I would bet money this results in a mess of data centers in Hungary, maybe Serbia, maaaaybe Texas.

In? Its more like he’s one of the first wave of official Schedule F Nepo Babies.

But hey, I bet they’ll get a pardon if they need it ;)

You’re saying that being angry makes it acceptable to be stupid as well. That being downtrodden not only doesn’t offer the opportunity to be smart about it, that instead the oppressed can’t be free to do much other than be hateful assholes.

Cool. Cool cool cool. Was that already written inside your MAGA hat from a factory in China? Or did you have to write it in there next to your own name so you didn’t forget that either?

Edit: the last part is slight /s since I know you don’t really mean that, but its a slippery slope.

Yeah, it’s listed on their wiki as a possible reason.

Suffocating a struggling zebra requires a healthy song jaw and teeth. One wrong tooth starts to hurt and suddenly the lion can’t hunt large prey anymore. Humans are very easy to kill relative to usual lion prey, so we’re the blended ham and peas at the nursing home.

First off, lions rarely attack humans. Most notable repeat cases have been found to have been the result of a tooth abbess that makes it hard for the lion to hunt its usual prey. This was likely just bad timing, and a lion hanging around a camp waiting for interested prey like warthogs to also be interested in food scraps.

If the tent didn’t have a full bathroom attached, then this wasn’t “luxury.” Full stop. Even an en suite bathroom attached to the tent doesn’t cross the line into “luxury” at some camps. But that doesn’t mean they won’t spray “luxury” all over the website of any camp with mattresses and a lodge restaurant to justify the upcharge.

Next, he was a local, staying in an elevated tent, likely on top of his car. I doubt he paid more than $20 a night got there stay.

As for all you people saying “well good” because he was a “businessman” keep in mind that the media simplifies things like a person’s whole life into a word, and would do the same to you. He owned an Off Road Centre, a place that kits out 4x4s for exactly the kind of thing he was doing, camping on the Skeleton Coast. That being said, being a person of British descent in Namibia that was a young adult during the Apartheid era…eesh.

If you feel you MUST hate this person, that’s your only real avenue and you all don’t even understand that. Hate will consume you, and makes you stupid. Maybe try not being a dick and accepting this is clickbait with limited detail because of only contains enough info to piss you off.

Not at all. Especially in Namibia.

Edit: if there wasn’t an en suite bathroom attached to the tent, its not fancy. En suite tents are absolutely a thing.

Source: lived in southern Africa for a while, did a lot of sketchy car camping that included many, many opportunities to be killed on the way to the toilet at 2:00am.

Lol, idiots. This is what happens when you lose touch with reality.

Case in point: These geniuses pushed seasteading for nearly a decade until they realized what everyone else did in the first minute of hearing the idea, that it is a dumb fucking thing to live on a floating trash heap to avoid normal amounts of regulation and participate in society. None of them ended up wanting to actually so the thing they were pushing.

How’s their Utopian blockchain city idea going? The only IRL version, Prosperia in Honduras, is falling apart.

These people are fucking lunatics, simply by virtue of using abject wealth to push ideas that are idiotic on their face, over and over.

The real danger is when idiots enthralled by money are elected into power and taken by these people. The blind letting the blind, elected by the dumb.

It’s temporary in the sense that 2 years ago, this stuff barely worked. We might be at a plateau of compute, but Deep Seek did highlight that gains may be possible through design rather than compute.

This is not the end of history. In even 5 years what we’re all using now will be cringe garbage.

Because anyone that’s tried to use an LLM for more than shits and giggles knows they’re unreliable, finicky golden geese.

My rule with Claude is that if I can’t get a code fix after 3 asks, it’s hallucinating too much and I have to pull my shit into a new instance and start with new prompts. Yes, that’s a temporary problem that will last 2 years max, but its not enough on which to be totally overhauling the global economy today.

That’s what the broligarchy paid for. Literally. The term is “RAGE” Retire All Government Employees.

The guy’s not a Lannister. I mean, he probably would fuck his sister, but still…

That’s why I put it in quotes. Its sarcasm to us, but sounds legit to the ignorant consumer.

Because the benefit is that we’ve habituated ourselves to a system where $9.99^plus tax^ is both good advertising, and it means that the vendor passes the tax on to the consumer. As if they can just their up their hands and say “Sorry man, I don’t like it either. Here’s how much you owe the government.” Gas prices all include a tax of 9/10 of 1 cent per gallon for the same reason.

It also likely stems from early on implementation where no one was sure of the vendor actually paid all those taxes after all, so it’s a bit of “added transparency” even though it’s not really.

Of course, it’s 2025, this would be an easy thing to undo, but Americans are creatures of habit as much as anyone else. Try and charge a Boomer $10 even and say tax is included, they will absolutely think you’re ripping them off.

It’s because we don’t use a VAT, so taxes are not consistent rates by item or by locality. So for small shops with irregular supply chains, you price the thing however matches your bottom line, then let the register do the work on the final price.

For large chains, it’s about consistency. The McDonals 99 cent menu might vary state by state and city by city from the $1.25 menu to still $0.99. An advert for a TV at Walmart would have to list dozens of different prices applicable across the, many within a nominal price of each other.

There’s practical reasons, and Americans seem to think a VAT is essential communism (why, I have no clue), so its not likely to change any time soon.

It’s the same argument I have at the store when I try and make the store pay sales tax. “Well, it saaaaaid $9.99 and I only have $10.00 on me.”

It’s his official photo. The same thing in an 8x10 frame is hanging in every Federal building.

Literally how African despots do it.

Its such a stretch for an administration that has repeatedly failed hard to support its arguments with even coherent sentences. Not even kidding, the initial suits about mass firings, some US attorney said out loud that he had no evidence all government employees were criminals, but they just are because they are.

The Constition also has a pesky part that says all people within the county are subject to it’s laws, meaning that no one in the US is exempt from them by virtue of being a non-citizen. Seriously, do tourists not have to follow laws?

To be fair, everyone has underestimated his incompetence that hoped he would enact their insane dreams. Steve Bannon, Putin, Curtis Yarvin, Kevin Roberts, the Proud Boys and 3Pers, Kanye, etc.
