You can post about corn, apparently.

I door dashed for a bit between jobs. Never judged the customer unless they were exceptionally poor tippers. In my area, tip is only added on after service. One time it was pouring rain and this dude answered the door, told me how shitty it must be to deliver in that kind of weather, and then closed the door and no tip ever came through.

It was a big deal when it happened. Much of my family works in public education so there was definitely a big conversation about the administration’s lack of action.

It took some time for me to realize that not finding a continuous stream of new content was a feature and not a flaw. It meant that there was no algorithm feeding me an endless stream of crap in hopes of keeping me glued to the screen. It meant I could close the app and move on with my day and check back much later. That realization made me embrace it.

Last month when I went on vacation, I caught something while on the vacation. I would have sworn it was Covid or flu but tests came back negative. Just a bad viral infection. I guess those still exist.

I’m sure my fondness for that time is mostly nostalgia, but AIM was so kickass, man.

I actually just discovered that song by accident today lol. It was for a Venom movie? Weird collab but he’s always had a bit of the social commentary piece to him. This album just seems to be leaning more on the heavier sound.

Edit: OH! Hold the Line! I forgot about that one.

Grandson’s new album seems to be shaping up to have those tones. First released tracks hit them pretty pointedly. He’s not as refined as some of the artists you mentioned, though.

Absolutely love the COOP pillow too!

I’m from the North East so our proprietary eponym for them is “munchkins”

I loved the first 3 Burnout games. I HATED Paradise. I just greatly dislike open world racing games.

Because it’s not good at a single thing and yet tries to do everything. It’s slow, cumbersome, and poorly laid out in a way that discourages a productive workflow.

Microsoft rushed the hell out of it to ride that Zoom covid wave and never bothered to go back and figure out why not a single person you’ve ever met actually doesn’t mind it (nevermind likes it).

AOC backed an idea to build homes and the ln hand over ownership to tenant cooperatives or non-profit orgs. Seemed like a decent idea on the surface.

Mortgage rates coming down is not the answer. It’ll only drive up demand while supply stays the same. There is a major need for more supply. People will reply with the number of vacant units, but vacancy is a broad measure that ignores things like a house currently being sold and going through the closing process.

The country, as a whole, needs something like 6.5 million more housing units to meet demand at which point prices would come down.

It’s unfortunately not going to happen without government (local or federal) intervention.

This Freakonomics episode focuses more on rentals but the basic concepts are the same:

My wife is so excited for the snack wrap to come back.

Have to be honest…

I thought you were going to fool us with the “with ending” link.

That’s also the average looking 35 year old from that time period.

This has to be fake.

The whole doctor bit was great.
