Baskin-Robbins Preppy Mint (1982-circa 1984): A mix of pink, peppermint flavored ice cream and green, peppermint flavored ice cream, all loaded up with mint flakes. The name and marketing aesthetic reflected the popular "preppy" lifestyle and clothing style of the time

A sign from a Baskin-Robbins store with an image of an alligator in a pink polo, fancy watch, and pink/green/white plaid shorts and boater shoes, scarfing down a gallon of ice cream next to some bags from a college and a tennis racket. A duck decoy says "Super mint flavor that really fills the bill"

All this terraforming mars and the moon crap is actually just a cover, so they can create their own little survival island kingdoms when the environment goes to hell. They know what's coming, and they don't give a damn about the rest of us.

in 2016 Elon Musk said he would build a fully automated factory in Fremont, California for the upcoming Model 3 and he then spent on the order of $2 billion on production lines that didn't work, forcing Tesla to assemble cars by hand in a tent but sure, now he's gonna do it on the moon

Happy to be bringing Twitch, and therefore Amazon, down by being a silly little weirdo on the internet.

Twitch's Former Chief Product Officer says the Discovery and Ads teams were once at war over Feed impressions (solved), and that Twitch streams with fewer than 1000 viewers are dead weight (since entertainment economics runs on ad rates). Very interesting historical insight!

The comparison to his Twitch years is the sharpest part. At Twitch, a stream under a thousand viewers was dead weight, because entertainment economics run on CPMs — ad rates per thousand viewers. On Whatnot, a seller with 50 people in a stream is like a shoe-store owner with 50 people in the shop: "you'd literally never shut down the store." He felt the cultural difference in his second week, when a seller complained on camera that the seven-second "sudden death" auction timer was too slow and wanted three seconds. Two engineers in the office heard it, changed a config in real time, and told the seller to refresh the app. "I'm with my people," he remembers thinking.
