Lucky idiot, the "lucky" part being true at least for the time being.

Would that be more or less idiotic than spending $44B to acquire Twitter?

... people who say they can't tell the difference.
I think of it as "cannot consistently rank", along the lines of:
Given any two choices: A and B
While one can consistently detect that A≠B, one may not be able to consistently rank whether it's A>B or A<B over time.

I can't tell the difference between beer that costs $20 for 12 bottles (144 oz) vs. beer that costs roughly $17 for 4 cans (64 oz).
The reason I can't tell the difference is it's the same freaking beer.
I'd always assumed the really expensive wine is going to be different. It sure is with whisky, to the point where it's essentially a completely different drink. Presumably, as with most things, there's a sweet spot regarding quality vs. cost, which may vary depending on the user, and more importantly the user's wife.

DON’T let them eat cake.

A man from Maine, who transformed his life overnight with a $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot, is embroiled in a legal battle against the mother of his child, who he asserts has breached a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The winner, only known in court documents as John Doe, had the mother, referred to as Sara Smith, sign the NDA in a bid to shield their lives from potential threats that may come from publicity.
Despite the restrictive agreement, intended to secure their privacy until 2032, Smith divulged Doe’s jackpot victory to his father and stepmother. This revelation triggered a ripple effect, with other relatives, including Doe’s sister, also becoming privy to the news. The lawsuit pinpoints the ‘irreparable harm’ borne out of this disclosure.

Telagraph, telephone, tell a woman.

I can't tell if they are married or not, but she is literally disclosing information after signing a NON DISCLOSURE agreement. I don't blame him, in general. That being said, I'm glad I live in Minnesota so when I win the Mega Millions I can slowly buy all the land around @Horace without him knowing it's me.
@Jolly LOL that is funny

Punchline to an old, pre-internet joke.
What's the three fastest ways to spread information?
