  • Sam Altman the infamous grifter? The same Altman whose foot in the door into the tech industry was inflating user numbers to get his app sold? That Sam Altman?

  • Prominent enough that as a kid I thought Obi had just been shrunk and they just left him there.

  • I worked around 18 wheelers for awhile. Eventually you develop a sense for who is going to be a problem driver before they've even fully pulled onto the lot.

    Obvious signs are the company they drive for. Some companies stress hiring competent drivers with good track records, others get theirs by training people with zero record. Condition of the tractor is another easy tell. Some states generally seemed to send worse drivers as well, for example we got a lot of bad drivers from IL.

    And then you've got how they pull inside in the first place. Missing the turn in, not a big deal. But missing the turn in when they were going 40mph? Did they fly or creep through the gates? Either side of the spectrum is a worry. Once through the gate were they able to follow the preponderance of signage and context clues to direct them where to go? How did they brake as they came to a stop? Speaking of brakes, do you smell theirs? Not a great sign if you do. Did you have to tell them to engage their air brakes?

    Then you've got the driver. Young driver? Not a good sign. Are they in a hurry or agitated in some way? Do they have a pet jumping all over their lap as they check in or a spouse/co driver they're fighting with? Music absolutely blasting to keep them awake? Is the driver acting like this is all new to them? How good is their english and are they going to be able to follow simple directions?

    And then you've got how they actually approach their dock. Wasn't a large lot, so some drivers before they've even started to back up have already put themselves in an unwinnable position just by the way they approached the dock. Did they decide to circle round the lot in a weird way? If they're having to back up at an angle did they choose the correct way, or are they trying it blind side for zero reason?

    If a driver started checking a few too many of those boxes, I knew they were going to do their best to hit something. You'd tell these drivers to open their windows, literally follow you around the lot and hand hold them as they backed up, and they'd still manage to hit something.

  • Because of how prominent the Honey I Shrunk The Kids stuff was at the time, as a kid I thought Obi had just been shrunk and they just left him there.

    Canon in my mind

  • If you eat enough at once, all the skin in your mouth will peel.

  • No mention of the 4 who sat out and where they're from?

  • Members of Congress shouldn't own stock, neither should Supreme Court Justices. It's effectively a life appointment, they are well compensated, and there's obvious conflicts of interest. Money and justice don't mix well.

  • One of my favorite WW2 accounts are those of the Germans facing the 92nd infantry. Really drives home just how out of touch racist ideologies are, and not just on the Nazi side.
