I’d recommend just making a new Microsoft account for them, then leaving the username/password with the staff, ideally someone in their IT crew.

I’m afraid not, I’ve never been to France much less be familiar enough to claim to be one of them.

Reminds me of another: societies grow great when old men plant seeds for trees whose shade they know they’ll never enjoy.

This comment actually made that choice click in my head, I’d never asked why that was before and kinda assumed it was to help protect the internals of a machine you couldn’t fix from the environment but really it’s more likely to be so you always have some bandages on hand (however sanitary)

Stroking my beard.

What kind of gestures mean the most to you? (I.e. 5 love languages)

“Same time next week?”

Road to El Dorado, Emperors New Groove, Megamind. Those are pretty damn reliable.

Freeman’s Mind is a great one I can recommend

It just reminded me how long it had been since I’d launched it so I just uninstalled it lmao

It’s definitely hard to break into it, it’s a specialty that requires experience, and no one seems willing to train. Tons of money around if you have 10-15 years under your belt, but you’ll starve before you find a junior position

Pay it forward friend :)

Hey, I don’t know you personally but I’m glad you’re here to write this. The world is better with you in it :)

Came here to say this, the solar sails are beautiful in action. Other movies that have a moment with solar: WALL-E, Star Wars Episode 2 (solar sails appear again)

A proud Finnish heritage lives on 🫡

Good news for the sequel, they still have MJ stealth sections but they aren’t instant fail if you’re spotted

It’s tough, but it’s worth the struggle! You got this :)

It took me until I was 24 to go back, but I just graduated college at 27. Despite being a 50s-60s student in high school, I got multiple honor roll placements.

Now just to find a job 😅

Knowing that ultimately I’ll never be punished for my choices beyond the consequences I face in my lifetime makes my choices to be kind and put in extra effort to increase the good in the world mean a lot more to me. I laugh in the face of the absurd and choose to derive meaning from not letting it stop me from doing what I can.

The tide will destroy my sandcastle and it’ll be forgotten, but it can’t take that I did it anyways.

I don’t have much to offer in terms of answers but I enjoyed your musings OP, I hope whatever choices you make are fulfilling to you.

Personally all I have to add is that we’re all just monkeys chilling on a rock whizzing through space until we suddenly aren’t. If it makes you happy and it doesn’t hurt anyone I don’t see the harm. Use the time the way you want, may you die free of regrets.
