07:53 – Happy New Year
The science kit business is slow. Not a single order so far this year. I’ll be doing end-of-year/beginning-of-year stuff today, as well as helping Barbara clean the den and kitchen.

Not a single order so far this year.
Wow! Eight hours into the year and not a single one? That does not bode well for the other 8,752 hours left in the year…
Hah! Spoke too soon. We’ve now had a massive two kit orders so far this year.
Two kits in nine hours means 1991 kits in 8960 hours if this trend continues. But of course synergistic effects mean we’ll have an exponential curve, which we can project to 2500 kits as a lower bound by the end of the year and infinite kits as an upper bound. You’d best get building.
Nah. Selling 1,000 kits/year will keep us very busy. As I’ve said, I don’t want to hire employees or rent business space.
Your refusal to heed the results of my previous comments makes you sound like a Denialist. The mathematics is settled! No, you can’t see the raw data or algorithms by which I came to my conclusions. Denialists don’t deserve to see them.

We need to get a law passed requiring him to publicly admit the truth of your Super Ultra Top Secret calculations. We’ll get a rider added to it to increase your funding, while we’re at it.
Where’s my list of stupid Congress Critters?
“Where’s my list of stupid Congress Critters?”
Just google up the current directory of all 435 of them.
Besides Mr. SteveB’s recommendations, we need to organize protests in front of the denier’s house and block off his street. Also gotta block his tweets and posts from our site.
We should shame him! Deniershaming!
Make a donation to some charity he despises, like the Get Math the Hell out of Our Schools Foundation. No, wait. He’s a denialist, but I’m not sure if he’s denying math or my use of math. Dammit! This social justice crap is hard! I need a latte and I need to listen to some Connor Oberst so that I can recover from RBT’s denialist microaggression.
Stealing: “denialist microaggression.” As opposed to “denialist hyperaggression.”
I had to look up this Oberst fellow; he needs to be assigned to a re-education labor battalion forthwith.

“It’s All Over Bar the Shouting – Kate Paulk”

“But not for us. For the SJW crowd. Yes, there will be a lot of really ugly shouting, and some of the people who are incorrectly labeled vertebrates will probably buy into the screaming and hand the SJWs whatever equipment they possess.”
Took me a while to realize SJW = Social Justice Warrior.
And I like Hoyt’s comment: “BTW, I disagree with Kate. We should consider legalizing prostitution. After all, politicians go free in the light of day. One of these professions deserves to be in jail, and it ain’t the hos.*”.
Hey, has anyone bought this to organize their pantry or is it just another space occupier?

Wow, that is pretty expensive for a piece of plastic.
The “cansolidator” – my dad built something much like that. You just need two sloped pieces of plywood in a simple frame. A third piece if you want a top so that you can stack the things. Not hard, if you’re into that kind of thing, and the materials cost would be pretty small.
RBT – this discussion on the “cansolidator” could lead to the concept of a follow on for you prepper book. A “Maker” book on building things like the “cansolidator”. Kind of like the magazine “Family Handyman”, but for preppers.
Every time I come across a device called “The something-or”, I think it’s a sex toy. The Dominator, the Devastator, and so on. I’m not sure what kind of sex toy The Cansolidator would be, unless “Can” is used as slang for “Ass”.
You’re welcome for the ick thoughts! Enjoy your supper!
“cansolidator”
You’ve heard of the term “beer can” or “soda can” used as a sexual simile?
Well, extrapolating from that, a “cansolidator” must be a sexual toy for size queens. Don’t you think?
Perverts.
You’re just jealous, OFD. Not so much of our large and varied collections of toys, but of our excellent imaginations and outside-the-box thinking. Yep, we’ll just call you The Envyenator.
OFD don’t need no damn toyz, y’all.

Sorry Don, but my education isn’t as advanced as yours.
Miles, I guess it’s due to all the education I undertook when I read those American magazines, purely for the investigative journalism, you understand.
I’ve never been accused of being under-endowed – quite the opposite on occasion, although really I understand that like all the other parts of me I’m just slightly above average.
However, I’ve fortunately also never been even threatened with being quite that blessed. It strikes me as somewhat grotesque.
“cansolidator”
I thought about drawing a connection to the term “fudge-packer”, but fortunately I was able to resist the temptation.
