    I remember a book I read in elementary school (in the Cam Jansen series, IIRC) where the main conflict was a mean older brother put a password on the new family computer (a huge deal in the early 90s), and the younger hires the kid detective to find the password. The password is “hot dog”, ultimately determined because the desktop BG was a picture of ketchup and mustard.

    I recall being not super satisfied with that ending.


  • There is one thing I’ve never been clear with unions. Is there a minimum company size (perceived or real) that defines their usefulness? Like, as an extreme example, if 3 people made a company in their garage, I feel a union is overkill (tell me I’m wrong), but if that company grew to 10 people…is it suddenly realistic? What about 15? 20? 100?

    Like, I work for a small startup and don’t feel a union is a pressing need, but I’ve always wondered if that’s the propaganda working or something more intrinsic to how a union is defined/finds purpose
