Clearly his name is Dow Jones.

Does it count if I’ve seen the Les Mis musical five or six times?

My domain names and web/email server hosting.

Not having to worry about all the horrors one is subjected to when they depend on a free service for online presence, email, etc. is worth a great deal to me. Any free service can disappear or kick you off at a whim leaving you with nothing, social media sites and apps come and go (and/or enshittify) while as a consumer of a paid service you not only have a quality of service beyond freebies (privacy, no ads, what I want to put online is exactly what goes online unadulterated, people who want to find or contact me can always do so at my own site on my own terms) you also have consumer protections if things go wrong.

While I’m not self-hosting my web stuff on my own hardware, the host I use is a small business owned by an old friend and fellow hacker which means I’m not at the mercy of some faceless corporation’s TOS either. My host and I see eye-to-eye on what’s appropriate for me to put out there via her machinery, and she’s also not extrajudicially sharing my private crap with fascist government forces like the big tech monoliths and most free services do.

Not only that, Gates’ hair was a reused wig from Jennifer Aniston’s old stock. 1996 was wild.

I know a guy who rocked that exact look in 1988.

A STRANGE GAME.

THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS

NOT TO PLAY.

All I’ve ever wanted is for the Revolution to knock on my door in need of a weird cable.

On the sides is very easy. If you get an electric hair clipper at home you can buzz it down yourself as part of your morning routine, in probably less time than an average beardless guy takes to shave his face.

When you start involving the back of your head it gets trickier.

The 🎵 emoji is generally displayed as a double note with one higher than the other, so the notes can’t both be E.
