Rewatched the Golden Years of the Simpsons recently and I think it's crazy that season 2 isn't included in that era. Season 2 Simpsons is fantastic.

This is intreresting. What is the connection between GS and BRICs? How does it help them sell equities?

Maybe they're candy eggs?

I should really cron my Borg script rather than waiting for a sinking anxiety to set it and doing backups at random intetvals

I just about to write this. If we could have a rule on this it'd be great. Really don't like these depressing comics.

I dont understand the downvotes on some of these anti-signal arguments. There are a number of very valid arguments against Signal if privacy is your chief concern: they have centralised servers, they've been extremely lax with adding their production updates to their publicly available source code on github, they receive funding from RFA.

You should tell your best friend about how you have been feeling if you havent. I know it's hard but I'm sure they would want to help and listen.

Honestly, I think this kinds works. Like Lignux neatly integrates GNU without awkwardly expanding it and could be pronounced the same way already is (unless you want to be a psychopath and go around saying 'Lig-Nucks').

This reads like an absurd Kafkan affair. Here's a quote from the article:

Over those same years, however, Gambaryan has taken an even more unlikely path: In 2021, he left the IRS to take a job as the head of investigations at Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange—a move seen widely as driven by Binance’s belated attempt to clean up its own widespread use for money laundering, which led the company to pay a $4.3 billion criminal fine to the US government last year. When Nigeria followed that fine by accusing Binance of similar criminal misconduct and devaluing the country's national currency, it was Gambaryan who was invited to Abuja to negotiate with the Nigerian government earlier this year. Instead, the Nigerian government detained Gambaryan, took his passport, and has now jailed him for over six months, charging him with money laundering and tax evasion as a proxy for his employer.

This reads like a total farce. What could possibly be the end goal for the Nigerian government here? Do they just want someone in handcuffs for the press ops to cover up their own incompetence?

Yeah, I would say that this applies in general. That hat that we associate with a particular kind of socially maladjusted individual is not the faithful fedora but its contemptable cousin: the thrilby.

Revanced continues to work fine for me.
