My partner wants to know: How many stitches?

I remember when this started years ago (in the before AI times): Jolly Roger Telephone.

Seems now they are using AI too.

Wood colored concrete 🤔!

Shakes fist at TSA.

I sure hope they don’t go that way!

I’ve been trying to remember all the little folks since I’ve become so fabulously wealthy, but it just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. /s

I’ll let them know that (in case it ever becomes relevant).

They are a wonderful partner and I would never leave them for something so minor. It’s just a thing I can’t quite wrap my head around - I’m sure I have things about myself that they don’t get either. It’s not a big deal to either of us.

Tried that many times (to no avail).

We are both university grads and know how math works. They just can’t get past the psychological barrier of “the bill will be higher when we check out”.

Can’t get my partner to do this. They are too worried about “saving money/we don’t need it (now)”. For heavens sake, I’m not saying buy a spare house; just pick up an extra tube of toothpaste!

What this NCO did was not dumb; it was calculated and intentional violations of multiple rules and regulations they (and the others involved) knew very well. Then they tried to cover it up when people started asking questions.

Absolutely no sympathy for them in my book. These are supposed to be the leaders other enlisted look to emulate.

Of course they won’t be; somebody has to debug all the crap AI writes.

Try this: DSL Linux

I once abused an SMTP relay (my own) by emailing Novell a 400+ MB memory dump. Their FTP site kept timing out.

After all that, and them swearing they had to have it, the OS team said “Nope, we’re not going to look at it”. Guess how I feel about Novell after that?

This was in the mid-90’s.

I’ve had those things before. But there is maintenance and power to factor in; so not entirely free.

Pretty sure FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) is for deposits only, not debts. The politicians would never let their donors suffer.

From several years ago Experian was.

AT&T helped share my info more recently also; so many breaches anymore.

They already have mine (multiple times); thanks US government/Experian/etc.

Hugh government bail out (American here). Taxpayer gets stuck with the bill. Companies loose nothing (probably make even more than way).

Rejects from the plane assembly line. Now that’s scary!
