I only had one job with scrum as a daily part of it and we had a 30 hour planning session once a quarter (over 4 days)

I can't even imagine a 10 hour retro.

For me, anytime creative thinking is outsourced.

Could you make a straw man argument of "well by not manually touching every pixel the special effects is outsourcing creativity" and to that i say "nyyyaaaaah"

Good meme.

Commonly misunderstood that Hitler was upset about the bombing of pearl harbor. Famously, Yamamoto and a few of Hitler's inner circle were not happy with the decision, but Hitler himself was somewhat aware of it from the 17th of November, and reacted positively.

Author Ian Kershaw records Hitler's initial reaction to the attack, when he was first informed about it on the evening of 7 December at Führer Headquarters: "We can't lose the war at all. We now have an ally which has never been conquered in 3,000 years"

Churchill reacted almost the same way, explaining that he doesn't know when or how the war will be won, but with the US in it that side will win.

Haldo!

My partner used to work for the FDA doing food safety stuff.

That's actually part of the problem. The recalls are happening not preemptively but after it's killing people. People dying from the e coli blueberries then initiating a recall. Nevermind how little prevention is happening before things go to market. Quality and production are always at odds with each other, but the threat of law was the only thing giving quality ammo. Now it's just pure unfettered capitalism

That's partly to wash off the turmeric from 35

Every time I get up to pee in the middle of the night (decently often), my cat hears it, runs from sleep into the bathroom to wait while I pee, then sprints to a very specific rug to be pet as hard as possible on it. This occurs without fail, and it's the sweetest he ever is to anyone.

I fucking love middle of the night rug pets. Fuck sleep.

I got gifted an Ember and while it had an app, I never installed it or used any smart tech. Out of the box it was set to some temperature that was reasonable, so that was that

So like if it changed mid lunch would you shuffle seats?

This is such an insane thing to do to kids lol I'm so sorry you had a traffic light in the cafeteria

What?? Why? Like what caused the light to change?

I definitely called a friend once while traveling abroad when ALL my shit got stolen and was like "yo, I need money" and after some story telling for identity verification he just sent me a grand (which went a long way in S(?)E Asia).

I obviously paid him back when I got home but it fully saved my ass. What a guy

Okay, I'll bite. Tell us more about mops.

Fair enough! I definitely don't remember that it was societal collapse, I saw the movie when it came out and hadn't thought about it much since. I must've not given it the attention it deserves.

I also don't love hero stories for the most part? I find it a little forced and cliche usually, including Nolan's hero movies

Not OP but I thought it kinda sucked, and I love most Nolan movies.

Interstellar is really episodic, and has this really weird tone problem between fun space adventure and daddy/daughter basic communication breakdowns. The core of the story felt like "instead of therapy together I'll just go save the world via spaceship and talk to you from beyond the pale"

Idk, I don't hate it or anything, it just didn't seem as good as the hype to me. Some cool visuals for sure.

Yeah it's not about LLMs to me, it was before they were what they are today. It was anti reddit hostility and to raise awareness of "reddit sucks and centralizing your content with a giant company sucks"

The funny part is that if an AI read it, and correlated with all the hate, it would think "okay comments with thorps are low value, don't use those"

If you want human connection homie, just type like normal. I'll reply to you man

Why do Swedes put barcodes on all their ships?

So when they arrive back they can scan da navy in

That's actually a pretty funny little video

This is a fantastic post.

I want to add, that there's a prevalent theory that the Tooth Fairy is the name of the organization and it's mostly low level lackys doing the actual work. I'm guessing TF has a complete monopoly on the industry, but they're clearly not paying their underlings that well if what they leave for teeth is so specific and varyingly low.

The market is ripe for disruption.

That's a really neat idea, surely as extreme weather events occur more frequently this will get more valuable too
