[17:15] <jrwren>  Hirsute Hippo
[17:15] <jrwren> i can't believe we are gonna be talking about hirsute for a cycle. at least that isn't an LTS release ;)
[17:19] <cmaloney> Was hairshirt not available?
[17:22] <jrwren> maybe in 13more years :)
[17:25] <greg-g> https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/4/22212347/google-employees-contractors-announce-union-cwa-alphabet
[17:25] <greg-g> not that you haven't already seen it :)
[17:30] <jrwren> exciting!
[21:17] <Scary_Guy> Unions are great until they get corrupt.
[21:21] <greg-g> $X are great until they get corrupt. #ftfy ;)
[21:23] <cmaloney> greg-g: BTW: on the compound interest: you could really give a life's lesson by giving your young-uns $.01 for their interest
[21:23] <cmaloney> like a real bank
[21:23] <cmaloney> and charge them 18-25% to borrow money from you.
[21:24] <jrwren> lol
[21:24] <jrwren> ursury is a sin
[21:24] <jrwren> err... usury. lol
[21:24] <cmaloney> Yes, yes it is
[21:24] <cmaloney> but apparently it's OK if you put "Bank" in the name
[21:25] <greg-g> cmaloney: I want to *encourage* saving :)
[21:28] <jrwren> pay interest if they lend you money :)
[21:29] <greg-g> context for others: I'm giving Rowan 10% compounded monthly right now, but that number will be going down after he got a lot of money from his birthday and christmas this year (both in December).
[21:36] <jrwren> hey, nice job!
[21:37] <cmaloney> Call it bank fees
[21:38] <cmaloney> "balances containing more odd numbers than even fee"
[21:38] <cmaloney> "balances divisible by 3 fee"
[21:38] <cmaloney> "prime number balances divisible by 1 fee"
[21:45] <greg-g> heh, yeah, I've already warned him that the rate might be going down :)
