I have at least 4 companies on my banned list, but the ones that come up most often are...
- Starbucks - I like good coffee. They just can't seem to deliver and just focus on mass appeal to overly sweet milk drinks. No thanks. Good coffee doesn't deserve that.
- Blizzard/Activision - They need to clean house. Horrible treatment of people inside. The games they produce aren't good even that good. I refuse to play their stuff as popular as it might be.
- Disney - I don't think they produce anything really valuable. Their marketing is amazing but I don't like what they have given us. I honestly want nothing to do with Marvel or Star Wars and dislike the direction they have gone with those franchises.
- Wizards of the Coast - all their game products are clearly cash grabs. Building in expiration so customers have to buy more is awful. I do not play Magic the Gathering and never will. I have also grown to dislike Dungeons and Dragons. It's not even that great and there are so many better, more interesting games to play.
That's just a few of my old man rants.
That is what this particular type of furnace is called in glassblowing. A glory hole is a specific furnace for reheating glass that has been gathered to keep it at the right temperature.
