Hilarious how little shame these "journalists" have in playing their part as propaganda mouth pieces.
Whats next? 10 holes in one at his last round of golf? Are we going to see pictures of him shirtless riding horses? Im just following the standard "Supreme Leader" playbook here

Matt Damon should just start funding and producing his own Matt Damon-ey movies and putting them on youtube or something. Why does he even need a studio or companies like Netflix dictating what movies people should watch? His best movies are all just solid script writing with good dialogue/character acting, which dont require massive huge budgets or any crazy expensive special effects.
He's right that his og bread and butter low budget movie isnt what gets shown in theatres anymore, but there's never been a better time to just circumvent that whole selection process
Matt Damon says Taxi Driver would’ve been clicked off on Netflix before it became a classic
"The bar for walking out of a movie theater is a lot higher than from just changing the channel"
"my friend Terry Kenny told me about the experience of seeing Taxi Driver in New York for the first time, he got up out of his seat... but he couldn't bring himself to leave because he was so invested"
"he was standing at the back by the door watching the movie... and there were two other people standing next to him who were doing the same thing"
"because the movie was disturbing them so much... which is not a bad thing"
"had that been on Netflix or Amazon... somebody's like, oh I'm disturbed, and they turn and change the channel"

Its getting to a point now where single youtubers are beginning to rival entire billion dollar media giants in terms of audience, watch time, and revenue generated from advertising.
I dont think talented people need guys like Netflix, or legacy film production studios (ie, Disney, Sony, etc) anymore.
People are even beginning to give less of a shit about awards shows too since they've lost all their integrity, so I wouldnt even worry about that either. I would bet most people under the age of 30 think getting 1bil views on youtube is more impressive than winning an oscar

This is a pretty good lesson in the perils of inventory management and consignment deals with uninsured merchandise (guarantee an insurance company would not be getting bullied around like Ben/Bryan)...
It should have been split into more manageable batchess, or bought outright if they wanted all of it. Doing it like this is way too messy in terms of inventory management (everything is a unique sku and dependant on condition) with way too much trust placed into a corporation
Coffeezilla confronted the CEO of Bricks & Minifigs regarding access to a spreadsheet
"I'm so confused..I'm on the file right now..it says owned by BAM franchising inc..created Sep 6, 2024" -C
"So we have the um..I had no idea (who had access)..we don't know how accurate it is, how up to date it was..I appreciate u sharing this with us bc we had no idea..we don't know everything..we don't go looking in every nook and cranny..if that's there, we can now have our team go" -CEO

Like, I just can't stress how retarded giving hundreds of thousands in merchandise at once to a company to sell *on consignment* is, even if I think B&MF stole the lego

Hahahahahaha what?
I've had a laptop running at about 80-85C (175F ) and I haven't turned it off in 5 years. It's probably not great, but chips can handle way more than their optimal operating environment
Yes, its expensive for NASA to do it because they're bloated and rely on outside contractors for everything, but this is probably a big reason why Elon/SpaceX has been focusing so much on reducing launch costs per lb, and are now dramatically cheaper than everyone else by orders of magnitude
The math works if you increase the radiator's (heatsync) surface area enough, and control the rotation of the satellite to reduce direct sun exposure. Sure, the heatsyncs/radiators may be the size of a football field for a satellite the size of a mini van, but the fortunate thing about space is it has lots of space

Computer chips have to stay at 140F tops. The radiator would need to be the size of a football field for just one satellite. The international space station cost 150 billion dollars - AI satelites dont have that kind of budget my friend.
Community note
Chips like H100s operate at ~90C, not capped at 140F. AI1 satellite design uses 110 m² radiators (football field ~5,350 m²). ISS $150B covers life support and structure far beyond radiators. Starcloud-1 flew H100 in space.

Ok, actually that's kind of technically a lie, because right now my power has been out for 24hr (big storm in my area yesterday) and still hasn't been restored, so the laptop battery died.
But outside of that, it's on 24/7 as my TV's media server

If taxes are so great why do the places with way less taxes function just as well (if not better) as places with insanely high taxes?

This actually has been tried before many times, and it always ends in mass starvation

Imagine if supermarkets existed to provide food to the community and not to make profit for shareholders
Imagine if housing were built to house the community and not to make profit
Imagine if healthcare was about healing the sick, not about profit
Imagine if utilities and transport were nationally owed and not for profit

Canadian boomers will look you right in the eyes and say that Trump/Americans are evil and repeat some retard rabble mantra of the week like "elbows up", that they get shoved straight down their throat daily by the CBC as they get it fed to them from the latest liberal think tank (imagine human centipede except its gay and retarded).
...Then without hesitation drive across the border to do their shopping in the US because its a lot cheaper, and not see any irony or flaws in their logic.
Not once do they ask themselves "Why is everything so much cheaper in the US?"

They literally don't know how right of way functions at a 4 way intersection with 4 yield signs, and just assume they always have the right of way at full speed because they're an inherently selfish/self-centered generation incapable of learning new things or adapting to change

Boomers, question for you…
When you are driving and you approach a roundabout, do you stroke out a little bit or what’s going on there?
What seems to be the major malfunction?
I’m asking for literally everyone…

This is what a “nice dinner” looks like in Canada right now.
Costco. Kirkland beef. Tenderloin and strip loin.
$84.99/kg
$240 for one whole tenderloin
$311 for a whole strip loin
These aren’t luxury cuts in some fancy restaurant. This is Costco. The place normal families go to try and stretch their money.
Under Harper, even premium beef was dramatically cheaper. Under Carney, this is the new normal.
Carbon tax on farmers, carbon tax on processors, carbon tax on transportation, carbon tax on the store… then they act shocked when the price of protein explodes.
This isn’t “global inflation.”
This is what happens when you punish production and reward virtue signalling for over a decade.
Canadians used to be able to afford a decent steak without it being a special occasion.
Now? It’s a luxury.
Drop a 🔥 if you’re done pretending this is normal.

33% of Canadians being irreparably retarded is probably pretty accurate
A new poll suggests that 33% of Canadians support the idea of government-run grocery stores.
My guess is that many within that 33% also believe that the primary reason food prices have risen over the past few years is grocer greed.

We should actually, because the positive GDP and tax contributions from people who drive outweigh the risks associated with infrastructure designed around driving efficiency
Cities should not sacrifice their residents’ quality of life on the altar of suburban motorists’ convenience.
