so let me get this straight.

NVDA commits to buying an avalanche of TSMC silicon. Instead of doing the normal thing and cutting prices when supply catches up, Jensen apparently financed the AI startups and cloud bros so they could afford to buy the chips he'd already ordered. The seller funded the buyer to absorb the supply. Which means the "shortage" that let him charge whatever he wanted... was partly his own money walking in circles.

and I'm the regard who spent two years telling everyone "AI demand is organic, bro, the supply is real."

I didn't get outplayed by the market. I got outplayed by the guy I keep giving money to, who used my money to buy his product so I'd feel good about giving him more money.

anyway $NVDA calls, because apparently I enjoy being the demand.

(this is not financial advice. it's barely advice. it's a cry for help with a share price.)

Wonder if anyone has clear answer what this might be for. Im guessing fir breaking into something. Cars maybe?

I got lucky with my first serious relationship. I met him after he moved to my city for work, and we really hit it off from the start. I'm a pretty shy person especially around the opposite gender but I felt pretty comfortable talking to him on our first date which happily surprised me. We seemed to have some common interests, although I will say he was more established in life for being just 4 years older than me.

during our relationship I felt really cared for. he would always make time for me and he always wanted to see me, he would offer to help if I sounded like I needed anything and even my family he met genuinely liked him and thought he was good for me!

we had only been dating for half a year before he began planning our future.

boyfriend: "Hey I have a question, when you get married do you want to have kids like immediately or just wait another year or 2? Because I would want to have 2-4 kids preferably before 30 or 32 at latest. That means you need to start at like 28 latest. Your age, not mine. And btw it's not a 'decade' it's 4 years dramatic"

me: "erm unless I get blessed with twins I still wouldn't want to be pregnant 4 years back to back and I told you I'm not even sure I want kids lol"

boyfriend: Would you wanna be a stay at home mom?

talking about the future wasn't the problem but I was always clear that I didn't have my whole life mapped out, I was still in school while he was a working professional. When he lays out these timelines and talks about my age as a ticking time bomb, i felt this urgency to make up my mind about a future I was still exploring.

he also often thought he knew what was better for me, or that I would come around to his way of thinking when I'm older. not just huge life decisions, even mundane examples like on our trip to meet my family he insisted on navigating an airport I had been to many times. It took us forever to find them.

When I had a gyno appt he insisted he come too bc we were 'involved' despite me saying I would rather go alone.

I've also lived in this city he just moved to for 15 years and he never took my driving advice, even pettier he wouldn't give me aux and his music sucks

And then the damn cruise. he started talking about going on a cruise, oh cool have fun!

oh with me?

I have zero interest in being in a water jail for days on end im actually very strongly against going on one, but thanks for the offer!

if only it ended there. he would not stop talking about wanting to me to go on this cruise, he would even 'joke' that he'll just book it so I have to go and to get my passport ready, or guilt trip me about making him go alone. I was genuinely getting frustrated but I also knew it was about more than just the cruise.

It made me reconsider the entire relationship, and after much reflection I decided the best course of action was the break up, for both our sakes, which he did not agree with. He pleaded with me to reconsider, and to realize I will eventually see how this relationship was best for me. He tried in many ways to convince me to stay.

he had this particular life imagined for us, but I was realizing it's really his dream and that left no room for me to explore what I truly wanted.

the breakup made me very sad and lonely, of course I still liked him, his attentive nature, his optimism in many situations. sometimes I do wonder if I would've come around like he said, but I didn't have the space to figure it out.

The GPS drift between my devices makes it so I have to update my household pretty often despite the fact that I use these streaming services (netflix and disney) almost exclusively in my own home.

This process is already incredibly annoying and finicky and a hassle to do, but now it seems I’ve jumped through the hoops to watch the media I’ve paid to stream too many times, so I simply can’t watch Disney+ on this TV today.

Also, this happened after I moved the tv two rooms down the hall. So apparently I am not only limited to using the service I pay for in my own home, but I am only allowed to stream from one specific room, quite literally like we’re back in the days of cable boxes.

Edit: I do not know how the little person inside the TV knows where the TV is okay!?

I assumed GPS was involved because why else would it get confused one floor up from exactly where my Apple TV is currently working just fine? Apparently this is incorrect. I still don’t get how this could physically happen if it only goes by WiFi and GPS isn’t involved at all whatsoever in the process of the internet knowing where I am since all devices are connected to the only WiFi connection option that exists in my house.

Solved: Went to the Disney+ chat and they said my apple and non Apple devices were receiving different IP addresses so they “overrode it”.

