Don't go up the ladder, go down. I extensively use 20% concentrated vinegar to control weeds and brush on my ~1 acre property. It's just as fast acting and effective as Roundup, but instead of causing cancer, it smells like salad dressing. Unlike Glyphosate it is not a selective herbicde and kills broadleaf plants and grasses alike. So it's not as useful for farmers spraying Roundup resistant soybean crops. But for control of backyard weeds, it's much preferred to giving your family and pets cancer.

Oh, you are in for a treat. I'd really consider it more "words being spoken pompously" than "singing."

I, Steve Wozniak, did not participate in the theft of the BASIC. It was funny to me to see others enjoying doing this. I had never used BASIC myself, at that time, only the more-scientific languages like Fortran, Algol, and PL-1, and several assembly languages. I sniffed the air and sensed that you needed BASIC to sell computers into homes, because of the book 101 Games in BASIC. I loved games and saw games as the key. It was the [MS] BASIC that inspired me to write a BASIC interpreter for my 6502 processor, in order to have a more useful computer.

I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out.

NASA developed, built, and operated a satellite catching craft over 50 years ago. It was called the STS, otherwise known as the Space Shuttle. Publicly, it caught the Solar Max satellite, the Hubble Space Telescope, and several others. Thatâ(TM)s what it was built for. What do you consider the chances are that a few Soviet satellites were also visited during the classified Department of Defense missions? https://www.nasa.gov/history/3...
