It’s a joke.

Yes, my wife can see me on Find My Friends, but that is because there is nowhere I am that I’m uncomfortable with her knowing about, and it’s nice that she can see when I leave the office to know when to put the kettle on. It’s a convenience between us, not a Big Brother spying program.

It’s called marriage. It isn’t so bad once you get used to it.

It feels like you answered your own question—a second server comes with advantages and sounds like it isn’t a significant increase in price.

You can tell that Tim Apple is very impressed.

Did OP edit their post? I don’t see any of that aggressiveness there now, nor is the word stupid in the post.

In fact, I’m baked right now.

From Wikipedia:

“A "dozen" is a unit of measurement. It means twelve (12) items of something. The term goes back to duodecim, which means 12 in Latin. Humans might have started to count on a base 12 because there are approximately 12 cycles of the moon in one cycle of the sun. In other words, a solar year has 12 months. The first to have used the unit were probably the Mesopotamians.

12 dozen (144 items) are a gross. 12 gross (1728 items) are called a great gross. A great hundred is 120 or ten dozen (a dozen for each finger on both hands).

The dozen is convenient because its multipliers and multiples are convenient: 12 = 3 × 2 × 2, and 360 = 30 × 12. The French word douzaine means "about twelve" and is part of a family of words with similar meanings, e.g. vingtaine – "about 20" centaine – "about 100" etc. A baker's dozen, also known as a long dozen, is thirteen.”

So, as you can see, the idea of a dozen seems to be deeply ingrained in our history and psychology to the point that we probably shouldn’t question it too much and leave bakers to ponder the mystery of 12=13.

Just wait until you find out what system dozens comes from.

He’ll never make it in this business.

Why not? We’re freaky.

Im sneaking a peek at my wife’s right now.

I’ve been using Warp recently and really enjoy it.

3000 torrents and counting.

If you never stop seeding, you never have to worry about it.

I believe they call that taxes.

Dank.
