  I usually don’t even realise I’ve fallen asleep. It’s just, one minute I’m lying down with my eyes closed, the next the quiet chimes of my alarm reach me and I’ve fast travelled nine or ten hours into the future, y’know? I get out of bed and carry on with whatever I was doing.

  When my Graphene’d Pixel 7 goes out of support I’m switching to something Linux based even if I have to get a Raspberry Pi and a case and carry around a brick. My handbag’s big enough.

  So you’re telling me that four orgasms is roughly equivalent to doing cocaine?

  Hold that thought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You say that you’ve found concrete proof. But where is the proof? Where is your evidence? Is your theory even falsifiable? In the absense of proof, it seems all we can fall back on is Hitchens’ Razor: what can be stated without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some meetings don't even need to be e-mails.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, this is one of those meetings, except the “doc” is an admin’s e-mail address, and we don’t find out what’s on the agenda until we turn up.

  I suspect it’s job security for the admin, and it’s half an hour a week I don’t have to break down pallets, so I’m ok with it.

  I don’t think so. Surely a friendship is a two-way street, does AI even have the ability to form a friendship?

  Thanks, new guy! My curiosity is very much satisfied :D

  Based on your posting history, you need to find a different line of work, one that doesn’t involve people.

  And if you find one, please let me know so I can do it too.

  This is why you never see cool cats eating hotdogs. If they did, they’d annihilate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. Had no idea that’s how it worked over there, fucking ridiculous. Glad that’s not how it works over here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Michelin Guide is still run by the tyre company, and for much the same reasons - advertising, and getting people to go through their tyres faster (one Star justifies a stop, two Stars justify a detour, three Stars justify a special trip?) Though inspectors do try to offer genuine reviews, because at this point people who value such things trust the Guide because the Guide’s usually pretty close to reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just one factual point - restaurants don’t have to pay for a star. They don’t even have to apply to be considered (but it helps). The only costs are those incurred in running a fine dining restaurant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Candles are the percent gift. Of the receiver doesn't like them they can set them on fire and remove the problem.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My mother-in-law keeps giving me scented candles for my birthday. I’m happy to receive them because it’s one less thing she has to worry about - what do I want for my birthday? Scented candles.

  They all end up in the charity shops but she doesn’t need to know that. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah.

  My bad. I always forget about countries that drive on what, to me, is the wrong side of the road.

  Thanks. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Terrible advice. If you’re not actively overtaking you’re supposed to always be in the left lane.
