If anyone wants to know; it does have to do with handling stresses of flying and orientation in space, but it really has to do with dedication to the job and the skills of rigorously learning procedures and systems and applying the correct responses to situations.

Wash them if you can. I find most poly filled pillows get lumpy if washed. But, you can toss your pillows in the dryer on high heat for about 20 minutes. That helps kill some smells, bacteria, etc.

Omg what difficult to mine and impossible to recycle material is this breakthrough gonna take?

Seconded. It’s like waiting for the old-fashioned newspaper to show up so you can see the next one vs binging on a netflix series.

Game of telephone with that one, worse with every telling. No deer turned anyplace into a desert. Just the reintroduction of wolves improved the overall health of an ecosystem. I believe it was Yellowstone.

Aren‘t we already dealing with that? Despite boomers‘ hoarding of wealth, plenty of them didn‘t have jobs offering retirements or save enough on their own to have a retirement, that‘s why there‘s messed up push on the theofasicsts part to want people to have more kids so we can fund the social security and medicare retirements of all these people.

“Precious”

For people that don’t live with them or have to deal with their problems.

They wreck all your plantings. Whatever ornamental garden you might have apparently tastes better than any natural plants, they will destroy them. You want a garden to grow your own food? Need a 8 foot fence around it, and that probably still isn’t enough. They jump in and wreck everything. They shit parasites and drop ticks everywhere. Dogs are idiots and eat deer shit, picking up parasites. Trees or saplings are just perfect to rub heads or horns on, they destroy the bark and kill the plant…again apparently because your plants are better to wreck than anything out in the woods.

Yeah, I think deer are pretty cute, but fuck them too. Goddamn pests.

…and:

• Enshittify things

• Cut benefits

• Raise benefit costs

• Unbundle things to charge you more

• Add “convenient” fees

• Subscriptions for everything, even your car’s built in features

• Make you work longer, off the clock, at home, on weekends, with fewer staff to do the job

• Pressure you into not taking time off

• Understaffing, perpetually

• Replace humans with AI

• Hope you die quick when you lose your job because you got a debilitating illness and no longer have the insurance you spent years or decades paying into

• Donate billions to politicians that will slash corporate and rich people taxes, and cut government services, so that everything from public education to your wait times at the DMV gets worse

• buy all the homes to make them unaffordable, forcing you to rent, then jacking up rent to keep you from getting ahead

Limited time and very limited access to content, only content that is age appropriate.

Use the device’s parental controls to limit apps, downloading, purchases, sites, hours available and total time allowed. Doesn’t matter if it’s a phone, tablet, or PC. LAN parental controls if available as a secondary layer of site blocking and overall internet blocking at internet curfew time.

Been doing this for years. It’s a must. Parents are responsible for limits on mobile devices and content. Having the software do the limits is far, far easier than physically demanding the phone from the kid, shutting it off, or looking over their shoulder to see what they’re using it for.

In no way did I mean that statement literally.

It was a sarcastic reference. This style of seat is quite common in terminals.

Airline lobby bench seating.

Works for the Republicans.

Idiots listening to CEOs telling them the great things AI can do, like buying AI stock will make you money and AI will be your chat bestie never telling you anything you don’t want to hear. But the leopards are waiting to eat their faces.

Subscriptions for AI access, AI inserted into everything, wrong answers, humans being laid off, water resources being consumed rapidly, higher energy prices… and people will be unhappy, forced to pay their AI access fee to ask AI why things suck. And AI will lie.

A child is doing this. A child surrounded by people who all kick his commands down the ladder, each person down the rung knowing even less how to do their job right than the Orange Twitler at the top. So by the time it gets to the last person who sends it it’s just: use some leftover blue paint they found in some warehouse from the 1980s and pay some trump crony contractor a crapload of money to hire another contractor who will be lucky to be paid to do the shitty painting job.

X1C. The new version looks even better. Pretty happy with the XIC’s performance, though. Way better than my old Lulzbot.

Weather, my hobby groups some of which I admin, email, looking up various parts and how-to’s for a car I’m working on, messaging, and occasional housecleaning of the phone itself - getting rid of unnecessary photos, email, SMS and all that.

Every time I see this image of his mother I can’t help getting the vibe that she was exceptionally cruel and manipulative.
