As others have pointed out - costs a few bucks annually,and requires beneficial ownership report (free IIRC).
Otherwise, it’s a tried and true tactic to pass businesses down through generations. An LLC vs. a corp vs a trust is a convo to have w/ lawyer barred in your state but the general premise is vaguely sane.
This is fucking horrifying.
Or, try limiting one's actions such that they match the average American's level of criminality, and just don't be a fascist dictator asshole aiming to deport the people who produce food and... Yeah.
Still doesn’t fix the ill will from when they abruptly killed Apollo, in a stupid way that screwed both users and an indie dev who actually cared and had dedicated significant effort to the platform.
Also, I absolutely cannot wait for when Reddit itself becomes meme stocked. Somehow, both GameStop and AMC are still alive, but the crazies are back, and Reddit seems like an excellent candidate.
That source is garbage.
Seems to be based on what amounts to a single “does not currently appear that the procedure itself killed him” statement from MGH, which is generally respected.
I will wait for the actual journal article that (I sincerely hope) is yet to come.
Five years, and an additional two months following consent from a highly experimental and unique procedure that he appears to have given informed consent for because he would otherwise have died sooner beats the hell out of five years without the two months.
I could make a hell of a lot of amends in sixty days, knowing it was all I had, that I’ve had trouble making in four plus decades…. Which would make the end exponentially more peaceful and pleasant.
Anything that gives me that much time is a net positive. Not going to bother with some of the usual surgical recovery stuff if I am fully informed at that point but… Don’t want to die wishing I had had time to make that one phone call or txt that I didn’t quite get to make because we don’t get to choose the moment.
Ten yrs from now hewill be a hero for undergoing the procedure that leads to real progress.
Fuck if I know the answer to this, but someone I know well and respect works one of these shifts, and I don’t get it.
4 on 3 off and swap the next week, I get.
But it’s like these were designed to fuck up the workers’ health and lives. Oh, wait, they probably were.
Love the way GCS shimmers.
A CCR quote, and a few words of a certain classic twenty-five minute Arlo Guthrie song.
This isn't "proper" alt text, but the quotes at the bottom got a bit illegible as I ran out room, so...

Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrows... - CCR [Above is in my atrocious cursive, just to see if I can even still write a simple sentence in it]
All those people, all those lives, where are they now? With loves, and hates, and passions just like mine, they were born and then they lived and then they died And then ~~they~~ I also ran out of room on the page, it continues "Seems so unfair, I want to cry." (The Smiths)
That's it for today, I suspect I'm a little behind on reading comments, hopefully will have some time today to remedy that.
I'm in an oddball mood this morning, so the quote is from Simon and Garfunkel's "America". The original is "Kathy," the spelling liberty just fit my mood. Same for the mixed styles and colors in the text.
Clairefontaine Triomphe 90gsm lined stationery, which also happens to be stationary within a generic six-ring binder from Amazon that I stripped the cover off, and rigged to a much more solid piece of cardboard cut down to A5-ish.
Slides really nicely that way right into a Travelers Notebook, the original cover was clear flexy plastic and kinda worthless as an insert.
Quickie ink samples are on Midori in A6, weight unknown. It plays pretty well with a lot of things, I thought I'd dig the color, but... Not so much.
Keeb in the background is generic Chinese 80-key from Amazon, to replace the one that was on sale because it was UK layout and my dumb ass didn't notice. Juuuuuuust different enough to be infuriating when I'm trying to work...
Gotta say, y'all, I enjoy this hobby on a relatively solitary basis, but... I'm having a friggin' blast doing these - not just because I'm rediscovering stuff I adore that's been buried too long in my ink drawer, but the sharing as well.
PS my penmanship is almost as potato as my photography skills. But I'm kinda stuck with both skills sucking, at this age. Meh, I still have fun.
As ever, y'all, forgive the potato-quality image.
Today's contestants...
The shimmer in GCS doesn't photograph as well as I'd like, but there is some serious depth to that ink as with most FWP products.
Also, confession time... But just between the lot of us, of course... I may be a 45 year old man, but dammit, Hana-Ikada is one of my all time favorite colors. Can't even tell you why, but it brings a smile to my face to use, and it's just SO well behaved and clean to write with...
Second and third faves, while I'm confessing such things, are FWP Pink Sugar Beach and Diamine Pink Ice. Slightly less well behaved, but only just, and who doesn't love pink sparkly... Um... Yeah I'm not helping my case here lol!
Since my handwriting is a dog’s breakfast…
“Today’s fun
Going out for a bit so keeping it light. Just my much adored Fuyu-Gaki (you’ve seen that EF nib) and “mooring on the quinuai river,” from a Chinese company whose name I can’t recall, in a preppy 05M. Don’t know if the shimmer will photograph well.”
Still up for sample trades, can never have too many inks!
Maybe - just maybe - I'm a bit early but there's a chance my morning will be a lil nuts so might as well set things out and post ahead of time.
Also, feedback welcome - don't want to spam the sub, do want to add some useful content even if it's just a post history with a bunch of ink samples in it so some lunatic (like me) can agonize over the perfect orange between FG and Pumpkin (Protip, Iroshizuku every. single. time. It just writes better, across more pens, IMHO. It's also a slightly more pricey addiction than Diamine, so...)
Today's fun includes:
Fuyu-Gaki in Safari EF
Midway the Magnificent in a Perkeo M
Pumpkin in another of the ever-present Perkeo M
Amo-Iro in Sport EF
Pardon my handwriting, and weird datetime formatting. Blame my journaling habit for the latter, as it makes finding things I know I 100% wrote down rather easier. The former is all me.
Midori A6 for the scribbles, Clairefontaine in the background.
Being the change I want to see (more traffic and more interesting pens here)...
My primary pens for today are a Safari F inked with Tsutsuji, and a Kaweco Lilliput in brass, with the Kaweco Blue cartridge it came with (also F). I'll refill it with something more interesting when the time comes, just haven't decided what.
On an average day, I might rotate through two pens; or everything I have inked. Just depends on my mood.
Edit: That's Midori A6 they're sitting on / scribbled on, and Clairefontaine A5 in the background.
If the clock is off (bad CMOS battery, as others have noted); and there is a password "max age" setting that's intended to be far, far, far in the future...
Well, your clock being off by a few hundred years might well trigger the (intended never) expiration setting.
Malware is a possibility, but I lean towards the date being the cause rather than an effect.
How about a headline that’s not pure clickbait.
I understood it as “pre-prepared poop Pringles”
When Borat was fresh, I was in a new hire class for a major telecom you’ve heard of if you’re in the US.
Somehow, the chatter came around to Borat, and someone challenged me on the existence of Kazakhstan.
I’m not always great with people , so I did a double take - they were serious. I shipped them a GMaps link via chat…
…and they proceeded to argue with me that said country couldn’t possibly actually exist.
Once in a while, I wonder where that person ended up - no Ill will towards the misinformed, but I’m certainly curious.
Hell, no. I was hired remote, the position was approved as remote, and remote is where I'm going to stay.
If I go job hunting, that's my #1 criteria. I took less money because remote, and because health insurance. I stand by that decision today, and would do the same again.
Seems like it would be a nightmare to purify. Perhaps useful for agricultural applications, but for drinking and household use…. Most water supplies don’t have e.g., human bodies floating in them.
Not a scientist, happy to be proven wrong here, but that’s my gut.
