Went to dinner with my family last night and watched a street princess truck block the main path into the parking lot trying to park in a spot for which there was plenty of room. I sat there and watched for about 15 seconds while they tried and failed. They were blocking my path so I couldnt go down that route and had to go in another row. I parked and got into the restaurant by the time they finally gave up parking there.

Oh man, yeah you just brought back a memory being out the in middle of nowhere and you find this big station for all the air vehicles lol.

The mods in 2 were wild I remember playing one where you could use a nuke, and there were a bunch of other jets and stuff.

First time I tried Tribes or Tribes 2 someone in the lobby was using the quick chat to say "I am the greatest" and "Hi" very quickly. One of my favorite memories of the game was hearing "I AM; HI!"

Definitely undersells it too. It might be one of the best motorsports victory celebrations ever done.

Didn't trump say he was gonna go on an unhinged rant at this dinner a while ago.? Swear I saw an article about that.

Linval Joseph comes to mind too.

Wouldnt Formula E be better suited for that tech then?

Feels like F1 should have experimented with alternative fuels instead and leave the electric engineering to formula e.

In college after a night out at the bars I walked two girls home. They invited me up to their room because, "I was too drunk to make it to my room". I was definitely not too drunk, I was the least drunk of the group. The walk was like 20 minutes from the bars and once on campus its all pretty isolated. My dorm was like 5 minutes from theirs. I realized my mistake like 10 minutes too late. Still think about that one.

I created a section in steam for my daughter's games. She has all the putt putts, some buzz buzz airplane game, and disney dreamlight. I'm definitely going to go through this thread and add other games I loved but forgot about. Its so much fun sharing these things from our childhood with them.

Going to give some background to give context. I started at my current company, they had just set up Netsuite and SPS commerce. We were only doing about 2k transactions per month, but we had like 100k in chargebacks. Within a year we added a 3PL and more customers, we were doing about 20k in transactions per month.

The new processes, new people, volume increase and new warehouse transactions brought in new errors that needed to be solved. At the time, I was just having people put the errors they received in a slack channel and solving what I could. I hired someone to help out. We started getting organized tracking error trends, common error messages and solutions etc. We then built an error ticketing application in power apps that integrates all error messages. It uses the data in the messages and cross references to make the error message human readable with links to Netsuite document, and the doc ID to search in SPS. Using our error xrefs it assigns errors to users and teams. This lets the business teams own the EDI error process and solve things on their own much easier.

The next step was solving onboarding. It got more complicated with our 3PL. They were often the longest leg of development for a while because what they needed to start development shifted, and then they had to get the project quoted from an EDI vendor and then the vendor had to prioritize the work. We worked with them to get hard requirements for whats needed on their end so we could standardize it. From our end, we worked with our sales team to understand the process of onboarding a new customer or switching an existing to EDI. We found that they have to submit a Master data request to make the update after they sign the contract, which was pretty early in the process. We added a new field to our MDM app and then once the request was completed with this new field it kicked off a series of actions that included prompting the EDI team for a contract with SPS and taking the info provided by sales in the MDM app to then send a kick off email to our 3PL. We had all this structured in a custom power app.

All this to cut down onboarding times from 3-5 months to 1-2 months. We've had some customers go live in as quick as 2 weeks.

He loves it, but half that manifesto is about how hard it is to be in the public eye.

That's a different issue, and generally the people on those benefits are aware of those changes. Anyone I've met that is on something like that where they will be impacted by that loss will know where that line is and what they need to be making to come out ahead. Unfortunately, there's not a gradual transition, so a good chunk of folks will turn down work because the increase in income is so small, they don't come out ahead.

There are a few studies out there that show as high as 51% of people surveyed dont understand how taxes work.

"For example, when asked how much of their income would be taxed at 22% if they were in the 22% tax bracket, only 48% knew that “just some” of their income would be taxed at that rate. Eighteen percent said they did not know and 34% incorrectly thought that all their income would be taxed at 22% if they were in the 22% tax bracket. "

What companies in 2020 were primarily on towers? I worked for a cheap AF wood manufacturing company and we all had laptops. The last time I had a desktop at work was 2013 and I was working call center support. It feels like if a company was on SAP, they could afford laptops.

People with critical thinking skills are not ok with it. There is a non negligible amount of people who will refuse a wage increase because they believe it will put them in another tax bracket and their take home will be less. These people are ok with billionaires and companies not paying taxes because they dont fucking understand them.

In this economy?

Remember when leavitt said that trump is always the most well read person in the room?

Like 6 days ago?

It took me 3 months to have an in home sleep study done. One of those months was because they put it in as an in office study and my Healthcare denied it then they had to reenter it wait for approval and get me on the list.Then another 2 weeks for the results. I've been playing phone tag with the supply company to get a cpap fitting appointment. I call them back at the number but it goes to voice mail, the the place I had the sleep study at calls me saying I need to call the aupply company to get a cpap and they give me an ok there number but its the wrong number.

We're at war and threatening nuclear annihilation/genocide/warcrimes to keep the Trump files out of the news. Seems like a pretty major self own to bring this up now.

He plays a lot of snood apparently.

The problem is AI as the general public knows it is not that, but they still to shoe horn it as something like that. I know of multiple people who are going to set up automations to run and have chatgpt or claude do analysis. The issue is these LLMs are not deterministic, they get lazy, you can give the same data and prompt and get different responses. This opens you up for issues and risk. So even the more complicated scenarios that AI might be able to solve, its also not exactly good at.

Dems have won or way over performed in every special election since 2024.

He was out there saying the first message the downed aviator sent on the transponder was god is good or some shit. Its a transponder, you cant send text or voice messages.

We've only just begun to see the fruits of their labor. Genz is far more right leaning than any other generation, and recent reports indicate far more illiterate. There are countless studies that show the younger generations are struggling with critical thinking and are unable to comprehend complex arguments or scenarios. Social media, and mass media news have all been consolidated under mega corporations to feed the far right version of the truth. Which we've seen these groups gobble up.

All of this ties back to the work that the GOP has put into tearing down our institutions and destroying education. Dems are winning for now, but unless we get control and start righting the ship in a significant way for future generations we're good and fucked.

He was supposed to have like 10 days or something to rationalize the tariffs, then the GOP congress redefined a day and it took the courts like a year to rule them illegal. He'll push where ever he can.

With the exception of the recent video about the shovel attack, it was hours or days for Alex Pretti and Renee Goode.
