I hope I’ve been sufficiently janky for you with my posts.

Which is great for one application, but two spaces after each period would be hell to edit down to AP Style.

I mean, Ctrl+H and switching two spaces to one is easily doable, but that’s not where I want to start the editing process.

Serious fucking “I can fix him” vibes. When you have longitudinal data going back decades and zero instances of “associate didn’t get fucked,” I question your business acumen.

All I expect from my VPN is protection from my ISP seeing exactly what I’m doing and selling those data to advertisers. If true anonymity online is doable, there are far more steps to take to achieve it.

I’m relatively certain most of the masses you describe are still unaware they’re being used.

They hear words they like, which come along with actions they can’t even put in their reality, so they must be fiction. I’ve been in an abusive relationship. It’s rather like classic Star Trek: No matter how traumatic an experience was, you wake up in the morning, and it’s all been reset. You pretend it didn’t happen, because if you start seeing a pattern, you suddenly see the problem, which is a very human response.

I’m pretty sure there haven’t been hippie CEOs since Ben and Jerry.

That worked out swimmingly for them.

Huh. Fuckups like this have never happened before.

Because 90% accuracy is acceptable for financial institutions …

Going to have to challenge the math here … 20% of 10 is two, not four. Granted, HR may cull four anyway, but in terms of what LLMs can currently do, HR is a perfect thing to replace. Literally all they do is follow rules to benefit the company. Sounds a bit like coding to me …

In high school, we had a script to answer the phone: “It’s another great day at Boston Market, how can I help you?”

This was my first experience with malicious compliance. We weren’t told the intonation we should use, so “great day” dripping with sarcasm at the end of a double-shift technically passed.

Much obliged.

I mean, I’ll applaud any push toward Linux.

I’m reminded of a time I was in a bar in Georgia at a conference. It was in the hotel, and a high-ranking editor for the then-reputable Washington Post bought me a beer. He let me take a sip before launching into how much “immature shit [I] need to get out of [my] system” before being ready to be “Post material.”

Where is any industry going to be in a decade, when no one’s been mentored?

This is four sentences that leads to a 404 source link.

My first Civic was a 1996, which was a new body style from 1995, but I can confirm about the same mileage.

Thing was, it was an automatic. My 1998 was a stick. I spent as much time in neutral as possible.

It’s worse than I got in my 1998 Civic, so I’m not sure I’d agree.

Arithmetic says 16.67km/L (I’m converting here for those of us across the pond), working out to 39.2 mpg. I was consistently exceeding 50 mpg.

Chech your work:

It is rare to see something like this. We have their, there and they’re, but there isn’t a fourth option.

Well, you don’t want to use birdshot with eugenics.
