Flex tape or other wet seal tape for hose repair.
Channel lock and a small mixed set of worm drive clamps.
Other things I don’t see mentioned: JB weld, RTV (silicone sealant), thread chasers, tire spoons, dialectric grease, all depends on the services you want to offer!
Not quite. I believe it’s intended as a reference to how smooth their brains are (proverbial crystal balls).
$100+ USD for a 6oz A5 wagyu steak. Certainly changes your perspective on the heights of quality for steak. I also paid $65 for a sashimi grade tuna Benedict at this place for brunch. No ragrets.
$60 for a 1/2 pour of an $1100 bottle of bourbon (rabbit hole amburana). It was a novelty and surprised me a lot. Definitely phenomenal, but a taste was all I needed. No ragrets.
Sam adams utopia (think it was $220 for the 750ml bottle of “beer”), not worth it, but a fun experience to share with other beer nerds.
There’s an apparently $1200 bottle of wine from a small napa vineyard with a wait-list for their wine in my basement right now we got as a gift. We’re gonna need to find a pro who can help us taste that. My wine taste tops out at about $30 a bottle.
One day I’ll do Omakase at a suitably awesome sushi place and wreck the credit card.
Did a senior paper 20 years ago marrying the concepts of naturalistic and normative epistemology.
The takeaway was that it doesn’t matter if you can’t actually prove that you know or don’t know anything. You have to live and have always lived as if you can/do know things.
Depends on the number of beads.
Also my favorite to use with the smart junior engineers who keep saying we should “just do ___.”
Here’s an easier one:
Won’t someone think of the shareholders?!
Yep, time to rebadge.
It has been a minute since I’ve seen Southland Tales. What a trip! Time for another rewatch.
Stellar list overall too!
With you. Love beer, cocktails, whisk(e)y, amaro, etc. And I really don’t like getting drunk (I do sometimes, but always regret it).
2-3/night is my usual. Usually a beer after work then another 1 or two throughout the evening. Add an afternoon beer or cocktail on the weekends. Well-spaced. Almost never more than 5 drinks in an entire day.
I spent an hour today on a webinar about how to optimize token usage with more than 500 other participants from the company I work for. Because billing is about to have its come-to-Jesus moment.
I’m definitely aware now. We’re global and that means even more overhead with multiple regulatory bodies. Our products are several years to their first market, and at least another year for the global rollout.
And I’m just over here writing software and trying to reduce toil for these insane people who hand-roll excel files like they’re databases and applications.
I left the tech world and now work for a medical device company. All I can say is I’m extremely happy to be working from home with the 3 hours of meetings and 1-2 hours of work I have each week. And the director wants to get me a junior because I’m managing so many projects. Hell, I’m actively drumming up work and it takes weeks for anything to happen.
Sure I took a bit of a pay cut, but I’m not on call 1 week a month and I’m not being run ragged everyday either.

I was all in on a 1080p tablet with micro sd card in 2012. And then it just shut off and never turned on again a few months out of warranty.
Then there was a Lenovo yoga tablet in 2014 with windows 8. The Intel atom processor was such a dog it just ended up being a solitaire screen and about nothing else.
Recently bought another cheap tablet for a different specific use case. We’ll see if this one is a POS.
For sure (our Volvo is 1 year too old to have the android automotive system and … It would be better). The Amazon effort that powers the Alexa + Ford sync business isn’t quite at that depth: it’s an API with always online “AI learning” stuff OEMs can integrate.
Ford has had Amazon Alexa built-in for something like 5 years …
Can confirm.
