Well, and there's the little problem of those many Trump bankruptcies, where they missed loan payments, cost investors and banks millions of dollars, and leaving some iconic buildings to fall into ruin, until they were torn down.

We're autistic - data dumps are just a fact of life.

That makes much more sense, the idea of humans as batteries is ridiculous.
Oh my goodness I've just learned a thing about The Matrix that causes it to make a lot more sense: In the original script the humans were used as neural network compute clusters by the Machines and as a crucial component of The Matrix itself.
Which is why humans who were aware of the simulation could control aspects of The Matrix - their minds were part of its foundation.
Unfortunately the test audiences had trouble understanding this concept so the studio changed the human role to "batteries".
I never noticed that before - that's actually kind of cool.
The addition part is also true for 9x12=108.

Oh, joy. [sigh]
I guess it's autistics' turn to be a trope now.
Magic women.
Magic Black people.
Perpetually single gay BFF.
Now magic autistic people. Is that better than being supercomputer autistic people?
You'd hate my house, where I encourage Little Man to speak up.
We've always had trouble getting him to eat, but if he's excited for it he eats better. We play hunting/stalking games all through me getting his food ready, and by the time I'm done, he's ready to eat.
Memorizing that grid of numbers didn't work for me, so I worked out other methods.
x9, for example, I count down from 9x9=81. 9x6=
81, 72, 63, 54 - ah, yes, 54.

It takes a very special type of dumbass, whoβs exceedingly short of being a millionaire, to send βdonationsβ to a self-proclaimed billionaire at the request of that βbillionaire.β

There are reasons he loves the poorly educated - and why the GQP wants to make more of them.

Yesterday the sky was dark, and I was sure it would rain, but other than a few isolated drops, nada. Today, I hope will be different, my lawn could use some rain. I haven't been keeping up with watering this year. Interestingly, in Louisiana, you can find ground water about a foot below the surface.
My personality used to include a taste of OCD. When I say "used to" I mean relatively recent past, not my long-ago younger days. When something needed to get done, I would obsess until it happened. But now-a-days, in retirement, I'm as mellow as a pillow.
It's weird how our personalities change over the years. We're more like machines than we'd like to believe. A slight chemical imbalance changes the ballgame.

My household recently switched from a 2 hybrid family to a 1 hybrid, 1 EV family. Solar panels charge the EV, the hybrid we kept averages 45.8 mpg.
Next summer, when the new EV is paid off, we're switching to a 2 EV family, and I'll be able to stop gas use completely. That will be a good day.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
