Fuck. I shouldn't have gotten pancakes this morning. They didn't go down well and now I've got a team building lunch at an all you can eat place that I really love. But damn I can barely think of food right now.
There was an eccentric millionaire (read: crazy man who's rich enough to avoid being called crazy) that set up a bunch of Methuselah trusts. They wouldn't expire for a thousand years, they'd just sit back and get that sweet sweet compound interest. People were worried that the trusts would consume the economy, though, so it was eventually ruled that they'd pay out the interest annually instead of accumulating it.

y'all fucks can go without protection because y'all play it hella safe
I know I'm a total liberal because the coolest thing to me about being fantastically wealthy would be the ability to be all Getty about it.
Like 50 years after I died, smart people in a cold boardroom would be debating whether an abstract painting was hard-edged and geometric enough to be added to the Desc Fund Collection and hang in the giant glass cube of a building I had constructed.
The idea of my fussy little art whims determining where millions of dollars could be spent long after i'm gone would be the best.
there is no fund you could set up that would be cooler than the macarthur fellowship, I am sorry
every year when they are announced it just reminds me what a fucking awesome idea it is
Disagree, If I set up a fund that did p much the exact same thing, but only gave the money to mad scientists and mech engineers, that'd be much cooler.

more like the investor who took funds from the trusts realized he'd agreed to consume the economy on the trust's behalf
investment isn't magic, someone actually has to do the securities picking...

So apparently asking a professor to copy/paste the same letter of rec for multiple grad programs/scholarships is A Thing, but what exactly are the bounds of reason? I'm signing up for eight different things for next year (four grad school programs and four scholarships/fellowships) and they all require like three letters each.

My parents are retired. This weekend they flew cross country to go to the wedding of some lady that used to work for my dad. Found a good deal the day before they left, and were like "Fuck it, we're half way to hawaii, wanna check it out?"
I wanna be rich enough to make those sort of calls before I hit 60.
I envy the woman my Dad is working for at the moment, as she could casually drop an extra £20k on a guy to help renovate her Alpine Chateau because she worked with him before.
Said guy rendered the house in danger of collapse, which is why my Dad is currently working there.

I am a planeswalker. I stride the borders between worlds and gaze into each. Though I do not touch these worlds they please me with their fine displays.

Japan made the actual Super Mario Bros 2, and it was pants on head stupid hard.
Western publishers went "no way, kids will return this the day after". So Nintendo took another game, slapped Mario/Luigi etc sprites on the main characters, and that's the Super Mario Bros 2 we all know.
The other game was re-released as "The Lost Levels" on that SNES Super Mario collection cart.
The thing is, that other game was authentically better than the "real" Mario 2

Thanks to the benefits of revisionist history, it's a well known fact now that those rooms totes existed.
Just...forget it
