I felt sorry for you until you mentioned the Browns. Now I feel really sorry for you. Browns Bros Untied!

Where I live now (Philly suburb) there used to be a local bakery which was beloved, but their landlord raised their rent on them and they had to shut down. The location then sat vacant for about 7 years. I'm no finance wizard, but how does it make any sense to go from whatever their rent was previously to zero fucking rental income? A couple of months ago a fucking Wonder finally opened there, so maybe that explains it -- no real business can possibly compete with a company burning through venture capital.

The new GoBlo Yourself.

Needs more snails.

They're still a thing everywhere in Louisiana. They put a piece of scotch tape over the lid which of course is just a completely unsolvable puzzle until you get home with it.

Corporations hire masses of people to create the illusion of growth. Then they fire masses of people to create the illusion of competence. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum.

I mean, Henry VIII spun off the Anglican church so he could properly call it a biscuit.

No, he actually showed me the article later. It was remarkable because it never said what an API actually was, or even stated what the initials stood for. In my memory it seems like it was obviously written by AI, but it couldn't have been 16 years ago (as far as I know).

"OK, whose butthole do we use for the logo?"

I had a boss who read an article about APIs and then came to me and ordered me to start using them. I said I would research it and he went away and never mentioned it again. This was in 2010.

Caliper brakes? I'll bet that thing didn't even cost ten grand -- embarrassment to cycling.
