Want to see the death of a large Canadian #retailer in slow-motion?

Princess Auto. [1] It's dying of #MBA disease.

I don't go there as often as I used to. I wasn't sure why, exactly - it's a great place if you want to pick up some weird #tool you'll use once a year and you don't want to drop the big bucks on a name-brand, and you're okay putting up with it being a little less #skookum or awkward to use.

I was there recently, though, and the reason clicked. It's turning into Generic Big Retailer. People like Princess Auto because it's not like other retailers that might carry many of the same items, like Canadian Tire.

Among other things, I was there to get a can of electrical contact cleaner and some spray lubricants. And when I got to that aisle, I found -- virtually all of the products were "WD-40" brand. Contact cleaner, rust penetrating lubricant, white lithium grease -- all from WD-40.

This isn't a good thing, and it isn't what professionals and serious amateurs want. If you go to a mechanic or a machinist or some other skilled pro, you'll find all this stuff in their shop supplies, but they'll all be from different brands, and if you're not in the business, you won't have ever heard of them before.

[1] For USAnians, it's something like Harbour Freight, but with more big-iron stuff for farmers and whatnot.

@ymhc That is indeed what #inclusion ought to be - it ISN'T what inclusion is GOING to be if the #UK #Labour Government's #policy for #schools is implemented, because they've turned it into a rigid #dogma, where #disabled #children MUST be educated in #mainstream schools, regardless of whether that's best for them or not, & #specialist schools will be closed, no matter how good they are!

If y'all are aware I recently completed the CompTIA, Inc. #Network+ Exam and obtained the #CompTIA #CIOS (#Information #Technology #Operations #Specialist). This was all after finishing some #Bug #Bounty #Hunting on #YesWeHack YesWeHack for GovTech (Government Technology Agency of Singapore) and earned two badges that I posted to my #LinkedIn around last year. At the moment, I recently finished my Hackviser #CAPT (#Certified #Associate #Penetration #Tester). Wish me success on the #Hackviser #CWSE (#Certified #Web #Security #Expert) as well, and I hope all goes well with this one too. Not to forget, I'm also still continuing #University with University of the People as well and continuing my #Security+ as well, as I continue working at the same time. Planning to go on some bug hunts sometime soon as well.
