Hi guys. Um, please don't ever make the "owner" email of your domain an address *on* that domain, because if it ever expires you won't be able to get emails to renew/fix it because it will be expired.

Yes. Look. It's obvious, but clearly it *happens* or I wouldn't be writing this and watching my work email all evening. (I didn't do it. But it Was Done.)

Be safe out there admins 😆

The only sane response to an insane world is to be insane yourself.

Thats life in the second quarter of the 21st century of the common era for you. War, genocide, neo-liberal / late stage capitalism, mass extinction, global heating, climate catastrophes, fascists, bigots... The list goes on and on.

If that doesn't make you depressed and anxious there is something wrong in your head.

Ah, maar daar zit ook een ander probleem. Wij zijn zo'n systeem aan het maken, maar om het zo goed te maken als Bert voorstelt (en ik zeg niet dat hij daar ongelijk in heeft) dat kost tientallen miljoenen (als je het ook nog snel wilt doen).

Die miljoenen krijg je niet zomaar, sterker nog, als je een product hebt (bedacht) waarmee je die wel kunt krijgen is het waarschijnlijk veel makkelijker om naar de USA te gaan om het daar gefinanciert te krijgen. #catch22

With Rebecca Solnit's post on Tesla stock dropping far was a comment. They guy said Musk has 15% of Tesla, 401k institutional investors own lots for people's retirement:
> Things look bad for Milo what with everybody accusing him of treachery and things like that until he opens his books. There’s a reasonable profit for everybody. You see, everybody shares because everybody is a member of Milo’s syndicate. Even the enemy.

@User47 The drug I'm thinking about is expensive and prescribed and has been proven to have long term health benefits for people who take it. A generic is available, but they won't cover that either.

The trouble is, health insurance companies don't want to pay for long-term benefits because they don't see their customers sticking with them.

Of course, if they provided better coverage, we'd be more likely to stick with them.
