I confess that I’m 25 years into my career field and I still don’t “get” “OKR” and “PKI”.

I know what the acronyms mean and have looked at definitions dozens of times. But, when I see them in practice, I figure that there’s something I’m still missing—some arcane knowledge only revealed to project managers and executives—because they’re always somehow nonsensical to the business, like someone filled in a Mad Lib.

It’s one of those movies that I put on for giggles one boring evening many moons ago, and spent the whole time going “what the fuck?”

Came to add Buckaroo Banzai myself. How that didn’t make the list beggars belief…

Gets my vote.

Funny enough, came to say the Garrett P.I. series.

Fascinating. I guess I’d be curious to know which brands those are.

And, for what it’s worth, I think I’d take mustard or cardboard over coconut oil. 😅

I’ll just take something that modestly melts and doesn’t taste so much of coconut oil. Since becoming near-instantly lactose intolerant in 2019, this has been my been my biggest gripe, as almost every vegan cheese maker uses the stuff and I think it makes the cheese taste awful.

For what it’s worth, they’ve had a “Neuro Fuzzy” rice cooker (https://www.zojirushi.com/app/product/nszcc) for years—ours is at least 10 years old at this point. And, I would bet this is a trivial extension of that—using some decision tables supplemented with heat feedback—with only the addition of a user feedback mechanism, rather than any, true “AI”.

We are in his debt. He showed great courage.

Correction: If they’re voting Republican, they’re united on abortion. You can be a principled objector, but the moment you cast a vote for a Republican—particularly at the national level—you are, like it or not, casting a vote for everything that the party stands for and that includes ending abortion protections.

Not only that, but, I feel like dude there is over the 4’8”-5’2” height requirement for Minnie. Like, that’s hard to prove from a photo like this one. But, given his proportions in relation to the railing and other features in that photo, my first impression would not be to think him short enough.

The problem is that there are a lot of low-information voters who get what little information they do have from sources that have no problem lying to them, be it their friends and coworkers, family and clergy, on up to “news” outlets like FoxNews and NewsMax.

They simply don’t know that the money that could be helping them is being siphoned off by the wealthiest. As far as they know, the reason they’re not getting help is because the Biden administration is giving out money for the construction of non-gendered, litterbox restrooms for trans furries. No points off for being outlandish, either. Whatever keeps them from discovering that it’s the billionaire class sucking up the money, and not the Democrats, LGBT, immigrants, etc.
