Scenario I’ve been playing with:

Suppose you are kidnapped by two people. They tell you that one of them will shoot you and then let you go, but you get to decide who shoots. Person A says he will shoot you in the head. Person B says he will shoot you in the shoulder. Which do you choose?

The more think about this the more I like it. Both persons are clearly awful and contributed to the situation. Both could offer better choices but refuse. Both are rather similar in outcomes. But one is clearly worse.

Is it rational to choose to be shot at all? Is it rational to not choose the better of two alternatives?

This happened with the shift from manual to automatic transmissions. I used to frequently hear/read people complaining that no one knows how to drive a stick anymore.

I loved Torque Test Channel’s take on the whole metric thing… https://youtu.be/2QUum9NymZY?si=8w7PCNReVX1-3tMn

Sometimes they are just broken. Bad scales, sensors, etc. Kroger’s converyor style checkouts are especially bad.

I’m still hoping for good customer support AI. If I’m going to be connected to someone who barely speaks English and is required to follow a prewritten script, or worse plays prerecorded messages to fake being fluent, I might as well talk to an AI, especially if it means shorter hold times.

AI is a bad replacement for good customer service, but it could be an improvement over bad customer service.

I was waiting for: dear sandwich theif, this is IT. We have the printer logs. HR brought us donuts. Your move.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 (written at least 2200 years ago)

That same verse mentions adultery, yet somehow these same people think Trump is a holy man of god…

What happens with bikes when it rains, or there is a heat wave, or intense cold? I assume these are solved problems where bike culture is common but haven’t seen much discussion about it.

It was created by some of the same people who made Lost. Both shows relied heavily on flashbacks to make the shows seem more planned out. Both relied on inconsistent mythologies to fake worldbuilding.

Value is a weird concept. Even if mathematically the two stacks should have the same value, odds are some people will consider the $100 bill stack worth more, and be willing to do more in exchange for it. That effectively does make it worth more.

If you think that’s bad, consider all the people who sing along with recorded music like they are part of the band.

The directions on all of these are wrong! I find it much less likely to tear when using on hand in the center of the bottom edge.

Why does that pizza taste like glass and plastic?
