I really don't want to leave California. I am hoping to buy myself out with VC funds so I can be chillin working on statpedia.

I would rather work for WD, and that is the truth. That office is like 5 mins away.

No. I stopped playing games at 20 because it was an 18 hour a day thing, and my dad told me it was an escape from reality.

If I am at a friend's, and they have a console system I might play.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

this is my watch. i probably will not get a smartwatch until they make one that is pretty much the same size (including thickness), as durable, and has a battery i can go without charging for at least a month.

i want my smartwatch to be like a regular loving watch... but smart.

obviously it'd be ideal if the screen took up the whole face of the watch. i'm not saying i want a 1x2cm segmented lcd on my smartwatch.

Statpedia should think about profit sharing with these back links to searches like wolfram. Wolfram displays an ad between seeing it on statpedia, and being directed to wolfram. All these individual stat companies showing their statistics on statpedia can make money.

aww, starting to distance yourself already?

its delusional to think someone else, literally any other soul on the planet, will give enough of a poo poo to pick up statpedia where you abandon it and carry on

So about that Python program I wrote.

What happens if that just spreads to the world like wildfire?

Google comes to the Federal Reserve Board with a 100 billion dollar bill for one month.

Federal Reserve Board is like.... how is that possible?

Google says, oh there is this computer program going around the internet spamming your address for cost per click.

What is Federal Reserve Board going to say... oh well I guess we are still going to advertise the Federal Reserve Board on Google after paying this ridiculous bill?

Do I care if Federal Reserve Board pays Google 100 billion in advertising costs? Yes. I believe it would be a good thing. Google is responsible.

Dude. I am constantly reaching out to investors. What is your deal?

I will not abandon Statpedia!

Statpedia is too cool to just let fall in the dust. You are delusional to think lots of people won't like statpedia. Lots of people do like it.

Think about all these stats uploaded in 10, 20 years?

If I do nothing but live that long, and still have statpedia running, I will be super successful.
