I was in the pool!

Not even when you could responsibility have kids. Honestly, it’s all downhill once you’re like 12-14.

Sharing this post I made 5 months ago:

I’m an IT consultant and I had a meeting with AWS yesterday. My manager asked me to give the AWS team an overview of our solution so they could see what they could use for a new program they were pitching our clients. That’s all the information I had, so I started the meeting by saying “I’m not sure what you all are proposing, so I’m going to give you a high level but please let me know where you need more details.”

After I had finished giving my overview, I tried to get more info out of them about what they were proposing to build. I shit you not, their response was that they wanted to "build an app that allowed the business to run with AI and ML (Machine Learning).”

They didn’t say, “we want to solve X and Y problems” or “enable Z functionality.” Literally their entire goal was to build something with AI. I’m glad I wasn’t on camera or in person, because I literally face-palmed.

This boy’s got the look of a future Supreme Court Justice.

You know there’s just some middle school English teacher out there making memes just for this purpose.

I love the angry eyebrows in the last panel

I’m curious if this is a straight port or if they updated anything.

I think there are a few unchecked bots that do that. Every once in a while I’ll make a post or comment and it goes to 0 immediately.

I watched The Wire way too late in life. I watched it last year and my wife couldn’t get into it because of the old technology, but fuuuuuck was it good.

And then once you finish it, you can watch Breaking Bad again. Then El Camino. Then loop back around the Better Call Saul again. And once you’re done, you can watch Breaking Bad again…

The thing that’s so great about Mr. Robot is that it ends perfectly. You can tell the show writers decided exactly what story they wanted to tell and then executed on that plan. They didn’t just meander about and eventually land on a half-assed ending once the show’s budget dried up.

That sounds interesting. I feel like that tiny but of context would probably draw more people to see it. Not sure why they kept it all mysterious.

Any idea on what the movie is actually about? I saw an interview with Aubrey Plaza where they asked her and she gave a very vague answer.

Denethor, the bean licking champion of Gondor.

One day if we are brave, we will get rid of the U in a lot of British words like color and armor, but by God we will keep the British U in the word glamour!

I went back to Voyager, which is a shame because I really like Sync and pay for the premium version. But yeah, it’s completely unusable right now.

Hard to say. That study you linked mentions reductions in speed and crashes in the vicinity of the camera, which to me indicates that people are only slowing down because they know a camera is there. I suppose someone would have to do a study to see if speed cameras reduce speeds and crashes in areas where there aren’t currently cameras, but have been in the past. Meaning that people are slowing down in areas where they think there might be cameras.

I think the sentiment against them stems from the fact that there are ways to reduce speeds without feeling like they’re being used as a revenue stream.

Personally I like when there are warning signs saying “Speed camera in use ahead” since it has the effect of slowing down traffic and not feeling like a “gotcha” moment.

Dude was just destroying his lunch and Peter Jackson whispered, “shhh… get the camera.”

I’ve always been curious to know what direction that actor was given for that scene. “Don’t just eat that tomato. Eat it in such a nasty, graphic way that it’ll make people uncomfortable for decades to come.”
