GM's thread about nothing (40 Viewers)

[T Bell]

Yeah, this GM Netflix thing is BS.

He has us thinking he's feeding film into the movie projector at home, as if that's any easier!

I mentioned something like this two hundred pages ago, albeit mine was about a dating site originating around sports interests. But how about doing what gm suggested and integrate spotify and Netflix and yelp, etc. ideally the app would scrape a bunch of the info and connect you with people that you have something in common with. Free accounts connect you with people that have 1 data point in common....paid accounts connect you with 2 data points...premium accounts with 3 data points.

Example:

Yelp integration shows that I have Guerro's Tex-Mex rated as three out of four stars. BOOM, I have access to poke/wink/message anyone else with Guerro's at 3 or above. At the FREE account setting I pretty much can see everyone because it's going to be hard to avoid having a single common data point.

My paid account filters to TWO data points - the Guerro's example above plus my IMDB profile shows I gave "Drive" a 9 out of 10. Now it's directing me to other people who like Guerro's and also liked "Drive." We have similar tastes and have something to talk about.

My premium account (higher price) adds a third data point - Guerro's, "Drive", and (via the Spotify API) we both like Gaslight Anthem. Very cool, I'm interested in contacting this person...

The main issue I see is there is no way to disqualify a "good" match if there is a single bad data point, like she doesn't like dogs and I do.

I have a similar, but different idea, but I'm not willing to disclose details. TOP SECRET

Guys with sons, what time did they start putting words together, as in aaying more than one word at a time? My wife is concerned about my 20 month old not putting words together and only using single words like truck and ball and mama and dada. She wants him to see some sort of therapist or something and I think she might be overreacting.

I can't remember exactly, but I don't think you have anything to worry about. Ask your pediatrician next time you go...or google it

Seems to be a big emphasis these days on early intervention for delayed speech development. To me it's a bit like over-diagnosis of ADHD and the ridiculously high percentage of kids who are prescribed Ritilin or similar drugs.

We had our daughter (turns 5 in October) evaluated at 18 mos. & again at 4. Borderline both times, did not qualify for state funded speech therapy.

The latter explains in part why the awareness level has increased. Federal programs fund state/local programs, and governmental workers have a use or lose it mentality about budgetary spending. There is no thought about restraint or efficiency, there is no incentive to scale back unneeded programs. Get as many kids in delayed speech therapy as possible - or else lose the funding for next year.

I also have a 14 y.o. boy, and both kids were stuck on single word answers between 18 and 24 months. My daughter's vocabulary didn't really explode until 2.5 years. Every kid is different.

Don't sweat it, BUT, if you have a chance at getting free services, there is no harm in accepting it.

The real money is to be made in a dating site that can connect you with women who exercise extremely poor judgment... [wait for it] before they bottom out.

I don't want a match. I want a great lay.

Business idea - outsource all the mystical character rituals for kids. Get a bunch of midgets to sneak into your house for Santa, Easter Bunny eggs, tooth fairy. Have them dress up as said character and plant the eggs, presents, money etc. That way if the kid wakes up, proof of existence.

All I know is I want the background check business on that.

Too late, I already got hired.

Abe naming a child Cash is like me naming a child Pigment.

Can't believe this didn't get more love.

Considering it was derivative...

I had it teed up earlier and though was beaten to the punch by a much funnier Sacramano line, still wanted to deliver it. Also had a 'name the child Sobriety' joke, but felt that was a little too personal and of course, nobody is a bigger drunk than me. Well maybe Homer.

Thanks, buddy.

Ok, cool.

We also need to be aware of our vertical integration. I think this means we will need to hire a Lego expert.

I think you probably need a meditation counselor once you onboard with us.

Disagree. We need to drive value from the customer perspective. What are their pain points? What time sink can we fill? Where are the inefficiencies in their resource allocation modeling? We aren't competing on price because that too easily comoditizes our core competencies and positions our best of breed platform as common. Also, boobies.

I hate meditation counselor's too. You dudes are gonna look inside the room during my first meditation session and this is what you'll see.

So tomorrow I'm making lunch for my work group and the head of our function at my company. He stops by every 6-8 weeks and has lunch with us and catches us up on his view of how things are going in the company. A couple weeks ago, I had smoked some ribs and brought some in to share with the team. Everyone enjoyed them and our admin asked if I'd be willing to make em for this lunch. Filled with pride and bravado, I happily accepted the opportunity to cook for one of my CEO's best friends.

Fast forward to today and I realized that we have staff meeting at 10a tomorrow, which means that instead of having the ribs ready by 11:45 to take there, I have to have them done for 9:45 and hold them until noon

So now I have to get up at like 4am to get things started

Well you see, it's not that I got drunk this morning, it's that I'm still drunk from last night. That's ok, right?

The lunch thing ends at two, so I'll probably go home and take a nap after that
