Glad to help.

You do you, homie. Your life and choices are yours. And if your choices kill you, that's a you problem.

Funny, seems like everyone near you has been physically wrecked or killed by the vaccine. Cool story bro - Not one of my extended family had an issue with it, although I did have a fever for about 8 hours that three acetominiphen tabs took care of. And had zero complications in the 5 years since.

Racist comment noted.

Your AI bot has no capacity to know that the "test environment" and the "live internet" are different things.

It shouldn't be hard to include something like that in the training data.

Ignoring whether these agents can have "concepts" or "knowledge," either way it can certainly have the ability to treat a test environment differently than the live internet.

I got my popcorn ready for all the tin-foil hat wearing anti-vaxxer horse medicine people who will start laying on conspiracy theories about how mRNA is vaccines is new (its not) and that it's a government mind control program, without knowing anything about how mRNA vaccines actually work.

I went from concern that they might get sick and die, to acceptance that it was their choice, to understanding that they were self-culling the herd of stupid paranoid people, and figured they were just being helpful. Always look on the bright side of life.

P.S. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Martha Lillard passed June 2026 as the last known person living in an iron lung after Paul Alexander spent 70 years in one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Yeah - good times.

Even stupid people believed in vaccines at one time.

after a clinical trial found it was about 27% more effective than a standard flu shot.

That's within the normal variance of the traditional flu shot, which ranges in effectiveness from 22% to 56%.

The reason to believe the new one is better is because it 2-3 months to go from strain selection to fully manufactured vaccine, whereas the traditional vaccine method takes about 6 months. It makes it easier to choose the right flu strain.

Mad? No need to assume quite that hard.

I've logged over 800,000 miles under my commuting ass. I'm not mad. I'm feeling rather fortunate I've been able to survive 30 years of mandated ass-numbing drive-torture. Unlike thousands of other VPN-capable employees who are killed every year commuting pointlessly to a job.

Are you mad about the Go Green hypocrisy "justifying" millions of tailpipes pointlessly polluting a planet and killing employees to justify real estate greed? Because you probably should be.

I wonder how the "I only work at home deals with say, the job I retired from. Oh - I traveled - by plane, across time zones, to places we had work, millions of miles not counting the commute. I traveled many hundreds of thousands of miles of driving.

Don't feel sorry for me though, the pay was very good, I could retire at 55 on 6 figures. But if you don't want to travel, then don't travel. You do you. The people I worked with that although they didn't WFH, in many cases refused to travel (they were a group that the institute tried to increase)

Was it worth it? Hell yeah. I enjoy traveling. I enjoy expense account living and per diem. But others have a different outlook. My father for instance, would be happy to never go further than the perimeter of our yard. OTOH, many people find commuting an excruciating experience and would be happiest id they lived their life at home.

If you don't want to do it - do not do it! I'm not claiming that you should. There are many different outlooks. You do you, I do me. I fully support your refusing to work at an office, only from your home. There are many paths, and the one I chose is just different, and one that causes a good deal of angst for some who have possibly as monolithic view of the workplace.
