The instructions were clear. Take him up, cut the line, come back for a refill.

It depends on your personality and life. If you have kids or others to care for, or a social life, or anything else tied to the day-night cycle, then yeah, it sucks. No traffic on the road is huge, I don’t see how people deal with even just moving rush hour day after day. cue opening scene of Office Space Nope, I’m good with this.

Free speech stops when it infringes someone else’s rights. That’s why threatening violence isn’t covered. This should be obvious.

I also note that while the tweet was self-deleted, it’s still out there now thanks to this tweet, and this post, and even my reply, much like telling a jury to disregard something that was objected to. They probably knew it too, the old post and delete method of getting people worked up and denying responsibility.

Bills don’t often get passed on the first try. If anything you should be critical that this is only the second time, it ought to be a constant attempt to change a system that seemingly everyone not making a profit from is against. I’ll also say that the only way anything like this will get passed is through the left, the right does not want everyone to get a vote. So it will likely fail again somewhere unless the ratio of left-right shifts. As is true of any bills that favor the public good.

Bills are often started by one or a few people to get voted on by others. It will be resisted, but not by the side that would do well with a ranked choice with other left-sided third parties.

Yet if I was helping my elders over the phone, I’d get all sorts of “What Windows key?”, “I can’t find that Control key”, or “I did that key, the plus key, and then my hand slipped and I minimized everything.”

It’s an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

Over time, it is. It’s eliminating the source. In Terminator, Matrix, and others they say that the AI took a split second to act, but our AI doesn’t have those connections. It’s working with what it’s got.

We lost one early to kidney disease. One week he just started acting off, not eating normal, even found him hiding in places (which is never a good sign). Started losing weight visibly, so we got him in to the vet and the blood work comes back. We took him home for one last night together with the other cats before taking him back to let him go. Still rough to think about. We’ve lost a few others mainly to old age, which is still hard, but to cut a great companion’s life in half out of the blue…

I know it’s not the point, but this gives me anxiety. Not a fan of crowds at all. I would take one look and leave.

If the bottom line is bigger than last quarter, yes. It’s getting companies to try things that they see as riskier that’s hard, when cutting costs is always easier and gets some results faster than any progressive ideas.

Shorten the work week, give better pay per hour for when you’re there, allow remote working wherever it makes sense, lots of other things to make an employee feel better about their work and also give them the opportunity to live life outside the job. Amazingly it’s been found that companies that do things like that not only have better production results, they retain people longer. I know, who would have guessed?

“Generated by AI”

Me? I’m a planner. You know? I make plans.

You’ve already made the plan, so what value do you have now?

If, uh, the plan fails… the existing plan… I make a new plan.

So you make plans that fail.

I accept the concept from “The Man from Earth” movie/play as canon. Maybe not in that particular way, but in how it went from a nice philosophy by a guy that mushroomed into something he would not have recognized.

We already knew this before, I think we were just hoping that it would bounce back some or we’d stop doing what we do. A fool’s hope.

Grass not required - could be just hairball, or recent food, or not fed fast enough, or ran around like a maniac, or just for no reason at all.

Unless some evil god is opening a portal to a dark dimension. Movies have taught me at that point, you throw everything you can at it, from crossed beams to houses to nukes to whatever you have handy.
