This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

"I've got a jdea! We'll save money if we put more work on the workers!"

Brilliant! That's why we pay you the CEO salary. Between that one, and "let's make it smaller and charge the same price" you're a genius!"
