Just keeping you on your toes?

I had the same thought, but occupation on the birth certificate is the "usual" occupation the person held.

Again, you of undue certainty: the government attempted this potentially legal avenue, and it was adjudicated as impermissible. Meaning what they tried didn't work. Why are you acting like no one else here understands what has happened? Probability dictates that you are almost certainly not the smartest person in the room.

You can say this person is an idiot all you want, but the fact of the matter is that if DoD does not want to deal with Anthropic through Palantir, their only legal recourse at this point is to drop Palantir. They shot their shot with this legal gamble to remove Anthropic from the supply chain, and they failed. That's it. Curtains or deal with it.

I've own both, and this one had a nice sticky/tacky sound without a tacky feel. The Model M felt and sounded like loading a releasing a spring!

I saw that another commenter suggested this one may have been a repackaged Model M. If it was, it must have had different switches that I preferred.

Love that.

As an aside, that keyboard in particular had the best click I've ever experienced.

Genuinely curious, not being combative...what very interesting things have happened in the crypto space lately?

That makes total sense to me. I've avoided onions most of my life. More saliently, I agree that it's off-putting to hide the inclusion of artificial sweeteners. Thanks for your response--I appreciate it.

Redundant! Every UPC barcode has a 6 on the beginning, middle, and end. If you've got the mark of the Beast you may as well get Beast Bux.

I've never seen reliable data suggesting that sucralose is harmful. Could be wrong. If you wouldn't mind giving sources, that would be helpful. Or is it just a personal sensitivity? Don't mean to pry. I'm just curious about the issue.

One of the Gnossiennes was in Spider Forest as well -- great Korean psychological horror.

I think the other commenter is right...you're thinking of DVD-R vs DVD+R, possibly even DVD-RW and DVD+RW.

Based on the specs listed, OP was in college just before me or may have overlapped. The big gold CD-R stacks (you could bur in jewel cases, on spindles, or just gross stacks which were nice and cheap) were a huge thing with my group (who encoded to FLAC & MP3 -V0 and burned audio CDs relentlessly. We felt we were archiving our liberal arts college music library and radio library for the future! Who knows. Some of that "future" is still backed up and on hard disks, and I should migrate them to SSD or tape just on principle.

At that point CD-R were cheaper than CD-RWs, and because most archiving/distributing didn't require rewriting (not return-on-investment wise anyway), we just shared programs on CD-R as well. In some ways it was a beautiful technology! Particularly fidelity to a spec everyone tried to bend and break for a profit angle, when honestly, there was no point for many of us using CD-R

Is that really what "wow" means here? I took it more as "wow, I've been around forever / I must be old now" or something similarly tame.

Sorry, yes. I was thinking net worth > 0.

Are you in the black as a household overall?

We aren't yet. Our projection is that we will be in 5-7 years. I'm turning forty soon.

Just to give you an anchor point.
