The Fall of Civilizations series by Paul Cooper is one of the great things to come out of the internet.

Did it include the fall of Pax Americana?

Just a heads up. May not be as bad as it looks.

As an enormous fan of Danny Elfman, I had to watch this through to the end:

I can hear it!  The 60's / 70's retro stylings, especially in the orchestral version in the reel, it really brings it out.

I do like me some space documentaries. I was at Vandenburg, CA during this period as an Air Force brat. I followed the MMU progress closely at the time.

Going Full Coachella for a little bit. Just unmute the one that interests me at the time.

Hmm Post Malone or ..... 

I think I chose wisely....

This is good.

It is about computer components, but the same factors that affect that industry affect a lot of industries.

People are going to flip when prices of consumer goods start going up.

So this is 3 hours, but well worth it. I know people who've put it on at 1.5x or 2x, but there's a point where a company shows a spreadsheet of their actual numbers and how the tariffs affect their product.

Spoiler alert: on a product with a 5$ margin that's MSRP is 130$, it's costing them over 90$ for each one that's sold.

You're shocked? ...

Just like our sponsor!

I stopped watching anything by LTT a few years ago and I regret nothing. I feel dumber from just looking at their click-baity thumbnails.

I'd be lying if I said anything other than, I want this computer:

...or perhaps just some run time on it.

We watched Becoming Led Zeppelin on Netflix last night.  Very enjoyable...missed it on IMAX but such is life.

I didn't know there was an eclipse today.

Which is a 2-hr follow-up to the amazing 3-hr piece on tariffs in the computer hardware industry below:

This piece was big and eye-opening enough that Bloomberg picked it up and brought Steve from GN (aka Tech Jesus) onto their podcast:
