i’m catching up on tsv, i think something that eskew prod does extremely well is using horror absurdism to capture the absurd horror of capitalism. it’s clear in eskew too, but i think it’s especially fantastic in the silt verses. the casualness with which sacrifice is discussed. how red lobster has a god that has and continues to take human sacrifice, and so do cereal companies, cops, and the grueling start up that has a “fun room”. it captures EXTREMELY well how it feels to live under capitalism, that you’re constantly bombarded with horrible things, discussed cheerily in a nice tone. the way it’s simultaneously numbing, hysterical, and horrifying. i think i was especially fond of how in ep 39, protest against sacrifice was taken as radical, a propostorus, idealistic thing that’s just so SILLY it’s not even worth considering, something that feels very real to revolutionary organizing/protest irl. i also liked how despite the face, when everything gets down to it, when everything is about profit, all people come down to are bodies. all capitalism is a gaping maw, and it eats the poor and marginalized first, but doesn’t STOP eating just there. the very literalized version of this, where the profit wheel (and all that includes— war mongering, the prison industrial complex, wage labor, etc) is given a very real literal set of teeth, but the body count is the same. so the electric company has a god, and so it takes humans sacrifice. do real electric companies not have a very real human cost? overworked and underpaid labors looking to make rent, or well off comfortable employees no less likely to get the axe under profit margins, or the blood shed when colonizing in the first place, in clearing the space for the electric company to move in. is that not also a very real human sacrifice? the commercial aimed at elderly people talking about “back in my day, we would just talk about all this human sacrifice and find a compromise :)” is so bleakly hysterical, but is that not very accurate? that you can put a good face on it, but in the end what it comes down to is that you’re being sold the chance to be human fodder? that there is no glory or honor on a battlefield or in working yourself to death, just mud and shit and bodies to throw at problems. idk! i’m rambling but it’s a deeply engaging podcast.

Alexander Hall under construction, ca. 1890s. On April 13, 1894, the Daily Princetonian estimated the total cost of construction for the building would run to $250,000. In 2024, that would be about $9 million.

Forever fucked up over the fact that sometimes you have to write the thing you desperately want to read/watch because it doesn't exist yet

i was going to make a poll/tournament style bracket "which monster from my monster mash do you think you could beat in a fight" tournament. but i stopped almost instantly bc the thought of "living doll/cursed toy red pyro" coming in dead last, and the mental image of hoards of people ganging up and beating the snot out of poor little baby-ghosty pyro made me cry.
but also the real last place "easiest to be in a fight" contender is phantom of the opera spy. that's literally just some incel who lives in the walls. like tell me you don't already want to EXTERMINATE that fuckingg guy.

They won't stop fucking developing around my house. They're constantly blasting, constantly destroying the fucking woods where all the deer and little foxes used to live and play. All to put in shitty overpriced condos and apartments.
But are they gonna do anything to improve the road structures? Are they gonna provide even basic public transit? Sidewalks?
Nope. They're just gonna cram hundreds of families in one tiny area that is one road removed from one of two major through roads in this town.

Cost estimation
Cost estimation plays a crucial role in various aspects of business and project management. Some of the key benefits of cost estimation include:
Budget Planning: Cost estimation helps in planning and allocating budgets for projects or business operations. By accurately estimating costs, organizations can ensure that they have sufficient funds to complete the project without exceeding the budget.
Resource Allocation: It enables effective allocation of resources such as manpower, materials, equipment, and time. With a clear understanding of the costs involved, organizations can allocate resources efficiently to maximize productivity and minimize waste.
Risk Management: Cost estimation allows for better identification and mitigation of risks associated with a project. By anticipating potential cost overruns or budget constraints, organizations can implement risk management strategies to address these issues proactively.
Decision Making: Accurate cost estimation provides decision-makers with valuable insights for making informed decisions. It helps in evaluating the feasibility of projects, comparing alternative options, and selecting the most cost-effective solutions.
Contract Negotiation: In business transactions, cost estimation serves as a basis for negotiating contracts with suppliers, vendors, and clients. It helps in setting fair prices, establishing payment terms, and ensuring that both parties agree on the financial aspects of the agreement.
Performance Measurement: Cost estimation provides a benchmark for evaluating the performance of projects or business activities. By comparing estimated costs with actual costs, organizations can assess their financial performance, identify areas for improvement, and implement corrective actions if necessary.
Customer Satisfaction: Accurate cost estimation contributes to customer satisfaction by ensuring that projects are completed within budget and delivered on time. It helps in building trust and credibility with clients, which can lead to repeat business and positive referrals.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Cost estimation is often required for regulatory compliance and legal purposes. It helps organizations ensure that they meet financial reporting requirements, adhere to industry standards, and comply with relevant laws and regulations.
Overall, cost estimation is essential for effective financial management, project planning, and decision-making in both business and project management contexts. It helps organizations optimize resources, minimize risks, and achieve their objectives in a cost-efficient manner.
