Geeks are as Geeks do.
Somebody did the math and just...reported the number.
Whether somebody else just didn't understand, or decided, "might as well just say what it is", I can't say. It could be either one. The numbers a joke, the only question is who is in on the joke and who isn't.
Russia isn't expecting Google to pay anything, and if there is ever a settlement, it will be through negotiation. Therefore, the number itself is meaningless, but there may be somebody over there who doesn't know that.
Hi! I'm back! Had to reset my password 'cause I couldn't remember it. :lol:
Multiple major events have occurred in my life. Film at eleven.
Do we really want to see that film?
We're past Halloween, ya know.
And we don't want any Christmas Specials, just yet.

Perhaps. My father had a major stroke at the end of July and spent most of August in the hospital and rehab. I moved in with him since he can no longer take care of himself. So my house is now up for sale if anyone is interested.Quote:

Sorry to hear about your father. Strokes can be...like a roll of some bad dice. You tend to lose something, but it's almost chance as to what, and how it impacts you.
I keep getting inquiries about my house in Detroit. One of them finally included the address, so I was able to see the house I supposedly own. It seems like it has potential, though I don't know how the neighborhood is. There has to be some issue, since I've been getting inquiries for years.
Of course, I don't HAVE a house in Detroit.
Each member has a certain amount of memory for uploads. It's not a very generous cap, and pictures consume it pretty quickly. You can delete older uploads, of course, but that will make whatever thread they were in...a bit odd.
Got a root canal, yesterday. They made a big deal about pain after the anesthetic wore off, so I was ready for it. Still hasn't happened, yet. Guess I got lucky. The dentist was a hoot, too, as he treated the whole thing as casually as could be. He was chatting with his assistant about plans for the weekend, beards (I have one, and it was getting in the way at times), the music that was playing, and whatever else. He couldn't have made it more clear that this was just routine.
This Lichess game was fun. I've been on a losing streak, but won this when I wasn't logged in.
