I remember a group of us gathered in the woods near one guy's house. There was some sort of stalk, vine, whatever, and this one kid swore you could get high by smoking it.
Several of the boys took some puffs. Me? Nah, I'm good.
A good number of those guys have/had substance use problems as they got older.

That was and is my impression. Our word assassin comes from the Turkish word for hashish. Johnny Turk would get him self all riled up on resin before a killing spree.
Boy is dark enough to be a Turk, and he has the pipe and the sword.

I think that's a big part of it, but I think we need to look at both sides of the ledger here. I think that the kindergarten forever mentality is so pervasive because our society has stopped demanding that people grow up and act responsibly.
There's no longer any clear rite of passage to act as a separator between childhood and adulthood. It's a concept that emerges spontaneously in cultures across the world. I think it's something we need.

I don't remember the gum, but I do recall the two different kinds of candy cigarettes. There were the ones that were just white candy, kind of chalky, with a little red paint on the tips to look like a lit cigarette.
The better ones were the tubes of chocolate, each one inside a paper sleeve, packaged in a box that looked like the Camel pack. To this day when I read a story in which cigarettes are mentioned as a form of payment or exchange, I think of those.

We bought a cheap hookah at a flea market, removed the bowl (which held about a quarter of an ounce of marijuana) and attached it to the fermenting cap.
We then drilled holes in the side of the carboy and insert fitting to which we attached lengths of rubber gas line which I had leftover from a car repair project.
We would fill the carboy about half way with water and then everybody would inhale until the rest of the carboy was full of pot smoke.
At that point we would pop the top off, somebody would get down over the top of the carboy and we would blow a shotgun hit out of the top.
The recipient would often times pass out from inhaling so much pot smoke and from lack of oxygen. In this way, we were able to get really f*cked up from $30 a quarter ounce, Mexican brick weed.
Those were simpler times. Back before America lost its morals and dignity.

They weren't. Roosevelt re-segregated the armed forces. They had started to integrate (not systematically, but progress was underway) after the Great War, but Roosevelt put an end to that during the buildup for WWII.

Take a stick as a "match," light it off the candle, light the pipe with the match.
Or, nowadays, take a butane lighter and light it off the candle, so you don't develop "Subcutaneous Bic Wheel Calluses" from flicking. (Muldoon can tell you the # on that.)

My mom's neighbor friend is a COVID obsessive. She tracks cases every day and is wailing about the second wave.
I told her to ask about hospitalizations and fatalities. Spoiler alert: they aren't rising much, and rising much less quickly than the infection rate.
You don't want to get COVID by any means, but if you're outside of certain very vulnerable groups then it probably isn't going to kill you. These people focus just on cases and see an out-of-control problem.

Darius Leonard says that he was racially profiled and kicked out of the
restaurant after having a private conversation about Black Lives Matter
with his family.
He said that a white customer complained to the restaurant's manager,
who then kicked him and his party out based strictly on the man's
accusation.
Any evidence of what happened to Jussie Leonard or just the accusation is enough now to get someone to lose their job?

Seriously, it is the EXACT SAME PLAYBOOK as 2016:
* Polls (man made prediction models to control human behavior) all with Trump down 7-12 pt.
* "Republicans" (like Colin Powell, Carly Fiorina) all coming out and bravely endorsing the Dem because Trump is "dangerous"
* Dems saying Trump will not accept the results of the election (in truth, Dems are the *only* ones who refuse to accept the results of elections)
They literally are doing everything the same except THIS time they're hysterical and burning down Dem run cities and knocking over statutes of George Washington.

I worked at a small manufacturing company that tried to go from "build to stock" to "build to order" and it was a complete disaster.
The paperwork involved killed productivity because they tried to do everything "build to order."
Evidently, the geniuses involved in this plan were unaware of the fact that a paper trail for individual small parts wasn't a good idea.
By small parts, I mean stuff welded onto larger assemblies that could be picked up by the dozens in one hand.
And it didn't get any better for the larger assemblies because we'd have to do paperwork for individual final assemblies, final assemblies we normally turned out by the hundreds, but, were treating each one like a custom build.

