I didn’t even realize the 60Hz option existed. I’ve trimmed all functions on the phone, like background refresh, to lower battery usage, but the refresh rate is a new one. TYM.

Then the gestapo would arrest me for “funding terrorism” while themselves funneling millions to both Russia and Ukraine.

After investigation it was discovered the AI was designed to extract maximum profit fo the owners and hide business failings until it collapsed, leaving investors and creditors holding the debt.

The courts fined the owners $50 each.

Repeat.

Just like all the crypto, AI, and app scams these days.

Make big promises to inverstors, make a memecoin, steal all the data, pump and dump with the money and the courts don‘t do shit. Seems to be the Zoomer business model. Well, Trump‘s MAGA losers too.

Yes, I understand that and stated that the amount could be allowed to continue to grow as one of the choices for the investment. There was no need for me to get into the details and make it a financial lesson in respons to a hypothetical fantasy amount of money.

10 mil. Enough to absorb all but the worst shocks to the stock market, continue to grow if desired, or pull $500,000/yr interest at a conservative 5% growth. $500,000 year means you could afford the Lamborghini, but you still gotta make payments.

My quote wasn’t intended to be a solution for people with genuine problems. It can be a reminder to take a step back if one can.

Yeah, trauma or other defensive behavior can be like wagon ruts. That’s the well-worn path the brain defaults to and it can be really hard to lift that heavy wagonload of trauma out of that deep rut. Creating other roads and lightening the load is a job for therapy.

Had to input what the nanny told her about her kid.

“Just because you got burned doesn’t mean you get to go around setting everyone else on fire.”

A quote I remember often.

Wait until they make a subscription for that too.

‘cause they’ve enshittified.

We went from cable cutting to piracy to streaming services that were relatively inexpensive and ad-free back to services that emulated cable - expensive and full of ads, so guess what’s next?

Law & order = whatever orders they make up are the law of the moment.

Need to give Zelenskyy a few more drones to take out Russian datacenter troll farms.

If you’re the one supporting ripping up the forest of Ents to make room for a datacenter…yes, you lose your nerd card. You are now Saruman, corrupted to the will of evil to further one’s own power.

Do they still qualify as nerds if they’re the antithesis to the morals in the story they nerdrd over?

Great name for an anti-gas pill. Fart tomorrow, not today.

Banks preparing for the catastrophe they gladly helped fund.

Yeah. Good point. They tried rewriting them to fit their narrative, though.
