“How’d they die?”

“Injested a large quantity of coin batteries and corn kernels.”

“Why on Earth would anyone do that?”

“Appears to be a generative AI strategy to optimise contemt velocity.”

I’ve worked for two organisations that distributed licences for users. Being able to prove, under scrutinisation, that your general requests do not need to be questioned for that level. Anything above your level of liberty in the data governance would be checked—though 99% of the time you already know this and explain in full detail on the request to help.

It worked perfectly and I don’t know why it’s still not the norm.

In a ‘wet cement’ org structure, often the specialists in an area know far more about what’s going on than the juniors gatekeeping. If you aren’t buddies with the person on top, you join the queue and a 5 min job becomes 6 months and several meetings; if you don’t already botch a dodgy workaround before then.

Edit: I’m in year 3 of getting the Oracle SQL add-on allowed to direct query, read only, in Excel. My current workaround is to use the IDE to export to CSV, store on SP, then PQ that… And, yeah, I have write access in the IDE even though I keep telling them that’s bad… Apparently, that solution is more secure. I’ve spoken to the CIO about the concerns and how it breaks the fundamentals of our data governance framework. The new infrastructure architecture gets it, but has to spin the better way of doing things as a “trial” which has taken 6 months to approve and counting…

Oh they just don’t get F1 yet.

Talk about the mid-pack teams only with him. We all know the good shit is with Alpine, RB, Haas, and crossing fingers for Williams and Audi. Following one driver and one team, may as well just put the 4 min YT highlights on instead of watch the actual racing.

Maybe remind him the Max has no trophies. They all go back to the team after the race.

Probably a good idea, OP. The F1 fanbase has become a circus in the past decade. A lot of newcomers bringing their tribalism mentality of other sports along with them, not understanding how F1 works.

If you actually do want to get involved in a motorsport fanbase, GTs. But watching the NLS stream with chat while Max is in a team can be fatiguing. 100+ teams on track over many classes, so effectively 16 races going on, and every five mins his fanbase, that has no idea what they’re watching, start arguing about F1. Some genuinely say it’s their first GT race and ask a lot of questions, the fanbase is thrilled and explains everything with welcoming arms.

The “r” word isn’t specific to mental shortcomings. That’s slang and is shortened from the actual mental-specific terms. It is used a lot for its proper meaning in many fields, one of which is obviously medicine.

Just like any sound that comes from a mouth, it’s not the letters, it’s the intent. If we start erasing words because people lack any knowledge of them, we’d need to readdress the entire language. In this case, people use a short-form of it (the word only) to incorrectly disparage a person with a condition they do not have. Such as idiot, moron, spastic, etc. which all have the same historical weight and use as retard, so are no different. The only difference is a lack of knowledge and defaulting to being offended, which is exactly what the person saying it as slang intended.

That intent could be with any word.

Can’t blame her

Ah! So irony can be a noun.

Yeah, right.

They’ve been saying this for years…

“Scientists” alright? Pff

lights a cigar with a barrel of crude oil

Idiots.

I’m an extrovert that has years of experience with this scale of furniture between dorms and share houses.

This is efficient.

If someone offered help, I’d accept it and tell them where the desk is.

I don’t even know why stuff appears. Recently I got a bunch of NASCAR come up. I think it’s because I follow the NLS in Germany and watched an Obama video and that mooshed motorsport and the USA into the algorithm.

Hmmmm… It must be something else then… It’s definitely not obvious, that’s for sure.

Everyone else sees someone talking to their shadow

Not sure what you mean. But for anyone that cares enough to pay attention to likes and dislikes, there it is.

I think the front end of YT, the dislike button exists purely for algorithmic purposes these days; both macro and micro curating.

But the foundation of public ratings is the ad populum fallacy.

It still does and you can see the usual like:dislike ratio as normal with SmartTube and other similar and far better, feature-rich applications for YT content.

Oh yeah, I’ve had that twice. Windows Update not fathoming anything but itself existing so just nukes the UEFI and installs itself as dictator.

In my experiences, it’s Windows Update in the background causing the lag. Doing it’s shitfuckery things, planting it’s shitfuckery seeds, waiting for restart season to trigger the bloom…

It is funny though, “Updates! You need to restart!”

“Oh, okay!”

Restart > GRUB auto boots to Linux.

I know it’s a future me problem, but I’m in Windows for work like once a month these days. That’s fine.

👍

Imagine getting assigned Kash Patel at the handler academy. Everyone else gets these super cool ones and you get that.

Then he keeps showing up in your personal life, but everyone tells you to be nice because he’s like the idiot runt, but all your handler buddies still give you shit at weekend BBQs.

I think you need to disengage from the internet a bit.
