If what you make requires *this* - it is not art. it is not creativity. there is no talent involved.
The number of accolades this dude got for so many years when it turns out that all he is/was is an efficient abuser.

Their FAQ says they have to buy in blocks of 10K to get that kind of discount, so a more challenging coordination problem for smaller orgs.

He worked for David Fairchild at USDA who brought in even more new plants. The Food Explorer by Daniel Stone is a good book about that whole business.

I'm actually peeved that I can't play the 2010s X-COM right now because Apple depreciated 32-bit software.

Anything up to IV is good, I tapped out at V when the complexity ramped up.

@beijingpalmer.bsky.social I'm listening to Peter Brown's autobiography and the opening about his extended family sounds kind of like the stories you've told about yours. Lots of folks going hither and yon.

Why U.S. Oil Refineries Aren't Upgraded to Maximize Domestic Oil The complex factors behind this issue and why upgrading refineries poses significant challenges.

every one of those "get out of your echo chamber" artists is someone who is very upset that you are not in their echo chamber fawning over them

I was recruited into an org trying to get high school students to do legit biology research because I stumbled across the founders and they roped me into making interior decorating decisions about their new headquarters.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Super frustrating to load a pre-packed column and see voids. The whole point of paying money is so that doesn’t happen.
