They’re probably going to be used in medical devices like pacemakers. So they’ll be in the land but not necessarily a land_fill_

If I’m ever in Scotland I might just take a bite out of the ground to see if I like it

Gimme a nice peaty Laphroaig. Something that tastes like a tire fire on a football pitch
- Comment on James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis 1 day ago:
(Though he’s probably responsible for an equal amount of wasted bourbon and whiskey)

The voters have enough guns to challenge their authority.

Pirate ships were anarchist combat collectives. They’d probably work like that.

My fiancé works at a vet clinic that uses it and she says the doctors love it. The customers, however, don’t like that there’s an AI that listens to their visit so they just say it’s “software”

I only used cassette tape drives a couple times in 3rd grade before we upgraded to Apple IIs, but even then I knew to try putting a music tape in it.
It didn’t work.

- Comment on professional 5 days ago:
During the riot on Jan 6, 2021 I had to get on a Zoom call. I could tell my coworker knew what was going on, but everyone was oblivious.
I had to give a demo and act like my government might not be there when I was done.
Feels about the same every day this year.
Eh, it’s a living
- Comment on DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse 5 days ago:
I was briefly employed at a firm that maintained the sales commission software for a large telecom firm.
It was 1.5 million lines of VB6, though VB8 was already three years old. Nobody knew all of it, so they couldn’t possibly rewrite it to handle all the edge cases and special incentives we kept having to add.
Except maybe the lone QA person, who would frequently begin sobbing at her desk. And we could all hear it because it was an open plan office and we weren’t allowed to wear headphones.
That job was so bad I quit and began freelancing.
- Comment on DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse 5 days ago:
Functional, yes. But rarely are these sorts of things efficient. They’re covered in decades of cruft and workarounds.
Which just makes them that much harder to port to a different language. Especially by some 19 year old who goes by “Big Balls”

Tastykake’s Butterscotch Krimpets changed overnight when they got bought. They’re mealy and don’t have enough butterscotch flavor.
- Comment on I'm sure dolphins will fuck it up in their own special way. 1 week ago:
They did warn humanity, but they talked to the only sane human on the planet who couldn’t convince anyone else.
What else are they supposed to do?
- Comment on I'm sure dolphins will fuck it up in their own special way. 1 week ago:
Dolphins are smart enough to know that “taking over” just means responsibility and stress.
