Yeah, they do a great intimidation game but the usual standing tall with arms wide makes them back off, certainly with slow deliberate steps towards them. They’re much more nasty towards children and people showing fear.

The classic “I’m sorry” and “you’ll be sorry”. It starts with the first until given reason to switch to the second.

And why AI companies push back hard on regulations and accountability.

If it’s any comfort, many killers are charming, outgoing and sympathetic so they can get close to their victims.

It’ll be more like in the tropics with a dry and rain season, sometimes also called drought and flooding season.

It takes several weeks to acclimate. Our summer went from 17 to 35 Celsius (roughly 65 to 95 F) in a week time. It was too much.

These days they play on rage so everybody forgets about governance and policy.

“How’s the timeshare doing, dad?”

I’ve tried some. You could save up points, but redeeming points didn’t work properly. Then the points expire because they want to push you to go back. In the end its a big hassle and not worth the scraps you receive.

It’s now rebranded to Viva Engage

Number 7 is iffy. The full quote should be that this could’ve been an email if anyone actually reads the emails.

We had a whole bunch of people shocked that the system they were using was restarted. It was announced through Yammer and email multiple times, the first one weeks in advance, the last one the day before.

And that’s how they got to announcing these things in an all hands meeting.

What is the minimum safe time to shelter?

24 hours absolute minimum. 72 hours per most civil defence authorities. 14 days for a designed shelter in a fallout zone.

And after that, it depends on how much of society is left.

But you also have to think about the time the shelter is on standby, and that might be decades. You don’t want by the time you enter the shelter to find out there is mold everywhere, the food is all expired and the fuel tank corroded and leaked.

It can still be hooked up to outside air. With good enough filters you can prevent radioactive dust getting into the machine and that dust outside settles quickly enough. But living in a bunker is never a long term solution and a good setup is expensive to prevent mold, have enough spare parts, enough fuel that doesn’t expire, medicine, …

The ad people explained that they do not mess with the volume! It’s that “movies have soft and hard sound pieces and ads have more hard sound pieces.” To me, that sounds like they mess with the volume and know it.

That’s how you get Samsung using trickery in pictures you take of the moon.

Potemkin businesses.

Reminds me of

The light you see would be blue shifted because of the speed you’re going and become gamma rays for you. Radio waves would shift to visible light. So you would see radio.

If you would move that fast on the ground, you’d slam into air molecules at light speed, causing a huge shockwave like a continuous Hiroshima nuke going of. That would make you sad.
