Planaria?

Just to be a troublemaker, everyone is assuming this a solid cube, but what if it was something like 1/4 inch tungsten plates and hollow in the middle?

What would it weigh? Would it float in water?

I enjoyed that call exactly once, when I left Comcast for RCN.

“I’m calling to cancel my service.”

“Why?”

“RCN offers twice the download speeds for half what you charge. Can you beat that?”

“…I’ll switch you to cancellations.”

The one exception should be teachers who refuse to stop misgendering a student, and then only done by the other students.

Yikes! Is that what it is now? I got it a decade ago for $5.

Sleep as Android

Vasectomy if you don’t plan on having kids. Also consider mental healthcare. Everybody could use a little bit now and then.

Owning land is not the same as governing land.

If you are running in the Olympics, it doesn’t matter if the 2nd place guy is 5 seconds or 10 seconds behind you. You still get the gold.

My point is that he didn’t lose a significant amount of money.

Even with all the losses, he is still the richest man in the world by more than $50 billion. Musk dumped more than half of his Tesla stock and is focusing more on SpaceX now.

Musk could easily buy himself a governorship or a senatorial position and work up from there. That’s not his goal. He wants to be the next Thomas Edison. He wants to be admired and remembered.

Dictator’s opulent displays of wealth are to stoke their egos. They don’t care about the money they spend because they just took it, they didn’t earn it. They care about how much control they have over the people around them. They don’t care if people like them ,only that they fear them.

Starlink launched in Africa in 2023, so that covers a few oppressive governments.
