I found it very telling that HBO re-wrote the entire Butlerian jihad because the robots were evil, rather than the actual point where using machines to replace humans was wicked and evil

Have you ever actually worked in a factory? Things are way less automated than you would believe. I worked at a plastic injection molding company 5 years ago and we had exactly one press that would automatically apply stickers to the product once it came out, and it would break down constantly. Another factory i was hand sealing fiberglass sheets together for use in washing machines. Or when i worked at a tire factory, i was weighing out curing chemicals by hand into a scale, monitoring rubber coming out, and even handcutting rubber to recycle. The inly factories that have heavy automation are brand new, because management takes one look at the eyewatering price to repair automated equipment and find that it's cheaper to oay someone $20/ hour to do it by hand.

I recently started as a graphic designer despite knowing absolutely nothing about it, so i am constantly searching how to do stuff in Adobe suite at work. Half the time Google's AI can't even keep "Cmnd" and "ctrl" straight, telling me to use' "cmnd+shift+H" on Windows or "ctrl+shift+H" on Mac'. I don't even know how it botches that, but it does it about 25% of the time.

But what if the valve was actuated electronically with no manual access?

Yeah, this is pretty much intend to destroy St. Louis as a city and remove Missouri's last relevance on the national stage.

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." Letting tthe Republicans shoot themselves in the foot is very different than giving them everything they want on a silver platter.

Idk how you can blame the Democrats for a shutdown when Republicans control all three bodies that can avert it

Literally the only power the courts have ever had is the executive's decision to abide by it. "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." so even 200 years ago there was never anything actually stopping a president to expand his power. De Tocqueville pretty said the same when he did his deep dive into American politics.

We use to flip the light gray flap all shift in computer lab in middle school. When we got bored with that, we figured out how to pop out the Dell logo and flip it upside down

I started as a graphic designer back in November with absolutely zero experience. It's crazy being whown how to do stuff in Adobe suite by a 68 year old man

I applied to a very specific group of white men. That's it

It takes 24-72 hours to confirm if an animal has rabies. That's just not time that organ donations have.

 

Construction crews have been replacing the lead pipes to every home the past month, so they spent all day watching the crew work outside

 

I can't believe how much she has grown in the last 6 months! She's the sweetest little thing you can imagine, and such a little princess. She never bites or scratches people, even if she is getting fed up with me clipping her nails. If she isn't playing with Boudica then she is cuddled up on my lap or chest purring away. Both kitties purr as soon as someone starts to pet them, but Nini has such a squeaky purr that makes her sound like a squirrel. It's been a great 6 months (aside from her nibbling on everything in my pantry when i leave) and I'm excited for the next 6
