Maximum Tim
Like most humans, I like big, round numbers. I’ve had my Twitter account for years, and the Follower count blasted higher by the thousands without me even noticing. Then, for whatever reason, as it got close to 25,000…………..it slowed down. And I do mean SLOW. I have begged people repeatedly, both here and on tastylive, to sign up, and I’ll maybe ONE new follower a day, if that. It’s like the universe doesn’t want me to cross the magical 25,000 mark, even though I am literally 99.96% of the way there. Never mind……….I’m there!!

Leslie’s is Drowning
I’ve got a swimming pool at my house, and in that pool is a cleaning robot. For those of you who also own cleaning robots, you probably know they are made of a bunch of plastic parts which (i) break easily (ii) cost three cents to replace (iii) cost an insane amount of money at the store.
For most folks like me, when a part breaks, they just shrug their shoulders, trundle off to Leslie’s Pool Supply, and pay a ridiculous price just to deal with the damned thing. Again, this is just a plastic part that probably costs less than a dollar in materials to create.
