  • I got real into Zero Punctuation about a decade ago, so I’d watch a load of 5 minute youtube videos back to back.

    It would serve me the same goddamn ad for a Mission Impossible movie between every one. The ad had this hateful nasally music that went “ready or not, here I come.”

    I have not paid for a movie ticket, a streaming service, or a new DVD or Blu-Ray since then. Brain surgery with a backhoe, cut your pineal gland off at the waist. Fuck your entire sector of industry, Tom Cruise.





  • I’ve gone on this tirade plenty of times, but inches aren’t stupid. 12 inches to a foot makes a lot of sense for problems we’ve had to solve for millennia, because it’s 3 times a power of two. For things like woodoworking it actually makes more sense than the metric system.

    “But 10 deciliters in a liter” Using a tape measure, mark out 1/3rd of the thickness of a standard 19mm sheet of plywood. I’ll be over here doing the same with 3/4" plywood by marking at 1/4".

    Maybe we shouldn’t be selling Europe any weapons that work.
