“So close.” sigh

Not a shortage, per se, but apparently cocoa products are getting more expensive due to a poor growing season or disease or some other thing heralding the end of days.

Wife sent me this the other day. It is about double what it usually is.

Check out the Amazon price rising (not an Amazon link):

Committees are incapable of making art.

A t-shirt slogan I would wear.

Wonder what the turnover rate in executives is. I bet it is about 8 years.

This 1000x. You think that senior dev got to that level hoping one day all they’d have to do is evaluate randomly generated code? No! They want to create, build, design, integrate, share. Cut out the middle, useless step and get back to the work these professionals have dedicated their careers to.

How in the glorious fuck was this not a thing from the start? In a system this big and this critical all code should be reviewed by cognizant individuals. Anyone who thought an LLM would be perfect and not need code reviews has their heads so far up their asses they can see through their pee hole.

Moving the stuff inside and the fees and the increased interest rate cost another 1 house. If we’re keeping track, that’s > 1 house to move to one house other than your current one house.

Take. My. Money.

Your dad is my spirit animal.

You’re my hero-of-the-day™ for putting quotes around AI. Thank you for all you do.

+1 on the bathroom. Few things suck more than having a morning coffee shit at the office, wiping with that ridiculous tissue paper that disintegrates if you get it near water, and then walking around all day with an air of confidence even though you know there is no way you got it all.

Protip for office dwellers: keep a single pack Dude Wipe or similar at the office so you can poop without it being a biological hazard. Just don’t forget it. Asking a random coworker to grab one out of your desk is awkward.

You know those times at the office where things are slow so you walk the hallway or bullshit with colleagues or make a coffee run or spin in your chair?

You know what I’m doing during those times? Petting my dog. Making a sandwich. Pooping on my own toilet with three ply TP.

Different people like different things, I suppose. I don’t miss the commute or the bullshit, but I do miss interacting with colleagues. And I’m pretty sure I haven’t been promoted because I don’t have enough face time with the bosses. All that to say I am mixed on it.

Pretty sure that’s their whole game. More projection, I guess. sigh

Don’t you dare suggest FreeCAD.

I have a Hope/Hate relationship with FreeCAD. Sometimes I can get it to do something useful and I get hopeful. Then I try to do something simple and ruin the entire design and have to start from scratch and I curse the developers lineage for all of time. I want it to be great, and it is closer than it has ever been. But it isn’t a replacement for professional design suites.

You’ve convinced me that we need more users given the high number of current posters who like to criticize others with insults reminiscent of a bratty 5th grader. We need to dilute that voice.

That’s a very capitalist take. Remember how good things used to be? That’s how good the Fediverse is now. We don’t want it to grow or die. If it grows, great. If it doesn’t, great. Quality over quantity, imo.
