    “The Lotto numbers for 2026-09-12 are 16 20 25 33 39 45, Superzahl 0.”

    Sounds materialistic, but I haven’t found a solution for any of the issues I had 5 years ago, I didn’t make any major wrong decisions since then, and stuff like “buy RAM and GPUs” is irrelevant after winning millions of eurobucks.

      Plot twist, your past self receives the sentence verbally and they have nothing to write it down to.

        The sequence of the numbers is not important and it’s not all or nothing (5 correct numbers would still net a decent amount of money), so there’s a chance that I’d recall enough to make use of it anyway. But it’s a good point, this kind of thing hinges on the specifics of how the sentence is transmitted much more than something like “take out fire insurance” or “don’t trust X”.

      If we had more time, then you could have sent back the lotto numbers from 5 years ago

      I had a similar thought, but I would send, “The winning Powerball numbers for November 5, 2022 will be 28 45 53 56 69, with a power ball of 20.”

      Since the Nov. 7, 2022 jackpot was $2.04 billion dollars, I would just send the winning numbers for the previous drawing that no one won. No reason to go small when I could take a huge jackpot with nearly a billion dollar lump sum payout.

    Don’t let mom get that surgery. She is the glue that keeps us all together and we need more years of that.

          Man that is scary. I’ve turned down some jobs to do fairly easy electrical stuff after I saw the attic had three sets of convoluted wires everywhere set up in a haphazard fashion, and not grounded. Some of the plugs had the neutral wired to the ground to fool the testers the city inspectors use to test.

          I am not an electrician, didn’t want to be blamed if a fire did happen from that shithole, (full of cockroaches too.) It’s also against the law there, only if I was the owner and there weren’t renter would it be legal to do my own work and even then in that city idk.

              Oh my god I am so sorry to hear that. What a nightmare. I should put a dog door in my place just in case. I am so sorry for your loss, that is a worst nightmare.

    Don’t move across the country with him, get a divorce, your gut instincts are right, he’s been cheating on you this whole time and he’s about to financially ruin you.

      I honestly thought the same thing but I’m not entirely sure it would have mattered.

      BTC 6 years ago was still 10k. Yeah, you could take out a loan for a “sure thing”, but 🤷.

        For me, it would have, but just because of the timing.

        I was selling newspaper ads back then. Typically, a shitty job, but the hospital got a multi million dollar grant to use towards COVID advertising. I made a lot of commissions during that time, but now it’s all gone.

      I was there five years ago, ten years ago, fifteen twenty and thirty years ago, and I said that to them. I was right. But it didn’t help.

      Don’t beat yourself up, it takes a lot of guts to love.
