Because they're so darn cute, I like the headcannon that slimes in the Dragon Quest games aren't actually killed, they just liquefy and reform later and go about their business after the hero has left.

Starch is a chemical that can be used on clothing in order to make it more stiff. It's traditionally used on formal wear -- things like fancy shirts and dresses. Using A LOT of starch can make clothes too stiff, like Mooch's favorite sock here.

Based on the prices I looked up you could feed everyone on Earth 1,800 kcal of potatoes for one day for around 40 billion USD. So... lets do it! Global spud day! Don't ask me where to get a pot that big for boiling all them taters though.

There was a time computers had no punch cards, but switches.

Oh lord, the time I spent trying to get an Airport wifi card working on a dual-USB iBook in Slackware... shudder.

  1. Who writes an email directly to the CEO of their company, and
  2. Who would that email have to be from for the CEO to actually bother reading it?

I'm guessing it's not your rank-and-file type "people".

But who will the VPs yell at? It's no fun bitching out a robot.

No problem, I just need a rocket, 7.2 x 10^48 gallons of blue dye, and ten reliable men.

That's ok, I'll just take the rocket and the men, then.

I asked an executive this very question, and he said that the board was getting pressure from stock-holders to reduce headcounts, and justifying that pressure by pointing to other large companies who had already undertaken massive layoffs, and the resulting rise in their stock prices. In this way layoffs become a game of follow the leader -- or like a contagion. "Google just fired a third of their workforce, why are we doing that? We should do what they did, look how successful they are."

There's a few people keeping the practice alive, like Global Penfriends and etc. I don't know how many choose to use snail mail for it, but I know of people who for various reason enjoy physical correspondence. Probably most pen pals are using email these days -- although that's getting a little archaic now, too!

I have elderly relatives an ocean away from me and they absolutely refuse to text, so we talk via email. It's kind of like having a pen pal, sort of.

I think Lemmy has a massive dislike of anti-comedy. Oh well, can't please everybody.

I think I'll post some of Grant Snider's poetry comics, those should be popular! /s
