These birthdays just keep piling up ....

"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated.

What if there were twins, and one was born one minute before midnight on 31-Dec and the other was born 1 minute after midnight on 01-Jan.

They would be twins, but born in different years.

Decades of jokes could be had out of that one.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Is it ironic that two of The Beatles never got to 64?

Happy Birthday though fohat :) Is it today or soon?
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Birthday is today.
Amazing to look back and realize that the "Beatles phenomenon" itself is almost half a century old.
Heartbreaking to remember the hope for future that we all felt back then and to see how stupid and hateful the world has become today.
