It may not help much, but remember that it was the rational decision at the time. There is really no reason (other than hype) for the value of Bitcoin to move the way it does.

If you don't play the lottery and the numbers that you would have picked win big, then not playing the lottery was still the rational thing to do at the time, because the chances of winning are so astronomically slim.

Wasn't there some weird political fuckery in Munich as well, where the Microsoft HQ just so happened to be set up and pay their taxes in Munich once they switched back?

I don't see a link in your comment for some reason. I can just search for the name online so thank you for providing it. Just wanted to let you know. ;)

"The most sustainable phone is the one you already have". But if you need a new one anyway, go for it. I'm really happy with my FP4.

As much as GoT has shit the bed in the later seasons, the intro sequence including the title theme was always (and still is) amazing! It never failed to hype me up!

As we learned from trump during covid: If you don't look into a problem it does not exist.
It's a fact!

I agree with so much that has been said here. VLC, Linux as a whole (or GNU/Linux, of course) and many more. Obsidian is sadly not open source but its free and it's absolutely amazing!

What I haven't found yet is a FOSS (or even just "free as in beer") replacement for MS Project. I want to plan out a top level view of what we have to do as a team to reach some goal, assign multiple team members to one "task", allocate a set amount of their time and see at what times we might be over or under capacity. The FOSS planing tools I've seen mostly work in "shifts" or let you assign one task to one person. But we're in R&D and if I plan for 40 hours of "conceptual work" over the span of a month and assign Sarah and Steve to this with 20 hours each I don't want to babysit their shifts. They will do the work when it suits them.

The only one I've seen that could do what I need is ProjectLibre but the FOSS desktop version has been abandoned a while ago and is still very buggy.

Sorry for placing this here but maybe someone knows something...

Just shooting rich people into space (and letting them return) for no particular reason is dumb enough. We really don't need you to make it even dumber.

Was looking for this comment. Was not disappointed.

So if I understand correctly Hasbro is, single-handedly, responsible for the whole internet, right?
Man, they really fucked this one up...

"Ceparoo" is indeed a great state!
Also I like that it settled the dumb "Gulf of Mexico" thing. I think we can all be happy with "Martnla".
