Boy, it must be nice to be "too big to fail" like GM.

How can anything be "too big to fail"?
You suck, you fail. What else is there?

Dudes. I just finished making a batch of butter pecan fudge. And I made two batches of white chocolate cranberry walnut fudge yesterday. And am on track to make some chocolate fudge tomorrow.

The prime eating/over indulgent season is here.

I'm going to go gain 10-15 lbs now.

I don't gain as much weight between Christmas and New Year, as I gain between New Year and Christmas.

My pancreas just cramped up reading this.

At least the War on Xmas™ is going well.

The good news is that I haven't been inundated with Christmas music on every radio channel while driving my car.

The bad news is that is because the Christmas music has been DDoS'd by Adele's "Hello" song. :facepalm:Yeah, great singer, OK, but I flipped through 6 channels this morning and they were ALL Adele.

Can't they cook up some sort of rationing system?

This is the system. You hear it so often, that you get deaf on it.

The problem is: The monkeys who make the radio programs today are not the smartest monkeys at all. You quickly get the impression that except Adele, there is no noteworthy music in the world - in reality, it is just the urge to press as much Adele into every hour of the day, and have only 55 minutes left for the rest including ads and annoying talking.

There is a good reason why BFBS got very popular in northern Germany in the past two decades.

Indeed. Sometimes I wish I weren't such a smart monkey, as it seems the less smart monkeys are easier to amuse and are content to be so.

Welcome to North America :lol:

Basically, a very large number of well-paying jobs are held by GM employees in north america, a lot held by Baby Boomers who also vote in very large numbers. If a company like GM goes under, it also would dry up business with other companies that contract parts and things like that for GM. The concern was that if GM collapsed, it would take those other companies with it, and in turn damage the overall economy by its laid off employees not being able to buy things.

What always irked me about it was that GM continued as one distinct entity after the bailout. The need for a bailout proved that GM wasn't a stable organization as it was, so shouldn't bailout monies be provided on the condition that the larger company be broken up into smaller ones?

Pfft, smart monkeys impossible to amuse. I try to make jokes about vector calculus, but I always get blank stares at the end.

The old joke with the two dimensional cross product?

When you get "Adele - Hello" and the two same song from that last Justin Bieber album... Then you know you should have turned that radio off a long time ago.

Like seriously. Do they only have the 5 same songs in their sound banks? I'm starting to think this isn't even the business being stupid... I'm starting to think this is everyone getting lazy here.

The only thing that saves me is the fact that here are several college radio stations in the area that play non-top 40 music. Some of it is off-the-charts weird, but that is preferable to the same mainstream stuff over and over and over again.

So people run the sticks through the spokes of the wheel of corporate life and death to prop up a bunch of stuffed corpse that allow them to pretend everything is fine and stable, while being completely unaware that as the wheel will keep on turning it would snap all the sticks and swamp the world in rotten flesh and pus from all the giant scarecrows collapsing all at once, instead of being buried one at a time with care and concern for fertilizing soil under the freshly grown generation?

About like that. Maybe a bit more gory.

Essentially it means that loosing thousands of jobs before an election is worse than loosing so many jobs afterwards.

I don't have 'indie' / college radio stations here... So it's me and my earbuds, listening to whatever Google Play is giving me. And it works quite well. No need for radio anymore.

Naw, actually original stuff,

"The best part about partial derivatives is that I can finally look at my calculus assignments and yell die, die, die"

not as much a vector calculus joke:

"Yo mommas so fat, we tried to use the squeeze theorem on her mass, but it broke"

I also came up with a joke stupid pickup line that relates to petrographic microscopes, but I don't think anyone here will get it.
