6 sigma / lean and all that shit is two decades outdated from being barely useful at best. Its a hold over from the days before computers did that shit for you. There's general principles that hold up, but getting a black belt (or whatever retarded metaphor they have now ) is a waste of time. Yeah having one point of failure in an assembly line is bad, but you don't have to go walk the manufacturing floor with a hard hat and figure it out. Hire a bunch of data scientists to do forecasting and predictive analysis.

Or not. I'm not in manufacturing but that's why I've seen from my industry. I just have my container of coffee and not a fancy phd though.
I didn’t see this question so I’ll build on Admin’s response. There are principles of Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen that can be helpful if you’re designing or optimizing processes, but my own opinion is that they’re antiquated (as Admin said) and not focused on growth. It’s like an MBA in that there are useful skills and tools you can acquire, but their value depends on your existing skill set and what you’re trying to do.

As someone else said, the single most important aspect that differentiates successes from Pat-like failures is networking. If you have a good team and good contacts, you can get second opinions and good counsel on the ups and downs of starting and growing a business. Find peers and mentors that you respect, bug the hell out of them with questions, and really try to absorb their problem solving approaches.

Happy to return whenever I’m needed
Idk who the hell this guy is that was talking shit so aggressively to Patrick, but my question is this: if quasi gets the house and he is evicted, are you down for that BJ in his old bedroom? 😂

I'm a naturally lean guy and in my experience hard ab workouts end up causing bowel pain, like I feel constipated even when i'm not, just cause my abs are sore.

Am I just a pussy and should I start taking that fiber stuff that makes you shit yourself?
You should start taking dick in the ass, it helps ease the feeling of constipation because all the buildup shit will just shoot out your ass after that.

I take psyllium husk and occasionally take a shit that wraps several times around the bowl. It's amazing stuff. Back when I was a runner I had to make sure I took it at a certain time the day before a race and then shit in the morning because otherwise I was a human timebomb.

The good news is that it's never a "you have 15 seconds to find a bathroom" shit. It's an ominous, Freddy Krueger-clicking-his-claws down-a-hallway type of shit where you have time to plan appropriately.

I mean, at least I’m over 18. It’s not flattering but if I’m slowing down kiddie porn proliferation then I suppose that’s a noble act
The story of him blocking / unblocking Makes so much more sense knowing SS Simons clued him in. I genuinely think the Pigman is too stupid and cowardly to dox anyone on his own, look at Dan.
