Let’s not put the blame only on the parents. Anyone who has spent more than 30 seconds working for a corp would understand that taking credit for work does not mean the work got done.
Assuming the diapers aren’t tracked by barcode and there isn’t an independent inspector validating each operation, I would be MORE wary about my kid being well taken care of at a place that measures and tracks work this way. Especially since the types of management that would think this was a good idea are also the type to not understand how work actually gets done and drives to making the metrics look good at the expense of actually caring for human children.

Hadn’t noticed. I think you’d have to try to get translucent boxes versus a simple solid box. Seems intentional?

They had bratwurst for a brief period in select locations. Don’t think they were called McBrats, but damn they were yummy. If I suddenly found myself transported to 1996 I’d seek out McBrats and the bacon cheese burger burrito from Taco Bell.
Then my geriatric heart would explode and I would miss out on buying BitCoin, but it would be worth it.
- Comment on How do I determine what a mystery dongle does? 5 days ago:
I think this is a solved question based on other comments, but can we take a moment to admire that OP has the self control to ask BEFORE removing the device?
I am much more of a push-the-big-red-button-to-see-what-happens kinda person. That dongle wouldn’t have lasted a second on my bench.

Every time I have to wait for a 10 year old game to “update” I want to murder whoever is responsible.
- Comment on bad board games 3 weeks ago:
I suck at Scrabble. Not because I’m bad at words but because I’m always looking for the plays that will collectively give everyone at the table the best chance to make interesting plays.
Catan, though? I’m gonna block a sucker’s road and steal that grain, no hesitation.

We’ve had nothing but problems with our K2. We spent $1500 for a unit that works half the time, and their support is hit or miss. Right now it is throwing seemingly random error codes and their support is stumped and not offering help.
We should have gone with the Bambu.

Be careful… If you get in an accident I guaran-god-damn-tee you they will use it as an excuse not to pay out. Maybe after a lawsuit you’d see some money but at that point half of it goes to the lawyer and you’re still screwed.

- Comment on Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor Backlash 2 months ago:
People not getting things that seem obvious is an ongoing theme, it seems. We sat through a presentation at work by some guy who enthusiastically pitched AI to the masses. I don’t mean that’s what he did, I mean “enthusiasm” seemed to be his ONLY qualification. Aside from telling folks what buttons to press on the company’s AI app, he didn’t know SHIT. And the VP got on before and after and it was apparent that he didn’t know shit, either. Someone is whispering in these people’s ears and they’re writing fat checks, no doubt, and they haven’t a clue what an LLM is, what it is good at, nor what to be wary of. Absolutely ridiculous.

Not a bad list, but 6/9 being there and not pi or 11/32 is just criminal.

The idea that moving your finger slightly to support the smoothe functioning of traffic and the welfare of other humans is not “masculine” enough makes me want to castrate some fuckers.

That’s awesome! Well done, and keep up the hard work. Don’t forget to stretch.

I was thinking, “Glad these are all of the monkey running away. Seeing that running at you would be terrifying.”
Moments later, “Yup, I would shit myself seeing that little guy barrelling at me like that.”

- Comment on BlackRock is Suing UnitedHealth for Giving “Too Much Care” to Patients After the CEO was Murdered 2 months ago:
There’s an entire field of organizational psychology that studies this phenomenon. I have a colleague who has her doctorate in it, super smart person. She gets so frustrated when she gets a call to help solve some org issue and nobody understands pretty much what you just described.
Changing reporting structures and titles only goes so far. At some point you are inside the system and have to observe its rules. Without changing some fundamental piece or pieces you’re going to come to a limit of what you can do. Ever suggest changing incentive structures to match desired outcomes? She has, and won’t be doing it again after being laughed off the job.
If you’re a publicly traded company in a capitalist country I would guess 65% of your culture and behaviors are immovable. And, as of late, I also believe that those 65% are the worst behaviors for humanity.
- Comment on I'd choose 4 tbh 2 months ago:
#4 three times. The rest seem fleeting (money) or attainable through hard work (strength). Unlike others in these comments, I think being happy constantly would be its own type of hell.
But being tall is like being attractive. It is life on easy mode. As a slightly-less-than-average-height person an extra 6 inches would probably be the most permanent, positive impact any of these would have.

There are definitely patty cake cool bumps when you become a parent of a toddler and a grandparent of a toddler. In those moments your coolness is off the chart.

Yeah, this is a common sense thing. If you don’t balance the mass the next time you pull it out of the fridge there’s a good chance the imbalance causes the carton to twist or to bang it on something on the way out.

I do this as well. Killed “bruh” in a weekend. The t-shirt idea is next level, though. Kudos.
- Comment on Prompt engineer : The Hottest AI Job of 2023 Is Already Obsolete 3 months ago:
To be fair, there are tricks to it just like there are tricks for getting better Google results. But “prompt engineering” isn’t a fucking career.
It is evidence of a leadership team that is just clueless.
