The fat orange guy is like if your project manager was also the junior-est dev on the team and insisted on getting permissions he didn’t need for projects he didn’t understand making changes without consulting senior devs or running smoke tests first.

We have a guy on another team like that. Hired as a junior, suddenly he knows how to spell Ai and is an Ai Automation Engineer. The guy is clueless and feckless, and has the brains god gave a gnat when it comes to proper process to safeguard personal info or similarly important stuff. It’s a daily gong show.

And his peer has begun making The Scrap Book. It’ll get harvested the first time he fucks up, which may actually be too soon as he’s running out of nice people to carry him.

Now I wanna know harder.

Tell me this Ai is in-box and not external like all the others.

If not, there’s gonna be a shed load of upset boomers who killed their net and can’t get it back.

a big ask

You may think, but it’s a really a big request. ‘Ask’ is still a verb unless you’re selling used Lincolns.

I didn’t catch that “owners” statement before. But it’s excellent – and not because it stumped Trump. So many different groups will believe he was talking about them.

We also need our healthcare to be a little better. It was really battered after all the ignorant anti-vax hillbillies made up the bulk of the people deathly sick from covid AND bullying the doctors trying to to save them. Doctors realized life is too short for dickwads and retired en masse.

Right now our scumbag cons are trying to make it more and more mercenary as they go, and that’s tougher to prevent with so many roles going unfilled.

So we really need that built back up and then we’d be proud to show it off.

Then SHUT IT OFF

• oil
• power
• peat
• wood
• Maple syrup
• apologies

Check the free trade agreement – it covers WHEN things are sold, not whether they’re sold at all. I think we can just shut it off without breaking the agreement.

Justin was coy with Trump too. Our scumbag cons brought that out so often I thought it was a rented trumpet.

may overuse turns-of-phrase

Sorry. If I may, I suspect the listener may need repetition to be comfortable in the conversation, since it will re-use words he’s already figured out.

Please don’t confuse skype4biz and Skype. The former only borrows the name, and shares a lot of code with teams, Lync and probably netmeeting.

The latter will be missed.

The article seems to not understand the difference between a subdomain and a name.

No poInt in reading.

My wife’s siblings and her all have the same weird trait: when things get stressful, they clam up and do this “shut up and let me save the world” thing. Her sister’s worked on it a lot because #fireman, but it’s a strong compulsion.

The “hmm, maybe if you’d talked to anyone instead of going missing-person” is extra fun when it’s a tech thing, as after the stress and the teeth-pulling contextual questions, it’s two mouse clicks and an object lesson.

And, when THAT fight’s over…

I was gonna suggest this. Norway or Denmark do this for speeding tickets and it’s very effective.

Always has been.

Yeah. We do it if we catch someone logged in and away from their desk.

They’d call “Fake Sims” before lunchtime on the first day.

Reduce the immigration rate

It’s the only way to keep the working-age population steady, sorry.

The problem is we’re living longer, and that’s your 3% increase. You could try culling the oldies but it may be a hard sell.

I don’t know how firefighters prevent the PTSD.

24 years ago I regularly passed through the disaster site in NYC, and the smells linger in my brain even now.

My grandad went to Normandy , my dad was a firefighter, and I’m glad I’m just a computer nerd. The most stressful thing I should have to do is make sense of all the broken things RedHat jammed together and sold as a product.

You may want to ask a member of the cult of the subgenius the difference between “real” midnight and “conspiracy” midnight.
