And somehow Trump is better. /s

Nearly 2 years ago we were considering moving to San Francisco and I began to search for jobs. I found one that I was well qualified for and took a deep look at, but backed out because it was full of all this bold-faced language about 40 hours on prem and how remote would never be permitted. The wording really seemed a bit shocking to me and I backed the heck away. It was OpenAI and they tried to fire Altman like a month later. I am so glad that I walked away from that, the whole thing is terrifying.

stoly ,

The new ones would surely do that.

stoly ,

I had the same take--less going on to exfiltrate.

stoly ,

I’ve been on unit Internet since before there was an Internet and I’ve never heard of this site!

stoly ,

It’s not really about liberty, it’s about freedom from taxes and consequences. They don’t get far enough in the reasoning to understand that they would benefit.

stoly ,

Because eventually you will be old and sick. It’s short sighted not to consider that.

Bill Gates had exactly the same opportunity. It turns out that when you’re rich and never have to worry about a single thing in your life it gives you room to be very creative.

stoly ,

Seriously they deserve what they get for not appreciating what they had.

stoly ,

That’s a cop out. There are plenty of terrible people in that state.

Quincy jones got an honorary doctorate and spoke at mine. It was cool.

stoly ,

How about the governors suggest that their residents don't travel internationally with ammunition?

stoly ,

When you go into someone's house, you follow their rules.

They traveled with their normal bag they go around with in regular life. Lesson: NEVER TRAVEL WITH THE BAG YOU CARRY AROUND DAILY because you will forget what's in there.

stoly ,

I carry a pocket knife and a BIC lighter for utility needs. I have nearly forgotten to take out the pocket knife before leaving for the airport. I have also seen other stories like this, so I decided that my courier bag for travel is not the same one I use daily.

stoly ,

I agree that it's not. But adjusting what you do can protect you from this sort of thing.

stoly ,

And yet, this keeps happening so it may actually be difficult.

stoly ,

I don’t have or want a gun. I think they are stupid. I’m just saying that I get how it could happen.

stoly ,

Where’d I say that they weren’t responsible? I’m saying I can see how it could happen. It’s unclear why this bothers you.

stoly ,

And yet how many stories like this have we seen this year? A state legislator was arrested over this as well.

stoly ,

I’m going to guess that you dislike signs that warn of danger. Or warnings about keeping plastic bags away from babies. Those exist for exactly this reason. Warnings about being careful not to leave children in hot cars exist for this exact reason.

Maybe I'm just new, but I just realized you can Ctrl-select or Ctrl-dblclick individual, separate pieces of text and copy them to the clipboard in one operation.

I have no idea how long this has been a thing, and maybe every clipboard works that way, not just Plasma, and I never realized it. It also lets you do things like Rt-click on it and do the regular operations like Search in Firefox. Spaces aren't preserved unless you specifically select them but search engines seem to be able...

I am making an assumption that you grew up with something like an iPad. This isn't your fault, you had no reason to learn it before. Now that you have a need to do these things, you figured it out by accident just through exposure.

stoly ,

Oh, me too. Hi young Gen X/old Millenial.

I think I must have accidentally figured this all out in high school. This is good proof that everyone has different experiences.

stoly ,

How do you check it?

stoly ,

Thanks, good to know!

stoly ,

I went for years without fluoride. I preferred the flavor and how my mouth felt with the more “natural” ones. Now I switch back and forth, but still avoid Colgate, crest, etc.

stoly ,

It does sound like some armchair reasoning rather than observation or study.

stoly ,

It’s notable that medical journals went evidence based in the 70s but only some dental journals made the same switch.

stoly ,

Your kidneys understand what they are doing better than you do.

Gosh I wish that Denver were a bigger city. Colorado really is a lovely place.

stoly ,

San Francisco, Chicago, NYC. Those are cities. Denver is a very large town.

stoly ,

There really isn’t much in the way of detection. It’s a big problem in schools and universities and the plagiarism detectors can’t sense AI.

Do you need a dentist visit every 6 months? That filling? The data is weak ( arstechnica.com )

A 2020 Cochrane review that assessed the two clinical trials concluded that "whether adults see their dentist for a check‐up every six months or at personalized intervals based on their dentist's assessment of their risk of dental disease does not affect tooth decay, gum disease, or quality of life. Longer intervals (up to 24...

Why would you double down here? This is known to be false by everyone present. Learn a new fact and move on with your life.

stoly ,

High ideals but no means. They become hoarders and run out of money. Also it’s an org that long ago stopped being healthy.

stoly ,

I’m saying that they don’t bring in enough money to truly be a no kill org. Essentially they are saying one thing and not doing it themselves.

As far as the org, it’s my belief that it started out with people who genuinely cared for animal welfare and wanted to do something about it. Over time the psychos edged out the good folk and now we get idiots breaking into university primate labs and releasing monkeys on the street.

stoly ,

Frankly I’ve not paid attention over recent years so we may both be wrong here.

stoly ,

How many times have you been? I married one. I’ve gone. It’s fine.

stoly ,

I never knew that was a thing!

stoly ,

You missed the part in the comment about how it was your ancestors that started the trend.

stoly ,

lol ever been to Houston?

Which movies have aged like fine wine? (either in their message or cinematography)

I recently saw 'Don't Look Now' (1973). Good picture, a little slow perhaps by today's standards but worthy of any movie enjoyer's time! So this movie was shot in Venice. Venice itself being an already beautiful spot to film even today. The way we get to look in a time capsule of Venice in the 70s makes the movie that much...

stoly ,

The Sixth Sense is a fantastic movie. None of the stuff Shamalan came up with after are really worth it, but this first movie is wonderful.

stoly ,

Yep. They'll play him up on national media once or twice then send him off to be a bullet sponge.

stoly ,

Yes but those places don’t hire people who have ever used cannabis even though that is most of the college educated population. So really you’re screwed either way.

stoly ,

I recall when Times New Roman was default. Calibri felt strange at first.

stoly ,

My mother was the god of the drive-by shaming where she would complain about my potential and then walk away without offering any sort of help.

Don't forget penises, some of us like them.
