Yes, it's probably good fun, but he just made an excellent example of how "gun safety" is often thrown around as an oxymoron by people who don't actually practice gun safety.

In my ears it sounds like "I'm a good driver when I'm drunk."

Udover penge osv. så bør I også overveje at planlægge hvordan I vil bruge tiden. Det giver en masse muligheder, men kan også være en kilde til frustration hvis man ikke har klare forventninger til hinanden. Især hvis pengene er små.

I don't remember ever actually not knowing basic firearms safety, handling and operation

Many weekends I recall spending in middle of nowhere West Virginia getting hammered on weird chemicals that had just been invented 4 days prior with fully automatic weapon

Yes, I am looking at you weirdly.

the CEO has said that managers need to prove that AI can’t do a job if they want to increase headcount

This is why it will fail. Instead of the CEO providing any kind of explanation for how AI could work, managers now need to waste their time arguing with the CEO why their stupid ideas won't work.

I have one manager who does this kind of reverse burden of proof all the time (unrelated to AI), and in the meantime we don't get anything done of value of to the company.

It's like trying to push a door that says pull.

In a city of billionaires, 10 days of food is about enough for 1 days of food for one of them.

Yes, we have quite an unhealthy alcohol culture here.

The only redeeming factor is that most people make their mistakes learning their tolerance while still being young enough to avoid getting in serious trouble.

If you've never touched alcohol at 18, you might want to be extra careful about it. It's kinda cringe to watch grown ups not knowing their limits, because it's assumed that they should know by now.

I know. I just find it hard to believe.

The largest and most expensive military on Earth shouldn't be that incompetent.

Doesn't change much does it?

Whenever I park my car, I usually check if there's a bunch of innocent schools girls in the way first.

I'd like to think that bombs are thrown around a little more carefully than how I park my car.

Is there anything the rest of the world can do to help you with your orange fascist problem?

Because it seems to be in the way of solving a lot of the other issues.

This right here:

The effectiveness of boycotts relies on a mass demonstration of refusal, and that massive movement doesn’t currently exist."

This is the problem.

If one dumb ass CEO decides to destroy the environment, it requires millions of people to know about it and act upon it, just to make a dent in the quarterly income statement that might make the one CEO consider other options.

We don't actually have a choice as consumers.

We can vote for more regulation of companies, but politics only work locally, while pollution works globally. We'll basically need a world wide political concesus just to stop one single idiot from destroying the globe.

The guillotine might be a brutal and unpleasant vigilant idea, but it sure as hell is faster, cheaper and causes fewer casualties than any other way.

Who's volunteering for that role?

The primary function of most umbrellas is marketing.

If you want an umbrella that works better on (slightly) windy days you're going to want one with a dome that covers further down over your head and is transparent, so you can see through it. These don't break as easily in the wind, but of course any umbrella works like a sail.

There's also asymmetrical umbrellas made specifically for windy weather. I have no experience with those, but they look cool.
