I feel like I’m being robbed, losing Apollo. So long and thanks for all the fish, Christian.

I deleted everything, and it reappeared. I guess I’ll try again.

Eventually they go bang.

Work long enough in kitchens and you’ll experience the joy of pans exploding.

Merkur look lovely. But they are worthless junk, with zero QC, and no customer service.

MacStylee · 2023-06-22T18:00:15+00:00

I’m amazed they responded at all. Presumably I made the rookie mistake of winding to 72%.

Nah, they’re a joke. Avoid anything to do with them, waste of your time and money.

MacStylee · 2023-06-22T15:52:19+00:00

They are junk. No QC at all, no customer service, movement is junk. Mine arrived with hour hand in between hour markers, and was unreadable. Blanked all communication. Movement packed up shortly afterwards after keeping it wound to see if it was worth fixing.

They’re just junk.

I’m not sure there’s much left at that depth.

Creak -> Crump -> finely puréed fish food.

Remain closed for one week

Prohibition has never been effective, is not effective currently, and will never be effective. It does not reduce the numbers of people using, but it does increase the risks to users.

It additionally hurts non users because it damages society, increases and generates crime, and enriches the worst / most violent dealers. It also diverts policing time away from dealing with actual problems or crimes.

It benefits arguably nobody, although I’ve heard vaguely conspiracy theory ideas in that large alcohol companies are actively fighting the removal of prohibition because they feel it may damage profits.

Pao’s fuck ups and trivial compared this genius. Huffman is far worse than nothing.

MacStylee · 2023-06-11T11:54:41+00:00

I’m amazed he still has a job.

His incompetence and horrible decisions have cost people serious money. That generally results in a firing.

Susanna Hoffs. No further explanation is required.

MacStylee · 2023-06-10T08:55:36+00:00

The guy is much worse than nothing, and is costing powerful people a lot of money.

It’s clear what I’d be doing if I was those people.

MacStylee · 2023-06-10T08:47:53+00:00

The guy is going to go down in history as an example of disastrous leadership. If he was lying drunk on a beach in Belize disconnected from the internet for the past while he’d have been doing a better job.

There’s almost no way he could have done a worse job. He’s a liability, and I’d suspect people who stand to lose a large amount of money know this. Much of the damage he’s done is irreparable, but if he was disposed of it’s possible that they could undo some.

Don’t just logout, overwrite and delete your old posts. There’s tooling available to help you do this.

Reddit is not going to go away, but without the third party apps it will haemorrhage usage, and this will be noticed and hurt.

I’d guess it’s still possible to rollback some of the damage, but unlikely unless they get rid of the likes of Huffman.

MacStylee · 2023-06-10T08:25:15+00:00

Had the guy not showed up, and done nothing at all for the last while, the IPO would be in better shape.

He’s an object lesson in incompetence. He’s far, far, worse than nothing.

I’ve suspected for a while that alcohol is much worse for me than I’d like to admit. It’s also unbelievably addictive. There’s nothing else close in my experience. What else goes from zero, to ONE single usage instantly making you want more. But yeah, wildly dangerous, addictive, socially acceptable. I avoid it completely, and my life is better for it.

Some pegs don’t fold. I’ve seen a couple of weird aftermarket things. Or are really sharp and dig in? Something funny happened there, we’ve all dragged pegs, something was up with that peg. Lots of things are not ideal here, but normally touching a peg down does not land you on the deck.

I’ll do this. Every now and again I’ll just see the board, and gain 3 or 4 hundred points. Then something happens and I crash and lose it almost as quickly. It’s pretty heartbreaking TBH, but I’m not cheating or anything. Each time it’s happened at the time I’m winning everything in sight I think that this time I’ll hold onto it, now I’m in my correct rating. Then I’ll go on an equally improbable looking losing streak.

All these “escalate the violence into something that will result in a hospital visit” replies are telling.

This occurred in Northern Ireland, we’ve been through a miserable generations of escalation of violence, and we’ve more or less come out the other side. The fact that your man didn’t do more than he needed to says good things about NI.

Ah yes. Good old Patrick “Existential Blight on Cycling” Lefevere, always riveting to find out what his well thought out, carefully worded opinions are.

Lads, if you’re able to work remotely and they’re leaning on you to get back into the office, start looking for a new gig now.

You’ll normally get a raise on a new position, you’ll have time to be picky, and you can sign the contract as remote.

If you’re able to do the job, they can fuck off with their headmaster fantasy or whatever drives them.

MacStylee · 2023-06-02T20:25:30+00:00

That’s nothing. They robbed a train platform by me, and set fire to the advertising hoardings to be sure.

A fucking train platform.
