There’s only a billion possible nine digit number. There’s no algorithm to them. There might have been some level of regional allocation since my sister and I have the same first 3 digits, but I doubt that’s still a thing. Also TINs issued to corporate entities also draw from that numbering system, so there are significantly less than a billion possible SSNs

There’s about 350 million people in the US.

Just make up a nine digit number that doesn’t start with an 9 (IIRC TINs use the range of numbers starting with 9) and you have a better than 1 in 3 chance of getting it right.

I’m sure it’s not unique to getting old as there could be other causes, but for me it’s been that my grip strength wanes and I drop things pretty regularly now. I used to fence and sword spar and I had gotten used to barely holding things so I wouldn’t break them. Now if I’m not thinking about it, things just kind of fall out of my hands. Very weird thing to realize.

Plastic is not evil. Single use plastic is. Lego is anything but single use. I’m a little disappointed they’re still using plastic bags in their packaging, hopefully that’ll stop soon. I’ll reserve judgement on these being e-waste till we see how they’re used, if they’re used, if they’re planned obsolescence, etc.

You’re absolutely right, before we explore that further, have you checked Raid: Shadow Legends yet? It’s so much fun…

I see the issue. Bluetooth hasn’t been invented yet. Please wait 2-3 decades and try again.
