I had to tweak some settings on my PC and lower the output to 720p but mine seems to work pretty well with that.

- Comment on Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"? 4 months ago:
If an Englishman uses ‘soccer’ he’s almost certainly from the upper class.
As “soccer” was played by the elite (such as the Oxford lad who is said to have coined “soccer”), it soon spread to the working classes, and became “football”.

I really have no interest in Michael Lewis. He only writes about people he likes and usually fails to analyse their actions critically.

My guess. Dud was just totally disconnected from reality. He isn’t that smart and didn’t understand how badly he’d fucked up.

I had to work on a few TAC client reports a few years back. The descriptions of children’s bodies after being hot by a car will haunt me to my dying day. My heart breaks for everyone involved.

- Comment on Remember when Target blamed theft for closing stores? It's all lies. 6 months ago:
Every mention of Organized Retail Crime can be traced back to the National Retail Federation and their ORC reports.
cdn.nrf.com/…/NRF-K2OrganizedRetailCrimeReportFin…
Here’s how they define ORC
“The violation of a state prohibition on retail merchandise theft or shoplifting, if the violation consists of the theft of quantities of items that would not normally be purchased for personal use or consumption and for the purpose of reselling the items or for reentering the items into commerce;.” Okay, you’ve lumped two very different crimes together there, and also most theft is for reselling… I’m not stealing car radios for personal use…
Okay but if that’s your definition where are the stats coming from…The report states clearly “Although the above general definition of ORC is widely accepted, there is a lack of consensus among retailers, law enforcement officials and researchers on various aspects of crimes that constitute ORC.” Great so even though you’re saying it’s a problem, you haven’t even been able to agree what the problem actually is.
Fine well if that’s the data why is everyone so worried about it now…
“The National Retail Federation’s Retail Security Survey between 2020 and 2022 reported annual increases in ORC activity at their stores and retailers reported the number of ORC incidents increased by an average of 26.5% in 2021” wait you’re comparing it to 2020 and 2021? When the whole world was in a fucking lockdown? Yeah I bet it looks like a big increase, I bet there’s also been a big increase in the amount of daily foot traffic in retail outlets.

You’re kind of not wrong. Collins Foods have just written of a $36.7 million impairment against the Taco Bell business, with Taco Bell stores posting a same-store sales decline of 4.8 per cent for the year.

I’m waiting for the inevitable Carl’s Jr implosion, no way those restaurants are sustainable businesses.
