So, I guess I need to call into the next PASSHE board of governor's meeting and ask when they'll admit that consolidation was a total failure, and when they plan to quit trying to make fetch happen. I shit you not, they were bragging about how new students only know this stupid brand.
I didn't think it was possible to make the logo 'Option C' from the 2022 rebrand —which looked like the logo for a healthcare system or insurance company— look good, but here we are.
New logo by the way. Incredible isn't it? Couldn't have designed something more forgettable and generic if you tried. Fucking University Of Phoenix has a more distinct logo and identity.
The free electricity isn't fucking happening, given this is his brilliant plan. Now, I'm not a genius MBA businessman... But the easy way to not get stuck paying for anyone else's power is to just build to generate exactly what's needed, or keep extra capacity incomplete until actually needed.
I'm not kidding that the $27 one has a QR code to 'validate it's authenticity'... It's a HDMI cord.
And to Chiaki's point, these are the packages on the shelf. Like, what are you really supposed to do here? Does it matter that the $27 has "gold plating" on the connector? What about "Triple layer shielding to prevent EMI noise"?
Me at work, since 7:30am. Thank fuck it's Friday and how the fuck are there 4.5 more hours in the work day...
The community our store serves skews older, so I likely deal with LED resistance a disproportionate amount. We actually get a lot of grumbling about bulbs not lasting the advertised 10 yrs. Since it's based on 3 hrs/day, it's just not realistic for half the year in northern Ohio.
..... Wait, is this actually a cult? Apparently it's a "Fat Farm", per the person in charge. So, yeah.... Yeah.
You know, it's crazy how they'd just let you smoke inside places with fucking $450 clothes for sale. And it's 1973, so that's like $4,000 dress today.
Turns out this poster would have been very valuable in the war planning room.
Unfortunately food is under Food and Drug Administration (FDA) / US Dept of Agriculture... They have a list of who's responsible for the things they aren't responsible for. It's actually interesting to read. www.cpsc.gov/Regulations-...
Attention Brayan Rocchio, please pick up your bunting competency card the next time you're at Progressive Field. Good job, keep it up.
I shit you not she called it "the wireless". The programme host pointed out how nobody calls it that now.
I'm watching "Endeavour", and there's some woman campaigning against indecency on television and "the wireless". And I shit you not she just made a remark about the music being too loud- LADY YOUR WIRELESS HAS A VOLUME KNOB. USE IT.
I "love" that the junior detective in series 1 of "George Gently" is a fucking idiot. This stupid fuck tried to be clever to catch a suspect paying a bribe to get sent back to Germany... First he doesn't tell Gently that he's doing this, and looks like he's bent when Gently confronts him over it.
There's a mid-1990s era Railtrack Plc coffee mug with "Putting Safety First" in quotations marks, which in hindsight was depressingly on point for Railtrack.
Alright, just got done with a 4 hour shift at the hardware store, let's see how things are goin- Ah, see we're doin' the thing where all hell broke loose again when I was at work.
Everyone's reaction to every time Playstation opened its mouth this week:
For anyone who ever wonders why I hate Daniel Greenstein, it's because I'm positive (but can't prove it without a very expensive study) that he fucked PASSHE in 2021 when he ran his mouth in a Pennsylvania Senate Appropriations Committee hearing.
You can't overstate how fucking stupid PASSHE leadership is. It's actually impossible. Turns out our plan was awful and didn't accomplish any of its goals.
Everyone who said consolidation was a dogshit plan continues to be proven right. Daniel Greenstein should be forced to disgorge every penny he was paid for being chancellor (PASSHE).
Oh, that one is much fancier and I could kinda respect us carrying as a special seasonal item, because it isn't something we already sell. No, we got these... We sell these exact same bins in blue (except the 106 qt one)
Me, watching the Guardians game tonight: Final: 3-9. Loss.
Now I just want to make a bunch of these in the stylings of the various British Rail track safety competency card designs, because it's me and it all somehow relates back to British Rail at this point.
