  • Baby steps.

    Yeah I’m sure there’s a new CEO now, but consider that whatever schmuck ends up in that chair next knows he’s taking over from a predecessor that was deposed for wildly unpopular policies at the helm to hold profits over people.

    Mr schmuck will definitely be sweating it when faced with similar decisions because fear of it affecting him personally, e.g. catching a bullet, is a real possibility. I guarantee you that thought has never crossed any of these CEOs minds before this happened.

    All the assassin did was force them to understand they have skin in the game.

    How badly do they want more money? How does the calculus shake out with this new variable of self preservation? Is it worth looking over your shoulder every time walking down the street?

    This is why people are arguing it’s the trolley problem

















  • I’m in the middle of it right now but I’ve got an old plug in oil heater that I decided to pop open the cover and have a look-see before condemning myself to buying another for probably $100ish.

    I am so far from comfortable working on electronics or woodworking or traditional guy stuff, but this radiator is old in the sense of it’s built like a brick shit house and hooked up to a simple mechanical switch with 3 wires, one of which is the power cord that finally disintegrated from the heat.

    It’s so simply built even I can feel confident swapping out for a new mechanical switch and some new wiring.
