Pretty much goes without saying, but:
Not an immigrant
Not LGBTQ
Most likely not a liberal

He'll leave.

Eventually.

That's the ballroom he wanted.

This is the ballroom he's getting:

The 2014 Tumblr Dashcon ballpit: actually a small inflatable kiddie pool full-ish of plastic balls, sitting in a large, empty storage area.

My company dropped AWS a year ago over stability and security concerns; we now host all our own cL0uD stuff in-house. My O365 guy and I had a good laugh about this hairball this morning.

25 years isn't shit for aircraft, especially bizjets. There are OG B-52s that are still airworthy. My own little birb is 53.

The rest of her statement is just the usual flat-out lies.

My sister and son are the beneficiaries of my life insurance. Sis and I agreed long ago that if either of us dies, the other adopts our cats. Everything else is irrelevant.

I refuse to give up the things that make me happy just to satisfy some actuarial lifespan expectation.

I have very few joys in life. Riding and flying are most of them. I do all I can to mitigate risks; after that, it's out of my hands.

The only people who depend on me are my cats. I have a living will and advance directive. If I do end up splattered across a mile of ground, so be it.

The YT Al Gore Rhythm hath decreed that I am destined for an early and gruesome demise because I ride motorcycles and fly light aircraft, thus my feed shall be nothing but medics and hospice workers describing the horrors of both.

To which I say, fie on you.
