Wasn’t this guy hired to be some kind of poster-boy CEO because he has a highschool masturbation related injury that causes one of his arms to constantly ache? Why is he giving everyone business advice now?
I’ll have to dig it up tomorrow, but that was an illusion to a mountain climbing injury he sustained at some point earlier in life (to an arm) that left him in constant pain. He was able to function by mentally mastering the discomfort which he credited to meditation or something like that.
I believe it was an interview that aired on NPR at least 5 years ago.
I’m with you. When I saw The Saint as a kid it seemed like the perfect plan. Do crimes and retire when you hit 5 million ;-)
Seriously, I think it’s a widespread addiction. You see your nest-egg turn into millions and then billions… it’s got to be a rush.
I’ve “upgraded” my bimonthly gallon of the white stuff several times over the last 30 years and for at least the last 10 I’ve been fairly disappointed.
Consolidation within the dairy industry seems an obvious place to lay the blame.
I’ve flirted with the notion of paying $10/pint for fancy unpasteurized hippy-milk, but honestly I’m just afraid I’d end up liking it. Although the current bird flu situation has given me new excuses.
The quota system Canada uses seems interesting. I’m a fan of both pasteurization and small farms, which currently doesn’t seem to be an option where I live…
Also I love learning about weird measurements:
Ever since Congress passed the Dairy Act in the 1980s, farmers have been required to pay 15 cents per hundred-weight of milk (equivalent to a little less than 12 gallons) toward industry promotion programs overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or USDA.
Yeah… the butter board was kinda perfect. By the time I had scrolled down to the photo I was invested in the weirdness.
I’ve always smirked when I heard “Fluid Milk Processors Board” at the end of a commercial because it really makes them sound like a huge cartel of some kind. Turns out…
More than 200 people with diabetes have been injured when their insulin pumps shut down unexpectedly due to a problem with a connected mobile app, the US Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.
So 214 people let the battery on their (USB Rechargeable) insulin pump die and reported it to the FDA…
Then again Tandem is kind of a shitty company. They based their algorithm in part on data from insulin pumps that had been returned to the manufacture for a software update. Without consent.
Switched from an industry standard luer-lock connector to a proprietary one after purchase. Then required all supply ordering to go through their own sales department and a single manufacturer.
Camped on the design for a small portable pump they patented back in 2012 until there was a viable competitor with innovative technology.
You know what… I think I have a phone call to make :-)
At this point I’m assuming most if not all of these content deals are essentially retroactive. They already scrapped the content and found it useful enough to try and secure future use, or at least exclude competitors.
Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN (or the Tor Network), advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we now introduce DAITA....
Hum… this was one of the original reasons I signed up with them. I totally missed them dropping support. I’m not mad about it because I don’t torrent much anymore, but it’s still a pretty lame excuse.
I want all my services supporting maximum fuckery at all times as a matter of general principle.
I can’t honestly say I’ve ever had much trouble with it either. No trouble receiving files at least… there wasn’t much outbound traffic, but that could just have been a lack of interest :-)
I’m happy with Mulvad’s service and now that the initial shock and indignation is wearing off I’ll probably stick with them.
Besides I read about their new traffic obfuscation and I’ve got to give that a try. We need proactive innovation like that, now more than ever.
They just killed my nest cameras, but the thermostat is still supported. I was planning on replacing it with an ecobee this year just because API access is kind of a pain but this is giving me some second thoughts.
The big triangle shaped corner litter boxes can help a bit. I think the last one we had was branded Natures Miracle. Sorry your boy’s doing poorly, that sucks :-|
I hate pooping in the dark :-) I think one of the other comments probably tracks a bit more, good cats have an instinct to burry it and then scratch up the whole area so it’s less obvious they hid something.
Honestly crocodile box isn’t far off either. The bigger the box, the less chance anything winds up outside. Every time we got a bigger box it made cleanup a bit easier, the corner box fit the bill and has 2 high sides so no pee hits the wall :-)
