@davidbisset at least it's not a renewal notice from Domain Name Services (the scam)

@davidbisset especially when you forget to turn off automatic renewal, so you have an unexpected amount taken from your account!

@davidbisset this is what landlordism does to an mf

end the domain name system

@davidbisset I tried to think of a funny clever thing to say about this painting, but I could not.
The look on the mother's face stopped me cold. Her right arm hanging limp is a surrender of her emotion .
@davidbisset I'll use one of my 4 domain names again soon - maybe - or buy another.

@ExiledKing

At this point, they're collectibles like a recurring cost Funko for me. It will be exceptionally rare if I make a return on the investment on them.

Maybe I should run my own registrar. 🤔

@davidbisset It's going to come in handy one day. I can feel it.
@davidbisset
Oh just call me out like this

@davidbisset painting is by Berthold Woltze made somewhere late 1800 early 1900 i guess. Probably a painting of one who was able to snatch the short domain names.

@davidbisset @marove Warum denke ich dabei an Dich. :-)
@davidbisset Why do you keep unused domains?
@davidbisset Let them expire and experience true nirvana
@davidbisset One company I worked for was paying almost $50000/year to Network Solutions for hundreds of domain names they never used, all in the format of "brandname-cityname.com"

I suggested letting them lapse and was overruled by someone who's title started with 'C'
@aaron @davidbisset followed by a vowel and two consonants?
@davidbisset ”Oh, tearawaytrousers.com! We could have done so much together!”
@davidbisset This painting is stunning. Who is it from? Every mother, who's ever received bad news, while their child was asking excitedly what's in the letter, feels this.

@davidbisset I own my last name .com and I will NOT get rid of it (it redirects you to my last name .eu)
@davidbisset I would be relieved if a bill against unused domain names came out. I would be finally free.
@davidbisset the question is not if one has unused domains, but how many are unused
