With respect, you don't think it's substantive to point out that the new CEO has a rather tall job in order, using colloquial language?

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

I hope she has an infinite supply of lipstick because this pig will need it :|

It sure is great that this industry doesn't have a larger than normal population of neurodivergent folks, or this might be a real problem for a lot of us!

or, conversely, turn them off before it starts and try to figure out what he's doing and why. then when it's done, turn the captions on and watch it again!

our living room turns into bedlam when we do this. everyone shouting what is about to happen or why it's happening and we're almost always wrong. it's great!

I had a 2001 Audi and it was by far the best vehicle I've ever owned. I bought a 2016 Audi trying to replicate that and I was dumbfounded by how little it had changed in 15 years, but what _had_ changed seemed to be distinctly for the worse. I won't be buying another one :(

You can have a channel, of sorts. You add people to a giant group message and change the title.

Voila. Channel. You need to know someone in the channel to add you to the channel, but suddenly you can avoid that threaded bullshit.

God I hate using teams

If you figure out how to make use of the hardware, please let us know. Getting a unit I couldn't even install another skill on made it functionally useless to me. I don't need a robot to tell me what time it is, I need someone to add carrots to the fucking shopping list or turn lutron caseta lights on when I'm rummaging around with my hands full.

Even if it's tearing it apart and repurposing the guts for a frisbee, I'm looking for ideas.

Me either, but that's because I type `:wq!` every single time instead. I'm not one of those who is afraid of typing more than a single character so I don't care if it's actually 3 I'm hitting. I am someone whose entire brain comes to an absolute crash if I type "wq" and it's asking me if I want to save over a RO file. It's like having a belt loop or pocket catch on a door handle and I despise it.

So, `:wq!`, or as I call it "write the fucking file and quit, _with feeling_"

I think their point is sometimes their left pinky is a bit lazy and won't get off the fucking shift key

Accept the job, never show up. It's petty, but when the system is rigged sometimes petty is the only viable "fuck you" left

He's been dead for almost a century, so I don't think he's vetting much of anything at the moment

Oh, no, I guess they'll just have to do everything as slowly and by the book as possible. Darn.

my other pithy statement that I stand behind is my poorly routed sign that says "Glasses and Mask, Jackass" and sits right in front of the door entry to my workshop.

haste makes waste, but even worse, it can make for blind people with breathing problems
