I have to say, you have a very robust vocabulary.

I’ve heard it as, “Nothing will materially change until the plutocrats fear for their lives.”

Coincidences

Are investors from the US or our government allowed to buy swathes of real estate in the PRC to the same extent that the CCP or Chinese investors are allowed to?

I’m betting no.

I always felt connected to my inner Americium, but my mom said I’m a lanthanide through and through. My actinide father said, “don’t sweat it, she’s acting like a typical halogen.”

Including or excluding the Catholic Church as an organization?

I’m an infrastructure and devops noob here; take my words with a grain of salt.

I need GPU clusters with ECC VRAM for research and found it’s cheaper to just have my own high-ish performance compute in my own office I paid for once than pay AWS/Azure/GCS/etc forever or at least everytime I want to train a custom DNN model. Sometimes I use Linode but it’s for monitoring. But I can run shit at will and I have data sovereignty.
