Halcyon Days. Someone let me know that the link was broken.

But the Internet Archive extension offered me to view it in the archive.

That only had a description - but then I could search for that expression and I got the correct link.

Thirteen years later … enjoy!


NY Payroll Company Vanishes With $35 Million … hard to believe isn’t it?


Use a pen to write on a piece of paper and explain how a flushing toilet works.

Take as long as you like, use as many words and pictures as needed.

Once done, realize how bad that explanation is and how little you really know about that topic.

Not mine - but source lost.


LATER : Maybe it was Feynman … thankyou @muncman



As I wrote when I read this about WeWork

Really,

”If SoftBank or JPMorgan executives had been honest”

is all you need.

Cory Doctorow today.

Scott Galloway in August and again this week.

Me last year  - on similar frauds that arise because of greed and band wagoning.


”SoftBank was reportedly considering propping up the IPO with $750 million in share purchases at the offering price. If that’s the case, shouldn’t they want to invest billions more at the now low-low 80%-off price? Or simply looking to pump and dump?”

Couldn’t understand whey BusyCal was on SetApp and not BusyContacts - that’s just changed.


Not saying that some kind of penalty isn’t deserved, but when will prison sentences be served on corporate leadership that are guilty of far worse. I’m looking at you Tim Sloan. And you Richard Sackler.

And is Devon eight times as bad as Felicity?

I thought Prius, Bolt and Tesla drivers were so self righteous and entitled that it explained why they didn’t indicate before, during or after any manouver … but no … it’s because they think they are saving battery life so they can drive further with a single charge.

It’s a joke people ….


A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.

Into the job, he notices all monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the Old Abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies. The head monk says, “We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son.” He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as archives, in a locked vault that hasn’t been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the Old Abbot.

So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing. They missed the R! They missed the R! They missed the bloody R!" His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old Abbot, “What’s wrong, father?”

With a choking voice, the old Abbot replies, “The word was CELEBRATE!”


Thankyou to Ajay Sanghani
