Here, “Enjoy” more exposure.

Fair warning, this ran on public TV in France allegedly. Technically SFW, but it’s pushing it.

Put me in coach.

Watching him suffer any kind of consequences is heaven for the rest of us.

Every data center I’ve ever been in has not looked like this.

What is the point of the overhead walkway? Why the blue lights? Way too many doors to get in and out. There aren’t clear definitions of hot aisles and cold aisles…

TBF, it’s legal to take a picture of your ballot now, so you can sell your vote in other ways.

Aww shoot. This X is next to the name, not the circle.

This person made an x, then lined out the name and put an X on another candidate.

This X is actually just a /

If you’ve ever had to grade a scantron test, you would know how hard “fill in the little circle completely, and only fill in one circle per question” is for the general population.

NGL. I’m expecting most conservatives to be dead after a few weeks of us not reminding them not to drink bleach or using ivermectin to cure literally anything except parasitic infections.

Yes. And it keeps working.

This one is funny for me. I write almost exclusively in cursive, with a fountain pen, and for a while I drove a stick-shift car and wore a mechanical analog watch.

I do/did those things because I appreciate the extra attention that it takes to do/use them. I think there is a certain fulfillment that you get from doing everyday things in an older or archaic way.

I also think that schools and education for children should be about fostering an innate sense of curiosity and self-impovement/fulfillment. In that light, I think schools should teach some of those outdated, more cultural topics, for the same reason that we teach poetry, or literature. I don’t think we should be grading kids on it though, or failing them because they can’t read an analog clock.

“You won’t always have a calculator in your pocket.”

Out of all the wrong things I was taught in school… A calculator is probably the least complex thing I have in my pocket at all times.

However, understanding basic math, up to algebra and trigonometry is extremely useful on a daily, if not at least weekly basis.

Say what you will about having an anime girl wrap on your car, but everyone sees you and gives you plenty of space on the road.

I might mock the method, but I can’t argue with the results.

Quando omni flunks, moritati.

Or a real piece of advice from my grandpa when I got my first “real” job.

“Everyone wants to feel important.”

If you are working with 20 different clients on a product today, each one of them should feel like they matter more to you than the one before, or the one after. Make time to talk with them. Ask questions to know more about them or their business. Do a little research beforehand if you can. Make sure that you know their name, and that they know yours.

And was the code better, cleaner and more readable?

I’m going to interject here. I’ve got family who does software development professionally, and has leaned heavily into AI to assist with coding, and the answer is ‘yes’, but there are some caveats. If you just tell an AI what to do and let it run hog-wild, you end up with shit. When you have an experienced programmer review and have the AI make targeted changes, it is extremely effective. Some of his projects are seeing 1000% improvements on resource usage and/or compute time.

Here is the rub though. You’re not going to end up with experienced programmer to manage programming AI agents if they never get any actual experience programming because they’ve just been having an AI do all the coding for them.

Huh, I didn’t realize you can’t buy second hand EVs. Gonna have a tough time explaining the my wife why the Mustang is gone.

You can buy EVs secondhand. You’d be hard pressed to find a sub 10k EV “beater” but there are plenty of used EVs in the 15-25k price range in my area, and are equivalent in features to used cars in the same bracket.

I went off the power supply maximum output. 5.1 volts, 3 amps, so 15 watts per hour. 24hrs per day, 365 days a year, so 131,400 watt-hours, or 131kilowatt-hours. My electricity is about $0.25/kwh (advertised at 0.09/kwh, but when you add on bullshit fees, the final rate is much higher), so I came up with $32.85 as the maximum amount any device connected to that power supply could cost.

$50/year electrical bill for a Pi?!

Nevermind, I just did some back of the napkin math and came out around 35 a year if I was running one full power 24/7, so yeah, that is the right ballpark guess for a maximum.
