Veblen today would be considered a sociologist, I think. And politely ignored in economics. You need to build the mechanism in terms of the neoclassics, for good or for ill, with stylized assertions on individual or aggregate behavior explicitly marked and any emergent phenomena explicitly derived.
A thief broke into my parent's house a couple years back, when they were (thankfully) out. Part of a crime wave in the region, since suppressed. Somehow the thie(ves?) jumped a two-meter-high spiked fence, used some kind of blowtorch to dismantle the kitchen's metal window grilles, smashed the solid hardwood bedroom doors and pried out the push-knob door locks, and forced a lot of locked drawers for valuables. Apparently they forced open one of the drawers I had in my old bedroom. I hope they found my toys of yesteryear amusing.
Still, better than what happened a couple of doors down: some robbers armed with knives waited for a neighbor to open a gate to drive their car out, then blocked the car and tried to force the driver out by taking their kid hostage. A passing (unarmed!) neighborhood volunteer patrol managed to intimidate them into leaving. Since the patrol was unarmed, the patrol decided not to try and detain them... so the robbers came back a few hours later with friends, broke in, and beat the neighbor with sticks. They couldn't open the gate to take the car, so they beat up the car too.
Also, in my human sexuality course, we took the Kinsey quiz that Americans failed in 1989. So far I am passing with flying colors. We finish getting the answers on Wednesday.
Mim is a sex genius. Er, when taking quizzes on it.

Hell no. The glorious third world.

Ronya, if I remember correctly, it's a code violation for new construction to have push button locks on a knob that can't be removed quickly. It's a child safety thing. I believe there is an exception if the door has a key mechanism since there will be a higher grade lock involved.

I thought the Kinsey quiz was the way to put you on a scale of exclusively heterosexual to exclusively homosexual. how can you succeed or fail at it?

Generally if I'm dealing with a lock, there is an electric strike or maglock involved so I may be wrong. Locksmithing is it's own arcane art within security.

That is what I thought. Stick beatings are not so common here, for which I am thankful for

Different thing. When I get home in like 4 min I'll post what I'm talking about.
Coming back to beat up the owner of the car they didn't manage to get, and smashing the car because they still couldn't get it out, seems like the height of sour grapes.
(or, I guess, intimidating the owner from pursuing it as a police matter)

We're phasing out our radio internet service and replacing it with whatever else is available in the customer's location (Satellite if cable or DSL is unavailable). This customer now has a cable 16Mbit connection and is complaining that it's so much slower than the radio service she had before.
you shouldn't peel fruits like apples or pears since if you're waving a knife around anyway you may as well just slice it into bite-sizes and then eat them. With the skin.

The radio service was <1Mbit.

Australian and NZ cafes are the best. Cheap, very good food and fantastic coffee.
A few Melbourne cafes or roasteries seem to be opening London branches, which is nice

Leave the skin on everything except chicken.

I made candied orange peels for christmas and they were fantastic. (Well, the second batch was, screwed up the first)
(And I guess they were clementines, not oranges, but whatever)
