    No new cars have 0 miles. They have all been driven in transit at various stages. No one cares that you drive one like this. Carfax is garbage nonsense anyways. All that shows is the state record which likely wasn’t processed within 30 days. Most dealers are on a monthly or quarterly cycle anyways. Like with my auto body paint business most of my dealers paid my purchase orders monthly, some quarterly. That sucks because I had to float the funds in between, and automotive paint has enormous overhead relative to profit margin. I doubt any dealer is filing paperwork on any sale immediately. The 30 day window is likely just formalizing the filing window that already existed, and likely coincides with an increased filing window for dealers. No dealer really cares about individual sales like this anyways. The thing everyone cares about is volume and turnover rate. Everyone also knows only fools with too much money buy new or from dealerships. New cars burn tons of money from day one, and almost all used cars at lots are lease returns or repos. In both cases the car is beat and unmaintained. No one I worked around at many dealerships owned a car off the lot. I went to wholesale auctions as an agent a few times and it is a joke of a clown show. I started buying stuff off Craigslist to sell to dealers on the side when business was slow, because much better cars can be found this way and for better prices than auctions without the nonsense constraint of never being able to drive the auction cars prior to sale. I have never owned a car that sold for less than I paid for it initially, which is a brag few people even think about or realize is possible. You just need to know how to spot a deal, and cool rare cars people will still want to drive in the future.


  • It is blatantly obvious. It is mosad. Maxwell has the ties to mosad. The mosad connection is why everything in Gaza has played out as it has. It makes no sense. No sane person supports this genocide. The fascism is convenient for Mosad and extermination of the Palestinians. The Jewish cause has always been capable of leveraging enormous capital and has long been known for a lack of ethics throughout history. 47 acts just like someone that has extortion leverage over their head. Stuff like bombing Iran was done at Israeli command in opposition to party and everything he campaigned for breaking a support base that now demands the Epstein files as a response. People don’t do stuff that is that stupid and self deprecating on a whim. The issue is pushed around and lied about in the exact fashion as a con artist that is about to get caught. Epstein collected leverage around the world and that leverage is being cashed in for 2 million lives in Gaza.





  • It’s right there in Maslow’s Hierarchy of human needs at the top of the list. It may be an aging theory, but it is admissible in many courts. A lack of sexual expression is unhealthy and harmful for all humans. The person is literally saying they are doubling down on dogma and tribalism; two of the most dangerous and toxic traits of the most animalistic and deranged humans.

    So yeah, someone saying this kind of nonsense is scarcely better than someone talking about how jihad gets them close to god.


  • It is a conundrum with retail. In a bike shop environment, women are only 5%-15% of the market in objective unbiased total, (based on numbers from the largest wholesale distributors).

    Women will buy from women in a bike shop but not from men in most cases. Likewise, the demographic of male cyclists that shop in brick and mortar retail stores, is very partial to female staff. Therefore, by the back office numbers, a girl is statistically far more valuable for shop staff in almost every circumstance regardless of personality, intelligence, or skill. I would like to say otherwise, but the numbers in the shops with ~60 employees across 3 stores and years pointed otherwise. The thing that really sucks is how women’s retail stuff for cycling is always a loss or breaks even at best. The lack of volume leads to major issues with overburden inventory over time. Overburden is why most nice shops fail within a decade or are a hobby business with someone willing to inject considerable funds in the $100k-$300k range to bail out the shop about once a decade. Every time a wrong part is ordered or a poorly planned size run of clothing sells lopsided, or some niche lineup of bikes is suddenly unpopular, it chips away at cash flow and eventually strangles the business slowly from the back office causing a default on a major distributor’s credit account. This causes all the mainline distributors to pull the shop’s credit for cash only access. Next preseason order cycle, the margins will be garbage and no popular products are accessible. No shop will last more than 2 years like this.

    So like, I hired any female cyclist at a much higher starting wage. I was the Buyer and back office manager for the chain. From my perspective, I viewed women on staff like a life vest and triage. My job was to keep the thing alive for as long as possible without losing access to credit. Women were an opportunity to triage a large open wound where my alternative is to give up entirely on 5%-15% of the entire market.

    Maybe that is an interesting counter perspective. I only cared about the unbiased numbers. In most instances I rarely interacted with these people. And at work, I have a strict policy of ‘never shitting in my own back yard.’


  • Could go one of two ways, math, or human sacrifice.

    The sad thing is how close we are to getting into a space civilization and so much more but how we can’t get our shit together long enough or priorities straight. One m-type astroid accessed in low Earth orbit – there are several already there – has more mineral wealth than all that humans have ever accessed in the Holocene on the surface of this gravity prison with its differentiated gravitationally sequestered artificial resource scarcity that hoards all the good stuff in the core. All we have are the scraps that have landed on the surface after it solidified and got mixed around. The m is for metal. Those are remnants of differentiated, read - concentrated, cores of planetesimals. That kind of wealth makes resource scarcity obsolete and creates both wealth and infrastructure resources to get into space colonies. Space colonies cannot have waste systems. Their primary constraint is heat radiated into space. The wealth to fund and create such a sustainable environment fixes much of what we fail at now. It moves populations into space too. We’ve known about how to build the stations since Dr. O’Neill did the studies in the 1970s about only using established materials science and engineering to create the O’Neill cylinders at up to 9 kilometers in diameter and 30 kilometers long with just steel and concrete. The wonder of such innovation would accelerate our passage into the next age of technology – biology. One day the masters of biology will look back and pity us in our primitive stone age of silicon. The foundations of that world are stones of the future orbiting around us now.

    That is what I see when I look up. I see the twinkling reflections of cislunar stations much brighter than the background stars, a place where most humans live a few centuries from now. It is a remarkable place after the end of the age of scientific discovery at the beginning of the engineered expansion, but still centuries from my Parsec 7 that I call home.



  • Original comment said in good faith, but from sketchy long term memory of stuff I’ve come across. It seems like it was in a Lex Friedman or similar podcast at some point, but from some time in the last 3-10 years. I may have conflated or misunderstood, as I am not experienced with such complexity. I seem to recall it coming up around the time several astronomers were speaking publicly about issues with processing large amounts of data and soliciting solutions. I just recall wondering why search started to suck around 2017, and putting the pieces together when I heard this. Now, in retrospect, it seems much of the changes were also adversarial for rival AI training after the Transformers paper. At least, looking at how search results are salted now, and the way images are selected for search is absolutely adversarial for AI training datasets… but that is all I know, and should be taken as friendly neighborhood water cooler talk, always with the best of intentions.



  • There are only 2 relevant web crawlers; Google’s and Microsoft’s. All queries from every search engine goes through these two crawlers either directly or through a middle layer of obfuscation.

    The issue is that the internet is too large to index. This has been a known emerging issue for a long time. This is the real reason search sucks. It is not deterministic because it cannot be, but therein lies the issue. Without deterministic unbiased information, democracy is dead. And so search sucks. No one has been able to find a solution for efficient access to enormous databases like this except through the methodologies behind AI. At least not for real time search queries.
