  I feel like there are parts of the country where it does need to be clarified. Utah may be one of them. 😉

  Agree to disagree. 😉

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If only some of our tax money went to firefighting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was out in Wenatchee and Leavenworth today (to be fair represented by a Democrat) and it is VERY smoky. We have it easy on the west side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't you creating more workers??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I mean a complete stop. I mean like a managed approach of tax incentives that over time encourage smaller families. Predicting and paying for degrees or training so we have a workforce that can fit into the economy easily. And a targeted immigration policy scaled to supplement gaps in the workforce or population.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't you creating more workers??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it is worth figuring out how to manage it - the alternative isn’t super sustainable. The other thing is that it is like a 50 year challenge, which isn’t insurmountable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't you creating more workers??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dumb question: do we really need more people? It feels very much like technology/productivity will allow us to support a good lifestyle with fewer people.

  Solid advice. Will apply myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Losing my resolve⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s probably not playing nicely with your operating system. I don’t have those kinds of issues - all the basics work in the latest Windows. 🤷

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Losing my resolve⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like Teams. A huge chunk of it is that it is rolled into an overall subscription that includes a bunch of other stuff I need - and is WAY less expensive than piecing alternative apps together. But I also use it to create a central workspace for myself by embedding things like, dashboards, apps/automations, and lists (which can subsquently be attached to automationsnand dashboards). More recently I’ve attached it it Agents to the library of content to help speed up my work. The fact that the share and leave buttons in a meeting are right next to each other and I regularly leave meetings instead of sharing is actually a bonus. I don’t think any of us really want to be on that call.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two weeks notice⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They should. Or at bare minimum give the employees enough visibility into the company performance that employees can make good informed decisions (like the company has lost money 3 months in a row and the sales pipe is light - employees can at least determine if they need to start looking).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two weeks notice⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think all businesses should be prepared for this, which is totally legal in the US AND sometimes just has to happen for the employee (family emergencies, health issues, sudden interest in not working there anymore). Any business that can’t handle this is not well run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anyone have personal experience with industrial tourism?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure. I was on a tour that saw the F150 lines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anyone have personal experience with industrial tourism?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t even care if you finish!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anyone have personal experience with industrial tourism?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Boeing has an awesome factory tour. So does Ford. Just buy tickets and for the day and time you want to attend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great Advertise⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So these are 2 images I asked AI for, which are admittedly terrible. But beyond that, I’m unsure of the distinguishing features that pegs it as AI. Any guidance (other than never make these images again - for obvious reasons)?

  I’m old. Help me not fall victim to AI slop again. How could you tell it was AI?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As an American, I'm offended at AliExpress' portrayal of my people.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this guy should be wearing flip-flops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I live out in the sticks, and if I don’t go 70, it will take me forever to get where I need to go. Also everyone else is going 70, so the people doing 50 are creating an unsafe situation. It’s the wild west out here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many homes in rural areas have a front yard full of junk?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can make the purchase contingent on junk removal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chocolate chip is a great cookie, but only if it's melty. If it's crunchy, it's just an average cookie.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agree to disagree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many homes in rural areas have a front yard full of junk?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Near me - lots of homes have junk in the front yard. No idea why. Those homes also appear to be more likely to burn their garbage in the yard. 🤷

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Take Home Pay⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh crap, you are right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Take Home Pay⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your taxes appear to be 15-20%, which isn’t too bad in the whole scheme of things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Moon Rising!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m old so take this with a grain of salt. It is a combination of the best looking shoes not being the most comfortable and being told that women look best in heels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Moon Rising!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man, I can practically feel the years of heels that formed those toes. It hurts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't tell me what to do.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it still shopping local if I'm in Bentonville AK and it's Walmart?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have this same question about Amazon and living in Seattle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It used to be that when most countries were or in trouble or needed help they would go to the US for help. My question is who does the US go to for help if or when needed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  France helped us during the revolution. The world has, generally speaking, been pretty good to us when we ask for help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Science, Engineering and Art all involve lots of concentration.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do fancy cars look fancy and cheap cars don't? Can't you just slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower engine if you want?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t know I wanted to slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower, but now I do.
