Every time I feel old I remember that all of my grandparents lived to well over 90 and that I'm barely halfway through my life. With modern medicine and the Boomers beta testing any advances, I'll probably live to 130 with good quality of life with just over the counter medication and regular automated cancer screenings.
And extra colon cancer screenings if I'm a good boy.
All I'm saying is that if bullets cost $5,000 I bet that toddler would have a hard time affording them
Why would she be exhausted when she has the machine that goes PING! After all it's the doctors who do all the work since they're the experts.

My kid's doctor had their prescription service ransomwared. They paid it, and then got ransomwared again by the same folks.
It's been six months now, the prescription system is broken, and they've been using paper prescriptions since then with no idea when things will get fixed.
If they worked for democratic cooperatives and not dictatorial corporations they would have power to raise their pay and work less.
Same with Stevie Wonder's "You Haven't Done Nothin'"
We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you'll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you
We are the cult of Civ and Sid Meier is our prophet.
I saw a clip on Just Rolled In where a lady in a Lexus thought she was trapped in her car when the electrics failed, as did the firefighters who broke her window, despite there being manual releases on both the inside and the outside of the car.
Some are, but NOWHERE near the majority.
I disagree with a lot in this post, but this is what I disagree with the most.
I'm with you but I'm still hesitant because I like my manual transmission
I use the phrase "nipped to the tits" to describe my cat being high on catnip or me being high on weed
Catnip is also my secret ingredient in mojitos. It has a mellower flavor that compliments the mint well, and the moderate sedative effects of catnip tea make the rum more effective.
I think that was also around the time the timeline went from chronological to algorithm-based
This has always been the first stage of enshittification. Twitter back in 2007 was pretty nice. I made a lot of local friends because they'd post cat pictures and food pictures and we'd have meetups. Really great folks that I found because their posts showed up in a chronological feed alongside other ones I follow.
Then when they switched to an algorithmic feed all those posts by people with low follower counts got drowned out by ones with activity. My friends were still there, I just didn't see them because The Algorithm decided I didn't want to. I stopped using Twitter not long after that.
Or if you just want to inform management that more people won’t simply mean the work gets done much faster just give the example of “If takes 9 months for a woman to make a child, it doesn’t mean you can get 9 women and make a child in one month”
Management: "I don't have time for theoretical discussions. Marketing says this releases in two weeks and you better get it done. Do you need more resources?"
Because the Dem leadership is obsessed with appealing to an increasingly tiny portion of the electorate, alienating everyone to the left of Reagan who isn’t in the “Blue No Matter Who” cult of settling for second worst.
No, because land area determines the legislature and not population. The Republican Senate hasn't represented more than half the population in the US since 1996, but had control for most of that time. Every Democratic majority is a short-lived thing after massive uphill battle, because America leans hard to the right we value land area more than people.
In short: This is the best our government can do, because it's structurally deficient and Americans are pretty dumb.
The cloud at least made a bit of sense. Offload the requirements of hosting an app or colocating a server to other folks, and you just use it. It's somebody else's computer, and it's their problem if something goes wrong.
The problem is that the MBAs making the decision didn't understand what was going on in the first place, so "the cloud" because a catch-all buzzword for anything they didn't want to think too hard about.
