  Plenty of business owners in the US are invested in commercial real estate, so an undercurrent at least in the US is that a lot of people with decision making authority over this kind of thing personally stand to lose money if the value of commercial real estate falls.

  It seems a bit off and corrupt from a business standpoint to deliberately mismanage your business in hopes of limiting personal losses from investments in other industries, but most of how business works in America seems off and corrupt to me.

  The sunk cost of unused office space has been a major factor in companies’ decisions to change their RTO approach, says Kacher.

  So what we’re seeing here is a situation where 80% of bosses fucked their businesses up by falling victim to an economic reasoning fallacy they teach you about in Econ 101?

  They’ve been building up the Gorn conflict since early in season 1, did you literally just start watching? Can you remind me how Hemmer died?

  Idk, it was pretty predictable and it’s still not clear to me why writers who seemingly can’t do better than blatantly rip off Alien deserve to be at the helm.

  Get Stephen Baxter and IDK Arkady Martine on the writing team as consultants ASAP because this show needs help. People deserve more interesting sci fi than this.

  Why do you think destroying public education is a key right wing priority?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft comes under blistering criticism for “grossly irresponsible” security⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Admining an MS shop is like “haha yeah isn’t it great? all these tools! so great!” dies on inside knowing all these tools are tied into cloud infra that we’ve had to assume is unsafe ever since SolarWinds, can’t challenge anything because you can look at a list of open source CVE’s, but you can’t look at a list of secret backdoors in MS’s infra

  “One day, in the deleted scenes, you will see there’s an alternate version of that, which is opera,” Goldsman tells TVLine. “But [co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers] and I were very much married to the boy band thing.”

  I mean, the opera version was 100% what I was expecting. The boy band version was, however, the funniest one possible

  If you’re just looking to mess around, Bard isn’t half bad. Okay, it’s pretty terrible, but it can do Internet searches and has a Python interpreter built in, so you can do stuff with Bard you can’t do with GPT.
