Plot twist: the toddler has a multi-year marketing push worth tens if not hundreds of millions, which convinced a lot of people who don’t know the first thing about chess that it really is very impressive, and all those chess-types are just jealous.

Agreed.

Huh, I didn’t know people anyone even painted with baby oil.

I cannot confirm nor deny this, but the fact remains that Deloreans still exist today. And I do not recall ever hearing any stories about rust. Which, given its infamy, one would think would have been part of the lore by now if it was a thing.

Not sure if I’m being whooshed here… but Reagan’s VP went on to become president, whose son also became president after his other son, who was governor of a state, threw a wrench in that state’s election machine to muddy the waters, leading to contested recounts, interrupted by a “mob,” leading to the Supreme Court saying it’s too dangerous to continue, and awarding said state’s electoral votes to Reagan’s VP’s son, effectively handing him the presidency. The American people got two wars out of the deal and a veritable Who’s Who list of Bush family associates whose names keep popping up suspiciously even to the present day.

Unless you’re saying that Vance is just as knee-deep in the backstage corruption, in which case I agree, he’s a dangerous slimeball.

Fascism 101.

This is something that even larger corps struggle with. My old company would buy some other company, lay off a bunch of people, others would quit, and then it was shocked Pikachu faces all around when That One Thing stopped working in an office they turned into a ghost town and, well, no, nobody was going to be there until Monday morning to power cycle etc. True lights out/OOB reachability is WORK. And there’s always going to be a SPOF somewhere that requires hands on-site.

Do what you can, when you can. And thank you for all that y’all have done so far.

I don’t even know how many MP3s you can store with 400 qubits.

That’s ridiculous. Nobody knows how long a gallon is.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Thanks for the heads up, try not to stress too much.
