But it literally says: "Sold for: US $12.00"?

That brand name was long taken in the space context.

Where do you think the money that doesn't go to salaries go? What an odd question.

For what exactly?

"Apart from dating, there is no better education in human behaviour"

My office experiences have been vastly different, but I kind of agree with the basic idea.

a) eh, that's not a pleasant conversation, b) Yeah don't listen to sossepropaganda (that's a technical term).

I responded to an insult. And I was being factual. Please reflect on your own behavior.

And no, no there is no BBC-like distinction here. Ørsted is company run by the Danish government, period. The link above should be proof enough to any thinking person.

> Ørsted is not a state company.

Except it is and you are wrong.

(I'm Swedish.)

I think a CBA could make sense for Klarna, but not necessarily for Spotify.

Separately: A company with a CBA is a red flag to me. I think that CBAs and unions is what have kept tech salaries artificially low here, compared to e.g. US tech salaries.

The Danish government owns 50.1% of Ørsted. (See: https://orsted.com/en/investors/shares - "Danish State (majority stakeholder)) It's effectively a state company. So, when you think Ørsted, instead think Denmark.

Again, for the very slow crowd: here is the ownership graph again: https://orsted.com/en/investors/shares

For Altman, it’s not about money, either.

Yeah sure. If he doesn't end up being a billionaire in a decade I'll eat my shoes on a livefeed. I'll post the link here.

A few minutes ago you thanked me for my correction. This is disgusting behavior on your behalf.

> Just don't try to claim that your club is actually less blood-soaked than the others.

I'm in Sweden. Religion here has sort of faded into the background. Very few people are religious. We observe the religion here more or less as as a cultural thing. It's something we do at births, school exam celebrations and burials but not much else.

Bload soaked club? Yes, a few hundred years ago.

I mean, both GPS and WiFi was super exciting stuff in the early 2000s. There was a GPS magazine for GPS terminal enthusiasts (!). It's still sort of around: https://www.gpsworld.com/.

You have taken this photo from https://www.michaelmoore.com/p/i-was-elected-50-years-ago-to...

... where he says: "50 years ago today, I became the youngest-ever elected official in the state of Michigan, the first 18-year-old to do so."

US is larger than Michigan, I think.
