The first sign was extending car loan lengths to maximize interest return.

13 years ago The Verge constantly hyping “The Quantified Self” has resulted in this.

I think I put four to six beans in a 750mm bottle, the more you throw in the faster it goes. The cheapest thing I’ve got to give is time.

The solution will never be ending the obvious problem, but rather replacing windshields with giant LCDs using front mounted cameras or something.

If you want relatively inexpensive vanilla extract, buy a few vanilla beans and a bottle of vodka. Cut the beans to split them open and chuck them beans in the vodka. Forget about it for a year or so and then you’ll have enough vanilla extract for the next decade or three.

There is a great book by a journalist who was fired by WashPo to being “political” about their identity.

The View from Somewhere: Undoing the Myth of Journalistic Objectivity by Lewis Raven Wallace.

It is excellent and details why having a view from no perspective is damaging to minorities and others with disabilities, etc. We must have principles and speak about those in journalism. If we stand for nothing, we default to the status quo.

You see the urban infrastructure is there and then not there in the second. You’re quibbling over small details. They demolished 94 healthcare facilities ffs. They turned off the water, they said they would not allow them to grow their own food. They intended to starve the population while bombing them.

• Listening to some idiot salesman talk about his company’s extremely shitty SaaS product because your manager thought the email that the shit company sent him wasn’t the result of leads from data brokers selling email address data.

Nah but it is really stupid and wreckless behavior.

Update: A bill to regulate golf carts is now on the perfection docket.

I would not wear one and would never trust anyone that would.

Fortunately there are many many launchers from which to choose.

Despite the law being the other way.

The assholes generally take charge because they are self-aggrandizing assholes. I genuinely believe most people are good and trying to just get by. It is very hard to not be distracted by the mountains of daily life struggles one has to wade through because of the power hungry assholes.

We don’t live in a liberal society anymore.

And here I’m blaming bloated prolapsed anuses that talk through worm ventriloquism.

The NHL banned the use of 00 as a number in the 95-96 season because they claimed their databases couldn’t handle it. They still are fools because this continues to be a banned number to this day.
