I 💙 George (Takei), but the dude posts screenshots of his Twitter posts and doesn’t even include alt-text/ descriptions/ transcriptions of the walls of text he’s posting.

That’s just …

… wow.

Yeah……

And this is why my crypto wallets are all run in a sandbox on my local PC. Who in their right mind would trust a decentralized wallet.

How many people have tried to start an EV in -40 weather? What’s the range for an EV with 150,000 miles on it compared to when it’s new?

Just curious.

Well that’s a big “No shit, Sherlock!”

@feld That’s an interesting theory but this is the same political party that tried to overthrow the government. These aren’t conservatives. They’re terrorists.

@feld Yes but if they don’t raise the debt ceiling a lot more families will be affected unfortunately.

I really hate being right all the time.

@joshuafoust Target has just handed every one of these terrorists a playbook. And this isn’t going to stop with Pride Month. Target has shown that terrorism works and can be used to force any Company to bend to the will of any vocal minority.

Target’s total revenue grew $3 billion to $109 billion in 2022, from $106 billion in 2021. Total revenue has grown more than $30 billion since 2019.

Target’s comparable sales grew 2.2 percent in 2022, on top of 12.7 percent in 2021. Comparable traffic grew 2.1 percent in 2022, on top of 12.3 percent in 2021.

Target’s GAAP earnings per share (EPS) was $1.89 for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with $3.21 in 2021, and $5.98 for the full year of 2022, compared with $14.10 in 2021.

Target’s net interest expense was $129 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with $104 million in 2021, and $478 million for the full year of 2022, compared with $421 million in 2021.

Target has a higher comparable sales growth than Walmart, with 2.2% in 2022, compared to Walmart’s 0.7%1. However, both lag behind Amazon’s 27% net sales growth in 20202.

Target also has a higher gross profit margin than Walmart, with 29.8% in 2021, compared to Walmart’s 24.5%4. Amazon has a lower gross profit margin than both, with 23.6% in 20202.

In terms of product prices, Target tends to be cheaper than Amazon in categories such as food and beverage, health and beauty, and household essentials, while Walmart tends to match or beat Amazon’s prices in most categories3.

Target is not at a high risk of bankruptcy or going under, based on its current financial situation and performance. According to one source1, Target has a probability of bankruptcy of 19%, which is lower than the average of its sector (36.1%) and industry (20.7%). The probability of bankruptcy is a measure of the likelihood of financial distress, based on various factors such as credit ratings, stock volatility, financial metrics and proprietary data1.

Target has also shown resilience and growth in the past year, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and the competitive environment. Target’s total revenue grew by $3 billion to $109 billion in 2022, and its comparable sales grew by 2.2%, driven by an increase in guest traffic2. Target also has a strong balance sheet, with $8.9 billion of cash and equivalents and $11.9 billion of total debt as of January 29, 20222.

Of course, Target still faces some risks and uncertainties in the future, such as inflation, supply chain disruptions, consumer demand fluctuations and competitive pressures. Target also has some debt maturities coming due in the next few years, which could affect its liquidity and leverage ratios2. However, based on its current financial position and performance, Target is not likely to file for bankruptcy or go under anytime soon.

Do you want to know how you “stand with” the LGBTQIA+ community? You help defend it from bullies and baseless attacks!

No more Target for me, not until they grow a fucking spine.

@fikran @feld Used to be meat was a luxury or only eaten on special occasions. We should go back to that for the sake of our planet and our cholesterol.

Good thing he didn’t go to a pig farm.

@feld @cdevroe They don’t use the data when you pay for API access but they most certainly do when you use ChatGPT.

Source: I pay for ChatGPT+ and I pay for API access. I’ve read both of the agreements, man.

@cdevroe Just remember, OpenAI saves the data, and uses all the prompts and responses ChatGPT has access to, and generates, to directly train its future models. This is why Companies are blocking ChatGPT left and right. People are literally handing over trade secrets and intellectual property to OpenAI left and right when they use ChatGPT.

@atomicpoet @gruber While individual instances are certainly free to block Instagram, Wordpress, Tumblr, and any other entity that wants to join the fediverse, an open platform doesn’t get to decide who can and can’t use it otherwise it wouldn’t be open.

@BrianJopek MTG is either divorcing, or has divorced, her husband here in Georgia, and Bobo is divorcing her husband out there in Colorado. Says something. Not sure what. But it says something.
