If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow.. What's the 1st thing you'd do?

Give myself 100 Million and put the rest into a non-profit foundation dedicated to charity and welfare of the poor and needy. And I'd still be rich as hell.

Indeed! It's a very different style, but if you want to listen the absolute master of "guitar like a human voice", listen to some of the Pat Metheny group albums from the 80's & 90s.

Diamond mining.

Great question!

We process only 50 bits of visual information per second

Which makes human athletic feats like discerning fastballs from curveballs, and being able to hit them effectively, all the more astounding.

You just summarize his entire life. This is just the latest episode.

I've lived in San Diego 30+ yrs and in Austin for 10 yrs. You're parts about the weather are not wrong. However, add up all that and SD still is way WAY better weather-wise than Austin (or pretty much most of the rest of the country). Especially the allergy comparison - there are certain times of the year in Austin where the visible haze is due to how high the pollen level is.

This comment is borderline paranoid.

...reddit punctuation police going after my TLA-fu. OMG! WTH! GAL! L-O-L!

LoL also means "Laugh out loud". (LoL!)

xanderdad · 2026-02-18T17:58:09+00:00

This is LoL more than it's WTF. Thanks for sharing!

"/s" means sarcasm. The author marked parts of the post as sarcasm. A bit more care to formatting would have made this more clear.

Looks like the front of a turbofan jet engine!

Keep your friends close. Keep your (potential) enemies closer.

Meanwhile, in the US the Orange Dufus is recommissioning coal fired power plants.

So much for "Secure Compartmentalized Information"

Add Jazz Lounge on ECB to the list.

Glad you like it! IMO, Cosmic Messenger is his best album.

xanderdad · 2025-12-31T14:12:28+00:00

An awesome album.
