Anytime someone uses the idiom “in the trenches”, it makes me wince.

Just find another way to express the idea you want to convey.

The silly thing about Sun Tzu is how obvious most of it is:

"Attack your opponent when you have the advantage..." That kind of thing.

Like, duh.

Business types often aren't great at the whole Humanities thing, turns out.

I'm looking for -- please !

Due to a failed project I have about 1.5M cube of concrete in the ground in the middle of a field with m10 threaded bar poking out.

Originally it was a wind turbine

It's on the brow of a hill..

Other considerations were base for huge zipline, wiggly arm man or Santa..

The more crazy the better please!

Today's free business idea (#3 in the Taffer series, if you're collecting):

  • non-profit to pay open source maintainers a livable salary and benefits if that's what they want
  • support services to help them; mail filtering, community management, whatever
  • provide collective negotiating with cloud providers for deals on CI/CD/infra/security services/etc.
  • a "real business" so companies/governments/whatever can fund it and get tax documents

Bought a new Domain... Probably not worth it but AI figured what the heck.

Gonna try and build a general news site. Never tried and I don't know what I will do there yet.

But I can at least give it a year and see.

@CWSmith I thought you were hinting at the domain with the "AI figured what the heck." But then you said general news and I figured it was just a typo😝😅

@CWSmith@social.mechanizedarmadillo.com avatar

@BeAware

Nah... The AI stuff will probably be heavily used for a seperate project, also a general news site, but this time a fictional Scifi future news.

Something in the Vein of FTL News from the 1990s when Scifi Channel actually spelled their name right.

Looking for name ideas for my future Sharkey instance.

I need to get off of this ridiculous Mastodon ride. Technically, I guess I COULD just do something temporary and then when I delete this instance, remake it with Sharkey and migrate again. I'd have "social" back, but that seems like a lot of work.

It's just gonna be me 99% of the time typing it in manually, so I want to keep it short, but also make sense or even funny/witty.

Trying for 6 characters or less.

Any ideas?

The test of a first-rate is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

  • F. Scott Fitzgerald

“The unfortunate reality is that most people struggle to hold two in their head at the same time, let alone introducing any opposition between those two ideas.”
