I work in IT for a Fortune 500 org.

We use LLMs to improve worker efficiency. There is a ton of taking info from here and there and entering it into our system. AI took the workload from humans doing data entry and freed the humans up to do less tedious things.

Tea tree oil.

Put some in your finger, rub on toenail and between toes.

You can find it at the health foods store.

Edit: do this 2x daily for at least a month.

Change your socks daily.

You’ve been lied to. Recycling plastic was never about saving the planet. It was too get consumers to be okay polluting with plastic. That isn’t changing. Recycling plastic is not the answer. It never was. The oil lobby spent millions to trick you into using plastic.

The article says that new recycling processes just create other pollution.

To solve this, we stop using petroleum based plastic.

This is a podcast transcript. I listened to it years ago. It’s what I’m basing my ideas on.

It was a fascinating listen.

I’m not familiar with in n out. Most chain burger places cost their fries in chemicals to make them crunchy longer. A natural cut fry becomes unappetizing like 10 minutes after it’s out if the fryer.

There are trade offs with each way.

One is “cleaner” or maybe purer One has a better customer experience

Is an algorithm not a formula?

Is it really any different than when the formula did it?

When Apple launched their credit card it was super biased against applicants with female names. They blamed it on the formula.

Ai is just the newest fancy word for programming.

Amazon was never able to honor the next day or even two day shipping

I used to travel a lot for work and needed deliveries on specific days. Amazon guaranteed delivery days were crap.

I know a guy who actually got an official response from Amazon about that. Their response was “We guarantee 2 day shipping once the items are shipped. We may not start shipping for a day or two depending on how busy we are.”

What really sucks is that the Republicans are all towing the Trump line because it’s an election year and Trump will make or break their campaign. Trump loves a good dictator and thinks he’s buddies with Putin.

The fact they’re still running on dos is a clue that either they can’t figure out how to upgrade or they don’t want to upgrade or they simply won’t allocate the budget to upgrade.

It generally boils down to money. Shops like that are toxic. They somehow don’t have the budget to keep their business afloat, means you’re not getting a raise.

If you take this job, you’re obsolete. Getting the next job will be tough. You’re interview at the next potential role what did you do at your current role? I ran dos on 30 year old machines. Interviewer: I’m sorry, but we need someone with experience in Windows ME.

This!

There are a lot of consumer protections on credit cards that do not apply to debit cards. I pay for basically everything with a credit card. I pay the card off every month.

It uses whatever phone number you gave it when you created the account. They do not guess what phone number you might have.

It’s been decades since I worked in a kitchen, but what I recall is watered down bleach.

Iirc 1T bleach per gallon of water.

Then there was commercial degreaser, but that was for degreasing specific things.

Older cars, the air conditioning was simply true false.

As in it was running or it was not running. You adjusting the temp warmer, just mixed more warm air into the chilled air.

I do not know if modern cars work that way.

If that’s the case lower temp because higher temp is just adding warm air to your cold air.

But then we get into how fan blower motors work. Again, in older cars (I don’t know how modern computerized cars work). The blower was on or off. The fan speed knob was actually a resister that caused the fan to blow less hard by reducing the amps to the fan. I’m not an electrical engineer, but I gather the lower speed setting is consuming the same amps, but turning some into heat.

IMO crank it. It’s the same cost no matter the settings.

They think themselves special because

A) it’s a very large state, nearly as large as Alaska. Originally or was going to become several states, but it being admitted to the union prior to the civil war as a slave state the leaders of the country chose to leave it as one huge state because they wanted to keep the ratio of slave and non slave states equal.

B) they used to be an independent country (like Hawaii). Nevermind the fact the only reason they asked to join the Union was that the nation of Texas was broke and couldn’t pay their bills.

C) they’re quite populous, nearly as much so as California.

Basically, when you’re second best at everything and broke af you get a chip on your shoulder.

You missed a really big one of: did you wear clothing the has synthetic fibers? Bam! (Emeril voice) micro plastics.

Delta is primarily an Airbus fleet. They do not currently fly any 737 MAX planes, though they have ordered 100 Max 10s for delivery starting in 2025.

I’ll assume they’re being pressured into it by the significant fuel savings the max offers over their current fleet.

Or, if are willing to fly any of the big 3’s regional brands it’ll be on a regional jet which Boeing doesn’t make. Generally those are made by Bombardier or less commonly Embraer. Though, bigger plane means smoother flight.

If they cap the rate the house can be assessed for at 3% growth per year, they won’t have enough money to keep the state running if the actual rate of inflation is consistently around 5%.

Generally, the state is the biggest employer in any given state. If they don’t have the money to give it raises that match the rate of inflation, the state employees have less purchasing power than they did a year ago.

Any social programs would have that same obstacle.

This is treating a symptom, and it’s going to have repercussions.

Each state taxes differently. I’m not familiar with Georgia’s specifics. I live in MN. School funding is done via property tax and supplemented with a per student amount from the state. If the property tax is capped to 3% a year, if property tax is the primary funding for schools, teacher raises would be have to be capped to 3% a year.

New developments or places with higher turnover (tax assessed value resets when the house is sold) could be able to pay significantly more for teachers than older stable neighborhoods. That excentuates the suburban flight.

Man, woman, person, camera, TV

The doctors were so impressed with how well I did on that intelligent test.

Fwiw, he passed a cognitive stroke exam 4 years ago.

Yes, but the school district police chief actively kept other officers from intervening.

I’ll assume they’re looking into that one person’s actions.
