    @Mik said in Ok that’s great….: 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 wouldn’t call that normal prepper behavior. His risk of being targeted is many orders of magnitude more than others.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in The Revolt: @Aqua-Letifer said in The Revolt: 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.
