I have given unto the gods of travel, please bless my journey there and back again

Truly a good trip as I have already paid the charger cable and hat taxes.

Screenshot from a post on Slashdot: Meta Auditor EY Raised Red Flag on Data-Center Accounting Meta Platforms' latest annual report contained an unusual, cautionary note for investors. From a report: The tech giant's auditor, Ernst & Young, raised a red flag over the financial engineering Meta used to keep a $27 billion data-center project off its balance sheet. While EY ultimately blessed Meta's accounting treatment, the firm flagged it as a "critical audit matter." This means it was one of the hardest, riskiest judgments the auditor had to make. Such a warning label is rare for a specific, high-profile transaction at a major audit client. Meta moved the data-center project, called Hyperion, off its books in October into a new joint venture with Blue Owl Capital. Meta owns 20% of the venture; funds managed by Blue Owl own the other 80%. A holding company called Beignet Investor, which owns the Blue Owl portion, sold a then-record $27.3 billion of bonds to investors. The joint venture is known in accounting parlance as a variable interest entity, or VIE. Meta said it isn't the "primary beneficiary" of this entity and so didn't have to put the venture's assets and liabilities on its own balance sheet. Meta's assertion that it lacks power over the venture is debatable and has drawn scrutiny from investors and lawmakers. Meta is a hyperscaler and knows how to run data centers for artificial intelligence, while Blue Owl is a financier. Whether the venture succeeds economically will come down to Meta's decisions and know-how. In its report, EY said auditing Meta's decision "was especially challenging due to the significant judgment required in determining the activities that most significantly affect the VIE's economic performance."

It's been one tech scam after another since cloud computing plateaued, and I am
tapping the sign again that it is actually Big Data Center behind all this sloppy wasteful bullshit and this obvious house of cards.

Oh hey look

its almost admirable the extent that Bari Weiss has stupidified CBS News in just a matter of months.

I cannot emphasize how good the TVO show "Trippin'" is. Want to follow a train through boreal forest for an hour? Sure. Silently paddle down a fiver in the middle of nowhere? Absolutely. No narration, an occasional pop up factoid. Its perfect.

Aww seems like no one gave one fuck about the last batch of Super Bowl ads, lmfao

as a child i thought the computer was a magical, wondrous device. today i think of it as a demonic creature

I love how there is a separate half time show just for pedophiles.

I haven't seen any of you saying "Sportsball" or "Superb Owl" today, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Ahhhh ok that actually does make a lot of sense (or sounds familiar); I knew tons of astronomers who had to "finish" and document their equipment after delivery and installation

expedition 69 was literally an all-male crew and they didn’t even take advantage of being the sex number ISS expedition

Oh is there a game? Have not noticed as I have been petting this guy and prepping clothes for donation. And eyeing my bong and copy of the fan-extended SMB movie cut

omg what is this converting from/too? Love custom adapter work, so cool

Coming in late bit my god this just shows the contempt the majority of the board has for people here (tbh a lot of the people here also have contempt for everyone else here, thats a whole other problem )

I can't believe I crashed my helicopter even though the tail rotor was blown clean off last week. Sure everyone told me that it was "an extremely bad idea" and that I would "almost certainly crash within seconds" but I am like a really good pilot so this is bullshit, to me.

coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

I am just learning that 3 Doors Down had multiple platinum albums and number one hit songs, not just a one-hit wonder with "Kryptonite."

They were like an evil "A-Ha"

Looks like someone found their Kryptonite

One of the best parts about Patlabor is that it vividly demonstrates with one individual in particular exactly why cops+mechs can be an absolutely awful thing, they get no respect and waste tons of money and fuck up constantly, it rules (probably why the tonal shift happens)

You will have a wonderful time the entire way through

The first episode of Patlabor, compared to Patlabor 2: The Movie, is the anime equivalent of the first episode of Family Matters versus the last one.
