Trump is easy to understand:

Trump opens mouth -> Trump lies.

A bank tried to sell me a pension fund contract. Luckily, I know my math and found out that it was so bad that I’d call it a scam.

If he actually was an “Upstanding Businessman”, they actually might. Need more reasons why they don’t?

Well, I wonder how much they report on Trump being unable to get that bond until Monday…

The Mitochondrial Eve.

Very nice! Looks like there is still some judgement left in the system.

When will he learn that this is not one of his crooked deals, but a “pay up or shut up” situation? I hope he’ll have to sell his real estate pennies to the dollar.

What will happen if everything is sold and he is still in debts?

You misunderstood him. With “Whales” he did not mean Cetaceae, he meant fat donors.

The louder he rants, the more likely he’ll end up with a stroke. Not the worst outcome, don’t you agree?

Let him do that! It would both ruin is self-imposed image of a “business genius”, and would lead to a surprised pikatchu face when he notices that his fines will not go away just because of the bankruptcy!

Trump was never “not for sale”. He sold a list of American agents to Putin. What worse could he get?

EDIT: I agree, he could still get a lot worse.

I had a number of occasions where Windows on my work PC f-ed up. None of the times, the windows “troubleshooting” wizard was anything but a waste of time before calling IT or digging into the problem myself.

Indeed I did. Not completly, as it started to dismantle itself (one leg was broken at the hips, and the arms were not much better), but of course I placed it into the recycling bin last, just before the pickup.

A life-sized cardboard skeleton. I bought it as a kind of “paper model kit” with a lot of little plastic and metal clips included, and it used some clever tricks to get all those bones into their proper shape. Intended as a training / learning aid for medical students, it was labeled with all the latin names of everything.

It experienced several outings and trips in it’s “lifetime”, always riding shotgun and waving to the people I overtook. It attended a math and a computer sciene lecture in university (I doubt it understood a single thing from it), enjoyed a day at the “beach” (properly attired with a speedo), and a number of Halloween acts.

It lived in my room for a good decade, moved into the study in my house later, but started falling apart and requiring repairs so it was retired to the paper recycling bin one day.

I actually never picked sides in that conflict. Both sides are nuts, the Hamas are terrorists, the IDF commits war crimes, they are both evil.

I propose putting a wall around the whole area and wait for the noise to stop, either by them getting their acts together, or by having killed each other.

If he gave it all back, why is he still a billionaire?

I’m boykotting Canon and Birkenstock. The first for being total idiots, spurting “open source is theft of intellectual property!”, the second because I know the owner family (the son was in my class) and they are assholes that would make Trump proud.

No, you bought magazines back then which had pages and pages of printed source that you typed in. And hoped that you didn’t make mistakes. That’s actually why I learned debugging before I learned to code ;)

And this also was the way I earned the money for my second computer - I wrote about 50 games on my own for my first one, some of which I sold to such magazines by saving them on casette tapes with a modified casette recorder. I wrote so many games, they published them under aliases…

It was called “Water Carrier”. It was a simple labyrinth game that - because I had no way of saving it to a tape, disk, or similar - I had to type in line by line whenever I wanted to play it.

Yes, I’m a bit longer in the business than most of you.

The EU would tackle this by telling those aircraft owners to switch to unleaded fuel somehow, e.g. by fixing or replacing the engine, or put it out of business.
