You can’t transfer your steam account, eg when you die. Against terms of service.

Can’t give them your steam account.

Sure, it’ll dock. They aren’t going to make waves.

It’s just going to be 1080p and slightly bigger screen.

You can sell it or give it to your kids?

Do the things you don’t want to do.

You’ll do the things you want to do, meaning the things you don’t want to do are the important ones.

Don’t measure, cut yourself.

Shareholders want their shares to increase in value, because that’s how you earn wealth, your retirement fund grows, etc. That means the company needs to earn more profit (more precisely, profit per share). To do that you typically grow, but you can also do it by buying back stock (that increases profit per share), or by “increasing efficiency” which is usually a dead end.

Sigh. Decimals contribute to length. Length.

Sigh. I didn’t say calculators are a different way of thinking. I said common core is a different way of thinking, compared to long hand calculations.

You’re missing everything I say and it’s like trying to communicate to a brick wall. Ciao.

Easy long numbers yes, complicated long numbers I’m gonna say no. I’m not even saying large numbers, I’m saying long numbers which can include decimal points. And the chance of mistakes goes way up. There’s no point of doing it mentally or by hand when calculators are ubiquitous. I think this is why they switched to different ways of thinking about math, rather than hard core hand calculations that no one is going to do anyway.

Well it’s good for some shorthand but anything complicated you need either a calculator or do it long hand. With calculators everywhere they may have just switched to “hey fun mental ways to think about it because no one does long hand anyway”.

Same, common core is what I came up with to do mental math.

First story is not exclusive to private equity. Sales and even business owners have no idea how long things take. We once had a project that would take about a year, sales signed the contract to be done in like 1 month. The saving grace was the client delayed their start date, giving us the time we needed. Another one: guy buys an old building with plans to tear it down and build a new one. Tells the news “we’ll break ground next month”. Two years later they break ground.

Wow did not see this coming. Saudi Arabia is desperate to diversify so from that angle it makes sense. Kushner wants in lol. That’s a big buyout though. Well, things are going to get weird.

From the articles linked elsewhere this is between PIF (Saudi Arabia), Silver lake (American), and affinity partners (Jared kushner)

From wiki about affinity partners:

Kushner’s firm received commitments of more than $3 billion by the end of 2021 to invest in American and Israeli companies that are expanding in India, Africa, the Middle East and other parts of Asia. The largest investor by some margin is the Saudi government’s sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund, which has allocated $2bn of its nearly with Kushner stating that he hopes to open an “investment corridor between Saudi Arabia and Israel”,[2][3] seen internationally as a “sign of warming ties between two historic rivals”.[4] Officials who headed the Public Investment Fund objected to investing in Kushner’s firm, but Saudi ruler Mohammed bin Salman overruled those officials.[5]

Nah the Saudis are desperate to diversify. And they have the money to do it. I know it’s leveraged but they’ll see it through.

Certainly no caffeine after noon.

The peak of our civilization

*Most of it actually looks better, not that I’ve gamed much recently. It’s that first swipe on the character that looks comical. The actual swipes on the gameplay look much better.

6 finger discount.

Is this because valley girl raises the tone at the end the sentence?
