"Oh come on Stego, surely scalpers are just the market's way of responding to a supply and demand mismatch. What's the harm?"

Oh I dunno, maybe robbing trucks known to frequent merchandise grading establishments and game stores for tchotchkes that are being artificially constrained specifically to drive up this sort of attention?

Seriously, I'm tired of giving companies a pass for scalpers. They create the situation in the first place by rushing product out as soon as possible before supplies can be normalized, or artificially limiting production runs just to maximize this sort of demand and "advertising".

Until there are consequences for this behavior, the scalping and robberies will continue.

1.5 million pounds of processed meat trashed because a warehouse cooler lost focus. The industrial cold chain remains an expensive, fragile postponement of inevitable rot.

Who needs an oven when that outlet could be used to power 2 UPS and a horrifically outdated ewaste server rack

I feel like such an adult after getting eight resolutions passed at a board meeting tonight 😅

I don’t lament that there are two function colors. But I do lament that we heve made them basically exclusive to each other.

My 15 y.o. today: In Model U.N. I'm representing Turkiye. We're in a tough spot because 80% of our energy resources come from Russia, very unpopular on the world stage, and 99% of our natural gas comes from there. We need to diversify our energy portfolio, obviously, but that has consequences for our relationship with Russia. We don't produce any energy to speak of or any big-value consumer goods for trade. We're kind of up shit creek. Now, if we could get some of our Middle Eastern neighbors...

Me at 15: Holy cow! Did you know A-Ha released a new album? I have it on cassette! And there's this really cute girl who might like it!

p.s. zero of what I attributed to my kid is made up. I blame her mother, a classics scholar. All she got from me was a love of silly music and the ability to take some mechanical things apart (but not usually put them back together).
