2 years later, somewhere in their sales and marketing departments:

“Hey, you know what would make us even more money?”

“No, but do tell”

“Advertising”

“Genius - how is it nobody has ever thought of this before?”

Roku somehow thinking that the Ferengi rules of acquisition was a how-to guide book.

Jeff Geerling discusses having done the same, in one of his videos.

What sort of cabling, do you suppose?

Strong Cable Support Infrastructure?

Wild. It was only just yesterday that I’d learned of the phrase “caused me to stumble” within a religious context, courtesy of the “in my super-fundamentalist church back in the nineties” guy on IG.

“This here’s the Lockpocking Lawyer, and today we’re going to take a closer look at the Flipper Zero….”

Orthogonal, but I have fond memories of the firewalls mailing list (greatcircle.com iirc) as well as the Usenet Oracle

Just wanted to throw something else into the discussion.

I’ll preface this that a) I’m no economist, and b) I’m Canadian.

Let’s harken back to circa 1996 when the Quebec separatists were once again threatening to leave. Also, they were going to keep the Canadian dollar as their currency.

I was having a chat with a coworker, who did have a minor in finance. He pointed out that if Quebec separated and kept the Cdn dollar, their fiscal policy would be dictated by Canada.

So reframing this for Texas: if they seceded, would they keep the USD? If not, how quickly would they be able to design their own currency and mint it? What exchange rate would they use for their citizens and how quickly could they get the new currency into the hands of everyone, including out in the boonies?

I’m completely glossing over any considerations around what might happen if they kept the USD.

As a somewhat recent arrival to NZ, I found it interesting — starting with our rental car — that the speed limit is displayed on your dashboard. It changes colour as soon as you go 1 km over the limit.

All very cool. The most notable issue with this is there are sections of roads where this doesn’t work at all.

That said, there is a LOT of traffic calming here.

There’s still the occasional assclown that goes way over the limit. Unsurprisingly, that usually happens on long, straight roads without traffic calming.

Completely random, and nothing to do with anything:

Mice, which stands for “money”, “ideology”, “coercion/compromise” and “ego”.

Yes, but you have to have a moustache and act like you speak Italian

FWIW I enjoyed your post. And yeah, quite the knack for shite friends/relationships :D

I did that for one neighbour in one apartment complex where we lived. Her laptop sucked ass beforehand.

Dunno about “usually”. Our last house was fairly nice, but didn’t have this sink feature. That said, you could walk around and see where the builder went for the cheapest option available.

That said, this kitchen sink feature should literally be the absolute minimum for consideration.
