Motherfucker, I want you to schedule meetings with me, so that I can effectively manage my own time, and not get jerked around at your whim whenever you decide that “we” should do something completely stupid. If you don’t want to have to schedule meetings with people, you don’t value their time.

What you perceive as “looking busy” is quite often me letting things cook a little bit when I’m at an obstacle (technical or otherwise). My taking space to think and make sure I am not just flailing around in a panic all the time or saying the wrong thing the wrong way to the wrong people makes me more effective.

But you wouldn’t know any of that, because you’re a chode.

Taking design cues from the flying dildo, I see.

“No one else was in the room where it happens.”

If you have a Voodoo card laying around, it might be worth some money. They were used in some coin-op arcade games.

And the article only refers to airlines in east and southeast Asia.

Oh, I definitely wouldn’t say that “no contact” should be the only option. I think McD’s has taken it a bit too far; you still can order from a person at a register, but it’s pretty much an afterthought now.

But I do think that having those no contact options available for whoever wants to use them, for whatever reason, is a positive thing. If I’m having a particularly bad bout of social anxiety, just sitting at a table and eating my cheeseburger “like a normal person” can be very grounding, but it might not be something I’m able to do if I have to talk to a person to place my order.

Culver’s has started doing tableside ordering at some stores. Go in, sit down, scan the QR at the table. Takes you to a website where you can order and pay. They bring your food to you. It’s amazing, especially for those “I need a cheeseburger without having to talk to anyone” times.

Cooling towers

Yeah, this opinion piece reeks of “buyer’s remorse” for having paid a premium for hardware that has the Apple logo on it, and then being mad that it’s very locked down. That’s been Apple’s thing forever, you kind of can’t blame anyone else for your purchase decision at this point.

For most people, the hardware and operating system are “one thing,” inseparable. Most people are not installing a different OS on their hardware, even if it is possible and relatively simple for people who are technically inclined. Does that mean that most people are “locked in”? Not really, not from their perspective. They bought “the thing,” and “the thing” either works for them or it doesn’t.

So we have this author lamenting that “the thing” he bought doesn’t work for him the way he’d like, without recognizing that if he had specific needs from “the thing” that it doesn’t provide, he failed to sufficiently research “the thing” before purchasing it.

Careful now, spez might see this post and ban you from reddit for it.

Minutes? I literally do not believe he has the capacity to recall anything from “minutes” ago.

It’s okay, we’ll all be able to go back to Digg soon.

Be the change you want to see?

They want violence.

I mean, you could imagine it for a moment.

I am now offering Planck services for sale, at US$0.0001 per bit.

For an extra fee, you can even choose the value of the bit.

Puzzled? Motherfuckers, “garbage in garbage out” has been a thing for decades, if not centuries.

Can you imagine what a “black hole fusion accident” could look like?