They were getting around the ad blocker built into Brave last couple of days. They had a rainbow ad up every time I got on YT and got tired of it so tried clicking the 3 dots in the upper right. That brought up a dialog where I could say I didn't want to see anymore like it, and then the reason so I checked the button that said it was inappropriate. To my surprise I've not seen an ad for anything since. Too little time has passed to see if that solved it completely.

I maintain that the shape of the cumulative case curve and the duration would be remarkably similar for seasonal influenza if we followed the same testing and reporting strategy as was used for COVID-19.
Time course of influenza season is usually about four months, first uptick in November, then peak in January, tapering off into late March. (Dec,Jan,Feb,Mar).
Total numbers would also be within the same order of magnitude.

Inventory is cheap. Labor is expensive.
If more inventory saves on labor, then, you're probably ahead.
The trick is identifying what needs to be kept on hand and the inventory levels that should be maintained.

I just loved "Six Sigma" in software. Made no damn sense. It was targeted at - and effective for - manufacturing. Software development != manufacturing. There were other things that developed, but the industry spun its wheels for a decade trying to adapt manufacturing models to software.

So did we, in the late '60s. My high school was shaped like the capital letter E, and there was an unofficial designated spot outside between two of the arms, outside the gym. I didn't smoke then and still don't, but I used to see the guys (not always the "tough" guys or jocks) smoking out there. I wonder if there was a similar spot for the girls on the other side of the main bar of the E.

Yeah, the same small manufacturing company I worked out implemented ISO 9000.
I honestly couldn't believe they jettisoned the old method, because the old method was pretty much ISO 9000 only it was called, "quality control" instead of ISO 9000.
I always thought ISO 9000 was implemented in Europe as a way to keep American goods out of European markets without resorting to a tariff.

I have an old Escher print I want to get framed. Moebius Strip II. My wife hates it. I want it near our dart board. She wants it in the trash. I am surprised I still have it. It has great sentimental value for me so she relents.
Should it hang horizontally or vertically? It seems meant to hang vertically.

If more inventory saves on labor, then, you're probably ahead.
The trick is identifying what needs to be kept on hand and the inventory levels that should be maintained.
I always like to have a little wiggle room in inventory, around 10% more than I needed. Gave me time to gear up production and meet a customer's increased order at the same time. Most of the time it worked well.

You are talking about the small bottles used for Coleman stoves? Does some group there run a household hazardous waste collection on a regular basis?
I have often wished there was a gravel pit nearby to which I could take them and use them for target practice. No such luck.
There is a device on the market which would allow you to refill them using a larger propane cylinder / tank such as those used for gas grills. No idea how well it works or if there are any safety issues for doing this.

OTOH, an empty shelf with a customer in front of it is an opportunity lost. Just-in-time is great from a theoretical perspective, but as someone who worked in retail management, it's not as great in practice where demand is often highly variable from day to day.

Because the VC and Board guys don't usually bring in MBAs to run all aspects of the business until after the first growth stage (which is meteoric) is petering out. Then they pivot to "effective management" and away from "innovation and market creation" and upshift on the M&A machine. Then they integrate the aquistions, "leverage the synergies" by laying off redundant HR/payroll folks, etc. and then cutting further.
It's fairly predictable. Some of it is necessary. But none of them seem to understand Price's Law and they often cut the wrong people.

Wronger.
Which also gives rise to "whatever creates the most value for a shareholder is the best thing for a company to do", whether or not the company actually survives.
The shareholder is the owner. The people the owner puts in charge of running things owe the owner the most value they can create. What are you, some sort of commie?

I have a framed picture on my wall, a 9x12 photo of two bears. It's fairly old, I guess, but I can't speculate on what decade.
It's one of those chintzy "3D" pictures that predate the holography that became a thing in the late 80s. The surface is a plastic "fresnel" lens, and when the viewer moves side to side, the image has the uncanny illusion of depth.
My question is: what are these prints called? I want to find more, but I have no idea what to search for.

I had an old semi-retired police friend in Michigan who had a business that took them and sliced them with an industrial band saw. Scrappers would take them sliced up. I think he drilled a couple holes in them first, with a very slow, water cooked drill press first, to ensure that no gas remained.
