There are different kinds of wasps. Where I live, out of the many many kinds, only two are annoying in that they are aggressive and try to get your food. All others are chill and will leave you alone if you leave them alone. We had a nest outside our house one year. Often times, our paths would cross. A wasp would collide with us, just sit there in the air for a second, then fly around us. No time to chat, gotta get food for the hive. Also: bees and bumblebees will just take the day off if the weather is shitty. Wasps? MUST GET MORE FOOD. Hailstorm? Tornado? Lightning strikes five yards away? No excuse.

"Will it blend?" - in today's episode, Larry Ellison, massive waste of skin and resources.

This is me. I got a bag of old weed from a friend who had stopped smoking years ago. I had never smoked a blunt in my life, and wasn't a regular smoker either. So I did what any reasonable person would do abd turned it into a science experiment.

It was the late nineties and info on such matters freely flowed on the net. After some research, I decided to first produce hash oil, then make cookies from that. The process involved a lot of acetone and was pretty scary, and I would not try that again. I got some fine looking resin, and made the cookies. Then I tried one, and waited. Now, remember the guy who gave the weed to me said it was ages old and probably lost its effect. So I did what any reasonable person would do, and ate all of the cookies. You know, to make sure Id get at least some experience out if it.

The experience then started and lasted some 16 hours or so. It was weird seeing these strange cartoons play out before my eyes with them being fully open, and it was scary seeing my lungs pump air a few feet outside of my body, but other then that , it was quite an adventure. One I never repeated.

Zuerst sollten lieber die Bonuszahlungen für die Leute eingespart werden, die sowieso schon jährlich mehrere Million ~~verdienen~~ bekommen. Sorry, aber wer braucht mehr als 200k€ Gehalt pro Jahr.

Behob das für Dich.

Die interessantere Frage ist ja vielleicht auch eher, ob sie überhaupt in eine Regierung will. Dann könnte sie sich ja nimmer hinstellen und allen anderen vorwerfen, dass sie nur Scheisse bauen, dann müsste sie sich ja selber verantworten und erklären - und das täte ihren Geschäften sicher schaden.

I would guess that is because a lot of these are just made up. For example, Germany does not have a "national flower".

It will transform mediocre content into crap, and then it will regurgitate that crap into worse and worse crap. All of that at the expensive of untold Terawatt-hours of energy. AI will not take over the world, but it sure will help destroy it anyway.

BEAT THAT PETAR MOLINEXU!

If you’re already working 40 hours a week, focusing on stuff out of hours is going to be hard. I know this all too well!

I was thinking more along the lines of 'nightshift'. 😀

There are a lot of jobs that require out of hours support, specifically those that aren’t tied to business hours. In tech at least, many of the sites and services you use are built off the backs of software engineers that are paged at 5am because latency is a little higher than normal.

There is a very easy solution to this dilemma: pay someone to stand ready at off-hours.

Are there really people who don't know where the clitoris is, or is that just a meme?
