Ceo at my old company made us dress up super professionally, but he frequently would be wearing shorts and a Hawaiian shirt with sandals. We didn't webbed get casual Friday or anything like that

Congrats! You just need to show up. There will be volunteers guiding you along the way so no need to be nervous (i know easier said than done!). Just plan for worst case scenario of having to wait a few hours in line so bring water, weather-appropriate clothes, and something to keep you entertained while you wait (book/ phone/etc). Bring your id and check to make sure you don't need anything else in your state.

Best of luck!

Edit: and not everywhere is bad with lines. Some places are in and out

Only 75 miles? Not even an imperial century.

Edit: sounds like it was done on-foot instead of cycling, but claiming it's the biggest is a good way to get someone to do a cycling route bigger in a few hours.

don't touch it

Don't even look at it on a regular basis. Looking at it makes some people do self-defeating things like breaking your other great points

I sent my mom a possum meme and she's now convinced i have a possum.

I may have encouraged her once i realized she didn't know it was a meme...

That wouldn't be very warrior like, but let's ignore that. If a klingon wanted you dead, then i think something hidden in the pickle jar is the least of your concerns

Let's just remove all video metadata including author. You just get video that is unskippable and you have to watch it (and ads) before getting a new video. Webcam required to track your eyeballs and the video will only play while you are looking at the screen.

They said they are voting for Harris, and are offering feedback that the Harris texts could be done differently to make them more effective. It's not the same as being "swayed"

That is a complex question but my line of thought is this: artists have accepted legal agreements on how to sell/stream their work and how much they get for it. You as a consumer don't need to worry about this. If there is a way to buy/stream the product legally then the artist has approved of getting money that way.

Basically i don't think this should be a point to discourage buying audio and owning it. The alternative is never owning music and tough luck if a song gets pulled because of legal disputes or whatever.

Recipe for a billionaire includes:

  • (optional) being born wealthy
  • Exploitation of others
  • luck

Billionaires like to think they worked hard but in reality they exploited others and were lucky in some form or another. Exploitation comes from paying workers as little as possible and/or having such terrible work conditions to maximize efficiency to the point that who cares if someone dies working. Fighting unions and keeping costs down (including pay) means more profit. It also means you can charge less to force other competitors out of business unless they can do the same amount of exploiting to keep costs down.

Beyond that, there's just general business and economic concepts like operating at scale which luck or generational wealth can help shortcut there.
