Anyone else find it slightly annoying that the main picture Fortune chose for this article is a 2005 dime?
I wouldn’t worry too much… it will end up being at Madison Square Lawn and Garden anyway.
Love Penney’s! No physical store nearby, so I put in an order a couple times a year to restock the essentials. Their 4/S seasoned salt is the bomb and makes breakfast potatoes next level. They also always send free little goodie bags of various spice blends in our order that, if I was a more adventurous cook, I’m sure would be awesome.
“Where is the firewall?!?” Well put, Walz. Well put.
I love this! For anyone wondering, the author is Ian Hamilton Finley from his book Glasgow Beasts, an a Burd, Haw, an Inseks, an, Aw a Fush.
I think MST3K had the right idea:
“If you're wondering how he eats and breathes
And other science facts
Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show
I should really just relax"
Between $75-$120 a month, for two of us.
We pay an average of $22 for a 12 oz bag of the good stuff from local roasters (Temple or Chocolate Fish) and go through just over a bag a week. Work days we have 2 cups each, weekends we go all out and have 3. We buy whole beans, grind them at home, and exclusively use the Chemex. Sometimes when we pick up a bag at the shop we treat ourselves to a latte (stupidly expensive) and that bumps up the average.
I have a bright orange Subaru Crosstrek named Poppy.
I was sure it happened to the one you linked to, but in trying to replicate it now, I’m not getting the same result, so it must have been user error on my part. My apologies. The site was kinda buggy trying to load on mobile and you’re probably right— I’m guessing I clicked on something that sent me to a more recently archived version.
Unfortunately the archived article cuts off at the same place as the paywalled article.
I was, however, able to read it in full by copying your link to the original into a simple plain text converter (in this case I used txtify.it). Thanks for the article recommendation btw— I learned a lot!
Walmart and Sam’s Club.
You know you’re probably dealing with the baddies when the Criticism and Controversy section of your main article on Wikipedia grows to the point where it links to another Criticism of Walmart main article.
Reminds me of Trump and his… frustration with low-flow toilets.
“You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out, very quietly dripping out,” the President continued, lowering his voice as he spoke about the drips. “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.”
The car should be programmed to self-destruct or take out the passengers always.
Love illustrations like these!
Here’s an English translation of the folk tale this is from if you’re curious.
A proper country, where one-size-fits-all really meant one size fits all.
What a weird generalization to make. Maybe you’re referring to grocery stores, that have a small selection of beauty/health products.
My local Target here in the US (CA) was recently renovated to expand the body care section of the store, and now has two large distinct sections that obviously cater to specific genders:
The men’s section (deodorant, hair care, face wash, shaving supplies, etc.) is set apart by “wood” flooring, dark wooden display tables, and a kind of minimalist atmosphere. Several aisles away, the women’s section (hair care, makeup, face wash, nail care, etc.) is bright and colorful and chock-full of product signage.
