My church has this event called Youth Conference where teenagers go to another city for a few days for a conference. One year, a brother and I went to one. There were booths with a bunch of gospel games, food and drinks, and prizes. We were all given tickets to use. My brother and I looked at each other, combined our tickets, and went to grab a few prizes and some food and drinks. The adults were trying to convince us to go play the gospel games but we ignored them. When the event ended and the true purpose was revealed, everyone in the room turned and looked at us.

For the rest of the conference, people kept coming up to us and saying how funny they found what my brother and I had done. When they came to my town the next year, they told me about how they still laugh about it up there.

I like to think that I am quite skilled at detecting this type of issue. Now that I think about it, this might be related to my pun skills. Being able to decipher more than one meaning is critical for doing both.

And an earworm.

“include streaming music directly to the brain”

Music is misspelled. It’s ads, not music.

They are less likely to get along which would lead to additional drama.

His next job might look at his job history and suddenly decide that the position is no longer available.

And the guy now works for CrowdStrike. That’s ironic.

Orange snowflakes as well.

There are two Brewster Rockit strips that are applicable here.

The pandemic that was caused by poor people hunting wild animals to sell their meat to make a living? Gosh darn, I wonder what we could have done to make it so these people wouldn’t have to resort to that to make a living.

What the poor people were doing happened in another country and therefore there was nothing that we could have done to change their way of life. We can’t dictate to China how they treat their citizens.

Bots would help but have their own problems.

Nothing. That happened in another country. Also, hunting wild animals to sell the meat has been a thing for millennia.

Perhaps 10%. Taxes at one point went up to 90%. Some companies do need more, especially small businesses. As for not needing to subsidize anyone, when the pandemic struck and the checks went out a lot of people paid bills (I managed to get rid of my student loan debt, with help) but many went on spending sprees and some of those still couldn’t pay rent. Wealth distribution isn’t as great as it sounds and I’m on SSDI.

So search for a lot of domains at random to cost them some money?

So he should get the address of every single person in the country and divide his money equally among every single person and have no money for himself? Maybe only keep the same amount for himself that each other person is getting? That’s ~342 million people. Give them $3 each and no more billionaire. Worth $10B? $30 for each person.

Elon Musk is the wealthiest person in the USA and is worth $251B. $750/person would help for rent for one month. You could take money away from babies and maybe get a full month, maybe two.

Jeff Bezos is next at $161B. That’s about $480/person.

Of course, this means that their money is gone. No golden goose. Do you think that they should subsidize every person in the country?

They put a MBA in charge, which are notorious for only caring about short term results with the most amount of money. MBA + public company = bad long term.

There are almost one thousand distros. What’s one more?

A college advisor gave me the nickname of Morris Virus. Computers would go haywire, even crash (at least one death), if I was near them (and sometimes when I was about to arrive). I got kicked out of the Computer Center dozens of times. I got in trouble in other places, like at the local ISP, and got banned from touching some computers.

Streetlights would turn off as I approached and come back on after I passed them. A friend used that to find me.

A great aunt and a brother would meet up from time to time to exchange watches since watches would run faster for one and slower for the other.
