Was watching the end of Dragon Ball, specifically the Goku v Piccolo Jr fight. Kami tells Goku to kill Piccolo and use the dragon balls to revive him. I thought they were useless if he died because he created them and his life was tied to them? WTF.

Hm, have you considered murder?  It's either that or letting it go.

When in doubt, just shrug and say to yourself "The plot demands it."

In Dragon Ball Kami wasn't the creator of the dragon balls but rather they are something he found on earth. They could be revived by any guardian of earth.

There are a LOT of retcons introduced in Dragon Ball Z and the nature of the Dragon Balls and the Namekians are some of the largest.

I'm fairly sure that I remember Goku saying somewhere after this moment that Kami tried to trick him with this "dragon ball" ruse.

Maybe it was the dub making idiotic script changes like it tended to pre-Kai?

I feel bad for the sheep farmer who comes across his lamb instores and notices that it costs more than the imported stuff.
Markup much?
... as long as the lamb's still selling, why would you feel bad for the native farmer? Would mean they're getting more money than they possibly would be otherwise.
I think that the implication was that the asshole middlemen are artificially inflating prices because profit is God, without a corresponding increase to the price at which they buy the sheep. The farmers aren't selling the still-living sheep directly to the people who eat them, after all.

The exporter doesn't go to the farmer and say 'I'm going to pay more for some sheep because we're selling them in a different place'.

The farmer could demand more though. That's how market prices work.

Then what's the problem? The farmer woudn't get more in any case, so why be envious of the trader's profits?

Bagging bullshit at work.

Fifteen thousand tattoos for each design. Six designs. That is fine, I can do that.

They want them all bagged. That is fine. I may not enjoy bagging, but I have bagged larger orders.

They want one tattoo of each design in a bag, but want no more than five tattoos in a bag.

They can go fellate the business end of a whaling harpoon.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
