I do understand that, but equally it doesn’t follow the convention we use for the rest of the numbers.

I’d guess ten one, ten two, ten three

Four twenties ten nine thank you very much

Quatre vingt dix neuf is hands down my favourite french number. It’s only one syllable more than ninety nine.

That was rather my point, public or private company doesn’t really matter much compared to the leadership.

Oh, didn’t notice the part you specified gamers

You say that, but spaceX wasn’t a public company 3 weeks ago either.

Are they not supposed to report news?

In what sense have they given up on the US re: tech?

Honestly he’d do it for free if you’re willing to sit and listen to him about moths.

And provide a succinct list of talking points and responses to chat to people at work about?

I quite literally know a guy.

It’s exactly the same.

It’ll collapse or it won’t collapse or we’ll do something different, same as we always have. Pining for a rose tinted snapshot of 20 years ago or 30 years ago won’t make things better. It’s the same bullshit nostalgia fetishism the far right have for the 50s or 60s or whatever. Some things are worse, a lot of things are a lot better. All we can really do is support those we can support and make things better where we can.

Okay?

You’re saying things were better 20 years ago because there was false hope? By that logic 2020 must’ve been the best year ever because CO2 emissions actually dropped.

You’re kidding yourself, things may have seemed better 20 years ago but the economy was being bolstered by sub prime mortgage nonsense, it collapsed 2 years later and we’ve not had good times since.

Released under investigation, they don’t just arrest the king’s brother on a whim, pretty sure they’re pretty sure they can get a conviction.

There doesn’t really seem to much being shown here. They’ve not secretly come and arrested him quietly questioned him and released him and from the photos it doesn’t look like he’s been told “don’t worry it’s a dog and pony show, we’re just going through”

How far that stretches, we’ll have to see, I doubt he’ll see a cell but let’s give them some time to see how things develop.

Kind of a half decent use for them if you think about it, they’re probably quite good on etiquette and come with a certain cachet regardless of what we may think.
