I got curious and did the math if $44B was denominated in $100 bills.
That’s 496.85 cubic kilometers of cash. Or a pile of money that covers half of the continental US, stacked 1/4 of the height of Low Earth Orbit.
I honestly don’t think one could physically burn that much cash since May 2022 in real life.
Edit: more mind bogglery!
The earth is ~40,000 km in circumference, so you could stack the bills almost 28m high around the equator (or circle the globe 256,482 times.)
Then why are they even still there?
Sunk cost fallacy or misplaced hope are other options outside of Napoleon complex.
We all have bad days. Unfortunately his coincided with the only time you saw him. I don’t think that makes him an asshole. I think it makes him human.
You ever call in sick because you’re not feeling it? Public figures can’t do that because people will call them an asshole.
Preface: I have no opinion. Have not installed, and will not install because I don’t need it.
If you have to ask, it’s probably worth investigating further.
The first thing I would do is search around for any mention of the app name and variants on the word “password”.
Never install anything that you don’t trust, and dissociate from your “real” email/identity for those that you aren’t sure about. Whoever owns the software potentially owns your credentials.
Current models waste space, weight, and durability by including an “off” button.
I love comparing apples to orangutans. Really paints a clear picture.
I like to commit crimes while screaming that I’m committing crimes.
It makes the crimes more obvious so that everyone knows I’m committing crimes.
reconsider your approach.
Start with the fucking name. Yikes.
True. Malice and idiocy aren’t mutually exclusive, but you tell me what REPEATEDLY lighting $44B on fire is more likely to be.
Funny enough, it’s actually Hanlon’s razor.
Valid cert.
Convinced my boss to get me a nice black glass one a few years ago, but it’s where ideas go to die because it’s inconvenient to write on it. :D
It’s gotta be right in front of me for it to catch the information, but intrusive enough to look at accidentally from time to time.
I take a lot of quick notes throughout the day that I need to see for up to a week in my peripheral as reminders, but also strongly dislike seeing sticky notes all over my desk.
Been looking at the new Kobo e-ink tablets because of basically everything you said about your iPad.
They aren’t cheap, so ive been hoping that someone would talk me out of it.
Thanks, and apologies. I’ve edited out my idiocy. Misremembered, and was thinking of something else.

The initial project was created inside Amdocs, while building a chat tool called “Amdocs Unified Communications”,[4] by Matthew Hodgson and Amandine Le Pape [fr]. Amdocs then funded most of the development work from 2014 to October 2017.[5] Matrix was the winner of the Innovation award at WebRTC 2014 Conference & Expo,[6] and of the “Best in Show” award at WebRTC World in 2015.[7]
If you know why that’s weird, it’s fuckin weird right?
At the price of 1/8 oz, I’m sure. Ohio is the dropout that sold to the kids in high school.
This was my initial read, so I clicked over to the discussion. They discuss the lack of captcha on that domain, and how that protection is flawed in every lemmy instance.
In short, there’s no way 1.05 million genuine new accounts went to a single, small lemmy domain in less than a week.
This isn’t a logo. It’s a cry for help from a severely distressed mind.
