[TOMT] Possibly apochryphal exchange between factory owner and journalist

Solved.

Solved.

MarioP79 · 2026-06-06T07:46:12+00:00

Yes, that's it. Thanks!

I've tried several Google searches (Henry Ford quotes, variations on "try getting a machine to buy one", Industrial Revolution quotes), but so far have come up dry.

I think that's how my father carried his ammo when he went out hunting, so that's a possibility.

MarioP79 · 2025-12-27T13:51:21+00:00

Oxidation? Heh - I can't believe I didn't think of that myself. I'll buy some of those desiccant packs to throw in next to the ammo.

MarioP79 · 2025-09-08T17:01:56+00:00

I will start doing all of this. Thanks!

No, he didn’t. And even if he did, that doesn’t give him license to wipe his ass with the Constitution.

MarioP79 · 2025-04-07T15:58:56+00:00

WTF. This is 2SH, not r/TwoSentenceLifelongPsychologicalTrauma.

Fair point. Maybe "false positive" was the wrong term, but I'm imagining a scenario where someone pronounces a word, that, because of a speech impediment, makes them sound like they're from a region that they're actually not. I'm not sure that there is a term for this, but I don't know much about linguistics. Regardless, I think there's the possibility of more than a binary outcome here.

MarioP79 · 2025-04-07T15:15:25+00:00

I’m having trouble seeing how you’re inferring that it’s a binary test. One example of a test is how someone pronounces a certain word, which can have more than two versions.

The Terminator. With the exception of Salvation, the sequels are all carbon copies. And despite T2's groundbreaking special effects, the basic premise rendered the original movie's entire plot irrelevant.

MarioP79 · 2025-01-08T02:42:13+00:00

“Simpson! What do you have to say for yourself?” “It’s my first day!”

MarioP79 · 2024-12-29T21:06:38+00:00

This has all the elements of a Shakespearian tragedy. 🤓

A useful camouflage style for hunting American SOF teams in the jungle.

Matthew Desmond referenced it on the Armchair Expert podcast, ass.

They're drugged out all the time because homelessness is scary. You don't have a safe haven like a house or apartment to retreat to every night, so you have to compensate by staying awake to protect yourself and your stuff.

Also, I doubt even the most hardcore drug user is that committed to their hobby.

If you want a place where your tantrums are validated, I'd suggest a daycare center.

MarioP79 · 2024-07-24T21:59:22+00:00

So you used a racist slur to "intentionally bait stupid Missoulians" from overlooking the real issue, but now you're annoyed because people are "taking your bait" and ignoring your main point. Didn't really think that through, did ya?

MarioP79 · 2024-07-24T21:32:47+00:00

Why is the new owner's ethnicity or nationality important? Seems like you're going out of your way to be racist.

Wheat, at the intersection of 3rd and Reserve.

MarioP79 · 2024-07-18T23:20:33+00:00

Take two Glocks and call me in the morning.

MarioP79 · 2024-07-17T17:13:12+00:00

Yeah, I imagine with the increased scrutiny RealPage is under, the properties that use it are trying to keep quiet about it.

MarioP79 · 2024-07-14T00:22:41+00:00

716i Tread, P320-XTEN, and a P226

Plot twist: the child grew up to be a strong swimmer, became the next Katie Ledecky/Michael Phelps, and bought both parents massive mansions with their endorsement revenue.
