This reminds me of the story I read once about Baseball Reference’s old link naming structure.

It was similar to this scheme, but it took the first five letters of the last name, and the first two of the first name. There were variants and workarounds for players with the same letters in their name, and such.

But then there was the result for Jewish player Kevin Youkilis…

It didn’t go out of business in '97, I was 1000% there for a birthday party in 2000 or 2001. It seems the company went bankrupt in 1997, and the assets were sold multiple times over the years. Locations stayed open, and, according to Google at least, there seems to be at least a couple left in Ohio, and California?

Either way, this took me down a nice nostalgia hole, very nice.

otherwise you don’t realise his movies are often in large part a collage of other movies.

Isn’t that the definition of filmmaking? All movies are just collages of influences, style, and form. All art is a remix on previous forms.

It’s okay to not like Tarantino, I don’t care much about that, but your argument doesn’t really hold up for me.

Gen Z, please talk to me: what management works and what does not?

I am an Xer who manages a small but crucial team at my workplace (in an EU country). I had a lady resign last week, and I have another who may be about to resign or I may have to let go due to low engagement. They are both Gen Z. Today it hit me: the five years I’ve been managing this department, the only people I’ve lost...

I work on a helpdesk, my phone rings around 8-12 times per day, and most calls are less than 10 minutes. I work a 7.5 hour shift, and at most am on the phone for an hour or so total on an average day. I’m also in an office cubicle farm, not working from home, or behind a series of closed doors.

Lately, between taking calls, I’ve been reading books, looking at my phone, practicing French, and watching episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation on my iPad. The upper management knows I, and my coworkers, kill time this way between calls.

We’re efficient problem solvers who get our jobs done with no issue, so the downtime is spent how we see fit.

George still running on those softs at lap 25 is nuts.

McLaren wtf Zack is so fucking pumped, proud of that guy. What a performance from Norris and Piastri.

Thank you so much.

I’m really in love with the lampshade in this one, personally. It turned out better than I could have imagined.

Thank you!

I thought my chest was going to cave in multiple times while watching this one.

I do agree, but it’s also had ads for a very long time.

Baratza Encore set to ~28 32oz French Press (making ~16oz at a time most days)

Best coffee I can reliably find locally is Counter Culture, which I learned to love when I was a batista for a year. I usually get the Apollo if it's fresh enough, but I also love their Gradient, Hologram, and Fast Forward. It's the only coffee around that has the roast date printed on the bag, and it's always less than a month old. I used to be able to find it less than a week old, but I guess the stock doesn't turn over fast enough.

I think the basic idea is that data collection is a form of uncompensated labor. The matter of what it's worth isn't the issue, but the fact of it being worth anything to anyone at all, and it being taken from you with little to no choice in the matter. Not to mention bought, sold, traded, etc.

Yes, a lot of it is tied to agreeing to a EULA, but we all know that just about anything we click on or do on our phones and computers is tracked, stored, sold, and used to make money in dozens/hundreds of ways, EULA or not.

I don’t think I’ve ever bought something because of an advertisement.

Side note, this is incredibly difficult to believe, tbh.
