    There’s an artful wisdom gained from age, maybe. I’m still young though so let’s say; personal experience. It’s understanding that sometimes you don’t have to play the game.

    Knowing my luck, I’d have light expertise on Intel CPUs right about now if I still had interest in playing games. I heard somewhere once that processor imperfections influence the numbering of its variants (i3, i5, i7). If so, then the wonders of economies of scale?

    I sometimes forget that KiB style units are confusing. The / is practically ambiguous. Kibi is “2 to the 10” or 1024 (binary), but…

    1 kB ≈ 1 KB ≈ 1 KiB ≈ 1000 B ≈ 1024 B? Read my mind?

    The SI metric system is still a great feat though and unifies primary dimensions (length) on equivalent units (meters). Instead of hands, inches, feet, chains, furlongs, barleycorns, rods, and links — it’s just meters prefixed arbitrarily. Time’s probably messed up though.

    True story: I saw a ‘6 soft white rolls’ bread package morph into “6 50 foot white rolls” because of metric illness.

    Contact forms are magical informants. Can you smell what kind of spam the spammers (and scammers) are cooking?

    1. traffic/content farming services
    2. Blockchain services
    3. Coin recovery services
    4. Guest posters for any of the above
    5. Link sellers
    6. Cloaking dealers
    7. Cyber security spooks
    8. Rich people asking us poor people for money
    9. Visionary astrologers and foretellers

    The last four years have taught us valuable lessons. In the shopping mall at the “end of the world”, the three most valued goods are toilet paper, toilet paper stocks and finally, toilet paper stockpiling. Accounts of toilet paper recall options are most likely bogus.
