retrofuturist words and such occasionally with a poetic inclination

De danske deltagere i sprint distancerne ved atletik EM klarede sig pænt. De tilskrev alle en generende modvind, at det ikke gik endnu bedre. Det undrede mig lidt, for bedømt ud fra tv-billederne løb de i samme retning som deres modstandere.

I remember when someone tried to argue with me about this on here, saying it was survivorship bias, and not my own comparisons of the same brands' material quality and stitching over the past 30+ years. Anyway, yes shit is actually more poorly made now than it used to be even a short while ago.

Not your imagination: from backpacks to food, consumer goods are getting worse

Is it possible to avoid the continuing decline in quality of consumer products brought on by corporate greed?

Betelgeuse is quite a young star. But due to its composition it's about to explode and go supernova. About to, here means probably not tomorrow but definitely within 100,000 years. Betelgeuse is roughly 600 lightyears away. When it explodes Earth will experience weeks of daylight at night.

This is where the trail ends. Not an explanation in sight. If this is a quest for clarity one option might be to find where the trail began. I will consider the wisdom of that course of action. For quite a while I suspect.

I lack for nothing money arrives like dust on a surface that you didn't look at for a day and a half and so - of course does dust I could sleep more on certain kinds of nights but mostly things are tolerable I do however reserve the right to occasionally bitch about my damn knees

Sportskommentatorer med diverse udtaleproblemer er en jævnlig kilde til frustration her i stuen. Men en dansk kommentator der fejludtaler to langelandske bynavne, kræver fandme en ekstra dose blodtryksdæmpende. ☹️
