Niche show, but Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. Holy shit that was a great show and SO well written, but I can see why it wasn’t well received on a traditional TV format - if you didn’t watch from the beginning and keep watching to the end it wouldn’t make a lick of sense. Definitely meant to be enjoyed with a serious watch of an entire series and not episodically.
I would give my left foot for a Season 3.
The amount of flip flopping, technicalities, and multi-front nonsense attacks is making this increasingly hard to keep up with or parse.
Thank you VERY much for translating this shit into “burned out regular dumbass”-ese.
I think tariffs are generally applied based on date of customs arrival, not time of order - discussion on wine imports who order months+ in advance as well as some small businesses getting hit unexpectedly on long-ordered goods, plus my own industry that has a several month lead time on orders and some bills we have received. I’m less familiar with that mechanic but I don’t know that placing the order before that time will help you if it has to ship from overseas.
sweats in supply chain management
Bed sheet suspenders. Dumb problem, stupidly cheap, horribly made, and ABSOLUTELY fixed the friggin sheets being yanked off the corner of the bed twice a night by my tumble-dry-medium sleeper of a spouse.
When they finally broke after almost 2 years I sewed some that’ll last 10 years and I don’t regret them at all.
I believe tape is one of those words that used to have a more broad application, and then narrowed in on a new product.
I sew a bit, and “bias tape” is non-adhesive, thin strips of cloth used for hems and other edge applications. Measuring tapes likewise aren’t adhesive and have probably been around for about as long as measuring has - my old art history class is ticking my brain, reminding me of measuring rods and ropes being the symbols of power and rulership in extremely ancient Mesopotamian, Egyptian, etc art.
According to this link, it is indeed an old word that meant “thin strip of cloth used for tying, measuring, etc”. So it sounds like we’re just doing tape dirty by forgetting it’s one of the OGs of civilization.
