general

He watched his son drink himself to death and did nothing about it

You could see him losing brain function over the past year

It was obvious it was not going to end well

that's his son, I think any parent would cry under the circumstances, especially if they felt guilty or culpable in any way

Well obviously I was being a little hyperbolic...

I'm just saying I hope he knows he has much to reflect on!

That's trvke

trie*

RIP Cobes

It was very preventable so it's annoying

He was one of the few retards like this online that wasn't actually an irredeemable person

Exactly

He was one of the best lolcows because he was ultimately harmless to everyone but himself...

He didn't even rape his mother, what a great guy

I'm gonna miss watching the grossest recipes on the face of the planet get cooked by a crooked-eye goth bad boy

Oh that was him? Then it’s good he’s gone now

lole

Agree with Rusp, I think sometimes the parents are kind of relieved when their weird/sad/self-destructive kid dies

They wrote off helping them some time ago, even if they do/did care at some point

Get to collect some sympathy, and then are freed of the burden

Not necessarily the point I was trying to make but I'm glad you agree with me thank you

Ishould have sent that as 2 lines

Spooky, you are a delusional psychopath

I think I can fully agree with that if it's about parents of the omega autism non functioning children

Banging head on the wall and non verbal type

Sorta politics, but sorta just interesting

apparently we all own Intel stock now

we've nationalized 10% of Intel.... for some reason

1.3 shares/person

Yea i was reading about that earlier

My delicious golden share. Though I assumed it was just a way for them to prop up intel/US chip production further while making more money off of it directly

so are we NOT building our own chip manufacturing?

that was like, something i liked the idea of

It is the thing that prevents china from nuking the worlds technology construction industry by taking tiwan

Not having your own chip manufacturing plants is literally just letting china fuck the world on a whim

no we are Dialga, TSMC built theirs in Arizona

Intel also wanted in on it, got 50% of the way through building two of them, spent billions, and then the new CEO just decided randomly to stop a couple weeks ago

like, construction was ongoing, huge construction teams building literal megastructures

why would they do that lmao

this is the one in New Mexico

I think the other one was in the Midwest

Ohio

Here's footage of the Ohio construction they started in 2022

$28B spent so far

and they've "paused" it

likely trying to sell it and walk away

but why

no one knows

I really mean that

because it makes no sense

their profits are down 90% btw

they are deeply fucked

its not like they wouldn't make their money back with those super important chips

there's no saving intel at this point

yes, true

it was in fact, their only options at this point

and them stopping is just completely retarded

(also FYI, don't short Intel if the US goverment is buying shares)

oh, I might not have said this earlier

it's a new CEO

now, that's probably just blame shifting tbh

but it's kinda crazy to see Intel die in real-time

two beloved companies dying from incompetent new CEO decisions

I'll miss cracker barrel more

what if Phijkchu at the Ohio megastructure ruins

So it is because they mandated very high levels of diversity hiring from the foreign tech companies to help. Lots of the cosntruction has had borderline untrainable people/low skilled workers on the projects. Also a shit load of the moneg ahs been skimmed off the top down the chain on these projects. None of this either gets into the state and local districting & permitting level. It takes about 5 years for most factories to be built and permitted. Longer for production at meaningful scales. If you think this is crazy just looking into mining as an example it takes 15-20 years for a similar process. Oil refining is even more rediculous as no new refineries have come online since the 1970s. Also the government has been taking backdoor stakes into intel slowly and effectively nationalizing it

But this whole process has gotten so bad to where almost all the build crews, engineers, ect have to be importes and permitted fully before work cam be done because the lack of broad domestic expertise and the federal government mandates with the money being so heavily focused on ways to skim the money and push it into "diversity" mandates

It's crazy how we can't even reshore stuff anymore. It's extremely fucked

Saying corruption and grift is half the story, and yeah construction/infrastructure is especially hard-hit (on-top of regulatory BS)

I meant more that I don't think there is a public "official" reason being given at all

Not even mentioning choosing intel of all companies to try and make the head of all this reshoring is wild due to how poorly they've done.

Oh yeah absolutely not.

I have no love for Intel, and on the tech side they've fallen way behind cutting edge wafer production for years anyway

but it's alarming to see them just walk away
