  • I don’t doubt what you’re saying.

    This all assumes that businesses and consumers can absorb the bump in prices due to the lack of a better deal. There are going to be plenty of construction contracts that Just Won’t Happen because they won’t be able to get the building materials they need to actually build something for a price that someone is willing to pay. That’s the kind of thing that can wreck a bottom line.





  • How night and day work above the Arctic Circle.

    Movies and TV and stories talk about how there’s 6 months of daylight and 6 months of darkness. That does not fucking happen. This is still part of storytelling to this day (I’m looking at you, Sweet Tooth season 3).

    Days get stupidly long in the summer, and there’s a while where the sun really doesn’t go down. in the Winter days get stupidly short, and there’s a while where it doesn’t really come up all that much. But it’s not 6 months of one and 6 months of the other.

  • People make out it is some sort of factually wrong documentary

    Say what you will about stupid people, but I have to tell you this: I’ve had more than a few people tell me they did not wear seat belts because “the Dukes never wore seat belts”

    I am not even fucking kidding about this. It’s not just about people today treating this TV show like it was a depiction of reality, it’s about people at the time doing the exact same thing.
