I know a person who hates ketchup with all of her soul. Same for mayo, mustard, bbq sauce, any condiment.

However, she’ll eat a sloppy joe drowning in that sauce from the can like it’s her job.

Y’all ketchup haters is weird.

I mean, on average is it any worse than modern politicians?

Also, we’re talking about the same software that seems to do pretty well at fixing errors in spreadsheet formulas and sometimes coding. Not a huge surprise that it is not awesome at tasks with a high level of complexity. Not sure that this is at all a surprise.

I am trying to fix an issue with my car where the mount for an exhaust shield broke off. Claude told me I should drill a hole in my gas tank to attach a mounting bolt.

Everyone need to untwist their undies about AI. It’s neat, but it’s not taking over for a bit.

Nope, dreams and nightmares are good and vivid.

I would love to exit the Roku ecosystem. I don’t use any Apple products and I’m not interested in starting.

It’s amazing how there are really no open-source products in this category of devices.

Same here. I think it was actually this meme that did it. I saw people commenting that they could not and I’m like “ha yeah, of course you can’t, who can do that?”. The lots of people are like, yeah, I can create a complex 3d shape in my mind and manipulate it, turn it, get closer, etc. I’m like WTF who are these megamind savants who can do this. Turns out, most people.

I felt very alone and very incapable after that realization.

All I got is dark gray static. No cows. The occasional moving blob of different dark gray static.

Exactly. Unless you’re cooking or cleaning GTFO of the kitchen. There is a living room, a porch, and several other places you can be. I even put the food in the dining room and people STILL want to stand in stupid places. If you come in then I’m giving you some shit to do. Here, take the trash out you vagrant or get the hell out of here.

Get borger. Cheap, not waterproof, but you can eat it whenever you want in the shower.

Seems like a mighty silly way to blow $500+ bucks. On a puzzle that shoots bullets.

(not everything in wikipedia is correct and sometimes people invent new words)

a hand blender in my sink? TF?

Are you referring to a garbage disposer?

As long as you don’t mind them harvesting every tiny bit of data you feed it.

I don’t like the big US players, but at least they’re doing a tiny bit to keep out of your shit. Deepseek is not pretending at all. I suppose it’s at least honest and the price point is REALLY tempting. Openclaw gets expensive fast with the number of tokens it consumes. I burned through $30 in two days with it using Claude Haiku/Sonnet. Plugging it into cheap LLM is a nice idea, but no thanks.

I am the guy they yell at when no budget is small enough. Please sir may I upgrade the ancient platform that is full of security vulnerabilities or replace it with something more modern. NO and we just put out a $2m go-get, fuck you

(A go-get is when the exec and c-suite want you to give back some or all of your budget because they want it for no reason. Usually the reason is they pissed away too much money on something stupid and unplanned and have to cover the hole. It’s 100% bullshit and I fucking HATE it. What’s the point of setting a budget when you’re just going to steal that shit back half way through the project? Fucking assholes).

Only one time in my career was there a “spare no expense” event at a very big bank that rhymes with shmase. They moved heaven and earth to fix that shit. Of course, they have all the money anyway, so while it was impressive to me, it was probably a rounding error for the people that actually see the real money. Anyone else, when shit goes wrong they just bend the employees over and withhold bonuses and comp increases. I got a fat spot bonus for the one big bank event.

Well that was an enriching read.

Smear all your floors and walls with poop to repel insects. 🤔

I’m a corporate goober, fully institutionalized. I know no other life.

The notion of part time seems so absurd. I’m not saying it is wrong or bad, but just so puzzling, like a concrete life preserver.

I would love to work part time, but nobody would hire a part time cybersecurity leader. The effort it would take to make that institutional change to job sharing would be tremendous. It would just be easier to hire someone else for a little more money.

I will never ever get tired of this meme template.
