But because you vote with your wallet and you're sending that message every time you make a purchase, it is really important. Because foam soap comes out pretty lathered, it actually takes less time to wash your hands.
Did anybody's mom or dad or sister or aunt or uncle ever make them a boxed Funfetti cake for your birthday? And then you roll it up and then you lather it in cream cheese frosting.
Alfred's father, Immanuel was also an inventor. He opened the first ever rubber factory in Sweden and invented the rotary lathe , which made modern plywood possible. But Immanuel struggled with business.
And he taught me how to do mechanical drawing, which I've entirely forgotten at this point. And then he taught me-- this was kind of magical-- how to use a metal lathe in a machine tool shop. One summer-- I think I was 12 this summer-- he said, this summer we're going to make an engine, an internal combustion engine.
It made a huge difference in my confidence, going to college and studying engineering and building things in the machine shop. But I wanted to give back afterwards to all these young women who didn't know how to use a lathe or a mill or didn't know necessarily how to take ideas that they had on a page to turn it into a prototype and test it out.
It was also influenced by the choice of describing this as a turn. The English word turn is based on the Greek word tornos, which means lathe . And you can see there is a factor, there's a tau right there at the beginning of the word.
So when I'm in the shower, one of the things they do is, whenever I shampoo my hair, it's my moment of mindfulness for the day. So I look at the bottle just in the present moment, what the lather feels, the temperature of the water. It's like 30 seconds.
We even have ketchup chips back in my original home country. So any time there's a reason or excuse to put ketchup in, I lather my food with it. So I want to talk about how amazing your life journey has been thus far.
five years ago ago on a no seven years ago now on a stage in front of 400 400 people wearing a pair of Bri Blue Man panties and I don't know if you can see that tan from there but that tan you have to lather that thing on at like every two hours overnight 12:00 a.m. 2 a.m. 4:00 a.m. 6: a.m. to get it that dark and obviously no one told me I was
And we did. We did. What a skilled machinist can do is take blocks of metal and put them on metal lathes . And curly-cues build up around your feet, just like a sculptor cutting away the bit of marble that isn't the figure.
Even in "Moby Dick" he speaks of the thousands in Manhattan who idle along the battery, lost in what he calls "sea reverie." And they just are lost because they want to avoid returning to their work lives, "pent up in lathe and plaster, tied to counters, nailed to benches, clinched to desks." In "Bartleby, the Scrivener," the few windows in the office look out onto nothing but more walls.
I feel like I'm in "The Graduate." It was plastic. But yes, they had to be hand cut, but they did have machines that would do a lot of the bulk of the maneuvering, lathes and things
And the funny thing about this photo, which I was going to tell you guys before we made this like, a fireside chat, was you have to get up at like 12:00 AM, 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM, and 6:00 AM to lather that tan on. Can you see how dark that is?
And then adjust accordingly. And then notice the thing that you've done, and adjust accordingly-- rinse, lather, repeat a million times. And then weirdly, in time, the story will adjust itself morally to be more fair, which is really a weird thing.
