going to celebrating "sit-down-tober" this year

one more thing before i have to head out. today i walked a pack of diapers and a few bucks over to a food bank
i don't need to use the food bank, but i may have to one day. and i want them to still be there. they need the help and if you can spare some resources, they can stretch it a long way. thnx

Rafe @raferake.bsky.social · 3d

hey, got an alert and i'm be away for a few days most likely. "stuff happens" and "things came up" and all of that, so if i'm not back in a week: i either got hit by a truck on my least favorite stretch of road, or disney is forcing me at gunpoint to write the 4th attempt to make a "good" tron movie

as someone who was on SNAP four times let me tell you it would be *phenomenally hard* to exploit, they put *a lot of effort* into giving you *as little as possible* and are horrendously understaffed

if someone has managed to abuse the system they are Danny Ocean and you should respect the hustle

"sophisticated financial engineering" oh that's not good

Here is where the bubble dynamics get complicated. Tech firms don't want to formally take on debt-that is, directly ask investors for loans-because debt looks bad on their balance sheets and could reduce shareholder returns. To get around this, some are partnering with private-equity titans to do some sophisticated financial engineering, Paul Kedrosky, an investor and a financial consultant, told us. These private-equity firms put up or raise the money to build a data center, which a tech company will repay through rent. Data-center leases from, say, Meta can then be repackaged into a financial instrument that people can buy and sell-a bond, in essence. Meta recently did just this: Blue Owl Capital raised money for a massive Meta data center in Louisiana by, in essence, issuing bonds backed by Meta's rent. And multiple data-center leases can be combined into a security and sorted into what are called "tranches" based on their risk of default. Data centers represent an $800 billion market for private-equity firms through 2028 alone.

(Meta has said of its arrangement with Blue Owl that the "innovative partnership was designed to support the speed and flexibility required for Meta's data center projects.

[ OC-tober #31 - Trick or Treat ]
When your little boy wants to be Rapunzel for Halloween, as he thinks that she is the best and coolest princess in the world, you just vibe with it~ uvu ✨
Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃💖
#oc #art #Halloween

Rowsita dressed up as Rapunzel's tower from Tangled, by wearing a purple head that looks like the roof, a bage shirt and greyish-green skirt for the walls, including some stones for textures, green tights for grass. She's holding a bag that is striped like the window and housing part of the tower where she stores all the candy Avarus will get . He, as little Metal Avarus, is dressed up as Rapunzel, his wig is already moved and some of his brown hair is peeping out, as he can't stand still. he's wearing a purple frilly shirt and a purple skirt. The background shows some trees and a path they are walking along for trick and treating.
