No touchy touchy!

There’s a song about this, at the end of Life of Brian.

I’m more of an embracist. I live in a house on top of a hill, top floor with beautiful view on the surrounding houses and nature. I use modern tech, if it helps to improve my live and its enjoyment. I invest in a cleaner, fairer world by being politically active and my vote. I occasionally do visit caves, for instance to learn more about neolithic man, indeed Learning new stuff about the surrounding world brings me great joy. Basically i love to interact with my fellow humans.

The British are crap at singing, except for dick van dyke in Mary poppins.

Practical: some have an arrow on their head, so the enemy knows where to shoot. Even better than Putin’s meatgrinder.

Not so fast. Yes.

I’m guessing this notion came about from the Baptist and evangelical folks, who indeed try to reduce the frequency of bodily functions, as they see those as sin. As a result, Lutherans and the like indeed only do number twos every couple of weeks. But the rest of Americans (the silent minority), who live on a diet of fiber free fast food, sodas and watery beer, open the diarrhea valve at least twice a day. Only in America!

What are the “… activating built‑in anti‑theft features…” mentioned at the end of the article?

That’s the plan. In real life, only few ambulances manage “to fly through”, there are always some jerks ignoring this rule.

I like your new word creation: “se” could mean she, he, we… practical, I intend to use it. (Btw, your dad joke is sosolala.)

Although it is definitely possible to kill off all of humanity, doing so by may13, 2037 is a stretch goal, even for AI.

Define “winning”

What happened to Drill baby drill?!

You can’t fix stupid.

The collapse of the Ohioan education system. News at eleven.

Probably some reincarnated dignitary from the past trying to make amends. Stalin. Walter Conkrite. Caruso. Lolobridgitta.

How can anyone win a prize for a photo of an uninhabitable, left-over pile of rubble? How about a photo of a bustling market place, children playing, buyers price-negotiating with shopkeepers, in some far away, exotic place, for instance Gaza? Whatyarsaying? Oops.

On a different note; the resemblance between Jeff Bezos and Rodney Dangerfield is striking! Are they father and son?! Both with these hellsapoppin’ high bloodpressure eyes and their hair combed back.

Absolutely no deal breaker. I am just interested to learn about the person in front of me (hopefully the candidate does the same about my company or me, after all, the candidate shouldn’t start working for a manager that they later find out they don’t like). If you’re not on social media, I won’t judge that, in fact if you do it for conscientious or fact-based reasons I even appreciate it. But if you are on social media and you have a beautiful CV on LinkedIn it can be a little plus, getting into weird political discussions on insta is definitely a minus; I need fact-focused employees that can see both sides of the medal, willing to (unemotionally) find middle ground. The CV and application letter are still the key thing. In the application letter, you need to address the needs that I have put into the job posting, the more fact-based and interesting the better. Adjust the cv so that it fits the actual job description, don’t use some outdated listing that you’ve been using the last two years, try to show that you take me seriously.

This isn’t a book, and it didn’t keep me up all night, but hot damn it sure made me think: https://open.library.ubc.ca/soa/cIRcle/collections/facultyresearchandpublications/52383/items/1.0437324
