Ehhhhhhhh.

We have two Kias. An EV6 and a Telluride, so their EV and gas lines.

They’re nice looking cars, but the “Kia quality” definitely creeps in. If we didn’t get them on dirt cheap leases I would probably be pissed lol.

Because they basically are. There's only so many ways to design a double walled vacuum insulated cup lol.

That was Obama actually. With swine flu in 2009.

There wasn’t any protocol to deal with pandemics when swine flu rolled around. The Obama admin was caught completely off guard and recognized that the office wasn’t equipped to handle something like that. Luckily swine flu ended up being extremely minor, but they took it to heart and put together a team and playbook for dealing with a pandemic.

Trump trashed that as soon as he entered office.

If I’ve learned anything over the last 8-9 years, it’s that all these bottles are the same damn thing lol. One brand just happens to capitalize on a design trend first and that’s what lands.

That’s bullshit and you know it.

None of these models exist in a vacuum. If one company has a specific model that another doesn’t, other companies will buy access to it. That’s the entire business model.

Meta doesn’t need to use MetaAI for it. They’ll use PharmaAI for $1M a year if it saves them $1M and $1 by firing people that could cost them.

And PharmaAI isn’t gonna only sell access to medical schools and hospitals for life saving purposes. They’re gonna sell to whoever pays.

And AI routinely breaks the rules if you prompt it correctly. Convincingly tell it to ignore HIPAA, and it’ll give you everything it knows about a person. If hospital A (conveniently in network with Metas offered health plans) uses PharmaAI and Meta uses PharmaAI, then Meta will inevitably have access to the data. With enough money or the right prompting. These shithead companies have exactly zero privacy safeguards.

That chart is a bit outdated. That might be the millennial moms that pick up the trend late.

All the white Gen Z girls at work have HydroJug now. Owala was a a while back. Stanley was more covid era.

My wife has a fuckin entire cabinet dedicated to her damn cups.

I could see Gordon being more unmedicated ADHD because of his stance on drugs.

He quite famously is very anti-drug due to his brother being a heroin addict, his father dying from alcohol abuse, and another very close friend dying of an overdose.

That was part of the inspiration for this show. The rampant cocaine usage in the kitchen industry, and his personal experiences with addicts.

That’s how far we’ve fallen. Bush was a god awful president responsible for the financial crash and countless deaths in the Middle East.

But he at least had some redeeming qualities. His PEPFAR program (canceled by Trump) has also saved tens of millions of lives from HIV/AIDS in Africa. He also established the worlds largest marine protected area, the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

Trump has no real redeeming qualities.

This was like a week after his death. Ol boy wasn’t even cold yet. She went on a whole “grief tour” throwing massive events.

Pretty well, speaking from direct experience. VA has taken care of me medically. Got my degree paid for. Got a zero down home loan. Gave me connections that have supercharged my civilian career.

Virtually everyone I served with has the same experience. The Marines were nothing but good for my life. Just sucked while I was in lol.

I know there are vets out there with the opposite experience. But the ones I personally know with that experience were shitheads before the Marines and shitheads when they got out/got kicked out.

No I got that. I’m saying that by the time the prod deploy comes around, there’s no proofreading left to do anyway.

Not proofreading texts should have zero bearing on being able to write and deploy software because it should be proofread several times before the actual prod deployment. Hell it very likely isn’t even the same person doing the deployment that wrote the code.
