    It'd be nice to vaporize their stock of weapons, yes.

    Then we could sell them some more.

    I need to get the latest Covid vax. But not really worried about it.

    Covid et al are still affecting our lives. A lifetime friend's mother's service was yesterday. We decided not to go due to the stuff going around. Going to Vegas Thursday and did not want to risk it.

    I can’t hear Fur Elise without mentally singing the McDonald’s commercial

    For me it’s Schroeder and Lucy.

    I wouldn’t call that normal prepper behavior. His risk of being targeted is many orders of magnitude more than others.

    It used to be, publishing was to blame for most of it. The self-help/daily-schedule-to-greatness section of the bookstore is one of the most competitive in terms of submissions. What people really like to hear is how complex problems can be easily solved by a framework that has a simple name. MBA dipshits read these books instead of real ones and it all trickles down from there.

    I was once forced to read a book entitled 'Who moved my cheese?', which I was informed was a profound piece of philosophical thinking. What it actually was was some dickhead writing this great long-winded parable about a bunch of fucking rodents, with the final message 'change happens, you need to accept it and move on'.

    Apparently this book has sold 30 million copies. I do know they gave one to every single person in the company.

    Anyway, my friend in sales opened his next meeting with the question 'OK, who cut the cheese?'

    I was given the same book and was told the very same about it. 😄 I remember thinking the intended readership must be 5th graders.

    Yup. I think you mentioned this before that the % of adminstration positions in colleges has increased a lot over the past few years.

    And a core drilled in 1966 in northwest Greenland suggests that that site was ice-free2 for an unknown period of time around 400,000 years ago.

    Thank goodness they stopped using fossil fuel 400,000 years ago so the ice could freeze again.

    Of course not, you’ll get the Michael Jackson drug.

    I can’t tell you how many times I heard that.
