The sign is ugly, and that’s not just me being an Elon hater. It looks like it was cobbled together using scrap metal and building materials they had laying around the building. And to make matters worse, there are aerial photos of the thing sitting on the roof, and it’s being held down with sand bags. I can see why…

The story of the Titanic is often portrayed as being a parable of Man’s hubris and how they arrogantly declared that the ship was unsinkable doomed it.

Uh, carbon fiber submarine hull??? Wtf.

I don’t know why you threw in ADHD/Autism even as a joke, because it makes no sense and just perpetuates a false dichotomy and builds unnecessary stigmas. This guy is no different from every c-suit, company executive, CEO, or investor. They are driven by greed, and in this guy’s case to be admired.

If you want to slap…

The right has a love affair with unfuckable male faces. The dumber the better. Trump, DeSantis, Graham ... I mean, Mitch Mcconnell is the very definition of nightmare fuel.

The claim that remote work is “morally wrong” is like everything Musk says: not thought through, not well-reasoned, but delivered with lots of confidence.

Says someone who didn’t pay his office rent.

Covering up bad smells with chemical smells is hardly an improvement. Line your trash can and empty it regularly. 

Speaking of strangling workflow. The graphical interface of the the browser version of Office is just absolutely atrocious. Like, it’s almost impossible to even figure out how to browse to open a damn file. How hard is it to use the standard file dialog box that everybody has used for the last 30 years? But no,…

This is the society you get when you treat firearm ownership as an inalienable right, rather than a privilege with responsibilities.

Nope. The pennies were dumped in a big pile on the guy’s driveway, along with a note saying “fuck you.” The coins were also covered in some sort of oil.

I used to work for a company that made a RADAR based blind spot monitoring system.  I would occasionally point out that almost any car can be easily set up such that you didn’t even need the dollar and eighty nine cent convex mirror that could replace our system.  People did not find this charming...

The vast majority of people don’t realize that sideview mirrors can be adjusted to the point where there is almost no blind spot between the side and rear view mirrors. There is no need to see the sides of your car in your sideview mirrors, it’s just a waste of mirror space. There is also no need to see behind you…

I’m glad they’re doing this.

I don’t have instagram, so I can’t see much in the way of detail. But it reminds me of those macaroni and newspaper clippings pieces that the art-teacher loves for being so “thoughtful”, but really aren’t that interesting. How much was this one, again?

Visitors at work have been extra levels of trash lately and essentially it’s because the sane good people are staying home until things settle.

Yeah, I saw that the perpetrator was going with the “self-defense” argument. Problem is, now that the video is out, it doesn’t really back up her claims.

I’m wondering if this is related to the rise of extra-shitty restaurant customers. Most reasonable people cut back on eating out and flying, so the people who are left are disproportionately terrible.

Some airlines did, at least as a temporary response to the pandemic.  But apparently industry revenues from alcohol are 3x that of food and other beverages, and the markups on alcohol are high.  Most airlines aren’t willing to give that up.

Please just remember - these are essentially extremely fine sandpaper equivalents, their entire ‘erasing’ feature is simply the result of wearing down the surface being cleaned. So it may be unwise to use these heavily on items such as keyboards where the keycaps have the letters ‘imprinted’ on them via decal or…
