They're only $20 bill rolls... that's why.

I am fairly certain that having rolls of $100 bills in a box is NOT one of the "5 best easy ways to earn a passive income"... but then, maybe I'm wrong, and that's why I don't have a box full of $100 bill rolls...

It is worth noting that yesterday was the 80th anniversary of the Nürnberg trials, in which the United States and its allies tried and ultimately convicted war criminals. Those were the times.
I hear the building is still available.

Usually, "back to the office" mandates should have CEO's lead by example. And if you don't show up, you are fired. Not rewarded with even higher incentives. Can I get that "back to the office" BONUS as well??? Please?
Was driving along that weird stretch of US-Canada bisected street (the street is in Canada the houses on the southern side are in the US), and almost all the houses in the southern side, usually flying 🇺🇸, were flying 🇨🇦, with posters "Elbows up".

This might actually be worse than that. This is an embedded Linux system connected to the internet. Embedded systems are notoriously poorly updated. What can possibly go wrong with this? blinkux.com/uploads/blin...

Are we sure it's not an orange skinned alien? I thought I caught a glimpse in MIB 3.5... Just a different skin...

The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds
When Amazon Web Services went offline, people lost control of their cloud-connected smart beds, getting stuck in reclined positions or roasting with the heat turned all the way up.

When beds malfunction bc of a DNS failure, I think there's some overly poor/over-optimistic engineering at play. Anybody should be able to sleep even with a failed DNS infrastructure (except for the engineers who screwed it up). PSA: Jailbreak your bed! github.com/throwaway312...
