I see horrifying dumb shit like this in what sometimes feels like a daily basis.

For him though.... That's like a quarter.

Today, yes, but back then he was just another dot com millionaire. Remember, that footage was before PayPal, so he probably had about 300M, tops. A million was still only a fraction of his wealth, but it was still a noticeable fraction.

No. I interacted with him on two occasions during the PayPal days. They were pitching PayPal as a payment mechanism for a bunch of our verticals. Even back then he was weird, awkward, and cringe. I think there is video of him back then taking possession of a McLaren and you can see how cringe he was.

EDIT: Found it.. On rewatch, it doesn't really show how insufferable he was in person. It's funny to see how x.com gets recycled though.

Can confirm. By this time a few years back I would have about four feet of snow on my lawn. Today I have about three inches.

If they just want to throw money away on ineffective advertising, they can just send it to me. I have a few ideas that are far more effective than Twat.

I have sailed the seven seas since the 1990's and IMHO, if you are in the US, the library system is the best answer for books and audio books.

I would avoid Ubuntu and Fedora because of their corporate shenanigans. I've had a very painless experience with Pop!_OS as my daily driver and there's a version that comes with Nvidia support already baked in. Otherwise, I would recommend Mint D which is the version that ditched Ubuntu for pure Debían (what Ubuntu is a fork of).

I run Pop!_OS on an Early 2015 MBP 13. It's pretty much flawless. The only thing that doesn't work is the webcam, which is a bonus for my ugly mug.

I used my Steam Deck as my main system for a month to see how it would do. It was fine. No issues whatsoever.
