I just bought a new Macbook Pro, with 24 gigs of RAM.

In 1984, they made 50,000 macs, each with about 128k of RAM. That's 6.4 gigs of RAM total. My new mac has almost 4 times the RAM as all Macs on the planet in 1984 combined.

The Apple stock I sold in the 1990s would be worth $1,900,000 today. But maybe only $1,800,000 tomorrow.

My sister made me a tiki mug. Year of the snake, I’m told. I thought I’d stick a maitai in there. #tiki

"If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding the truth. The Bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken."

-Carl Sagan (The Demon Haunted World)

#AdventOfCode well, D21 defeated me. I don't understand why moving up then left vs left then up would produce any differences in distance. Going to ^ then < then A should be the same as going to < then ^ then A.

Also, I did it on paper, and still got the same wrong answer, so...
