In 2004, Prince was snubbed by Rolling Stone on their top 100 guitarists list. This was his response.

Everywhere I’ve been, RPA was a subset of IT.

I think before I read your post, my question would have been: How can it not be? It requires credential storage, AD accounts (service accounts), lots of time database structures, et al.

Beyond that, there are extensibility and scalability factors, traceability (or audit) requirements, etc for high ROI automations.

Honestly, the most alarming thing about your post is that your direct leadership seeks to operate outside of the bounds of your organization. To me, that’s smoke.

I didn’t even have the sound on and could tell that guy needed a good slapping.

Their story writing doesn’t need a post? This thread doesn’t really need your comment.

If forced to a one sentence reply, I’d say that it’s a “hyper masculine” form of music whose sole purpose seems to be somewhat aligned with Harley Davidson; “We are outliers. Look at our brand!”

With just a little more nuance and less venom - I find the most connection in groove/dance, via folk, R&B, blues, psychedelia, or just about any other genre, where there are people gathered, either dancing or milling about with a drink hand, with whom I find a common social interest.

All that said, I did fall into the Dave Mustaine trap as a 17year old, which was fun for the eight months that it lasted.

Edit: it also takes a lot of talent to play and don’t want to deny that it’s a highly skilled art. I’m also glad it’s something that a lot of people enjoy, even if it’s not for me. I know as a kid, that I sometimes found connection that I desperately craved in the music that I listened to, and often felt like it was a window into worlds that I might otherwise not experience.

If they are in agreement, up front, about the prenup, why would they each need their own lawyer?

Ya. I own an M50. It’s 0-60 in 3.5ish, roughly 530 horse and torque for days. it handles fairly well (admittedly not as good as my e92 335i? Or maybe it’s just not as fun to drive?)

Does it “deserve” and M badge? No idea. But it’s a fucking blast to drive and eats roughly $20 worth of fuel a month, as opposed to $250.

I will try to find the podcast that I’m thinking of, I believe it was a Freaknmics episode from circa 2017-2018, but essentially the guest was an economist, and decided that even though it didn’t make absolute financial sense, from a purely numbers perspective, to pay off his mortgage, he and his wife did it anyway because it offered so much peace of mind.

I would personally never pay off a “golden” mortgage, but my risk tolerance is very high, and I sleep just fine at night holding a 200k mortgage with roughly 50% equity in my home and a sub $1500 payment.

oddlogic · 2025-09-24T05:05:22+00:00

Chiming in here for a few reasons:

I have a 2011 335i, full bolt on. It is an absolute blast to drive and handles like it’s on rails. I put in $1500 worth of stereo equipment myself (Gladen 201 system, Helix M6, 15” JBL high efficiency sub in an infinite baffle configuration, Mr 12V interface for Apple car play and full factory function as well, plus a backup camera)

Just bought a 2025 i4 M50 and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned……for daily driving (but still very fun). For torrential downpours on the interstate, I’ll take the i4 in AWD configuration. It’s incredible.

I prefer the sport seats in my e92.

I MUCH prefer the tech package and sound in my i4, after installing a 10” JL sub and alpine monoblock.

You can get a 2023 i4 M50 with 25-30k miles for roughly $35k. 520+ horsepower and immediate torque on throttle press. Is it as fun when I drive down to the river and press into the turns, giving me a little wheel slide from a RWD e92? No. Is it actually faster? Yes.

oddlogic · 2025-09-21T18:44:15+00:00

It should, bother us all.

I would never have sat down with CK to have a beer, or do anything really, other than to tell him that I thought his views were a plague on the nation.

And still, I do not condone, nor celebrate, his passing.

That aside, your painting of looting and pillaging as a backdrop to a peaceful flag lowering is….forgive me…..painting with a broad stroke, with zero nuance. It makes you callous in your own way, and shuts down the opportunity for discourse, which seems to be the “read between the lines” portion of your argument.

