Isn't this Jack Black's mom?

Woooooow... So good to finally learn it after seeing it reaching Reddit's main page some dozen or two times already. Wooooooooooooooow....
Also worth remembering: The Apollo guidance computer had less compute power than a USB charger. That thing sent us to the moon. https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/a30916315/usb-c-charger-apollo-11-computer/

I'm eternally envious of the man who got to marry her
You’d see her a couple times a month haha. People with ambition like hers stay very very busy.
I’m eternally grateful for her contributions to humanity. That’s for sure.
Lol your not wrong, probably why every smart girl that I'm actually into doesn't want anything more then casual sex.

I ran into that problem when my ex and I split up.
Trust me, it isn’t a bad thing. If I had settled down with any of those girls I would have been miserable.
I didn’t know just how much another personality in your life can uplift and elevate yours or drag yours down to rot until I got with the one I’m with now.
So many things that I hated about myself disappeared when my ex and I went our separate ways. Her life improved immensely and she was doing everything she couldn’t motivate herself to do when she was with me. We didn’t hate each other, we just weren’t right for each other at all and it took way too long to see that. Hell I didn’t see it until after the fact.
It isn’t worth it if it isn’t the right one. You spend years that you can’t get back and that’s easy to do.
When the right one comes along she’ll want a whole lot more than casual sex, so don’t settle and just enjoy the casual sex in the meantime.
You’ll miss the old adventures one day, but not enough to ever go back to them WHEN you find the right one.
She’s out there.
She might not be the type who works for NASA. Margaret Hamilton’s husband was a NASA engineer.
Thank you man, you are right. I've just got to stay on my path, live my life and enjoy it. Me focusing on doing what I love will bring me more life satisfaction than chasing a relationship ever will.
Thank you.

The code:
The fact that this has been on the front page for a day tells me that lemmy is just a shittier version of reddit.
