OK.

Git gud.

I back one car into the garage, around another that is sitting in that driveway "lane". Because the doors are wide, there's a workbench against the wall and keeping the driver's door in the center is the only way to get in/out. And I only have 6" clearance from either side mirror.

I'm one of the few people in my neighborhood that makes use of my garage for ... automobiles.

Yeah, look at how Disney's and Hulu's prices came down after that merger!

Oh, wait...

And just how will the politicians get us to engage with these partisan chatbots ? Sounds like a lot of phone spam is on the way.

Nope. I wouldn't touch them with a 3 meter pole. Idiots, I can usually find simple work for. People who come in with no moral compass cost me more time and effort keeping an eye on than they are worth.

And why would I expect to be treated any differently than their last employer? I'm not speshul.

There is nothing new about that at all.

I work for a company that would much rather sell product to end customers at full price than to keep a portion of our limited production output to ourselves for no revenue at all. It probably shouldn't surprise many people that we would rather keep customers happy by delivering on the promised schedule while taking in a lot of money from them for the privilege, and finding other ways to satisfy the internal need, such as sharing with other teams that might already have what is needed.

TBF I'm referring to our product that we only make about 3,000 of a year; and each one has been spoken for for a few years already and costs about a quarter-million per copy, so all things may not be equal.

Chicken Little effect.

In the standard operation of Windows, you are presented with so many stupid permissions dialogs for shit that isn't a problem, that you reflexively approve on things that could be problems.

When everything tells you the sky is falling, you don't pay attention when the sky actually falls.

Here's the REAL reason Russia is banning Roblox.

I don't, but I'm also not running Chrome. Firefox (and siblings) still allows the full uBlock Origin experience that makes all this crap go away by default.
