Well, I have hit the big bucks Bought 10 $2 scratch off lottery tickets today, total return was $168.00! All I have to do is do it again, and again, and again......

Are they known as the "Stupid Tax" over there as well?
Not - and I stress this - meaning that you are stupid, just that most people who buy them are too dumb to realise the size of the odds against them making a long term profit, much less a significant one ...

Never heard them called that (not that it is not true). The money goes to a good cause, so I am reasonably okay with my losses (never buy more that $10 worth). I DID hit a $1000 ticket once, had to check it three times to make sure

No, it’s called “innumeracy tax”. We are very polite and don’t call people stupid, unless we have to 😀.

I'm from the south/mid-west US and I hear it called that all the time. Also gambling is illegal where I live so people play the lotto like it's a slot machine. Gets kinda annoying sometimes since tickets are only sold at gas stations. I just want my coffee; continue your gambling later.

I've always called it a voluntary tax. Paid by those who are poor at math, statistics and probabilities.

Yup. You only need to repeat this another 4 or 5 times (depending on your age and lifestyle), and you can retire.
Now calculate the odds of doing it...

Just makes me think back to the good old days when everything wasn't outsourced.
Now, of course, we have a special level of reliability: you can be sure there will be an untimely failure from a complete lack of quality control. Voyager 1 & 2 wouldn't have survived past the moon.

The V'ger missions have been ongoing for a few decades now. The Wayback Machine shows that site's existed since at least May 2002.
I'm sure there's something in particular you wanted to bring our attention to...? Otherwise I get the feeling I could come across as being a d*ck just for asking (and I apologize if that's the case, that's truly not my intent)

Well, live data on how far away they are (and Voyager 1 is getting closer to Earth every second ATM), recent news, and so forth?

I remember from the few times went inside starblahs they have all these posters banging on about beans from (good farms where they don't beat but actually pay the workers) in Kenya or Brazil etc.
cream/milk sourced local, likewise what goes into the cookies/cakes they bake.
now apart from that all they have is cups, mugs, small plates, doilies and spoons right?
OK paper/plastic cups & stirrers for takeaway... I'm sure those can be sourced locally too.
apparently starbucks supply chain is heavily affected by the shutdowns in China
what do they need from China?
particularly that which would be a "major" supply item??
Now I realise why their coffee tastes artificial (well all-round crap taste, definitely nothing like coffee)
- too much melamine??
- too much ground up PCB boards (from all the imported "e-waste")??
- literally desiccated pelatized crap?? (got to wonder right? they make rice and eggs from plastic)
- ???
Note: not attacking china, not political, rather questioning the efficacy of starbelch's products.

Actually you would be rather surprised by how that is not the case. Last time I looked, there was one straw/stirrer manufacturer left in the US, and I have no idea if they are still in business. And I think they were making paper straws and were getting swamped with orders because CA (or maybe just SF) banned plastic straws.
But take all that with a grain of salt, as I recall it was something I read or saw.

Canada? wooden stirrers, paper cups? they've got plenty of tree farms.
