I wear a GMT watch. I set the watch to UTC and the GMT hand to local time.

Then if I need to keep track of another office or where I am I just move the GMT hand to the local time I care about.

I love music. My whole life has been playing in bands, going to see concerts and as a child of the 80s standing in long lines to get tickets or disapointment.

The prices of tickets is out of hand. The scalping is out of hand. So I just quit. I see local shows by local musicians or at venues in small towns. I don't care how much I like someone's music I'm not paying hundreds of dollars for the cheap seats to see them.

I mean I wouldn't advise a student to go to college for a career with low pay and college debt. So we either need to reduce the education requirements for things like mental health workers, nurses, and teachers or we need to pay them more.

Exactly. I was shopping recently for a high value item. I found one vendor who had it for sale with a 3% credit card fee. Another vendor had it for sale $1500 less. I asked him if he charged a credit card fee. He said no, that was the out the door price. So I bought it from him.

So the 3% was already in the lower price, but the other vendor was trying to double dip on fees.

Worked great for tons of children in the 90s signing up for columbia house and getting free CDs. 10 CDs for a penny and then collection letters that are unenforceable ? Sign me up!

My generation is really good at technology because it was new and there was a hacker culture to support tinkering. Then technology got easy. Now kids are pretty tech stupid (yes they can use it, but the struggle to troubleshoot anything). This could bring a resurgence in hacker culture.

Most stores in my area actually now scan your ID at the register. No ID scan, the system will not allow them to ring up the booze. I'm 100% sure that is being datamined.

Are we not using TDD with AI?

I write tests, AI writes code to pass the tests. When I find a bug, I write a test. Repeat.

Think about the Irony.

Money is backed by violence. As in if you donâ(TM)t give the government its money, even from the value of your bartering, it will use violence on you. That alone gives it value.

That is crazy overkill. There are services that just provide one off phone numbers. For example cloaked.com.

I did this recently when buying a car. Each dealer got their own email address and phone for me. When I bought my car all those points of contact ceased to exist.

Piss, they are going to have every employee drink water at home and deliver frosty piss at work.

But Iâ(TM)ve been told for years you can build better, more powerful laptops cheaper, so that canâ(TM)t be true.

First rule of capitalism, if people are paying it then it was acceptable.
