I hate the greedy cynical corporations behind LLMs, and I hate the hype bubble, and I hate my stupid bosses and their AI FOMO. But I don’t hate AI. It’s a broad concept much bigger than chat bots. Hurricane modeling AI is damned good, for one example.

Yup. At my job it’s fairly common for annoying “urgent” requests to come in late afternoon on Fridays. Often from some of the upper management folks who do very little work. They finally realize “whoops, the weekend is almost here!” They suddenly want to check a box somewhere to make it look like they actually did something this week. And, of course, the requests are always a hand-off to someone in my department to do the actual work (which the requestor will take full credit for after we close the ticket).

No thanks. But nice try, travel agent cartoonist!

Joke’s on them. I get up at 5AM and I’m a worthless member of society.

Further proof that the NPP is bullshit. Like the one they gave to Obama.

I am a side sleeper. I find I sleep better if the head of the bed is tilted up a few degrees. So I’m really saying this cartoon is actual science, folks.

It’s the dead eyes. Every photo of Mr. Beast has them.

ShutUp10 is awesome. I have sent them dog treats (donations) multiple times.

Do custom installation (ISO) creation utilities like NTLite still allow you to remove the requirement?

Meh, Gordon Ramsey vibes.

Here’s how I frame it to myself: that person is basically screaming into the void after I block them. Sure, other people on here can see what they wrote, but 99.9% of them won’t care or remember. I was their “intended target” and I’ll never see their stupid comment. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve noticed a lot of troll types really hate being blocked and complain about it fairly regularly. You blocked them, you won the peace of them no longer existing for you.

Also, if you’ve blocked them for being obnoxious, others probably have, too.

Interesting, I didn’t know it costs extra in some places. TIL.

My pets depend on me and I love them.

Remember when tap-to-pay was new and didn’t work at a lot of places and some people were freaked out over it?

And now most of us use it without a 2nd thought.

I speculate passkeys will be like that.

Written by the assistant to the manager, no doubt.

Lot of judgement ITT. At least these guys have someone.

My sense of direction and route memory are complete dogshit, and always have been. When GPS became commonplace it was a godsend for me. But some people are still assholes about it and give grief for using GPS for 95% of my driving. Especially older people.

Thanks!

Dumb question: what is this illustration from? I recognize the art style, but can’t place it.

I’m even crankier. I’ve seen a handful of tats that I thought looked awesome. All the rest looked like some bored jr high kid doodled on the person’s skin.
