They were thinking of making a Minority Report adaptation (with Arnold, not Cruise) as the sequel to Total Recall, with the mutant Martians as the precogs. Could have been a fun one!

How do you make a small fortune?

Start with a large fortune and buy a boat.

No, but I think it's good when someone with credibility among certain people reiterate something, even if it adds nothing of value to you and me.

Democratic and left-of-center politicians (or "liberal elite economists") can say this until they're blue in the face but Trumpers will dismiss it as I dunno, woke butthurtism or something. But when someone like Buffet says it, at least they (maybe) have to think a little bit before coming up with some mental gymnastics to dismiss him. And maybe along the way they'll question, if only a little bit, the sanity of Trump's policies.

We had kids


we wanted to make friends in our 30s, so we just made the friends. Problem solved.

(In all seriousness, your friend


or at least, acquaintance


group explodes when you have daycare/kid activities.)

Newer macOS is not Unix certified.

It's UNIX 03 compliant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification

One or two Linux distros were (are?) UNIX certified, though.

There's a bulk food store near me and it allows BYO containers (or you can use one of their compostable bags). It's great! A little bit more work (you need to tare your/container write down the empty weight), but you get your goods in the container of your choice.
