I could squint a little and make a case that this represents a CEO who is about to spend a shitload of company money on AI (or any anti-human venture) rather than employees.

Not if you’re lactose intolerant! But then it’s also a shit post. A violent and painful one.

In the late 90s (or maybe 2000) in the US Midwest, I remember paying $0.79 a gallon, or $0.21/L. With the exchange rate then, it works out to £0.13/L. So yeah, it was cheap. I filled my 15 gallon tank for the cost of 2 hours at my just above minimum wage job.

I probably spent hours of my youth fixing these.

People who moved around and swapped the phone from ear to ear constantly were the usual culprits. If you twist one way, you have to twist back. Ignoring the reconciliation just led to this mess.

Really no different than a hose or extension cord.

Inspired by 1975 F1 cars.

Looks like Volvo to me.

Rather, the Hawaiian law is based on the fact that in the United States, corporations are created and given their powers by the charters of the individual states. Indeed, corporations simply are a legal creation of the state, everywhere they exist, by definition. The new law simply states that corporations doing business in Hawaii do not have the power to engage in local, state, or federal political campaigns, that that was not one of the powers enumerated in the state’s corporate charter. It further specifies a range of penalties—including losing the right to conduct any business in the state at all—if they do.

I spent an hour today on a webinar about how to optimize token usage with more than 500 other participants from the company I work for. Because billing is about to have its come-to-Jesus moment.

That’s probably an actual quote? It’s so bad, I find it hard to tell.

This could genuinely be actual dialogue from True Blood.

I drunkenly hate watched a season and change of that ages ago and can still hear the vampire guy grunting “Sookeh.”

Or maybe a herniated thorasic disc.

For sure (our Volvo is 1 year too old to have the android automotive system and … It would be better). The Amazon effort that powers the Alexa + Ford sync business isn’t quite at that depth: it’s an API with always online “AI learning” stuff OEMs can integrate.

Ford has had Amazon Alexa built-in for something like 5 years …

The minimalist quid pro quo.

Well, I’m not using a vacation day. So I’m cleaning out the garage and staying “online”.

Sure. Just need some info about the options: regular or super cab, and which bumper it had. Seems like it was always the 8ft bed though.

Real quick math: ~7,139 of my truck (Ford F150 lightning at 19ft 5in), so 14,278 half pickup trucks in a marathon.

Negative. I did debate on which distance to use.
