He can, but if stocks fall 90%, he can buy 10x as much. If he shorts things on the way down, he can multiply his money first too.

If this is played right, he could be worth tens or hundreds of trillions a decade or 2 from now.

Probably realized he can’t sell a lot of those anymore.

He could sell a bunch of Tesla stock, crash the entire US economy and then buy a whole lot of whatever he wants because everything will be discounted (including Tesla, he could just rebuy his stock for a fraction of the price)

Rich people LOVE economic downturns. Best time to make money is when everything is on sale, just need to buy and wait. Stocks, property, everything.

So technically they were commissioned during the Obama era, Trump 1 threatened to cancel the program if the budget went over 4 billion, then Boeing appeased him.

Also the reason they were commissioned to save money. Aging aircraft are a bitch to operate. That’s why cheap airlines like Ryanair only run new planes.

Also there are already two of them. I suppose one is probably a backup?

Also, fun fact, technically any plane that the US president is currently flying on, is at that moment, Air Force One.

Certainly, but it’s not like that’ll get him in trouble or anything

They also don’t wanna pay money. People who know Cobol want to be paid money in exchange for their services.

Can’t be all that much of it going towards features considering how profitable Valve is.

If neither apply to you, then there’s no reason to ever use Windows.

I’m sure someone somewhere has found software they need that doesn’t work with Wine. Solidworks, a bunch of Adobe shit, etc. Oftentimes the free alternatives just aren’t quite there yet, even though they exist.

KDE has a GUI app called Discover that will do Flatpaks as well as other package management systems. It shows me RPM packages that I normally update with zypper

Oh I’d just throw in a bunch of big freeleech torrents and it’d take me 3 minutes to achieve saturation. The upkeep might be difficult though

What do you mean?

Couldn’t you saturate it instantly? It’s saturated exactly while you’re using that speed and when you stop, it’s not saturated anymore

The only streaming service I pay for anymore is Apple TV+. They have a bunch of great shit, go check out Severance on TV+ or your favourite torrent site for starters. I also really really loved Carl Hiaasen’s Bad Monkey and while I really wanted more, they did the entire book in one season so there’s no “will they cancel it before I see how it ends?” Factor.

Yes - unlike any Linux distros I know of. But that’s fine, we don’t need Linux to be Unix certified for it to be awesome.

[email protected] and find yourself so many projects at home you’ll never find time for anything but computers again :)

You’re certainly better off for it, congratulations!

I unfortunately still get the sugar cravings. Not often, usually it’s when I’m tired. But they exist. If I buy a cold 0.5L bottle of my favorite non-caffeinated sugary soft drink, that’s damn near 50 grams of extra sugar in me, but man does it refresh me on a walk.

There was a time when I did OMAD, which really stabilizes your blood sugar. At that time, I did not experience such cravings. I miss being near immune to sugar cravings lol

MacOS is Unix like, but that’s because the kernel (Darwin) descends from BSD.

You can give it a try now if you’re interested, you should get decent enough gaming performance, though you obviously aren’t going to double your fps or anything.

For browsers, you can use binary packages because compiling either firefox or chrome every time there’s an update would be an absolute pain.

Then if you use a desktop environment, that’s usually the biggest thing when there’s an update.

And to be clear - you recompile the packages that are updated, or for which you’ve changed USE flags (if you add that as a flag in your emerge command). You don’t recompile the entire system every time. Unless you specify that.

I ran it for gaming for 2 years, only stopped because I switched from KDE Plasma to Gnome and broke something, tried to switch back and broke something further. It MIGHT also be that I tried to switch from X to Wayland at the same time instead of doing one thing at a time.

I’m lazy enough and a frequent enough soft drink & beer consumer that by the time I take it in, it’s at least 10€, but can be 20€ or more. I have also gotten over 100€ but that was cheating, it was from previous year’s summer solstice celebrations. And like the commenter above you, it’s the same price for me, 10 cents a bottle or can. Mostly because we apparently live in the same country.

The products containing them definitely taste weirder though.

Pepsi Max is about the only one that I think tastes decent. Fanta zero? Weird. Coca Cola Zero? Weird. Sprite Zero? Does nothing for me. Sugar free red bull? Ew.

Monster’s white Ultra flavour, whatever it’s called, is semi-ok. Watermelon Ultra is OK. But neither is as good as say, Aussie Lemonade, which has sugar in it.

Of course, I’m Estonian, so the baseline here is regular sugar, not HFCS. I love Fanta, but American Fanta was disgusting.

It being a Nolan movie, I kinda wanna see Cillian Murphy in the role. Does he seem like a perfect fit? No, but he’s got at least some range, having played both badass characters (Peaky Blinders) and scaredy cats (Inception). Plus Nolan clearly loves working with him.

Hmm something tells me this might cause unforeseen consequences for aquatic life… But we won’t know until we try!
