And yet they didn’t try the alternative measure of a pay cut for the person who gets paid the most to make decisions that makes sure this kind of stuff doesn’t happen Read more

Wen they say 'the economy' they mean they made less than 1% less than the previous year, and the line is supposed to always grow even though that's neither realistic nor feasible.  Read more

I can think of a no less pointless trend than the return of vinyl. Yes, “technically” vinyl can more accurately reproduce the original waveform of the recorded audio, but that’s only if you used a 100% analogue-only production pipeline. If at any point the audio was stored or processed digitally, that waveform detail… Read more

Or maybe the entire aspect of a vinyl-only release?  Whether it’s from the 80s and only ever came out on vinyl in a limited run, or if it’s from a modern producer who wants to make those tracks exclusive to the physical format.  I see more and more of this, and i love it honestly.  Almost all the records in my… Read more

I don't think Howard's bunker would be so bad if it wasn't for, you know, Howard. It was well stocked with food, entertainment, and Swamp Pop. It had a jukebox, for crying out loud! That alone makes me want to get onboard. Read more

Despite those earlier jobs, and layoffs, being driven by “contracts,” what the two industries mmay actually have in common are “culture.” And this culture may now include layoffs,… Read more

Wow, first directly imaged exoplanets, and they're in a galaxy on the other side of the universe? Incredible!! Read more

What is with this stupid idea that they should cut costs to meet the dividend? Why should regular employees, who had nothing to do with any strategy decisions, be forced to lose pay?
