I love Greg Bear’s take in the War Dogs trilogy.

They show up but slowly introduce themselves, give us trinkets, coerce & exploit us , then after much happenings, leave and the world goes on like nothing ever happened.

That’s fine as well, because we’d have to use alternatives…you know…like before every-fucking-thing was made of plastic

Betcha 50€ Putin travels to the USA at some point in the future & is not arrested…just because he can.

…real fucking shame

The best technology ever stolen. That’s why they named their company Bejioing.

Good. Less cars the better.

My kitchen must have is an analog clock.

Years of training and using it daily, never wore a watch and don’t give a shit what time it is when I am out of the kitchen.

And the world reacts exactly like Americans when there is a school shooting.

Thoughts, prayers, some aid, pearl clutching & zero actions.

200 so far. 800+ unaccounted for.

Good thing the government they voted in we’re conservative climate deniers.

TBH you need a Spanish Gestor (accountant/attorney) on retainer to handle this for you. The .57¢ will cost you 50€ to process though…but that is also tax deductible.

Oh, and make sure It’s a reputable one…so many stories of them taking the money for years of foreigners and not paying a cent and skipping out of town. We got lucky and after asking our neighbors, ours is the son of a judge and the family has been part of the community for generations.

Yes, for spaghetti.

And yes it’s for people who know they are ‘making a funny’, it doesn’t bother me for kids or others.

You’re 65 Brad, use big boy words.

Mostly anecdotal from comments and whatnot, but here is a PM article

AFAIK there are long term science programs that are using archaic computer systems so probably yes.
