For reference, about $4.5 million would be enough for you to retire right now and have expenses of about $150,000 a year. And that includes inflation.

You would never have to work again.

143m is missing… … Of your taxpayer money.

Let that sink in.

Very jelly.

Don’t you talk like that about Ian.

Dude’s site was used to train AI.

Also, thank you for your hyper-vigilance. It amuses me, and for your sense of irony in using AI to criticize something that predates AI as being written by AI.

Chef’s kiss.

I read recently that they found bacteria in the ocean that’s actually metabolizing some (PET) plastics, so that’s kind of interesting. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251104013023.htm

It is, isn’t it?

I prefer parentheticals, but unless absolutely necessary, I try to write more simply because if I write how I actually think, it starts to get all John Sturat mill run-on sentence-y

I love your username. Capys are so adorable. I wish it was ethical to keep them as pets.

Yes! I’ve put it in my notes app…

So much Gish galloping and bad faith arguments, I’m fed up.

What kind of person — in academia or otherwise — actually uses em-dashes?

I am concerned for your safety.

Thanks friend. I’m stealing this.

Still speedrunning civil war, I see. I can’t think of anyone that wants this…

<2y I think. Buy your radios now.

Odd, I always thought they were a means to launder your money.

There are underground theaters here. They’re great!

This is fantastic, but from what I understand they use randomized OUIs, so wouldn’t they be undetectable or at least unreliable in detection?

Via con huevos, my friend!

While I’m not trying to piss in your cereal hwre, from my point of view, I got there early enough for a great seat and some motherfuckers already took the seat, then the ticket cost, then the food cost…

Also, it’s not Intercontinental travel, I shouldn’t need to book in advance to have a good experience. The whole point of the experience for me is that you could spontaneously just go and have the whole experience. That’s all gone now, and I would have to plan way in advance to even get good seats. It’s not worth it for me.

There are still theaters like that, and they serve beer and pizza, so I go there instead.
