The Mormons have $182 billion in investments (that excludes operating assets). Just their stocks/mutual funds/etc. exceed $50 billion.

They could buy 14 aircraft carriers or 1,776 F-35s.

This is true of every language. If you can't think of things you don't like about the language you're working in (and/or its tooling) you just don't know the language very well or are in denial.

The great James Burke. His documentary series, Connections, is amazing.

It used to be really hard to find a copy but it's all on archive.org now.

There's a great documentary call Q: Into the Storm that was on HBO that covers the history of how Qanon came to be. The short version is what the other person who replied wrote.

Yeah, it's a great album. I wasn't as keen on their second album but this one is was filled with a lot of songs that deserved more attention.

Android has locked down free access to storage in recent versions. Blame Google.

You can add the Bypass Paywalls Clean filter lists to uBlock Origin and the user scripts to TamperMonkey to get, as I understand it, almost all the basic functionality of the extension.

Ultra Lifetime is arguable but as I understand it, it's not that easy because Google Play doesn't have a way to transfer subscriptions between apps like that.

Pro I don't think makes sense because it was pretty cheap to begin with. Pro ended up costing me $0.00062/day ($2.50 11 years ago). Kind of makes me feel guilty to be honest.

That's unfortunately part of using the ad network. If you pay for ad-free (or Ultra) the ad network code never even gets initialized and so all that stuff just goes away.

Message LJ on Discord and he'll refund you so you can switch to Lifetime.
