Exactly. It’s hard, but it’s not complicated. The fact that they’re lines of communication are so messed up shows that management doesn’t believe it’s a priority.

Myth 2 is the reason I bought a computer with a CD-ROM drive — it’s still what I think of first when I think of Bungie.

The red flag is when they have free booze, but disallow spouses/guests. That tells you that management is looking to misbehave.

I’m really starting to like Stephanie Ruhle, too. I had some initial distrust of her investment banking background (there’s so much economic conventional wisdom that is just flat-out untrue), but I think she’s learned most of the right lessons from that. And she is whip-smart and unafraid to speak her mind and…

Oh absolutely. I do the same thing. It’s important to be able to self-monitor well enough to know when those thoughts are actually a danger. Fortunately the one time I opened my “just in case” bottle of pills to actually take them, I was strong enought to flush them down the toilet instead.

Some of that, definitely. And this may just reinforce what you were saying, butI always heard it as more nostalgia than contempt. (I was a Southern small-town transplant, rather than a Midwestern one, so it was all vaguely alien anyway, while still reminding me of similar things from the South.)

I don’t know that there were ever a lot of public details, but I know I’ve heard something about him. So this was like the least surprising revelation ever.

In addition, one of the major reasons for company failures is guessing wrong on demand and being stuck with a pile of unsold inventory.

It’s as though drunk people don’t always make good decisions.

You have just explained why I loved my bus commute, when I lived in a city with mass transit. I wrote a novel during my commute time.

That’s a state by state thing. Many states do require annual inspections of vehicles.

My 22 year-old son adores it as well.

But those of us who haven’t ever been harassed (and we do exist) keep trying to figure out why that might be. “I guess I’m not pretty enough” is always an easy place to go.

Transfolk don’t make up a huge percentage of the military, but a disproportionate percentage of transfolk serve.

But it should come up on a list on honorees — they should have to own their history. It really bothers me when people/organizations pretend like they didn’t do something that they did. Put an asterisk by his name if you like, but don’t pretend like they didn’t honor him contemporaneously.

I felt like the scene with the birds was one of those scenes that goes on too long, but then keeps going on so much longer that it becomes the right length. It started off about the metaphor and then became about how Lewis can’t innovate once a plan starts going wrong.

I find that with series that are slow-developing, it all comes down to how much I trust the show. I would actually describe Punisher as perfectly-paced...as long as it all pays off in the end. (And I trust that it will.) If it ends up going nowhere, then it wasted my time.

Literally the only thing on the list I wondered about, too.

So...a friend gave me a tape of one of Zappa’s compilation albums, and I ended up using that as my study music for the year I was studying for the CPA exam. (I find that music that breaks standard rhythmic structures works *really well* when I’m working with numbers.) So ever since, whenever I hear Zappa it makes me…

Sherrod Brown, perhaps.