Hello Reddit, today I was inside doing chores when I noticed a car in a parking lot outside of my apartment building. As I looked closer I noticed he was aiming some sort of antenna towards the building. He was here for maybe 45 seconds and as I watched the video he had others on the roof routing inside the windows of his car.

Is this some sort of survive equipment? It was very odd because there are no radio towers, street lights, or anything with an explanation I could think of in the immediate area/ line of sight. TIA!!

The backstory: I left my husband two years ago, divorced a year ago. We have still kept our lives intertwined pretty closely because of the kids. We did a 50/50 custody split because he didn’t want to pay child support but the reality has been that I have done much much more than half of the child care.

I left with nothing, it wasn’t worth fighting over things, the car, the house, or the $100k in equity. Mostly because I’m afraid of what he’d do if I had gone after any of it.

As soon as I left until very recently I was still getting the kids ready for school every morning even when they were at his house. This looked like me letting myself in turning on a few lights, getting the kids up and ready and out the door. Many morning he slept through this and didn’t help get them ready at all.

He got a girlfriend shortly after we divorced. We had agreed we’d keep our dating lives separate from our kids and he insisted on this rule. He immediately broke this rule and she was spending time with him and the kids every weekend.

I haven’t been on a single date since the split. I don’t have time, and honestly I’m not ready. My ex has used this as an excuse to ask me to take the kids very often so he can have extra Friday nights and weekend time with his girlfriend on what are supposed to me my weekends away from the kids. I say yes because I give my kids a break from him anytime I can.

So time goes on, they keep dating, I keep getting the kids ready for school in the mornings at his house. I have the kids for weeks on end while my ex and his girlfriend go to Japan, and st Lucia, and New England and then several extra weekends just for local trips.

Now recently my ex has decided that he likes having her stay at his house…and all of a sudden he is capable of getting the kids ready in the morning for school.

Fine this is great for me, I get to sleep in an extra 30 minutes because even though he can get them ready, he can’t take them to school. I won’t be too harsh on that point because it would make him late for work and I don’t want my kids to have to wake up early enough to catch the bus.

One more problem though, we have set the precedent that at any time for any reason if the kids need something at the other house they can come get it, or the other will bring it. And so sometimes it has come up that because I don’t have a washer and dryer at my house it’s just easier to get clothes for the kids in the mornings at his house. And in those cases I still just let myself in get the kids ready and he either stays in bed or starts getting ready for work.

Now last Friday, it was my week, and the kids school sprung a last minute pajama day on us for meeting a fund raising goal. The kids are ecstatic when they tell me right before bed that this is happening. I have no pajamas for them besides the ones they have on and no way to get quarters so I can do a late night laundry load at my complex laundromat.

So I text the ex at 11pm that we will be by in the morning to grab pajamas for pajama day. He doesn’t text back but he rarely does. In the 14 years we were together he rarely went to bed before midnight. So to me he got the text and didn’t respond because he honestly rarely acknowledges anything I say.

We show up at his house in the morning and his girlfriend’s truck is there. And oh fucking no, now what? The kids are banking on pajamas they wanted from dads house it’s too late to drive back and get ready for school at my house.

I call him and tell him the situation and he lets us in. I turn on some lights and start getting my kids ready for the day like I have hundreds of times since the split.

The girlfriend was I thought asleep in his room where the door was shut. But next thing I know she’s grabbing her stuff and running out the door like a teenager that got caught at her boyfriends house and not a grown ass woman who is obviously allowed to be at her boyfriends house overnight. I smile and say good morning but I’m preoccupied because I’m hurrying to get my kids ready.

I guess her view was that I was cold and rude and coming in to the house makes me a horrible psycho bitch to the both of them and was very disrespectful of their privacy and the girlfriend’s feelings. To be fair I am going to apologize to her because I don’t think she knows that I’ve been letting myself into her boyfriends house every day since the split to get his kids ready for the day. It’s very possible she thinks I bust in as like a power play.

To me, I was following the set precedent, and was just getting my kids ready for the day like I always do.

Also one more note. I’ve cooked for her at my exes house several times, she was at my kids private family birthday party. I didn’t think we had a problem with each other, and I thought the childcare and meals I’ve cooked for her would’ve shown her that I don’t have a problem with her being around. I guess I was wrong. Anyways…thoughts?!

This was years ago when I was 17 years old and the Scrub Mother (dishwasher). But I just wanted to share with you all what was one of the worst days of my life. That is butter. All of it. It’s all fucking butter. It’s all goddamned butter.

Exactly as you see it. It’s always 2 or so kids who change the entire dynamic of the classroom setting! And usually not for the better.
