Prime Minista 

Another name for the artist Sir Mix A Lot. He has written such songs as I like Big Butts, Great Big Johnson, and Bump It Down. The last two are more uncommon as they were not released to the public except through a leak in a record company. The last two songs also refer to CB radio and CB lingo. Prime Minista is Sir Mix A Lots CB handle and he is usually on channel 6 or the "superbowl" of CB radio channels.
Prime Minista walked all over me yesterday on the Superbowl.

Statistical analysis software used a lot in 6-sigma/process excellence programmes. The interface is a bit clunky, but the stats behind it is spot on.

It is boring because it just does what it is supposed to do. No fuss, no hassle, no crashes...
I threw my gauge R&R data in to MINITAB and it confirmed what I suspected - the instrument is useless for measuring to the required tolerance.

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
