Everything runs on speculation now, not the actual value of something.

I saw a similar video but with a raccoon instead. Wow, I wonder if that was AI as well, or if it was the original this one was patterned after.

I owned a Soul. I loved it, small car but huge and spacious inside. Fun to drive and very economical with gas. But then they didn’t install immobilizers on them as standard, so the KiaBoyz trend happened. Insurance kept going up, and that’s if you weren’t declined outright. So I traded it in after 4 years of ownership.

Isn’t this what insurance is doing now with all the data harvesting? But I guess the threat of insurance premiums going up still doesn’t deter reckless drivers either.

That’s why I don’t clean all the webs on my front porch, totally not because I’m lazy. Whenever I get unsolicited visits from pest control companies, I see their eyes roaming around my front porch as they do their sales pitch, excited to point out all the “pests” in my house.

What about those Uber and Lyft LED signs drivers put on the dash? Are those banned also?

my brother in law keeps one of these in the door pocket in his truck

Is it printed with the back of the hand on the other side? Because if that’s the front, it looks like he’s giving himself the finger.

Copilot is disabled by default in my company. And there’s literally a new policy/guideline about the use of AI/LLM in the workplace being released every month because of how rapid changes are happening. Not that employees aren’t allowed to use them at all, but are restricted in what they are allowed to use.

I’ve been very happy with Mullvad. I hope they never enshittify.

Because back in my home country, government salaries are abysmal. Yes the pension is great, but you’ll basically be living on a low salary that is just enough to get you by, your entire life. A career in tech paid more than double (sometimes triple) and you can invest for your retirement in other ways to supplement your social security benefits.

It was basically advice from someone who lived in a time when government was your best option for a job, and tenure was more valued.

Yeah. When I was 2 years into my working life (in tech), I was still taking advice from my dad (who worked in two government agencies his entire life). When I told him I’m switching jobs (for the first time), he told me to consider working in government because the longer you work there, the better your pension at retirement. This was at a time when the tech boom was starting, IT jobs were becoming the highest paid in the market, and switching every couple of years gets you paid better than a promotion. As a 20 year old in tech, the low salaries in government wasn’t exactly enticing.

The color getting very red as they arrive is so accurate, where it gets even more unbearable as your body senses the toilet is close.
