Elon wants to be Stark. He’s actually Iron Monger. He wants to be Stark so fucking badly.

I was under the impression that SMCF is a professional troll. I don’t take anything they say seriously.

According to a quick search, she makes $2.5 million to $3 million per year in residuals off of that one song.

I mean, that was back when if you wanted a home computer, you were building it yourself from parts from Radio Shack. Not exactly the same thing. I’m not certain that even Apple had the Apple 1 out at that point. I know they hadn’t made the Mac 128k, and weren’t going to for several years.

I haven’t ever met anyone that thought Bill Gates was prescient, just a lucky businessman.

Great quote. Better book. Written by “A True American Hero.”

2 × 10^37 according to the headline, but yeah. no, I miscounted.

One thing I forgot to mention, the thing that gave it away was it was cast out of aluminum, so it was really light. Probably worth a lot more these days, since this was about 16 years ago

I think that $20 decillion not only blows the GDP of the planet out of the water, it is also several orders of magnitude larger than the entire valuation of the entirety of the planet including the core.

Because of the period of hyperinflation, one day I had a boss unwittingly hand me $500. She bent down and said, “Ooh! Someone dropped a quarter! Wait this ain’t a quarter, what the heck is this?” She then handed me a 1934 500 Deutchmark coin. I told her what it was, and asked her if she wanted it. She said she wouldn’t know what to do with it, so after I sold it, I gave her $75 as a 15% finders fee.

Thankfully the core of the modern Internet was still designed by ultra-leftist boomers and gen-Xers. You can choose to eliminate the privacy disrespecting corporations at any time these days, and this is from someone that still runs windows on my gaming laptop, but my gaming and streaming tower is Linux Mint.

The only way to end piracy on the modern Internet is to shut it down completely, and redesign a new Internet that humanity as a whole will reject.

Which was late '80s early '90s slang for “it’s the best.” I had to double check the scene, but yeah, that was slang.

My knives just whisper, “Thanks for keeping me as sharp as I can be! I appreciate doing my job for you.”

Though the same could be said for most of my machines since I am literally an apprentice or jack of all trades, and a master of a few.

That would be preferable to tinnitus.

Fuck the circuits. It’s absolute bullshit that entities can game the system and shop for “favorable” judges because of the appellate courts.

The Cheat is grounded!

Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂

The system is down

I was combining Wesley with weaseley

I was going for a TNG reference. The HP reference was entirely unintentional, though may have been unconscious.

Shut up, Weasley!
