I decided to get an American Express charge card for my contracting company to save a bit on taxes.

It arrived today and I have to say I'm impressed. Its made of metal! Feels super classy :)

Catching up on business today and decided to write a nicer looking letter template in latex I could use for future professional correspondence.

What do you guys think, does the signature and the rest look nice and professional?

End of may trumps approval rating was at an all time high, again higher than Obamas prior to his reelection (49%). However since the riots, now 2 weeks later his polling dropped significantly down to 39%, which might be enough for him to loose the election. I'll be curious to see how it goes from here. No doubt he seriously is dropping the ball on handling these riots though.

Well looks like @Sphinx passed the nominations for moderator. He had several nominations, including by all staff members, and no opposition.

I will make an official announcement shortly but looks like he is going to be a new moderator here!

Help people. I wanted to move money from Bank of America to a new bank, but I cant decide which one.

I mostly want to find some sort of high text, maybe online-only bank with a really feature rich mobile app.

I would love to hear suggestions, USA only (my europe account is Bunq which is great).

I just switched over to using a new wallet that I'm kinda excited about. It was hand made by this old artisan in Sardinia Italy. He didnt speak any english, and was kind of out in the middle of nowhere. To me that makes this wallet extra special.

It even has a custom design printed on the surface he hand did depicting Sardinia with some classical stylizations from the area. I got to watch him craft a new wallet in front of me too, it was cool to see.

The number of legs an animal has is directionally proportional to my desire to kill it.

My mom spent the whole day with me while I cleaned the Organic Chemistry lab. Also some important chemicals came in.

I know I keep promising this but I'm getting very close to being able to demonstrate to everyone the semisynthesis of CBD to THC!

@zleap To me when looking at things this way the fact that humans exist for only a fraction of the timeline is not particularly inciteful. That is true of every species on the timeline.

What is more impressive to me is that it took 4.5 billion years to produce the first life with our sort of intelligence. Plus it took only 1 billion years to for life to be created and then 3 billion more years just to go from single cell to multicellular.

The pace of evolution speeds up over time in a sense.

The Earth has been around for about 1/3 of the entire time the universe has existed.

Its extraordinary that at least on earth it took that long for life to develop that was intelligent enough to know this fact.

It literally took scales on the order of magnitude as the total time the universe has been existed to get where we are... sucks we are also on the verge of messing that all up.

@DaveTLV there is no other food source available or the animals quality of life is such that it's suffering and should be put at rest humanely
