They came out of nowhere and now they’re everywhere. How do they have the bandwidth to support all the hotlinking? Are IPOs coming back?

I dislike today.
Partially because the snow plow (which didn’t bother coming by until early afternoon) piled up a foot worth of ice in front of my driveway (which I had taken great efforts to clear mere hours ago) which I had to re-clear before I could get my car in the driveway. Partially because it’s [...]

I think Dick Wolf and his cronies at TNT have it in for me.

It’s plausible that the makers of razors have been secretly coordinating their product development with the makers of shaving cream. With personal hygiene industry being a multi-billion dollar industry, it is no small wonder that those sneaky shaving engineers have got it in for you.
