yesterday: somewhat viral post about shooting billionaires into the sun (and my stupid "WELL ACTUALLY" reply)
also yesterday: elon musk leaves twitter "for a while" and jeff bezos steps down
COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!
(although tim cook joked that was just because his WinPhone doesn't have wifi support anyway)
finally, the win95 phone comes up top!
elongate sneaks down there and there's no database dude to be seen, but there's two people...
michael dell provided the server that the google trio are using, although it was purchased used off alibaba (thanks Jack Ma)
bloomberg supposedly had organized purchasing all the food but thanks to a fundamental misunderstanding of the issue, he just ensured that warren buffet was on the ship
George Lucas brought his VHS tapes and that fortnite guy Tim Sweeny brought a DOS laptop with a copy of ZZT loaded onto it
One of the Waltons went up to the founder of the Allegis talent agency and told him how much they loved his work, and he had meekly to explain that he wasn't THAT Jim Davis.
and we all know what he spent his cargo allowance on: a coffin filled with the earth from his home country.
if you're a vampire who needs to sleep on earth from your home country, what if the country you were born in no longer exists?
Peter Thiel was born in West Germany.
So he's got to find some dirt from prior to german unification
(and yes, it's That Steve Case. He's a billionaire!)
Don't they know that he will only be powered up by earth's yellow sun?

Friendly reminder that it's easier to leave the solar system than it is to get to the sun.

So remember, kids:

It takes more delta-V to crash a rocket into the sun than to send it off out of the solar system.
So don't burn the billionaires in the sun, fling them into the infinite cold darkness of interstellar space instead
even if we assume that countries don't matter and you just need it from the general sort of area you were born in, what if that area isn't really there anymore? like, what if it is underwater?
the last vampire is dead. the galaxy is finally at peace.
would they even notice?
"yeah, doc, about once a month I get slightly hairier and feel like howling at the moon. Weird, right?"
every full moon, the wereyeti shrinks and loses their hair, becoming a human guy named gary
like maybe they can only be truly killed by burying them in their home country?
go dig a hole in charlotte, NC and stuff them in there, and they're never coming back

Back in November, I published an article for @EFF about @HP's latest printer-ink ripoff: after offering its customers a free-ink-for-life plan, it unilaterally switched them all to a $1/month-for-life plan.https://t.co/bsc73xPSuo

Accountancy is more likely to be mocked than celebrated (or condemned), but accountants, far more than poets, are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.
