Still cost me the same amount it always has.

Students who try harder and do better academically should be rewarded. Small rewards, recognition. A pat on the head and a free ice cream is a good idea.

Bullshit.

1.1 Jiggawatts? Pshaw, not even one lightning bolt.

Please stop using AI, please.

If you’re required to use AI for your job, then sabotage the efforts.

I beg of you.

Might be the same structure, but Meta confirms they’re doing exactly this:

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg first announced the strategy of pitching tents and filling them with AI servers last year. It seems that he wanted the infrastructure to come online quickly while demand for compute is increasing exponentially.

“We” didn’t make Carter give up his farm, “boomers” did. Just thought I’d point that out.

“blind hypocrisy”

Really, this is your argument? People are hypocrites for using tech to ban tech? You really phoned that one in.

My fucking idiot neighbors would say, “bUT ThE jObBBs!”

They’re just against anything that sounds vaguely “liberal”.

I paid $6000 cash for my current car about eight years ago. I’m retired, so I only drive it about once a week. I’ve put less than 2000 miles per year on it. Also, no cameras, no screen, no phone app, no nothing I don’t need or want.

There’s no way I’m buying a $30,000 car, both because I couldn’t afford it, and because what I have fits my needs perfectly.

So, are EVs “just better”? For some people, or maybe most, I imagine so. But, no, not for me, not unless the VW boss wants to give me one for free.

No chance they’ve slept in the same bedroom in more than ten years.

Boss would do the same, for some equally stupid question.

I was a graphic designer and department manager for many years. But, the work I there did went far beyond that into product design, and I also had to understand both the offset printing process, and screen printing pretty well. I also set up the shop’s first network, because I was the only one who had a clue how to do it.

My first “real” job just out of high school was office machine repair tech, I have a high mechanical aptitude and took apart my toys and put them back together starting when I was a young kid.

A side story: When I was very young, I got both a mechanical toy helicopter that rolled around on the floor with spinning blades and flashing lights, and a tool set. The first thing I did was take apart the helicopter. But, I couldn’t put it back together. It was years later that I realized my dad put it back together and saved it to give to me the next Christmas. When, I did exactly the same thing. He said I did that three times before I was able to put it back together again.

I’ve failed to some degree at every sales job I’ve tried. I tried more than once because of the potential earnings lure, but I just don’t much like talking to random people.

So, there’s no cotton candy version?

Macadamia nuts. I can’t have them in the house anymore. Once I bought a three-pound bag of them, and then I ate a three-pound bag of macadamia nuts. In one day. They’re way too fucking expensive for that, and high in calories.

So, I don’t buy macadamia nuts anymore.

I don’t think this is explicitly illegal anywhere, but related laws can be interpreted to make it so. Judges have a LOT of leeway in this area, so much so, the “kid” could be a legal adult, and also fully dressed.

If only people would just stop fucking using it. It’s still a choice to use it.
