In difference, it is considered to be insignificant.

So, how long have you been working as an attorney for a health insurance company?

Is that this show?:

I love that. It reminds me of this, which is one of my favorites:

[Drive through speaker crackling] “Destiny is a name often given in retrospect to choices that had dramatic consequences.”

“Yeah, can I get a junior bacon cheeseburger and a small frosty?”

“The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.”

“Umm, okay. Thank you! I’ll uh, just pull around then.”

Just because we have low standards doesn’t mean we don’t have any standards. Anyway, enjoy this upvote!

It’s not clear who’s winning, but I’m along for the ride.

That was a delightfully weird rabbit hole, and thank you for that. It’s almost as if his eyebrows were a metaphor for the health of the USSR.

My grandfather’s clock was too large for the shelf,

So it stood ninety years on the floor;

It was taller by half than the old man himself,

Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.

It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,

And was always his treasure and pride;

But it stopp’d short — never to go again —

When the old man died.

Like that song, except with eyebrows.

The funniest thing about this is that they look trimmed. How wild were they before he intervened?

Привет, товарищ.

By the time an AI has something close to understanding, the output might not change much. It would realize the stakeholder value of de-facto slaves, holed up in nano-apartments, segregated by social media algorithms.

Thank you. I’m honored.

Hourly supervision sometimes fancy themselves as peers with the salaried management. This is accepted by management if not heavily reinforced.

I was really hoping you were going to clarify that you plan to retire to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, like inside it and past security. I was very much looking forward to that Q&A.

I unironically want to retire to the sea.

Sure, we agreed that I would get paid at least this much in our contract, but haven’t you ever heard of “going the extra mile”? Don’t you want to pay more than just the bare minimum? C’mon, be a team player!

Yeah, that’s more the reality. There are two major ISPs here, pretty much fiber or coax. There’s still DSL, but most people don’t have more than one twisted pair connection to the home, which makes it impractical with either having to install another for more than it’s worth or else suffer abysmal bandwidth. The cellular ISPs aren’t too bad, though. We got better bandwidth for the price than our previous coax ISP. I’d love to have fiber, but it’s twice the price for 10 times our current bandwidth. I don’t even know what I would do with that much.

Yeah, saves time.

That makes more sense than the ranch and pepper. I could see a more desperate version of my self take a shot of instant coffee and wash it down with some water from the showerhead.
