That’s a bad ass domain name.

That’s what scares me about the government trying to switch to crypto. It’s a whole new way to track and trap people financially.

It started in earnest under Regan. It’s just been difficult to see where all those changes would lead until all at once it smacked us in the face.

Unix and lawnmowers are nothing new or exotic either. I’m not stupid for not knowing how to repair a lawnmower, and I wouldn’t presume you’re stupid just because I can run circles around you at the command line.
I would, however, question your intelligence if you lack the ability to perceive the reasons behind different people knowing different things. It’s not that complicated.

It’s happened directly on Google before. Advertisers aren’t vetted except in specific industries. It could happen on any site, trusted or not.

I was even okay with images. It’s when the images started moving, making it difficult and distracting to read text that I realized if they are willing to sacrifice the core purpose of the page for ads, it’s only going to get worse.
Remember the target that would move back and forth really quickly to try to get you to click it?

I know surgeons who can’t start a zoom call. Being uneducated in a particular area is not stupidity. If you avoid dating someone over their lack of adtech knowledge, I would assume they are the one that dodged a bullet.
- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 3 weeks ago:
Is it a level playing field? In China workers rights are pretty non-existent and there’s no OSHA equivalent, at least not to the degree we have in the US. Then add in government subsidies, lower worker pay, reduced R&D costs because they pilfered the engineering from a US company, and you end up with a very lopsided market.
To be clear, I am in no way defending the US auto industry. They have little customer loyalty for a reason – low quality, overpriced, subscription dependent vehicles with terrible warranties, expensive service requirements, and invasive telemetry. They need more competition to force them to make more consumer-friendly decisions, but China is hardly a fair competitor.

True (and happy cake day) but the star looks most like an A to me, which I think is why I write it the same way.
- Comment on 413524 Gang, rise up! 5 weeks ago:
I think of a capital A, which is why I’m in the 4135 camp.

Out of curiosity, how do you write a capital letter A?
- Comment on 413524 Gang, rise up! 5 weeks ago:
Do you write a capital A starting at the top?

I have a family that lives an adventurous life with me. They don’t hold me back. Kids are so malleable. They don’t hold you back unless that’s the life you create (obvious exceptions for special needs kids may apply).
And “recklessness” is part of my youth I was happy to leave behind.

~ 35 is definitely golden era … at least for men. Old enough to be in control of your body and emotions, but still young enough to have spontaneous energy.

16-21. As long as there’s no top. I will get so twisted up and then it feels claustrophobic.
