I don't read DMs.

  • Same. I can't even swim.

  • They could just drink from the bottle, yes. But, then they wouldn't have the inspiration of the spam cup for afterwards.

  • Once cracked, a glow stick only lasts a short time.

    I'd suggest that you wouldn't want that, but... who knows? It would be interesting if we glowed brightly in the visible light spectrum (to short circuit the "well, ackshully" comments), just before we passed on.

  • I have a story about this... no way I'm going to tell it, though.

  • You're getting downvoted for posting a Facebook link, if you don't know.

  • $320USD/mo. for healthy, organic food for one person. It could be less, maybe 75% of that. I've been considering making changes, but I like what I like.

    I'm going grocery shopping today, in a couple of hours, as it happens. I shop once per week.

  • Garbage in, garbage out, it's the same old story.

  • They all did. That's why we need the unredacted files released.

  • Oh, well, if he insists...

    Lemme just get these out of the way for today:

    • Fuck Elon Musk.
    • Fuck Jeff Bezos.
    • Fuck Bill Gates.
    • Fuck Donald Trump, and his entire administration, family, and anyone who has ever supported him, and especially those who still do today.
    • Fuck Larry Ellison.

  • Which is why Elon is giving up on cars, and switching to robots, something else he'll fail at. It's his own damn fault, they should have admitted defeat and added Lidar years ago, when everyone else did.

  • No one questions Jeff's motives. We all know what his motives are.

  • ... and, assuming it is, why aren't they getting their cut?

  • U.S. authorities, who stupidly use WhatsApp for private communication, investigate claims that Zuckerbot is reading their shit.

  • There's no such thing as a true 1st person game.

    So, everything is a simulation? I mean, when I play cards with my friends it sure does seem like they're right in front of me, across the table, cheating and eating my nachos.

  • "Fading", more like jumped off a cliff.

    There is no safe amount of alcohol to drink.

    Everyone is broke.

    They watched their parents make asses of themselves while drunk, and today everyone has a video camera in their hand.

  • Epstein on 4Chan, because of course he was.

  • After the divorce, those clothes occupy the vacated half of the bed.

  • The divorce cost Billy at least $8 billion. When it was announced after it was revealed that Bill was on THE plane, I thought it was probably that--the reason they got divorced. But, there was always some doubt, maybe it was coincidence, maybe it was just the straw on the camel's back, and it's more that Bill is generally a shitty person, just like every other billionaire. The more that comes out, the more it's obvious this was more than a single straw. She didn't know how far he went, she was blind-sided. I can only imagine what that argument and following negotiation was like, and what she knows, that she signed an NDA to never reveal in exchange for the money.

    In the end, all billionaires are bad, even Melinda. She took the payout to shut up. She's "using it for good", but that's as much bullshit as it was when she was with Bill.

  • In typesetting, numbers ten and under are always spelled out, and also numbers at the start of a sentence of any size. Numbers one, through ninety-nine are hyphenated if spelled out, ninety-nine percent of typesetters agree. Also, the "and" is frowned upon. It should be "three hundred and twenty-seven", if quoting, if that is what was said, but three hundred twenty-seven otherwise.

    However, numerals in text is fine, outside of the limitations above, and there are lowercase numerals in many classic typefaces that are less jarring to the eye in body type than the uppercase numerals.

    Consider the number, 1,234,567. Spelled out, it's one million two hundred thirty-four thousand five hundred sixty-seven. That's cumbersome. That would almost always be written with numerals, and not spelled out. And, a sentence including it should be written to keep it from the beginning.

    (Yes, children, I said sixty-seven, please try to contain yourselves.)
