Apologies for the the shitty photo and wall of words, but there's a front row seat to the absolute circus that was my street yesterday afternoon.
Had a wrecker blocking my other stoop, police, firetrucks and Incident Response vehicles lighting up my kitchen, and a crowd of rubbernecks (two of them exchanged numbers and made a date).
Squint towards the back and you can see the stolen SUV that plowed through the intersection, sliced off a car's bumper, bounced off a retaining wall and then ping-ponged UP the hill, totalled my neighbor's car, and then flipped.
The guy fled the scene, leaving behind a Rottweiler and drugs. Said dog eventually climbed out of the SUV and was running loose in the neighborhood.
We live right on the street, our stoops are 3 steps and the road starts. Said road is narrow as Hank Hill's urethra. Had that asshole been driving southbound, he would have either hit both my and my girlfriend's cars, or a stolen car with a dog and heroin could have landed in the living room.
The icing on the cake is of all people, the parked car that was totalled belongs to the neighbor who is far, far too old to have a room full of giant Pokemon dolls (pushing 50, Pikachu is pushing 5 feet, and yes we all saw them that one time you forgot to draw the shades), and I'll just leave you with his vanity plate.
ps don't make fun of my roses, rose season is over.
- Holy shit! Glad everyone’s okayscarabin
- Thanks bro. I was locked away in my office when it happened, and when the dogs started going nuts because GTA was happening outside..garbage
- ..all they got from me was a weary "ugh please stfu". Then I walked to the kitchen for a snack and it was bedlam.garbage
- also PS, when the SUV flipped it almost hit my neighbor's other car. An orange Mini with an "OHAI" vanity plate, lol.garbage
- Your place looks gorgeous x.Nairn
- @nairn lol. Been too busy for gardening. I can't even describe this neighborhood in a note. Google and other campuses are a few minutes walk.garbage
- 50/50 on this place being a speakeasy in the prohibition era, and coyotes sleep underneath that horrid hedge in the first photo.garbage

- Pokeman needs his hard drive checked.i_monk
- @i_was That's Leo. He wants to be a coyote. And I am pro-coyote, they eat all the city rabbits that eat pretty much everything I plant.garbage
- lol shut up about the roses, the photo was me sticking my phone out of the kitchen door, and Pokeman is still a mystery to me.garbage

Stock of the Day
Just wanted to continue my thread from a couple of posts up and thank nb and mono for their input.
Imagine being on Dragon's den or Shark tank and you pitch to the investors. They love your idea and are willing to give you a ton of cash for a portion of your business. Company makes money, dragons make their proportionate cut, everyone happy.
Now imagine if instead you say "instead of giving you a direct piece of the company, I'll issue you shares. now these shares won't give you dividends or any profit sharing and I never have to buy back those shares but hey, you can trade them amongst your dragon friends or your buddies"
They would laugh you off stage no? But isn't this how the stock market works?
- what market do you belong to? i bet they'd take your stock off if you were a publically traded company.hotroddy
- Well what you describe is kind of like what they offer on shark tank, except they aren’t publicly traded companiesnb
- So, no, they wouldn’t laugh you off the stagenb
- Also Shark Tank is a TV show and does not represent realitynb
- Yeah for sure just using it as a simplified analogy obvious public companies are not shark tank but it seems that they raise funds but offer nothing in return_niko
- Its funny is that I run with the director of the securities and exchange commission 3 days a week yet here I am on a design forum taking shit from hotroddy lol_niko
- I’m pretty sure when I ask him he’ll pull me aside and say “mate, it’s just a big Ponzi scheme” :)_niko
- @_niko i think you must first meet certain conditions before you can think about getting listed + that's why shares have classes.sted
- &u know what ROI is and how it works?sted
- @niko, I've played golf with Arthur Levitt :)hotroddy
- and I don't quite understand it myself.hotroddy
- when you own shares you actually own part of the company and to me that seems more tangible than money. What is money but an exchange of trust.hotroddy
- You’re welcome. And yes that’s how it works. They sell stock to the public and people trade it among themselves. That’s it.monospaced
- If a company conducts a “buy back” it lowers the amount of available stock and usually increases price of remaining stock in the wild.monospaced
- Supply demand etc.monospaced
- The dream goal of any shark from shark tank is to be so successful with their business they can offer shares publicly.monospaced
- You ‘own a piece of the company’ except your ownership is subservient to bond holders and other secured creditors who own the company’s debt.monNom
- So your ownership is contingent on the continued functioning of the company as a going concern. If it runs into hard times, you go to zero. creditors get paid.monNom

Pic of the Day
The AI-generated people on https://thispersondoesnotexist.c… are super convincing. However, what goes on in the background of these images is fucking nightmare fuel. The whole thing makes my skin crawl.
- There is a small averaging effect, so most AI faces turn out to be harmonious/relativel... good-looking. Real faces have more deviationdrgs
- Sure. I'm talking about the mutant faces and body parts in the background.jagara
- Hands fused with plants etc. Eeech.jagara
- dead eyessted
- I expected to find the children more convincing that the adults, but I think the opposite is true.Wolfboy
- Maybe it's the lack of extra features (aging lines, stubble, etc.) & smoother skin make the general subtle flaws more obvious (eyes that are slightly off, etc.)Wolfboy

- You can replace all the wifi names in your area with rickroll lyrics, crash their connection, and weird stuff like that but i’m too nice to do it to anyonescarabin
- Kind of tempted to buy, but there has to be an app which does the same on your phone? Or not?drgs
- This is the V3. I have the V2. It looks like the laser and improved case is the only update. You can use it to spam SSID graffiti.garbage
- And in a totally hypothetical situation where a neighborhood bar hasn't sprung for 5g and rely on streaming services for music, it's a convenient mute button.garbage
- They're all currently 2.4khz, but when somebody makes one with a 5g broadcast, it's going to be bananas. INB4 people ruin smart checkouts at grocery stores.garbage

- Only to wear for commando attacks :/i_was
- The V2s are hilariously conspicuous. It really is just a tiny breadboard with a screen. There's also a massive LED you have to disable via code..garbage
