In Toronto Starbucks is running a program where you can text in your order and digitally pay so that you don’t have to wait in line. Only a matter of time before you can walk through your whole day without human contact.

Exactly. Even teleconferencing is hard to set up (and takes SOOO much longer than a single message to five people, and compiling the responses later in a follow-up). I would think older people tend to work for bigger companies (after moving up the ladder) so in-face meetings take too much time. As for spam, anyone…
Coincidently a friend of mine just reviewed the Commando Cody TV series from 1952 - ‘Commando Cody, Sky Marshal of the Universe’
This version of Aquaman is the only one I’ve ever cared for. I’m pretty sure I won’t be going to see Grim DArquaman.

To be fair, a lot of tech companies are top-heavy with accountants that know numbers but can’t tie their own shoes without tech support. When everything is running fine “why do we even need you?” when everything is fucking up “why do we even need you?” A never ending cycle until you quit.
And yet, who gets the golden parachute for ‘guiding the company’? I think it’s obvious from his speeches that Donald Trump’s empire is run by unpaid interns who already know way more about his business than he ever has...
This is the only time in my life when I was fired instead of leaving for better pay.

Pretty classy.
Well I actually liked the movie while my friends (all fans of the books) hated the film with a passion. That said, I also found the Lord of the Rings films to be much more entertaining than the books, which I know is blasphemy.
Am I the only person who didn’t love Dune? I found this classic to be over-long and, preferring hard SF, I found the science to be pretty vague.
How long did Kryten take care of his dead owners before Lister found him? Centuries? That’s pretty dumb.
5 - Box was “dumb” in the sense that he was *malfunctioning* due to years upon years without maintenance.
That’s not what I meant. To quote from Monty Python…
What’s up with the Flash’s eyes?
