Unkempt posted:There are so many live squirrels on my street but I've never seen a dead one. I suspect Mr Buffet may be killing the squirrels himself. Back in my early 20’s a hillbilly boss of mine at a summer job from West Virginia invited me over to hang out and get drunk one weekend. He ended up shooting a couple squirrels THROUGH his screen on his back porch with a 22 rifle. This was not a rural area. It was on a 4 lane main street on the west side of Cleveland. He was a sous chef prior to this job and he made squirrel stew. Maybe it was because I was drunk, but it was good as gently caress. His wife came home and she was none too pleased to find a bloody tarp sprawled out across their brand new light grey carpet. His wife was from Romania and not a hillbilly and huge uncomfortable fight ensued. I ended up taking a taxi to a nearby airport hotel and never was invited over again.

Nenonen posted:The Finnish word for money raha literally means a fur pelt, although the etymology comes from a Germanic loan word and is lost from current use. Especially squirrel pelts were used as money in the ancient times. Ten pelts were tikkuri and four tikkuris or 40 pelts were kiihtelys. Similarly in Iceland one word for money "fé" and the word for sheep "fé" are the same word i.e. "fé".

davidspackage posted:We just buy it from the Meat Man who rings our door, even though he really looks like Warren Buffet with a mustache The Meat Man was apparently a real thing in Baltimore, according to John Waters: quote:They knock on your door. You yell: Who is it? They yell: It’s the meat man. You open the door and say: I want three steaks, two pounds of hamburger and so on. Then they go out and shoplift it for you. You pay half of what it says on the label. They take orders around the neighborhood.

ante posted:Love to be sponsored by, uh, "Software" The company name is "Software AG", with AG being the German term for, basically, "stock traded company". The extra S is some sort of graphical decision. But yeah they started in 69 (nice) and managed to just name their software company "software". It has apparently worked out pretty well for them.

Software AG is B2B. Like most big German companies you'll never hear about them unless you work in some specific fields.

In futhark the F rune has the meaning of cattle and is also the source of the old english word for cattle and money "feoh" and also the modern word "fee" so I think this is pretty common among the germanic languages.

I did not know this I did know that the letter A comes from Phoenician aleph, which is a stylized ox head that got rotated upside down by the time the Latin alphabet came around

Drone_Fragger posted:The time cost involved in separating a squirrel carcass from its value is greater than the amount you could possibly make from it. You wouldnt walk past 5 bucks because it costs nothing to pick it up. But it costs 15 bucks in labour to prep a squirrel for sale so by walking past it you're saving 10 bucks. The implicit assumption is that the labor is stolen. Being rich is based on leveraging stolen labor.
