  • One of those is reeeeally making the other look bad. I grew up in the time before Germany really started leading the free world, when holo tropes had them in a really negative light. It’s like mistakes made by Germans 2 generations ago hurt their image still.

    I worry magats have created a shitty image that all yanks will get to wear for 40+ years. And people I know in America who are really great people who don’t deserve that.


  • Dear fElon,

    After the daily struggle to keep this government running despite efforts to the contrary and repeated unmitigated budgetary damage, I currently lack the crayons and the spare time to properly school you on a description of my job; even at a level so high you could use it as a space elevator.

    Please let me know if that’s your goal, as we could realize a cost-savings for NASA. Otherwise, I can recommend some intro courses on forecasting and management that could get you a little more up to speed, and we can arrange a time to meet and talk afterwards.

    Have a super day.

    -Me



  • Everyone gets to be one of the 10,000 when they need to be.

    Sounds like we should ensure people are not trusting Ai for their answers, and also maybe be sure they’re asking questions properly. There’s nothing that brings in better answers than a question asked properly.

    Oh, this is gonna be exciting. THINK of how their reading comprehension is going to soar. We have to be great sources of info and we have to write properly, but we’ve got this. We can represent a great community. Right?


  • skookum. It’s borrowed from, like, old Aboriginal trade language. It means “deal’s done” - with its own hand-brushing gesture - but it also means “strong” or “resilient”, I think.

    And now it’s almost a common ‘Canadianism’ – if your Newfie buddy says " 'At’s a skookum blow we gots, b’iys", you know there’s a sad BC Ferry-tale on the way, and you’re not getting Over tonight.
