0·10 days agoNice, I hadn’t heard of this and will definitely give it a listen.
Intelligence Matters is another great podcast hosted by a former CIA director interviews a bunch of current and retired Intelligence officials about politics.
tweet is good, your body argument is completely wrong
1·17 days agoog was for drains in general at the time it was invented in the late 1700s, we didn’t even have flush toilets or anything more than cesspools, so there was no need to unclog blockages in household toilets.
The first one was wielded more like a hammer, so it really was just to knock shit loose from whatever hole it was in, apparently.
I definitely felt the same way about toilet plungers as you do until I used one.
until I… took the plunge?
If you clean a fish and toss a couple scales, bones and fish skin down the sink, it will clog.
in the states, where houses have garbage disposals, I don’t think sink clogs are much of a problem anymore.
but most countries don’t have garbage disposals, and the original plunger design was invented 250 years ago, before much of modern plumbing and pipe design and everything, so it was useful to have any kind of plunger around.
you can make those couple plungers work for the toilet in a lot of situations, but for the toilet specifically a toilet. plunger is going to make your job way easier without any mess and splashing
thank you.
art style and similar physical features had me thinking it was generational rather than simultaneous.
appreciate it.
sorry, drinking, can you help me out?
the 6th panel is chubby man’s son?
why is young couple from first panel in last panel?
i thought it was a generational story.
their dead brown dog is related to the white dog in panel 7?
I’d love to know how my drank messed me up, thanks.
haha.
oh management,
unnecessary avatar
Bidet for the win.
that’s cool, I love stories with aha and oh-whaaaat moments.
i like the smaller sink plungers also,very useful little guys
thanks for the write-up.
i knew something had happened there but only read half headlines.
Thats an amazing story and gokd to know, thanks for clarifying and condensing it for me.
have a good one!
no bidding, it’s history.
Intel has been that big for decades and has been left in the dust by TSMC for decades.
the US has repeatedly invested in “too big to fail” companies and has been rewarded with recessions, housing crises, national credit demotion, crippling healthcare costs, and rampant inflation.
if it’s too big to fail, it’s too big to exist.
“bet”, “next”, “will”, “if”, “plan”, “should”.
that’s a lot of faith to place in the unproven optimistically hypothetical next steps of a company way behind the firmly established innovation, dominance and reliability of TSMC semi fab.
the curve is firmly set by Taiwan, Intel is playing catch up at best.
Intel is just the right size to fail.
welp, good riddance to bad rubbish.
did they get antitrusted?
got it, thanks
I was hoping for a much higher quality, but they’re still kind of funny
