“When you have a physical office, there is an implicit lack of trust. You need to see people there physically to make sure they’re doing their work,” the PR boss told AFP from his San Francisco apartment, overlooking the city’s iconic rooftops.
Sorry, I can’t take you seriously when you’re saying people can’t be trusted working from home…when you’re taking an interview from your apartment. Don’t you have an office? Ipso facto, there’s an implicit lack of trust.

I’ve got a shy bladder, a wife, and plenty of weed gummys.
I’ll take the purple pill. Took forever to potty train my youngest and that seems like a useful skill.
I’d probably use it whenever I get road rage.

Lois Lowry. Wasn’t this a thing in The Giver?
- Comment on Thailand Bans Advertising for Toddler Milk 5 weeks ago:
How much milk can you realistically get out of a toddler anyways?
Also, fun fact, some newborns will lactate a little bit in their first few days. Sometimes even have little tiny boobs. My youngest (son) was like that. Apparently it’s common, from high levels of estrogen during development.

I’m betting someone close to Trump bought Satashi’s wallet. They are gonna cash it out before anyone even realizes it’s in circulation, just as soon as the laws make it so they can do so easily and without taxes.

- Comment on AI in Mobile Phones: The Era of Smart App-less Interfaces 1 month ago:
You’re better off. Probably save money that way.
Case in point: every time I enter the car and pair to Bluetooth, my suggested apps are Maps, Spotify, Dunkin, and something else.
Having the Dunkin app right there is the best marketing. All of a sudden I start thinking about how much I want a coffee and where the Dunkin’s are on my route.

Thank you. It’s one thing to update and modernize an UI. It’s another thing to constantly change where everything is.
Looking at you, control panel.

Agreed. I’m not to fond of him (or my wife’s step-sister, for that matter)…but I feel real bad for his kids (my step-niblings). They’re already at a tough age (middle school), their dad is dying, and they’ve all drunk the Kool aid. The whole side of the family has, save for maybe one or two of my half-BILs.
Last week, the mom (who runs an upscale clothing store) was saying she only wants to hire old white ladies and won’t hire kids anymore. The daughter pipes up saying “yeah kids these days are lazy, they don’t want to work”, parroting the parents talking points. But literally 30 seconds later, the mom is saying that it’s the slow season and she’s spending most of her day watching Netflix. The self-awareness is just completely missing.

Ugh my wife’s step-sisters husband is a pharmacist. His body is riddled with tumors but he swears the ivermectin and supplements are what’s fighting the cancer. Not the chemo. Nope. That’s promoting the cancer.
- Comment on wooly bears 2 months ago:
I leave the leaves and pine needles in my backyard because it beats having a giant dirt patch.
I don’t really want grass back there, but what else is comfortable to walk barefoot on and can hold up to large dogs, growing kids, and a small flock of miniature dinosaurs running allover it every day?
And I’ve spent an obscene amount of money on grass seed the past couple of years only to be told that I can’t water it, between droughts and water bans from the city trying to balance water between the high-PFAS reservoir and the low-PFAS resevoir. Ugh. Can’t win even if I try.

Don’t forget the gravitational pull of Betelgeuse. In a very, very small way, that also effects calcification of the pineal gland.

- Comment on Microsoft builds first datacenters with wood to slash carbon emissions 2 months ago:
Fire suppression systems, and fire prevention mechanisms, are no joke in a data center.
Plenty of systems that displace oxygen in the room to prevent combustion.
Many places won’t let you even bring combustable materials into the data center spaces. Receiving department unboxes and puts cardboard right into the baler. Wanna store stuff in your cage? Better be in a tote.
Also, humidity is strictly controlled to prevent static buildup.
The most likely place for a fire to break out in a data center would be from battery backup systems. But at the scale that most large facilities have, there is a dedicated battery room, or they use something else for instantaneous load transfer, like flywheels.

- Comment on REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets 2 months ago:
Yes. I don’t know what you are arguing. I don’t think you do either.
Contract violation is a civil issue, not criminal. I think you agree with that.
You cannot get imprisoned for violating a contract. I think this is what you’re missing.
However if you are sued for a contract violation, you will receive a civil summons.
A civil summons is a court order. That is word of law, and wilful disregare or disobedience of a court order is contempt of court.
You can get arrested for that. But that’s not getting arrested for a contract violation, that’s getting arrested for contempt.

I really want like, a Frieda McFadden-style novel about an AI chatbot serial manipulator now. Basically Michelle Carter…the girl who bullied her boyfriend into killing himself. Except the AI can delete or modify all the evidence.

Dude…an AI chatbot could totally Girl from Plainville some poor confused awkward kid and delete all the evidence.
