I have one you should love. And by that I mean hate.

Over a decade ago I was installing some equipment I designed, training the operators, etc. There were electrical and software components to the system, and it was used to test products coming out of final assembly.

The very first thing that happened was the operator taking the stapled-together stack of detailed instructions I gave them, dropping it on the work bench, and using it as a mouse pad to start aimlessly clicking around.

The engineer in the joke should have ordered some Bobby Tables for dessert.

Good to see the party of small government at it again, not that they ever stopped.

Sad American upvote for that. I can’t imagine how this country must look to people around the world.

Starlink is probably a stopgap measure for areas that still have to build up the physical infrastructure for the real solution.

It’s more of a solution for having internet available just about anywhere. Probably good for various emergency/rescue scenarios.

The modern glutton cares only about acquiring resources, not whether those resources make them happy or if their acquisition makes others miserable.

If there was documentation all over the place it would shatter my suspension of disbelief. It would ruin my dinosaur movie!

I loved making interfaces like that for internal systems in the past. I’d find a way to put everything relevant on the screen and able to be read or interacted with any time it’s necessary. I also had it flow top to bottom and left to right, because there was typically a physical process step associated with that station.

I think we have to consider that from the perspective of many shareholders, receiving dividends vs increased share price is basically the same thing. I know all my accounts are set to reinvest dividends, for example.

So if a company reinvests all its income and grows like crazy, the shareholders will profit from that growth even if you might say “profit” wasn’t distributed.

Well they said conservatives push back against progress, so I think welcoming their new king checks out.

I looked at the preview image of him in disbelief, them was caught off guard by your comment being the first one shown in my client!
