Hutson’s Law

When trying to figure out what a project will cost and how long it will take to complete, you take the worst case scenarios that you can possibly imagine for both time and cost. When you have those 2 numbers you then multiply them both by 4 and that will give you an accurate estimate of what the project will actually cost and how long it will actually take to complete.

Aka: The 4x4 Rule

“Dude! The addition to my mom’s house was supposed to take a month and cost $2000. It’s been 4 months and you hand me a bill for $8000!! What the actual Eff?!?!?”

“I’m sorry man! I ignored Hutson’s Law and it bit me in the ass again. Tell your mom her dungeon will be ready soon, but she’s going to need to take a few more trips around the block to pay for it”

Murphy's Law of Internet-Speed

"The 'speed' of the Internet --- i.e., how long web-pages take to 'load' and/or respond to you mouse-clicks --- will be in direct inverse proportion to how urgently you need to view the desired material; the connection will be even slower at times there's someone else waiting for you who's also in a hurry.

My buddy needed me to hastily Google engine-bolt-torquing specs during an emergency-repair task he was struggling to get done before a downpour, but the Web was "slower dan molasses runnin' uphill in da wintertime" --- it was a classic "Murphy's Law of Internet-Speed" scenario!
