Quote from: RE on Nov 28, 2024, 10:34 AMWe know Russell was killed by Ruskies.  They are being prosecuted for it.  They mistakenly believed he was an Amerikan spy.

I am aware of his story. I simply noted that ISN'T what you said on the video in terms of who killed him. You said the Ukrainians did.

Quote from: REThe website is still a work in progress, obviously.  A lot of the pages are still just templates, it's not even my own text or pics.  Not ready for prime time.

Well that's good then that you haven't put it in front of anyone who matters. But proofreading is proofreading, and it is out there should you mention it in a place that has more than the 2 or 3 viewers of your State Fair videos.

Quote from: REThe patents are the key to this being viable as a biz.  Without some protection, Milton-Bradley or Hasbro or a dozen other smaller companies in the educational toys biz will copy me.

Of course.

Quote from: REI also know the protocol for meeting with Suits.  Been there, done that, own the T-shirt.

In the same CENTURY that your motorcycling experience comes from, or today? I've been there and done that to, back then, and now, and in between, and being there and doing it isn't the same today as it was back then.

Quote from: REIt's a big part of why I left the banking biz.  Stuffed shirts and pompous assholes grate on my nerves.  But I can deal with them for short periods of time.
Thx for the good wishes.

Of course. But they aren't all pompous assholes and stuffed shirts, and the ones that aren't are better ones to know than the kind you are apparently familiar with. I rarely have to deal with the types you mention nowadays because these things sort themselves out with time and ability. Folks know folks. And the ones that aren't stuffed shirts find their own sources and experts that aren't stuffed shirts and pretty soon you've got two distinct populations. Stuffed shirts and folks who get it done...with the former really wishing they could figure out how to become the latter.

Ditch that half laugh you insert randomly in the way you narrate in front of them. Seriously. Regardless of the type of money people you meet, all of them pick up on oratory extras like that and take it as a form of unseriousness.
