it gives me a warm glow inside knowing that I have been using a torrented version of Office on all my family computers for like15 years

you had to pick a good game back then because it would usually be 6 months or something before another game came along!
leaving clothes left and right! yes! so annoying, but you have to adapt and accept. it's almost like a magical glitch that simply cant be fixed.
funny thing is her dad has a similar thing with tools, god bless the bastard, but he can't seem to put them back.
last time he had used a load of my tools and just put them all in a shopping bag which i obviously then have to spend 30 minutes sorting out because i'll never find anything again.
im the opposite, to me this is what my brain likes (sadly not my tool wall)
Kate's husband sound like a dickhead and needs an ass-kicking if he's not doing his bit.
that being said, my wife has a habit of putting things in the sink instead of the dishwasher and in ten years has not managed to overcome it. I mean the dishwasher is RIGHT THERE, I think it's an Adah issue or something.
you could spend as long as you like watching the slave army work on the pyramids and then come back yes lol
do you see your fellow truckers much?
also, do you think self-driving trucks will be a thing any time soon?
Well if it's going to take all our jobs we might as well get some quality mems and videos along the way!
John Law fiat and France
John Law was a Scotsman who introduced the first paper money to France in 1716.
He had befriended the Duke of Orleans, who was the regent for the child king Louis XV, and convinced him that paper money was the way to get the French government out of debt.
Initially, this new paper money was limited in supply and was convertible to gold and silver.
Two years later the supply limitation was removed.
The Bank that had been set up to manage the currency printed more and more notes.
Around the same time, Law had established the Mississippi Company and had acquired a monopoly on France’s foreign trade.
In what became the famous Mississippi bubble, huge demand for the shares in the Mississippi Company drove the share price from 500 livres to 18,000 livres.
During the speculative mania the government continued to print more and more paper money.
Eventually the smart money started taking profits, which triggered a collapse in the stock price of the Mississippi Company.
Recognising the danger of fiat currency, many converted their paper profits into gold and silver.
This was a wise move as inflation had reached 23%.
But it would soon destroy the monetary system.
Law initially responded by suspending convertibility into gold and silver and devaluing the paper currency by 50%. But this could not save the system.
The collapse of both the stock price of the Mississippi Company and the paper currency created chaos in France.
Law fled the country and the government returned to a monetary system based on gold and silver.
classic fiat !
