Covid happened and gave me work from home.

The order to return to office happened and I said no.

In the back and forth, I defined my official schedule as 9 to 5.

Now, typically I work late a night or 2 a week so I start work a couple hours late/stop work a couple hours early a night or 2 a week.

And there is my tidbit about blowing up Palestinians instead of ensuring Americans have potable water.

Here’s my half baked response.

They can pipeline oil over thousands of miles.

Why can’t they pipeline water?

Oh shit. I think Nestlé heard me and all of our money goes to blowing up Palestinians, not giving drinkable water to Flint.

Disregard please.

It’s your choice.

The whole “be the active person who stops the riches from ruining earth” trope is a lie.

The current US is just as bad as Israel if not worse.

All the losers who either flunked high school or flunked, but had daddy to pay their way have brought fascism back en masses.

If you have the luxury to move to Sweden, or the Bahammas, as far as I’m concerned, do it.

You’ll be in a better place when Israel nukes Iran, WWIII pops off, and the US cripples the internet/critical infrastructure around the world.

Idk dude.

I had a leaded gas goped whose motor was from a weed Wacker.

My step-dad brought home the gas can of unleaded, then I squirted some of the lead additive in the can, and I’d kinda swish the can around before refueling the goped.

Worked for the 2 months before the goped was stolen.

Didn’t end up buying the skylark, so never had my dinosaur juice leadifying skills refined.

Boats, planes, gopeds, racing cars, farm equipment, old cars.

If you arent going to an actual boat/plane/tractor filling station and you just want to, for example, fuel up your goped, you just get regular unleaded and a lead additive and mix them before putting the fuel in the tank.

My first car was almost a completely trashed 1970 Buick Skylark, this was in 2002.

It ran on leaded gasoline, so the plan was that id need to fill the unleaded gas into a gas-can, then mix in the lead additive, shake, and then fill its gas tank.

Ended up getting an 89 Caddy Deville that the seller was asking half as much for.

In the end, there is this great fear of “the AI is going to fully replace us developers” and the reality is that while that may be a possibility one day, it wont be any day soon.

You still need people with deep technical knowledge to pilot the AI and drive it to an implemented solution.

AI isnt the end of the industry, it has just greatly sped up the industry.

Developing with ChatGPT feels bizzarely like when Tony Stark invented a new element with Jarvis’ assistance.

It’s a prolonged back and forth, and you need to point out the AIs mistakes and work through a ton of iterations to get something that is close enough that you can tweak it and use, but it’s SO much faster than trawling through Stack Overflow or hoping someone who knows more than you can answer a post for you.

Overall… I agree with your take.

I counter with electricity costs of keeping them AC units at the clean room mouth running 24/7 vs in presence of new contaminant and how dust blows both ways and mold tends to blow one way.

The plan is already to decimate moon settlers with nuclear meltdowns.

Really highlights how fucking dumb the elite are.

It’s not like one side of the moon is always facing the sun, which has been the chief argument against solar panels for decades and decades (that being: the sun goes down and then solar panels dont generate, so an electric grid that is mostly used at night isnt feasable).

You know, communism/socialism is a failed model that has never succeeded.

Laissez-faire is the only economic model that has been 100% successful every time. Capitalism is the only way to stop the RED MENACE. /s

Now please lemmy/mbin. Commence your “tankie/russian bot” comments.

The sarcasm is that anyone who was paying attention knew all this 20 years ago.

Everyone was too busy pushing the war on Iraq and buying American flag stickers for 30 bucks a pop to notice, however.

I mean, whenever I hear picky eating, especially pickiness about a savory food, I imagine a person who lives on hostess, mountain dew (any kind), fried foods, and formed meat pastes (Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggies).

In general, the food that I was raised on, before I learned how to cook and eat a variety of foods.

I absolutely die for Kalamata olives lightly dressed in olive oil and Italian spices.

Hearing you hate olives makes me think you probably only like Mountain Dew and Chicken Nuggies.

Yes, the modern mindset. Murder the product, preserve the manager’s paygap.

Smacks of “I am placing sanctions on Israel” Places sanctions on 3 men

Ummm, from what ive seen, the general vibe is, you know how your boss would like to chain you to a desk in an office and ignore all your human wants and just make you a mindless drone that does their bidding, and as long as you are chained at that desk, you know that every couple days/weeks/months they will suddenly cater to your needs for a 45min to 4hr task, and based on how they like your performance, you stay chained to that desk or you get your needs catered to just enough to make you want to do WHATEVER you just did again?

That’s what jail/prison is.

Human rights removed. Behavioral programming at maximum.

If I lost my leg right now, I would be destitute.

2 years in a prison and I’d probably be one-leg-hopping all over the place. Or buried out back. And we are learning that American police stations and prisons have a problem with literal shallow graveyards behind their buildings.

One of the major explainers about why badges hate 1st Amendment Auditors.
