Meanwhile I strongly suspect our legal reviewer of using chatgpt to review contracts, because he sends some laughably stupid comments that look fully AI generated.

To abscond should be in more peoples vocabulary.

By the time I started driving, we already had gps, but I do remember my dad pulling those folder or foldable maps when driving somewhere for the first time. His advice on how to read these things was “Look for the river crossings. It usually doesn’t matter much which road you take, you will always end up at the same crossings.”

And this is why, when planning a road trip in the pre-waze days, I would always check the river crossings first and when is a low traffic time to cross them, because you don’t want to be stuck for 2 hours because an ungodly amount of drivers need to be squeezed through a narrow tunnel.

But nowadays it’s hardly relevant anymore, only to make sure you don’t take too long of a lunch/dinner break or get stuck in said situation.

Well, the size of the bill often changes my mind. 35€ for 2 burgers delivered with soggy fries? Guess I will make that fried rice after all.

It’ll be quantum computing. Since the last hype around it, a lot of progress has been made to the point that quantum computers are actually becoming useful, since error correction is now mostly resolved.

I initially thought he was great. Their cloud business was booming, it looked like they were converging their tools, windows 10 had its flaws but was pretty good. But now the tools are an enormous mess because they have changed their minds 5 times over, Windows 11 is complete dogshit and all the tools that are actually handy are paywalled behind expensive licences. Copilot is being forcefed to unwilling users and every single one of their tools is becoming worse.

So yea, I think he’s a business illiterate because there is no strategy behind this mess.

I just checked and of course the stock went up.

Seriously though, cabbages are always too big. We always buy the smallest we can find and maybe use 2/3 of it, and we eat a decent amount of cabbage.

To be honest, those baby on board stickers are pretty dumb. Nobody goes “This car doesn’t have a baby on board, awesome, now I can break check them like a maniac”.

I really expected “Readability” to be there.

This is where the name of Stockholm syndrome comes from. It’s not that you fall in love with your captors, but rather that you fear less for your safety with the captors than with the police getting involved.

I wouldn’t, I have broken up with girls over this. But that didn’t mean we couldn’t have some fun.

This whole thing hinges on a strong economy, some sort of super weapon and a weak Europe.

Their economy is shit, there isn’t and won’t be some super weapon and although Europe has a slow decision making process, the countries that matter are not as weak as Russia needs them to be.

The assumption Europe won’t cut Russian energy off was also wildly optimistic.

They’re still trying, but instead of a third empire they’re getting a century of backwardness and poverty. Well done Vladimir, you will go down as one of the worst rulers in history.

This assumes there are no differences in skill level for serial killers…
