The weird man-lifts used to get a side eye from me

I really wasn't with the initial comment elsewhere. Oldish brain full of too much stuff shortcutted a real vague memory straight to "yeah that guy Tim Apple" lol

Not quite invisible but you could also splash and wade into a pool of strong acid thinking it was water, during what first seemed like a somewhat routine FUBAR maintenance situation...filling your boots etc.

Hmm nah, "Tim Cook"? I don't think that's right, pretty sure it's Tim Apple...

(tries to save face by pretending to double down on the "silly joke")

Thanks, really worried for a few there that I was cracking up

Wait a minute...

Crap DOUBLE WAIT I'm now realizing Tim Apple wasn't a real guy's name, dammit RIP my other comment

Wait is "Tim Onion" a silly joke riffing on Tim Apple (think that's his name) at Apple?

But don't you see?! Those increased expenses will just be passed along to the scammed!

(No actual point here just thought it was funny to compare to the logic we hear for not punishing other abusive businesses)

Blech, I've heard stories in my industrial automation days of people being clipped by invisible high pressure steam leaks. No frickin thank you, regular stovetop steam jacks me up frequently enough.

More gut bacteria for the rest of us, that's what I say!

There's precedent for it, that's exactly the (thankfully moronic) dumb shit that happened the last time they had majorities like that. This feels different this time, with the Supreme Court and such, but who knows. Lotta self centered people imagining themselves on top...may amount to little. One can hope.
