  • Can someone please convince him that Trump is a whale?

  • What a macaroon...

  • Is Betteridge's law always correct?

  • Michigan has a Maine accent...

  • I lived un a house that had live 120v DC service.

    There was an electric fan that ran on it. The outlets were only in the basement and identical to each other.

  • As tools, you say....

  • And now we have a former McKinsey consultant as DOT Sec.

    During his term we had aircraft doors coning off midflight, a catastrophic train wreck in Ohio that polluted into New England, a ship tear down a major highway bridge, etc.

    Def presidential material.

  • I think the best way to know what you need is by being you.

    One could walk down a city street, find a shingle that says Psychic, pay the fee, and you'd have a stranger that never met you tell you if you've got something or not. Not that much diff from a shrink who doesn't know you.

    I find it easier to look at what I need and find a path. Doing that is part of making one's personal owner's manual, which process in itself can help with what's needed.

    If people don't trust my word on self-d, they prob don't trust me in other things.

    What you do is what you are.

  • We all knew how this would go before it launched. After how many failed starts?

    The NASA people responsible need to be removed from decision-making.

  • Water and power still need to be reconfigured, obvs we're not there yet, but they don't contain my personal info and can't leak it.

    I'm not against govt working with entities when needed, but it's become a lazy solution to outsource functions and often the blame for failure as well, rather than build a responsible solution.

    It's gotten too cozy and intertwined.

  • And this is why I like catamarans.

  • Karmic Climate

  • The tech world has become and endless conveyor belt of stupid greedy miseries.

    No subscription-based company products should be in public schools. That would stop with inculcating model acceptance.

    No federal agency should be using any subscription product, including any cloud products. Public data should not be capable of being held hostage or monetised.

    Both are a waste of public funds and set a bad example.

    We can put marketing teams in the fields and mines doing honest toil.

  • Use the plugin to archive and replace posts. After a while do the replace again but stop in the middle. Repeat as necessary... it makes the posts different but still not valid.

  • You can look back to Lee Iacocca. The Ford Pintos caught on fire because he sat back at his desk and laughed at the engineers who wanted to add a safety bar back there, the car had to be 2000 dollars no matter what.

    Then he was at Chrysler and pioneered the idea that CEOs could set their own bonuses. At the time it was a shocking idea, called unethical.

    Now the personal tech world comes along....

  • Don't be evil came from an ad agency that did tobacco ads.

  • Tim Cook and Jony Ive.

  • They keep filtering the stupid people, but there's always more.

    I keep wondering what zuck has to do to be more obvious, but it seems like an infinite horizon to someone whe never signed up for any meta product.

    Also, soft switches don't really turn things off. Physical covers over cameras, mics, and speakers can't be overridden.
