Season 1 was wonderful. The showrunner had initially written the pilot to get a job on Mad Men. It was eviscerated by critics for being too male, too masculine and seasons 2 onward pivoted into a girlboss series with Lee Pace's charact

A cashier will never speak down to me. As god as my witness I will crash this company with no survivors.

For the past year I've noticed their cashiers are oddly hostile. I've just not been digging the vibe of the store lately. I pay $60 for membership. You don't need to treat me like a potential criminal who may be using someone

You're right, of course. Our nation would never be lenient on white collar crime.

I met a lot of those in New York. They conflate crime, nuisance, feeling unsafe with 'heh, classic new york'. They're almost always transplants from other states.

I recall the wording being some sort of corporate-speak 'we've deemed this review not helpful to future guests' or something of the like. Sometimes I wonder how far I could have gotten taking Airbnb to small claims court. The

This was a concern of mine, so I purchased an induction stove. Also took it one step further by moving my entire kitchen to a covered outdoor patio. It seemed silly to be breathing oil particles for hours every time I cook chicken. Very gra

I wish it were possible grow a hive of native bees the way that we grow honeybees. I've put in local pollinating plants, set up bee hotels etc, but this only seem to attract commercial honeybees and not the natives.

Public utilities more commonly exist as oligopolies–not dissimilar to the social media market, in which the number of (major, national) firms can be counted on one hand.
