Late to the party but first verse of Stan by Eminem:

Subject: Reaching out to a thought leader in the space

Hi Slim,

I’ve been trying to sync up with you regarding some potential synergies, but it seems we haven't connected yet. I’ve left my multi-channel contact info (mobile, pager, and landline) below for your convenience.

I initiated a couple of touchpoints back in Q3, but they might have been lost in the shuffle or hit a delivery bottleneck. I’ll admit my manual data entry can be a bit unoptimized at times when I'm moving fast.

Anyway, let's pivot—how are things on your end? Hope the family is doing well! On a personal note, I’m currently scaling my own family and expecting a new addition soon. If it’s a girl, I’m already locked in on the branding: Bonnie.

Also, I wanted to express my condolences regarding the situation with your Uncle Ronnie. It’s a tough market out there; I actually lost a close contact recently due to some personal relationship ROI issues.

I know you get high-volume engagement daily, but I consider myself a top-tier advocate of your brand. I’ve been following your journey since the early-stage "underground" days with Skam. My home office is essentially a dedicated showroom for your portfolio. Your collaboration with Rawkus was a total game-changer—truly best-in-class content.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to a potential deep dive whenever you have the bandwidth. Let’s grab a virtual coffee and chat.

Best regards,

Your #1 Brand Ambassador Stan

How much of this is due to school phone bans?

I know kids are switching to mp3 players because of that.

Can you charge the ohone while listening on the phone?

I don't think I ever charged my phone while listening to music on my wireless in-ears. So that's a non-issue for me

I have a splitter but it's pretty niche and probably not the best DAC

Still above the fed's 2% target.

And it will go higher now. And given the President's hatered for high interest rates and the next fed chairman being a garden-variety lick-spittle, things are not looking up.

US pulling out of the JCPOA was the biggest travesty of the 21st century. No nation state will ever feel safe without a nuke now.

But Israel wanted to destroy Iran as competition. And they got it.

Agreed. And I'd say pulling out of the TPP is an equivalently big mistake, and will honestly have far worse consequences for the US but in far different ways. Letting China be the leader of the Pacific by pulling out, in combination with the terrible hostility to all countries there now, especially to South Korea, massively weakens the US economically and military. We just handed everything over, no fight, no fuss, no benefit to the US. Ugh.

As other comments pointed out, the department is very much spread out. It can be confirmed via a simple google search.

Why is such an egregious comment at the top?

This is part of the psyop.

I don't know if you are willing participant, or a well-meaning idiot, this is just poisoning the well.

We have proof that can easily verify what crimes took place. Stuff such as this is to distract from those crimes.

The script has already rate limited

The bash script for checking for infection? is that what you are talking about?

These "Grand Unified Theory" type declaration are always hot air.

Especially when citing ludicrous trash like "Confessions of an Economic Hitman".

It is a way to absolve responsibility

Companies are spending billions so they can say the dog ate their homework.

The State* is spending billions so it can say the dog pulverized the school children.

Easier and cheaper to just say "they were Hamas/Hezbollah".