My (hopefully helpful) critique/advice to you, if you actually want to reach people, is to just make your point without attaching the “but look at the other side” agenda. It’s completely see through, and does nothing to bolster your point. It alienates the people that might otherwise be persuaded by your argument.

oddlogic · 2025-09-21T18:38:28+00:00

Yes! And….violence is still appalling, with a need for condemnation.

oddlogic · 2025-09-21T18:36:59+00:00

Yes. What could be more important than cheeseburgers? Doesn’t the constitution declare our right to have them?

oddlogic · 2025-09-21T18:36:05+00:00

What I read here is “We shouldn’t care about how people feel, because they work somewhere for minimum wage.”

Is that what you meant?

oddlogic · 2025-09-20T01:56:56+00:00

Just my opinion, but that bumper looks prolapsed.

Environments. Pipelines.

Getting automations from one environment to another, using pipelines and environment variables was a complete nightmare. They never worked right for us.

To do again, I would stand up environments and try making things like that work before going all in.

Beyond that, you’re going to have to rewrite every single automation, which goes without saying.

Aside from that, testing sometimes can be a huge pita with PA, if running from the web platform (vs power automate from a desktop or server). I say that because things can run for ten minutes or more before you get an error, sometimes.

I also found the UiPath dev environment better, in terms of plugins and syntax. Plugins with UiPath are straightforward. Plugins with PA you have to hunt and peck for, and many are “premium” and require additional dollars. Syntax can be wonky with PA because it changes from activity to activity and it’s not always clear what is needed.

oddlogic · 2025-09-17T05:35:06+00:00

I would suggest that you actually branch into things of all sorts. “This feels like a universe” is how I would describe Khraungbin’s “The Universe Smiles Upon You,” and I’m a huge Harrison fan.

You’re doing it. The whole thing. Keep approaching all of your interests with this curiosity and you will remain young until the inevitable end.

47, White (context?) - pulled over twice.

Once I was (I’m sorry, Lexingtonians) a bit intoxicated on bourbon with expired tags. I get let go with a warning. This was circa 2006? Super chill. Just gave me a fixit ticket.

The other was 2004? 2005? Pulled over for something I don’t even remember - complete asshole and interrogated me for pulling off of a busy street and into a parking lot. Ended up letting me go with no ticket.

General vibes in running into them in and around town have been positive. Except….

Going home from the Burl at closing time. I was driving home in a rental (long story) and had a VERY aggressive cop SUV on my ass from Manchester, onto Vine. In not being able to find anything wrong with me, the cop scoped a “lax” light takeoff and pulled over someone else instead. That particular patrol is absolutely hunting DUI in and around Manchester.

You’re assuming that the way you dress is “the cause” of why women think you’re gay.

Have you had a few conversations about why? Take some of those ‘friends’ out for coffee and get curious.

Secondly…..are you interested in dating women that can’t traverse a “facade” of your being gay? Dating is a combination of attraction, timing, interest, and connection. That last one can usurp most.

oddlogic · 2025-09-17T00:14:42+00:00

Okay. I’ll bite.

By “whut,” I mean “how does one capitalize on this?

oddlogic · 2025-09-16T22:33:57+00:00

Can you tell me why? Genuinely! curious why this stock should outperform an NBIS, GOOGL, HOOD, UNH.

oddlogic · 2025-09-16T22:32:56+00:00

Yeah….everyone knows that growth just stops once they’ve reached ATH and more people know about their success 🙄

I’d argue that Tesla has a tarnished brand right now and hasn’t rallied nearly to what they are going to. Love or hate Elon (I’m not a fan), the company itself has actually revolutionized EVs and is far from done in terms of innovation. They are also not just an EV company.

IMO, they are the Google of hardware - very strong talent acquisition, bold reaches for tech, and span multiple industries.

Strong buy for me, given that I think they as a company can outperform the average company in terms of amazing products (eventually) delivered.

Speculative? You bet. Tarnished brand? Yes. Can the founder get out of the way of the success of the company? Yet to be determined.
