[17:15] Hirsute Hippo [17:15] i can't believe we are gonna be talking about hirsute for a cycle. at least that isn't an LTS release ;) [17:19] Was hairshirt not available? [17:22] maybe in 13more years :) [17:25] https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/4/22212347/google-employees-contractors-announce-union-cwa-alphabet [17:25] not that you haven't already seen it :) [17:30] exciting! [21:17] Unions are great until they get corrupt. [21:21] $X are great until they get corrupt. #ftfy ;) [21:23] 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] like a real bank [21:23] and charge them 18-25% to borrow money from you. [21:24] lol [21:24] ursury is a sin [21:24] err... usury. lol [21:24] Yes, yes it is [21:24] but apparently it's OK if you put "Bank" in the name [21:25] cmaloney: I want to *encourage* saving :) [21:28] pay interest if they lend you money :) [21:29] 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] hey, nice job! [21:37] Call it bank fees [21:38] "balances containing more odd numbers than even fee" [21:38] "balances divisible by 3 fee" [21:38] "prime number balances divisible by 1 fee" [21:45] heh, yeah, I've already warned him that the rate might be going down :)
