Online sales can be brutal, just a warning. Amazon and the like have set a precedent that no local, independent seller can fulfill. Everyone wants free freight, and they expect their product in a day or two. They don't understand that not only does Amazon have its own national distribution network with centers everywhere, but Amazon doesn't make money on physical products that they sell. Selling shit online is a loss leader for Amazon. Small businesses can't eat the cost of that.

My company got an online order from someone 3000+ miles away on a Monday, to ship FedEx ground. She called us on Tuesday angry that she hasn't gotten it yet.

Our location is in the name of our company. It should be very clear that it will take more than a day to go that distance. You would think so, at least. She ended up canceling the order and we had to put everything away. Wasted easily an hour of company time for absolutely nothing.

Three times now I've been in Germany heading towards France. On every stop along the way people got more more rude. Anecdotal, I know, but god dammit.

Uh. Sure, Mack. The whole league is worried about y'all.

In my experience it's regional. Back home, a chode was a gooch. I moved, and all of a sudden a chode is a tuna-can dick.

It's like how a reach-around meant a completely different thing where I'm from.

Don't they know that work will set them free?

Are we sold on Shough? He was kinda impressive for a rookie, but are they building the team around him? They went into last season without a plan at QB and it kinda showed.

I'm pretty sure that corporate consolidation has led to nothing but positives, across the board. I can't think of a single negative consequence of five companies owning all media.

Yes, names like Smith, Schomaker and Tanner come from the family business.

Don't ask about the Dickinsons.

Has he never heard the old adage? If you have two starting quarterbacks, you have zero starting quarterbacks.

Nah. Just adding context.

Refused is a Swedish thrash punk band. They made a couple EPs and albums, then put out their magnum opus, The Shape of Punk to Come, and then immediately broke up. They did get back together a couple years ago, though.

Propagandhi is a Canadian post punk band. They've had a dozen different styles over the years, and nobody can agree on which they did best. Personality I like their heavy Thrash album best, Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes.
