Like others, I read the whole thread without understanding most of it. I'm trying to picture how this would be used in a prison with no hard drive and no USB port. No mention of it having bluetooth, but wifi seems like a real security problem anyway. Does it have a CD slot? It would make sense if it were connected to a central hard drive that could be monitored, but without a port it doesn't seem possible. It could be that this computer had more parts before the guy bought it (for $5), but he knows enough to figure that out if that were the case.
I had no idea that there were now products labeled "condensed" that didn't have sugar, but a search showed that there are. I will add a word or two to make that clearer.
The phrase "eternal trajectory away from earth" is not quite accurate. Voyager could crash into something eventually, or it could be snagged into the gravitational pull of another system, and become a satellite of an exoplanet. Imagine it being found by a future alien civilization millions of years from now, long after we are gone.
Well, you've sent me down the rabbit hole. The island pictured here is named Kiritimati, but it's pronounced "Christmas." The "ti" in the Gilbertese language is pronounced "s". The English call it Christmas Island, not to be confused with Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, which is where the famous crab march happens.
The island was first permanently populated as a coconut plantation. The village of Poland was named in honor of one of the plantation managers, who was from Poland. There's a lot more interesting stuff at Wikipedia.
I went fishing one morning but after a short time I ran out of worms. Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait. Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put it in my bait bucket. Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit. So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp. I released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog. A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. It was that darned snake, with two more frogs.
The "loud budgeting" in the image means the trend of foregoing social engagements because they are too expensive, and being honest with whoever invited you about the reason you are declining. Yes, I looked it up.
From the linked article: "But since the Antarctic Treaty of 1961 has effectively frozen all territorial claims in Antarctica, that decipoint at the bottom of the world is a decidedly theoretical one."

I was. I was only surprised it didn't happen sooner.
