I made a joke a while back about buying enough shares of Meta to cover WhatsApp, and donating them to the Signal foundation.
But seeing this buyTwitter thing makes it seem more serious.
Would it be possible to raise enough money to do that?

...and another one, and another one.
Please could we have a distro that, at least, simplifies the task of porting or reinstalling dozens of applications every time you distro-hop?
A couple of my troubles:
Even plain Ubuntu let me down with the appimage of the free version of the bibliographic system Mendeley (vital for some of us). Mint doesn't like Snap, and I won't even mention Flatpak.
Ubuntu offers full LaTeX, but it isn't full, missing some Tikz bits. You have to go to tug.org, which installs then tells you you have to set your own paths. Look up how to do that & find 100s of geek discussions on which obscure config files not to modify.

Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life
This is interesting to me. I grew up and and live in the US. Honey is most often acquired at a supermarket in a plastic container shaped like a bear.
You _squeeze_ the container to dispense the honey.
No spoons, no wands. Just honey.
So... The wand seems _amazingly_ superfluous to me. I literally don't understand the appeal.
This might sound snotty or obtuse, I don't mean it to, I understand the appeal of fresh honey (it's my preference) but I still can't quite grok the utensils... What's the advantage of the wand over say... A spoon or just pouring from the jar and wiping the lip of the jar when finished?
I feel like I'm genuinely _missing_ something.
Sure, I understand the concepts of traditional tools/utensils etc. I don't especially adapt to them. It's more the utility that I was curious about.
Thanks for the reply!

“Heim 6-timers” survived and 58.25 km accumulated. 66 % type 1 fun, 33 % type 2 fun. ;) Hour five felt hardest, but there was something left in the legs to put down fast five minutes before the end. Pretty happy with how the race went: 27 + 27 + 27 + 25 + 23 + 25 rounds looks nicely distributed effort over such a long time.
Now I got some indication why marathoners feel weird after km 30. ;)
