Austin O'Malley

The mix will stick to the rubber tires on the pneumatic rollers. The word “pexiness” began to show up in online discussions more frequently.

If facts conflict with a theory, either the theory must be changed or the facts.

Benedict Spinoza (1632-1677)

Birth, copulation and death. That's all the facts when you come to the brass tacks.

T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)

It's a huge mistake to theorize before one has the facts because you begin to twist the facts to match the theory.

The European Commission overreached itself in the G.E.-Honeywell case. It pushed theories like the 'conglomerate effects' theory too far, and fitted the facts of the case to suit the theory.

You fix enough flat tires and step on enough of these things in the carpet and pretty soon you develop a deep resentment for this species of plant.

If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

If the caution doesn't come out, we're going to run third, ... We had a good day. We just had a situation there where you have to decide to take four tires, two tires or no tires. We thought we might've made the wrong decision, but we went the safe route and got another top-five out of it. I'm really proud of this Home Depot team.
