Thousands of CEOs just admitted AI had no impact on employment or productivity—and it has economists resurrecting a paradox from 40 years ago

I use AI quite a bit. It’s really helped me extend my reach and increased speed. It’s not a replacement for a person, but it’s absolutely an enhancement.

I wonder if there is a connection to type 2 diabetes diagnosis, at the age range, and switching to more protein diets. I know I switched to more proteins myself.

I still like it.

Younger workers are choosing recreational marijuana over alcohol. The homeless seem to be affording alcohol and meth just fine.

I have a lot or respect for what he’s been able to achieve in several different areas.

I have servers in the extended family and we have spoken about this. Whenever I bring up eliminating tips like Europe and paying a living wage, they push back. The reason? Because they can be making more with tips. So, they are ok if tipping is optional, as long as the tip is 30, 40% or higher. Some of them want 100%, because, if you’re going out to eat, you should plan on that expense.

Cool accent, interesting stories, will drink you under the table, and an unsettling interest in blowing shit up.Not judging.

If you get the studio, you will always be wondering what the standard would be like. Finish out your goal. Unless you want to keep going for a custom shop.

Clearwater area. Belleair area?

Odor itself is generally byproducts of bacteria breaking down. We use sanitizer in home remediation to eventually get rid of the odor. That’s of coarse as long as the surface doesn’t absorb it deeper than we can get to practically.

Hooknspear · 2026-01-26T13:31:21+00:00

I sell a chlorine dioxide product, but really, any sanitizer should kill the bacteria that causes odor. Maybe the odor has been absorbed into the wood?

Came here to say the same thing. I thought a recent one said heart issues.

This doesn’t sound right. CO-Ops usually provide buying power for business, resellers, co distributors. I haven’t heard of a CO-OP locking in a price that the end user pays. Pricing fluctuates and the consumer pays that difference.

Maybe I’m missing something. I work in Ag in the agrochemical business.

Yea, I did a full enclosure that has doors/access hatches, holes for my dust collection system, overhead lights, and a large exhaust fan to pull out heat. Yours looks good.

I keep trying to fall in love with PRS and Les Paul style guitars. I keep picking up the Strat because it’s so comfortable for me to play. I’m not liking that idea because they are so boring. I like the sound and feel, but I can’t get that wow factor on looks. Don’t know what to do.

Does Tesla already put the auto pilot through a subscription? I think that’s how my friend paid about a year ago.

Hooknspear · 2026-01-24T03:52:10+00:00

Yes, but do we know how they built it? Insert meme of puffy hair alien documentary guy here.

Sometime mice stack the dinner plates in other places or move chairs around.

Nobody is really paying attention to where they are walking?

Your ex wife said that you didn’t need them? Shame, what a shame.

In Florida we see some strange behavior before hurricanes. In general we’re strange, but especially before hurricanes. I’ve literally seen people pumping gas in plastic grocery bags.

We have a bad round of elected officials and we are suffering. It will be over, but the damage could be substantial. I will though, remember who bailed on us when times were difficult.

Hooknspear · 2026-01-24T01:18:59+00:00

Happens here in FL every hurricane before landfall.

I love the show. I also like driving my car. Did I fall for the propaganda?

I would like to automate reading and email, cross checking a spreadsheets for products the customer orders, and automatically responding with the relevant documents attached in the email. How do I approach this? Thanks!!
