I so metal working as a hobby. You’ll hurt yourself, but it’s usually burns and using the the hammers as a thumb detector. Fingernails grow back though usually. It’s the angle grinders you gotta respect.
Tell her that scars are cool and go for it!
Just wear eye and ear protection, and get a good leather apron and welding gloves.
Or the fact that the billionaires are burning the most oil (which Norway sells them BTW) and baking the whole planet.
Yeah there was a lot of really nice design going on at the time. This looks like the discount cases from the early 90s clones.
Thanks to this thread TIL it was one of the few serious competitors to ATTs monopoly.
Southern Pacific Communications and introduction of Sprint
Sprint also traces its roots back to the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPR), which was founded in the 1860s as a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Company (SPC). The company operated thousands of miles of track as well as telegraph wire that ran along those tracks. In the early 1970s, the company began looking for ways to use its existing communications lines for long-distance calling. This division of the business was named the Southern Pacific Communications Company. By the mid 1970s, SPC was beginning to take business away from AT&T, which held a monopoly at the time. A number of lawsuits between SPC and AT&T took place throughout the 1970s; the majority were decided in favor of increased competition.Prior attempts at offering long-distance voice services had not been approved by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), although a fax service (called SpeedFAX) was permitted..
In the mid-1970s, SPC held a contest to select a new name for the company. The winning entry was “SPRINT”, an acronym for “Southern Pacific Railroad Internal Networking Telephony”.
Lock picking it open is probably the best choice, or just dragging it away with a stolen Kia.
Hey hey hey, half cowards.
In my experience people who really use excel are always going to need excel.
Also in my experience excel runs great on Mac Laptops, which are so much better than any other laptop I’ve touched in the last 20 years. If you’ve tried their touchpads you’ll know what I mean. Total game changers for truly mobile computing working without a desk.
I wonder if it’s related to training on website comments, which often role the same trajectory.
I also wonder if this isn’t something that someone has “told” an LLM, and that now it’s just parroting it back. It all fits with my opinion of the AI craze.
I have the Chemex and a Mac.
The price of real (good) filters fits with the Macs unfortunately.
Yeah yours is a more thorough and less flippant description of what I meant.
We used to make fun of all the corporate word salad that the Managment would use at my last “real” job. But it really was weird salad all the way down [up].
Being convincing and confident without actually knowing is how 9/10s of them make it to the C suite.
That’s probably why they don’t worry about confidently incorrect AI.
The “shitter’s full” third I hope.
I still haven’t forgiven him for the ear biting.
Yeah I suspect all his training has been just so he doesn’t die or go full vegetable after the knockout.
Yes: Pinto beans are called chili beans for a goddamn reason. But also kidney beans in the mix (and black beans at least) are delicious too.
It really seems like they could quote sources.
But if they did that it’d be way easier to detect the plagiarism and they’d be liable for tons of copyright infringement.
I have no proof of this, just a hunch/consiracy.
I stayed with NT/2000 and my gf had ME on a junker Compaq display model her rents picked up at Circuit City maybe.
I think I switched it back up 98SE so she could write papers without it crashing or lagging all the time. She’d play the Money Python Holy Grail game, but it always would crash at one specific point. I gotta ask her what it was and see if I can find a copy to run in a VM.
