The software developer that wrote this writes better code than me and it is just coding at random. Not even a build script or unit tests. https://x.com/ortegaalfredo/status/1233360209181061120

IDEA: Send party invitations to everyone for a coronavirus themed party. Then cancel it to be responsible.

If you find you have the US CDC as your public health authority run by administration lackeys, prepare by following these steps:
- update your will
- make sure your beneficiaries know where your life insurance policies are
- make sure someone has your passwords
The odds of dying in a good year for a 46 year old male are 0.34% per year -- normally we cope by just denying our mortality & don't even buy life insurance or write a will (even my Dad does that!).

"Meanwhile, Tucker uses the CDC to spread the disease further, disguising the spores as flu vaccine."

Lost $20,000 at the stock markets today (and it isn't closed yet!). If anyone finds it, please return & drop off at my door, no questions asked.
What are we using to edit xlsx files? OpenOffice doesn't support xlsx, only xls. You are sending me $140 to buy Excel is also an acceptable answer.
The answer is LibreOffice -- I didn't know that LibreOffice and OpenOffice are different products & that LibreOffice is much newer than OpenOffice's most recent version.

Finally, a day when the stock Chartists can look at price movements and do just as well as those trading on Fundamentals. I think this pattern is called the "Falling-Falling-We're-So-F-d" https://twitter.com/Wintermute21/status/1237079035278233600
