You’ve been well trained in puns

The only soccer shirt I would consider

Propose to them first, but so poorly they can’t help but reject you.

Though that plan has a few glaring issues too.

The plan to deal with the tech debt:

New rule: only 1 “in progress” item and 1 “in repair” item is allowed on the hobby pile.

Turns out I actually have a LOT of things to do, and now I actually do it too.

1 rose works well in a small vase.

2 roses means the go left and right, which looks weird.

4 roses are the same, either it’s unbalanced or split.

3 and 5 mean you have an even number, plus a middle.

Tarifs for everyone!

Or at least, until Trump chickens out again. Just like every single time before.

MUCH older. Shakespeare made a ton of contemporary references, and was referenced in turn by others during his days. Those were memes.

Medieval writers included strong biblical references, and we have some “entertainment” that is purportedly extremely funny and popular, that’s basically the medieval equivalent of Loss.

Brainrot videos are the first one I truly, truly don’t get.

I just discovered there are now over 9000 SCPs. Last time I checked, there were three hundred something.

That’s great, because his back could use a little support after this.

Larping works great for me.

The marching orders are “stop talking about it”.

Literally. When asked why there’s a minute missing from the Epstein tape they released recently, Trumps answer was “why are you still talking about Epstein”.

Faxes are secure after sending. The only way for a third party to get a fax is to physically tap the line at the time of transmission, or to break into the building and steal the paper.

Email sits online, where everyone can get at it unless you prevent it. Faxes sit in a drawer, behind the locks you already have.

I spend a fair bit of time on construction sites, and cameras have one huge issue compared to mirrors: They’re one-way.

With a mirror, I can see the driver in the mirror. I can make eyecontact and confirm that they’ve seen me. With a camera, I have no idea if they’ve seen me. Maybe they can see more, but if they happen not to be looking, I have no way to tell.

And our stupid road regulations don’t allow for both.

Not at all. It’s assuming they don’t suddenly drop in cost 99%

My favorite new conspiracy theory is that everyone promoting the “don’t vote if you don’t fully support them” people are all plants and fakers (with some genuine morons strewn in)

LLM everything. Nobody who is selling AI services is making any money on it. OpenAI is burning tens of billions a year without even a concept of a sellable product, Microsoft is losing billions on OpenAI, and Amazon made 5B revenue on a 120B investment (and negative profit). Nobody who is using these LLMs is paying the full cost, and hardly anyone actually uses them for anything real. Productivity hasn’t gone up for the vast majority of companies using it, and only ignorant management is pushing it hard.

I’ll give it three years until it all falls apart, and that’s very generous.

Stroopwaffel van Klompmill.

I love this, because a “Hans worst” in dutch is someone incompetent and useless.
