So to travel into the future and be in the "same place" relative to your planet you'd need to solve the n-body problem for at least your local system to a suitable length of time. A slight error might mean you appear inside the planet or in outer space.

Or maybe I don't understand this stuff. :-)

How is natural gas made? How is natural gas more natural than natural element?

I switched to Bookwyrm. It's been fine, but I do miss the social aspect of having my existing friends on there. Not enough to try to convince like 10 people to migrate their entire accounts, especially since imports from Goodreads are currently broken.

Oh yeah? Watch us.

I believe it can fly. I believe it can touch the sky.

... we wore an onion on our hips, as was the fashion at the time...

Can't they just stick to normal browser things like gaming integrations?

At least you sort of tried.

Here's a video of it. I couldn't see anything on the linked website.

I assume they mean that making a regular phone call is not an option, and FB Messenger is better than SMS. Just speculation, though.

Get Dan back in another massive water balloon, but this time at the Colorado School of Mines or whatever it's called.

I found Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey to be a little too optimistic to be realistic in the end. I don't mean that in a bad way, as I thoroughly enjoyed the story, including the ending. I'm just too much of a pessimist. :-)

Also a lot of video game footage from livestreams, etc.

I doubt they delete anything. Just add a flag to the datastore so users don't see it, but they can still sell it or train AI on it or whatever.

Thanks for rating this human. I have updated this human's score on a piece of paper next to my keyboard.

I moved all of my domains to Porkbun when Google Domains started to close down or become SquareSpace or whatever they were doing.

No complaints so far.

When I've worked at startups I've received stock options. Pardon my amateur explanation, but they're basically the option of purchasing some amount of the company at a specific price (strike price) by a certain date (if the company is public).

If you believe the company will do well, or you can wait long enough before being forced to buy or forfeit them, then you can buy at that strike price. If the stock value is higher than your strike price when you sell, then you have made money that you can now be taxed on. If you've bought the options and the value is lower than your strike price, then you've got a loss if you sell. You can also hold the shares until they go up, or ride it all the way down to $0.

I've heard about companies that will buy your options as a way of purchasing equity in private companies, but I have no experience with them.

That's the best explanation I can give. I'm no expert, so please fact check me if you're in a position where this is relevant.

I'm so close to wasting half of my evening looking up the population size of all zoomers, or at least in the US, and then seeing if OF released user numbers because I'm fairly confident it's not even remotely possible that 25% of them are content creators on there.

I'm resisting the urge.
