You can name 10 people on this board in a heart beat, but you can't name 10 of your neighbors.

... your neighbors have all moved away because it's too hot near your home.

You have money from your paycheck automatically deducted and sent to the electronics store to pay for your habit.

You use your neighbor's wireless..... To borg their machines.

You set "iterations between screen outputs" to p+1, to save cycles.

When your wife becomes pregnant for the 4th time, you home for twins, so that you will have a prime number of kids. Which with your wife, also makes a prime family.

You build a portable powerplant so that you don't have to turn your farm off while moving to your roof - any short outage would eat up the microseconds you would gain with the move. And you move your farm *slowly* for not to run in any velocity related time dilation
