Do… do you put milk in your car?

Are you okay, buddy?

Reset in this case is highly likely to result in Neolithic 2: unga bunga balloo.

We really do need to figure out what we’re gonna do when an AI fucks up and gets someone the death penalty for a parking ticket or something.

If a real lawyer were to fuck you over, you could report them to the bar association and have their license taken away. Could even sue them for losses. Will you be able to come for an AIs license? Can you get restitution from the AI company for things the AI did?

We’ve already seen AIs toast entire production environments. If a human did that, they’d be fired at the least. If an investigation found it was done intentionally, a human could potentially be sued for losses of revenue. Nothing has happened to the AIs that have done this. There is no recourse. I can think of no worse industry for a lack of accountability than law.

It absolutely is not.

Toilet have a cloaca as long as they haven’t been neutered. To check the gender, slip your arm up the P-trap and feel for the glands. You’ll know what a dick feels like.

Most domesticated toilets are neutered at birth to prevent overpopulation and damage to the local sewage ecosystems.

Having been near a horse before, I’ll take my chances with the microplastics.

Vile creatures.

Ehhh, the French mocking people is hardly something to stand on as an argument. Other things the French will mock people for:

  • pronouncing bread names wrong
  • attempting to pronounce bread names correctly
  • liking the Eiffel Tower
  • not liking the Eiffel Tower
  • speaking French
  • not speaking French

An Americano is also not just coffee, it is espresso. This is like saying someone can’t handle their liquor because they ask for a cocktail they can sip on instead of straight shots of vodka. I do like shots of espresso as a pick me up sometimes, but other times I want something I can sip on whilst talking with a friend or working. Much like how sometimes I will slam back whiskey like it’s water, or make a nice cocktail if I’m taking it easy and want to enjoy myself.

What’s “real coffee”

Coffee is made from ground up coffee beans steeped in water.

Do you just eat the beans?

Is this the European health secret?

Am HVAC tech.

No one has money. I knew things were truly fucked before Christmas when I was talking to a guy, standing in his living room that is larger than my entire fucking house, and he was hemming and hawing about replacing his furnace blower motor that was actively leaking oil. I felt scummy having to point out that it is an actual fire hazard. He pushed the repair off to the new year so he could get some money together. Another guy had to call his sister to pay me for his dispatch fee, and then said he’d buy an inducer motor at Home Depot because my quote for the warranty repair was too high. I wish him the best of luck.

It has not gotten better. I fear for my job on a weekly basis. I had to switch to a new company due to moving states for my wife’s job, and I am having a hell of a time proving I can bring value when people are barely able to afford capacitors at discounted rates. I had one guy whose unit won’t even start just say they’ll just not have AC.

He’s cooked, I’m cooked, we’re all cooked.

The way the laws are being written, it applies to literally any computing device.

They just say “operating system” there’s no carve out for servers or iot or anything. Technically you will have to provide a date of birth to use a smart fridge now. Hell, there’s at least one toaster I know of that has a full android install on it, that will need age verification too.

Which Adult? Can we stop them from doing that?

I mean, I fix my own fridges and appliances and do small appliance work for my friends and neighbors, but I already own the required tools so I’m really just charging for some time and the refrigerant.

134a is still cheap, and no company worth their salt should be charging a fee to customers so that specialized tools can be purchased. If you don’t own the tools of the trade, that’s a company problem, not a customer problem.

3000 dollars was a “I don’t want to do it price”

For people I don’t know, I do charge about 300 bucks to just show up, because that covers operating costs and an hour of my time. But unless the system was pulling into a vacuum, it shouldn’t take longer than an hour or so to recover the refrigerant, patch the leak, pull a vacuum, and recharge. So yeah, if your fridge is only worth 500 bucks, it’s not worth it. But if it’s an expensive fridge it might be worth it to find an appliance technician that will charge you a fair rate to repair the damage.
