If you are a vampire in this situation please reach out to me and I can help get you started with VampCoin it's the first and only crypto designed for vampires.
you'd think that vampires would be rich from compound interest and things like that but you'd need a pretty complex setup to avoid detection, and what if you predate capitalism and can barely read. just continually building up a small pile of savings and then getting wiped out and/or scammed

Oh boy. It’s the 2025 watch prizes! Here we go- there are more winners than the Oscar’s so this is a bit of a thread.
We start at the top- the grand prize winner, for people who would like an expensive watch but are so rich it doesn’t matter what the actual time is.

Interesting stuff for the folks who aren’t rabidly anti and appreciate a bit of nuance.
I wrote up some notes on two new papers on prompt injection: Agents Rule of Two (from Meta AI) and The Attacker Moves Second (from Anthropic + OpenAI = DeepMind + others) simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/2/n...

New Zealand deserve that one in the end. Never went away. Ireland didn’t close it out and paid the price.

Ireland simply not good enough in the end. Poor bench showing and second half overall. We had the win in our grasp despite everything.
The really annoying thing about this game is they were there for the taking, despite all the bs. Ireland simply not good enough to take the opportunity.

Just a penalty? And the earlier incident with Beirne was a (20-minute) red?
Very well.
Very well.

Not even a yellow for NZ 2 for a clearly deliberate professional foul. “All we want is consistency ref”

The 20 minute red card isn’t the right answer. Getting the fucking decision right is the right answer. Ridiculous decision to give a red for a borderline penalty only to yellow incident

Ridiculous call from the bunker review. They didn’t look at it properly on the pitch, which is fair enough, but no excuses for the muppets in the video truck.
