This shit aint free

☝️ this is it.

Make sure it’s a Christian bible. All smart people know Jesus was Christian and not one of those other weird religions (like Judaism). /s

Something he could really use: A book full of web links to articles about “how to start your own religion”.

Perhaps I should have just given him a Post-It note that said “Dude, just use ChatGPT”!

Love that site!

I thought it was investing in my future (buying mutual funds).

Last one I did showed up on my account the same day.

Put it in retirement accounts.

NASA has been doing the sterilization I listed above for decades now; it’s not new.

Can you give some examples (preferably with references) of where NASA (or ESA, etc) have avoided areas due to fear of contamination?

That’s why this is done: https://www.nasa.gov/ames/space-biosciences/planetary-protection/

I realize you were probably talking about visiting other worlds in person, but we would probably still have unmanned missions there first.

It’s not a pyramid scheme. It’s compound interest and has been known about since ancient times (and worked since then too).

QR codes are great! They let hackers replace it with their own so they can infect your phone 🫠.

Bonus points if they offer an app to download and really get at stealing your data. /s

You don’t tug on Superman’s cape . . .

I really like Robotek by Hexage. It’s free and you can play offline.

This is my life.

Just saw a friend that is currently at Uni and asked them how they do it now (draw and dimension all at the same time). Small victories.

Removes 4 cm of paper between them; touché.

“well, have you tried like not thinking or learning everything you want to know?”

Speaks volumes.

I’ve been criticized for that, lots of people say “use the mouse, it’s better”. I say “how is it better?”. They say “it just is”.

The truth is that they can’t do the keyboard shortcuts and are jealous.

My voting location has paper ballots counted by scanners (it’s not practical or accurate/reliable to count that number of ballots by human hand).

If there’s a question, just rescan the ballots. Nothing’s perfect, but this (IMHO) is about as good as it gets.

The only change I would make is to have ranked choice voting.

My Drs office wouldn’t accept a request over the phone or email. Had to be fax.

Because, apparently, there is some magic fairy that verifies it is me sending the request from the fax machine on my end (i.e. it’s not possible for someone else to send a request for my medical records pretending to be me). 'cause you know “fax security” wouldn’t allow that. /S
