Seriously, Netflix cancelled this show with a fucking vengeance. It’s not like the show was mid-season on cable tv, and they needed to tell viewers why it was suddenly replaced by a rerun of Big Bang Theory... they could’ve easily let it go for a while and killed it quietly further down the line. They really wanted to…

This goes way beyond shipping costs. This whole thing has opened up the eyes of companies to the consequences of adopting lean without mitigating against the bullwhip effect. This is what I’m always on about utilization rates. High utilization = high efficiency, but also extremely low disruption tolerance. Your…

This. It’s even worse when there’s no little red bar at the bottom that shows you’ve already watched it.

Any way to get Youtube to stop recommending videos that I’ve already watched? 

Just like underwear!

This is part of my issue. Most N95s come in packs of 20 or more and cost over $1/mask. I could spend $100 and find five different brands of masks which don’t fit me well. I’m single and live alone. That’s a lot of money to spend on masks which aren’t great. I’ve got some KN95s of questionable parentage but they seem…

Get out of here with that bullshit. We have had almost 2 years now to sort that out, going down to the store and buying an N95 isn’t going to cause some nurse to not have access to one. If people who need these for their jobs don’t have proper PPE by now it’s on their employer, not every day people looking to stay…

that would make too much sense, so no, denied.

Maybe not your fireplace. Mine is used for pre-heating ferro-titanium plates before shaping them onto ‘Mechs.

Whew. I was afraid you were going to tell me to stop tossing the extra fireworks in there. 

I was actually holding off on watching the show after seeing reports of how horrible some of the English subtitles are. I’m not totally fluent in Spanish, but I knew enough for it to be distracting while watching “Money Heist” (or rather “The House of Paper” which is the original, much better title to the show). It’s…

“Why do the Brits drink warm beer? They have Lucas refrigerators!”

As the old line goes:

How about one of these....

You can have my boulder fountain when you pry it from my cold, dead yard. Literally.

I’d like to see The Neverending Story statues ask a question before someone can pass through the main entrance.

I used to commute through a neighborhood in Dallas that used to be prime real estate but is now a bit past its prime. By the entry sidewalk of one hose, a pair of uncomfortably huge lions on pedestals appeared one spring. At about four feet tall, they overwhelmed the house completely and seemed very out of place. By…

Several years ago my wife and I kept coming home and finding garden gnomes in our garden. First it was just the one, but after a few weeks there were four of them. I eventually found out my mom had been buying them and coming over and putting them there when we weren’t home. It was kinda funny, really.

this whole show @ both me and you buddy

Josh Corman (Gordon-Levitt) is anxious, awkward around his public-school students, and unable to see the joy in the world around him.
