First trillionaire when?

 

LibriVox is otherwise pretty normal, but this has me puzzled. The CD (!) case insert says: "Read by Justin Barrett, braindouche, Cow Nose the 50 Pound Cat, Sibella Denton, Esther, and Andrew Lebrun. Total running time: 00:54:13." Seems insane to me. Why put the whole reading on a CD? Why 5000 digits? Why are there no chapters? What if they made a mistake? Did they double-check the result? Who needs any of that anyway?

Nice, she got a facelift and dyed her hair black.

Next you'll be telling me that "So, how often do you flick the bean?" is not a great pickup line.

These days, what's an ashtray in a car for if you can't fill it with couscous.

We get them a lot around here. They don't make for good pets, but they keep the borogoves at bay.

Church events work fine, too. My buddy and me went to one in a damp basement and it was about 30 people. 100% women. Average age about 22 I guess. All were dancing. They all immediately started staring at us as if we were edible. Within the hour, my buddy met what would soon become his GF, and I was approached by this amazing girl. I then went on a string of remarkable dates with her.
The kicker: It was a Christian event, but the girls we hooked up with weren't Christians at all.

I gotta disagree with you here. At least on the sub(s) that I still - on the occasion of big events - take a glance at. To me, Reddit comments are the epitome of staleness and predictability. Also, their user base seems like a bunch of 40-year-old dads that mentally peaked at 16, but keep getting more racist by the year.

Precisely this. From a philosophical-logical POV, it doesn't make sense. From the POV of establishing and maintaining power/ dominance/ oppression/ hegemony, however, it's the only thing that makes sense.

I'm getting a sort of buffer underrun when doing routine so I'll always try and make trivial tasks or busywork faster, more efficient, or superfluous through process design. When I cannot do that, I'll listen to music or podcasts, that helps somewhat.
The main drawback of this condition is that many employers think I simply "like to work" and bury me in even more busywork.

 

Noch eingeschrumpft, bin sehr gespannt.
Der Laika-Verlag ist zwar bankrott gegangen, der Buchverkauf geht jedoch weiter, solange der Vorrat reicht.

The experience? For me, very nice. MorphOS does what I want it to and nothing I don't want it to. I'm using it on my laptop when traveling. I even bought a second computer, a tower, to put another copy on it.

During the pandemic, this was, in fact, my main computer's desktop. Bonus: SimpleFind screenshot. Isn't it the greatest finder program of all time?

I'm certain my productivity at work dropped significantly because of this fucking upgrade. It's slow as molasses, at times unstable and 50% of the time I send the laptop to "hibernate," both it and me wake up to yet another update cycle, meaning it did a completely unwanted hard restart and my unsaved work has been lost without a warning. Crazy my company is paying for that shit.
