Really, you should save $1,000,000 for the trip. Chicks dig astronauts.
 
Heck, maybe even save $1,500,000. Wink | ;)

About 3 weeks ago I bought some rope at the local flea market and when I came home I threw it on in a box in the computer/tool/gear room and today I went to get it and it wasn't there. I spent 4 hrs tearing this place apart and finally found it in a wadded up piece of tarp I have been using in a sewing project. How it got there I still haven't figured out but I've decided I better call and make reservations at the old folks home if this keeps up.

You put the rope inside the tarp when you were thinking about suspending the mannequin from the ceiling. I remember that quite clearly, I'm surprised that you don't.

It's funny because my son is a deer hunter and one of the places I hike is in the Osceola National Forest on the Florida Trail[^] and it's deer season. He called me the other day and told me if I go into that area this week that it's the height of the deer season and the hunters have a saying; "If it's brown it's down" so he recommended that I be real careful.

Tokenizing it by la, lc, lg, and lt, you see it's made up of 6468 word groups (tokens included). Removing duplicates gives us 908 words. So there's room for compression. Tokenizing by l reduces it all to about 26 words.

And to be fair, it does only contain 26 letters, multiple times and in different order.

Yes, this has been an issue for a long time. In the early days people would make a lot more than that by having prime domain names.

I know. By first line I was referring to a category of issues in economy, which this is a good instance in our field of work.
 
Problem is that I searched for tens of names and came across similar websites of people or companies. That's a bit too frustrating.
 
Earning money by making life of others worse is a shame, I believe.
