Invest in you old age: Superannuation or some other savings device. You need to put on as much as you possibly can as soon as you can but this needn’t mean you plow all your income into it straight away. Transfer or invest as little as $20 per week initially, you’ll never miss it and after a few weeks or months keep increasing the amount till you’ve reached your ceiling. Reinvest your earnings or dividends, compound interest is a beautiful thing.

This is not my beautiful house, this is not my beautiful wife…!

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

Well, it does if our entire justice system is based around the concept of free will.

It wasn’t really a failure of the intelligence community it was a failure of the Bush administration. Bush couldn’t believe his “friends” in Saudi Arabia would do anything to harm his administration, after all his family had had a long and profitable association with them for years.

Plus, at the time the Bush administration was up to its neck in scandals (anyone remember the Enron Scandal?). Bush’s popularity had cratered and it was looking increasingly like he would loose the midterms and Presidential elections.

What’s more likely: a rather straight forward plot by a bunch of fanatical fundamentalist religious nut jobs bent on destroying the “godless American devils” supported by their equally fanatical fundamentalist nation state or an incredibly complicated plot by a third party? See, this is why Occam’s Razor exists.

I love your comment: “The second best time to plant a tree is today”. Not sure if it’s a quote you’ve reused but, from here on in, I’m using it.

I much prefer Lemmy, when RIF shut down I migrated and never looked back. Lemmy isn’t as crowded as Reddit became and reminds me of how Reddit used to look and feel.

I also signed up to Mastodon and between the two (Lemmy and Mastodon) get all the information and entertainment I ever got from Reddit without all the dickheads that now populate Reddit.

Really? I’ve found it to be as easy as a standard LP. 8 Track quadraphonic, now that’s a whole different kettle of fish

Laser discs and quadraphonic LPs.

Laser Disks - they’re so rad man
