I'm currently shopping for a window fan with dual fans.

90% of them are digital with a remote.

I want an analog one with knobs damnit!!

As fun as it is to shit on Microsoft I like thier approach to AI.

It doesn't replace staff. It helps them work more efficiently like having a personal assistant. Putting knowledge in thier hands to bridge gaps.

One example I saw was using AI to generate a Python script in context to make a chart with future predictions using a simple prompt and input. So instead of bothering your developer to write your basic Python you use AI for this tiny basic bit.

Me: Prints text document in black and white
Printer: REPLACE YELLOW CARTRIDGE
Me: Cancel. Goes to printer settings. Set BLACK ONLY. Print again.
Printer: REPLACE YELLOW CARTRIDGE
Me: Throws printer in the trash. Picks up 10 year old laser printer for $50.
Printer: Auto installs. Prints from original cartridge.

Same reason some humans do Yoga.

Scheduled quiet/relax time.

I used to do house calls a decade ago for IT work. Often customers offered me beverages.

Had a European who worked at the UN for decades make me tea. Blew my socks off. I've never enjoyed tea, but it seems like we just don't know how to make it!

... The next month I was offered tea by a American. I wasn't expecting it being made by a pro, but let him try.

He put "hot" tap water into a cup and tossed a teabag in.
I fake drank it.

I use distilled water for espresso and tea... Thankfully I started because of my electric kettle and espresso machine. Keeping the machines cleaner.

Never microwaved distilled water.

I have an unfinished project to make a nukit with a power knob.

I got a cardboard proof of concept working but need to make my mark 1 out of plywood or something else.

I picked up one last month. Organic. Hated it...

Sounds like you need to start a company and per diem staff.

Yep I'd call the cops at that time. Not fucking around.

It wasn't even about going faster at that point.

I was trying to force them to slow down and go around... Instead they went apeshit.

I was on a 3 lane highway going interstate. Doing 80 in a 65 on the fast lane. Big rig in the middle lane. Slowly gaining and will pass the bog rig.

Then a pickup is coming up in the fast lane TOO FAST. Easily 100mph. She tailgates me. Now boxxed in with me in front and the big rig on her right. A sane person would go in the third lane and pass us since zero other cars around. But no.

She lays on her horn and starts swaying with impatience.
So I match speed with the big rig. Maintaining the box. She honks ways more and sways even more. Shaking her fist at me.

I maintain it for another 2 minutes until my wife gets concerned she'll rear end us and we end up spinning off the highway or under the big rig.

I give in and speed up past the big rig and change lanes to her wacko pass. They speed off.

Yeah it's never worth it. You never know what people will do.
