ChipotleGPT

Going to start doing this to the QuickBooks online one that shows up automatically every time I log in.

Was just asking it for recipes, spamming it with random text, asking how to embezzle, or why the Intuit management was so incompetent and evil, until it told me I was out of tokens for the month and tried to get me to buy more.

Americans brace to start New Year without healthcare

I've been either self employed, or worked for a very small company for 25+ years, and never had reasonable access to insurance.

With the covid era subsidies, we finally had insurance for the first time for the last few years.

Between the policy doubling in price, and the loss of subsidies we would have been paying way almost $2000 a month, so now we don't have insurance again.

Had a tech drive an hour and half to a site where the onsite staff couldn't get a server to boot last week.

Somewhere between scheduling and actually driving down (half a day later), someone came to work that understood how the power button works, but didn't bother to let anyone know that it was already booted back up and working.

I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them.

I'm in a small city, with a lot of rural / suburban areas. I'm often delivering 15+ minutes away from the city center by car. A bicycle wouldn't be able to get to any of these places in any reasonable amount of time, and there's also no shoulders or bike lanes on most of these roads so it would be seriously dangerous.

We also do a lot of large grocery delivery orders (50 - 100+ items) so there's no way those can be done via bike or motorcycle.
