Someday, everyone will be a lisp programmer and we'll finally fix natural language orthography with many, many more parentheses.

You know you’re dealing with a real jerk (me) when they say that supply restrictions and inefficiencies are the same thing

One amusing anecdote from The Courtier & The Heretic is that Leibniz’s nickname in Hanover was Leibt-Nix (Loves Nothing) because people thought he was an atheist (he never went to church in his adult life)

This is what Leibniz believed in

Always remarkable to remember that the us pandemic economic response was the single greatest economic policy of your lifetime

Personally I’d prefer more precision. It seems like the notion of “young person” is doing a lot of work here

I mean does it really matter how quickly I start. The forging is gonna take time anyway

I still think that it’s kind of funny that Raggedy Ann & Andy was made because the investors needed a new project after failing to invade Bolivia

Carl from Aqua teen hunger force standing in an elevator across from Asuka and Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion The caption reads in a fancy font: “It don’t matter. None o’ dis matters.” There is a tiny heart above it, and both the heart and the red text have a yellow outline around it.

That’s an estimate of the dolls thrown out from their storage facilities in the past few years, not total production, which is much higher.

Funko doesn’t give the count of dolls in their inventories that have been destroyed, but they had inventory mark-downs of $30-$40M over the past couple of years ($39M last year). If they value the dolls at ~20 each, that’s 3-4 million dolls in the past 2 years

My latest post on CVAR was named after Dante … Bruno. Vico … Joyce

Martin McDonagh should adapt “Waiting for Godot,” but make it Irish.

When I was in school, you could buy a double cheeseburger, small fries and small coke for three dollarydoos.

Fun tidbit about the history of McDonald pricing strategy: after Supersize Me made the supersize brand toxic, McDonalds corporate forced its franchisees to switch from an upselling strategy (Supersize) to a loss leading strategy (dollar menu), which certainly led to more cheeseburgers eaten.

Whoever is the new supplier for my local supermarket croissants: they’re too floury now

I think they would, that’s a 50% increase from the average price in Texas. In fact, I probably exaggerated with such an extreme price change

Probably $4

A serial comma literally would not improve this

“We’re watching a new take on Frankenstein, a lavish legal drama starring Kim Karsashian, and a Tracy Morgan-led spinoff.” Why would they name Kardashian’s show that?

The cheeseburger is a loss leader to entice the customer to buy higher margin items like fries and soda. Thank you for reading and stay safe out there
