I definitely remember hearing "Here put this helmet and [thick] jacket on"... "Stay there and wait" etc

I was the younger brother. I was "willing" to do a lot of things I knew were bad ideas.

Lay off a bunch of folks at the FDA, then announce tariffs? WTF? If you want pharma's to onshore manufacturing, you need to provide them quicker review. So much stupidity.

First thing that came to my mind when I saw the question 'What is his life like?'

He dated Grace Jones

Amazon Prime is the only one that's been hard for me to kick...

The coopting of Norse culture is sad and fucked up, ~~but I'd bet dollars to donuts home dude in the pagan hoodie is an all out white supremacist.~~

Sounds like you are too blunt. Never tell them no. Listen to their problem and just reply with a 'Id have to look into that', or an 'I can come over when I get a chance'. If they persist, have a couple projects they can help you out with and tell them 'sorry Id love to help, but Im (going to the dump / painting the kitchen / gotta do seasonal yard work / etc). If they offer to help you, then you are kinda on the hook to help them. If they dont follow through... you can subtly bring it up (still gotta move that couch). You dont have to be a dick about it. It can be fun messing with folks.

According to Bloomberg, Johann Rupert told the conference to bear in mind that when the poor rise up, the middle classes won’t want to buy luxury goods for fear of exposing their wealth.

“How is society going to cope with structural unemployment and the envy, hatred and the social warfare?” he said. “We are destroying the middle classes at this stage and it will affect us. It’s unfair. So that’s what keeps me awake at night.”

... its almost comical how he thinks of this. The first thought is his businesses wont be able to sell luxury to anyone but the ultra wealthy.

I saw somewhere there exists a saying along the lines of 'start sauteing onion, add some garlic, then you figure out what you are going to cook.' When my wife and I have time to actually cook, this is basically what we do. everything is better with garlic and onions, from German to Korean. The rest is just details.

If y'all have worked with silicone oil, yea it works kinda like this (depending on viscosity).

It creeps up out of containers, it creeps up walls. It gets everywhere.

Naturally! Then add another clove for good luck. Plus those two cloves look small, better add another.
