“Mario Fusco, a great software developer, once said: ‘The code you write makes you a programmer. The code you delete makes you a good one. The code you don’t have to write makes you a great one.’ So maybe, for once, AI is on to something.”

Way to quote someone without understanding a word they’re saying.

I laughed aloud at this. I guess there's also one with text that says "Hereditary, 2018, dir. Ari Aster" and if I ever see THAT one I will laugh all over again.

Happy Saturday! Be safe out there! 😂

So, I requested a copy of a recent MRI from Kaiser-Permanente. They sent it to me on a CD-ROM and as I always do, I checked everything on there for viruses and got an all-time record for amount of malware. 7 total trojans and what not from just one of the files.

Something tells me Kaiser is next to get ransomwared, honest to gerd.

So I'm Facebook friends with Chris Patton, and he works other jobs in the entertainment field to make ends meet. He was at one of those jobs in downtown Houston and one of the event attendees saw his name tag and was "OMG! You have the same name as one of my favorite voice actors!" facepalm PEOPLE! IMDB exists! ANN Encyclopedia is VERY comprehensive! Don't you even CARE what your "favorite voice actor" LOOKS LIKE!? They're PEOPLE, not disembodied voices coming out of your media player like phantoms!! JEEZE!

Anyone have any insight into why this church has what looks like a Magen David with fire in it, suspended over a sea of flames, on their stained glass window?

Apologies for the poor quality photo. I could be seeing things wrong. One panel looks like tnt and a knife, and another looks like an angelic poodle with the grim reaper behind it. 🤔 I know that’s not right.

I believe it is a Lutheran church.

Python "pickle" is insanely useful. It is also about as sensible from a safety standpoint as a chicken-warmed nuclear land mine.

cazabon,

Incompetence in action!

Phone number field validation (on a fillable PDF form...): "Phone number must match pattern 999-9999".

Uh, phone numbers here now require an area code, it's 10-digit dialing...

So, I have a little shop... https://www.etsy.com/shop/RetroFutureTech

... where I sell .

Etsy is fantastic. Except for the part where they're , user-hostile, and provide absolutely zero for sellers (and not much more for buyers).

They just told a of mine to expect their purchase in 5 business days.

Canada 's "delivery standard" for the method selected is 11 business days. And they're not even honouring those standards 'cause of the "emergency".

cazabon,

So I'm going to have a pissed-off customer, who bought expecting his to arrive by a certain special , which if I were able to ask Canada Post if it could be there by that date, they would laugh until they fell down, had a , and went into a .

And there is no way to contact Etsy to tell them to stop doing this. Or do anything else, for that matter.

I was reading something the other day, in a non-political forum, from a guy who is working 50hr weeks. He and his coworkers are barely make enough to pay their bills. The management is always bragging to the employees how they have had record profits.

36 year old grandma and nonce-aficionado Lauren Boebert says conservatives are more oppressed than trans people

A charter school boy was told he can’t wear the “don’t tread on me” flag on his backpack. The GOP exploded

Boebert: “Ironically, if this same boy walked up to his teachers and said that he'd like to mutilate his body and begin to be referred to as a girl they'd celebrate him.”

Note:
Gender affirming care is outlawed in 20 states
the Gadsden flag is outlawed in 0.

NovemberMan,

@flexghost If you live in she's a daily embarrassment. 🙄
