I still can't believe that internet ads are considered a viable thing to do in any capacity.

Lockback posted:Digital coupons, job boards, craigslist/FB marketplace really took away probably the core reason so many people actually interacted with newspapers. For most, journalism was mostly window dressing. I dunno about this. Reading the paper was an every-morning activity, complete with swapping sections when people were done reading and stuff. I suppose this might not have been a typical experience. My neighbor from back home still mails me clippings from the Boston Globe that she thinks I might find interesting periodically.

Can we just ban all Porters in the NBA until we figure out what is going on?

Roth actually spoke on this on the last ep of The Distraction. Former pitcher Steve Carlton went full proto-Qanon after retiring, up to and including living fully off the grid and willingly giving interviews and sharing dozens of mutually conflicting conspiracy theories. This has always been a specific but rare archetype of humanity: the kook. Back in the day, getting this deep down the rabbit hole involved getting onto weird mailing lists, reading pamphlets and newsletters, and then writing to ads in the back of those mailings to get onto the really crazy poo poo. It took work, dedication, and literacy. Nowadays, its spoon fed. If you have even a slight tolerance or proclivity to what these idiots are selling, it is trivially easy to get and what you do get is highly optimized to drive you toward more. So yeah, we are broke brained from covid, biologically, pharmacologically, socially, economically. But also, we are rats in a cage with the cocaine lever in paw's reach. The rabbit hole has never been larger and now has a lubricated gradient leading in.

Crazy Ted posted:Thankfully the snowfall from the last two winters - the 22/23 mountain snowfall was the most in recorded history - has actually caused the reservoir and lake levels to go up, including the Great Salt Lake. I'm going to Logan, Utah next week for some stupid corporate growth summit/workshop and can't say I'm looking forward to it. Is there anything I should do while visiting?

Is dirty soda a Mormon thing or something? Like how they do super saturated sugar solutions as drinks?

I've always heard of the Fortified Soda thing referred to as Brigham's Brew. But that may be a specific varietal.

Crazy Ted posted:One thing I've learned here is that mountains never stop being really pretty if you didn't grow up near them and/or take them for granted. However, Idaho & Wyoming are pretty much flat, depressing, and really loving windy if you're on the Interstate. I remember going to Jackson Hole for a wedding and flying in late at night. Basically just checked in and went to bed. The next morning when I woke up, stepped outside, and saw all the mountains I was floored.
