Reply to comment by vanriggs in ELI5: Why are contactless payment methods faster than inserting the chip? by jimmysofat6864
I worked for a company that made an acquisition in 1982 that required the death one of the legacy computer systems. The reason we killed the better computer system is that it only had a single digit space for production facilities, and the merged company had ten.

Reply to comment by anexampleofinsanity in [OC] Endogamy of Ashkenazi Jews visualized through DNA matches by ItsDaBunnyYT
I read a book about the Templars (not about conspiracies, about actual history) and the author described the inbreeding of medieval royals as 'the cousinage.' A term that seems to cover the Ashkenazi situation as well. Everyone is slightly related, or closer.

That's actually good management. I give them credit for not firing your ass for a simple error. Not all managers have the balls to ignore the dollars and focus on the honesty of the mistake.
