You built this machinery on this desolate planet just by yourself? What are you, some kind of Factorio?

Let's scale those amounts to something more understandable to non-billionaires

Imagine earning $50k per year and buying the president's favor for $45 per month. Elon is buying access to the most powerful person on the planet for the equivalent of a monthly phone bill.

That's clearly a game boy, and it seems to be just a third of it.

The same argument applies for polyamory

It's Adam AND Eve

not Adam XOR Eve

Writable CDs don't store data on microscopic holes, they instead have a layer of pigment that changes color when heated by a laser.

"The writing process does not produce indentations (pits);" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-R#:~:text=The%20writing%20process%20does%20not%20produce%20indentations%20(pits)%3B

CD-RWs have a coating that can change to its original when the laser heats it to a specific temperature (high heat to write, low heat to erase)

"To erase the disc, the write beam heats the amorphous regions with low power to about 200 °C." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-RW#:~:text=To%20erase%20the%20disc%2C%20the%20write%20beam%20heats%20the%20amorphous%20regions%20with%20low%20power%20to%20about%20200%20%C2%B0C.
