Thompson asserted that the unknown 50% of Maya writing would probably never be translated, and most likely consisted of “esoteric time worship”–an activity which, apropos of nothing, I may have once undertaken following the ingestion of eight ounces of Robitussin.

Ok this is what I landed on. Printing it for now.

wait doug collins was a senator? i thought he was a rep

he was a rep, it’s an ERROR card

he ran for senate against loeffler and lost

he’s doing nothing atm

probably one of those collections where books/cards has one thing valuable but definitely not worth the time to look for it.

humanity probably should start working on this in case of an asteroid

get elon on it

for now at least in practicality, LOL

we got 5 billion years to think about it before the sun engulfs us tho

I was just watching TDS today and there was a bit on how Bezos (~10 yrs ago) not only paid no income tax but also claimed a 4K child credit. His accountant is not fucking around. He ain’t leaving shit on the table.

some dude in milwaukee has done this since 1978 with welcome to cleveland

edit–which is mentioned in that article

Interesting. Pretty much all I know about Mayan writing is due to the about 30 seconds Feynman spends talking about it in this video (time stamp at 32:15, I hope). He was able to decipher a little of their writing, I believe. It’s cool that he’d care that much.

I’ve linked this video a few times. Every time I feel like I have to watch the whole thing. He was a hell of a showman.

It’s basically impossible for the human brain to comprehend how rich Jeff Bezos is. Someone with $1 billion can spend more than $50,000 per day for 50 years and not run out of money. If invested in anything at all, that person can spend that much while getting richer at the same time.

He has $200 billion.

Yeah we’re not good at visualising large numbers and a billion is just a word.

200 billion = 200,000 million = 200,000,000,000.

I remember this from before as a really good way of getting the point across

…and this way when he was only worth $122bn - guy needs to get to costco for another bag of rice.

I like that if you were to earn $180,000 every day since the birth of Jesus you wouldn’t even have $150B today.

If you earned $1,000/day since Jesus birth you would have less than $750M! You wouldn’t even be a billionaire.

Back story on the guy

His Wikipedia page says that he dated Michelle Williams, when you’ve got that much game it probably goes to your head.

Speeding ticket question: the internet tells me that the typical lawyer fee for speeding ticket representation is $100-200. Does this sound about right to you all? I’ve got a mandatory court appearance in another state and am hoping to find an attorney to appear on my behalf, just want to know what to expect / if they try to screw me.

Will probably be some variation, is it virginia? They suck for speeding tickets.
