Yes, pretty much that.

Also it took a while for the telescope to catch on.

The Jantar Mantar is a collection of 19 astronomical instruments built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh, the founder of Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. The monument was completed in 1734.[1][2] It features the world’s largest stone sundial, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[1][3] It is near City Palace and Hawa Mahal.[4] The instruments allow the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye

Not that is a meme we can all get behind.

I’m getting over 4% at suncoast credit union and Vanguard Vusxx is paying 3.65%

You need to shop around.

VUSXX is the ticker symbol for the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund, a mutual fund designed for capital preservation and liquidity rather than stock-like growth.

Yes to building societies. But like credit unions do your research before joining.

I didn’t know whether to mention them because they don’t exist everywhere. And they had some scandals a while back. I’m not current about their situation in all the different countries that operate them.

Like any other service company they can go down hill. Also wall street and the banking industry. HATE them because they giver better service at a lower cost. The for profit finacial industry keep getting laws passed to lock credit unions out of sectors.

Plus you should always check their health scores. https://www.depositaccounts.com/banks/reviews.aspx

I belong to three different ones, they all have plus and minus.

Some belong to the credit union coop and you can access your account all over the country.

Some have really great rates on CD’s.

Some have International reach, and great phone support, like the Navy credit union

I never understood why people keep using banks when credit unions are available.

Banks are predatory, credit unions are not. You are doing business with someone who wants to hurt you, maybe you should stop.

Damnit Bob, i told you not to park there. It’s a freaking dimensional vortex you idiot.

Yes, I know it’s a joke and sarcasm.

I also know you have the cognitive depth of an ai. Since you chose to be offended by my response.

The oppressed, butchered and exterminated victims of the European colonial systems would like a word with you…

I can think of nothing more hellish than taking a spreadsheet to bed with me.
The very thing that ruled my work day, and was the bane of my existence needs to stay the fuck out of the bedroom

Dude, if your posting here, you are one of us.

Resistance is futile.

Published in 1995. Kind of strange all these years later to read it and say, “Oh shit, he was right”.

Meanwhile, ai turns the world into a giant turd, ruled by the nerd reich.

Nope, it’s all just part of the Epiphany experience. You will get use to it.

See, that wasn’t that hard. Now go out and spread the good news.

You just need to relax and let go, then embrace the possum bilities.

I’ve decided to help you out with the manifesto. Here is a working copy for you to edit as you wish.

Not judging. Just trying to provoke you into a multipage rant that expounds your position on the comma.

You didn’t provide a link for the manifesto.

Or say whether you were for or against.

Oh everything’s fine. I never let some paperwork get in the way of life.

It can still be fun, just nurture your delusions till they become hallucinations. Then the world is your oyster.
