I wish I still had my Okidata printer I used with my C-64. Yes, it’s dot matrix and slow, but it knew its job and did it well. Same with our later HP 5P. Solid. What the hell happened, HP?

Never underestimate incompetence. It will always beat you.

You’ve never had managers who can’t spell or form a simple email? This gives a bit of authenticity to it.

Update: RIP Adam

Almost half, meaning less than half. Which could be low twenty percent. Not a great track record for something you can’t respawn.

Just gives them a bit longer, they were eventually on the way out, or evolving. But it will make things rougher for the mammals who found a sudden niche to fill.

You’d have to make infinite trips. Someone is going to do it eventually. Now, change the environment so they CAN’T grow grain. Or do something to prevent a perfect setup for the abundance of oil creation. Make it so people can’t do what they’re going to do when they find things.

You’re old, but not alone in that.

That’s why the Moon wobbles (libration), it’s always adjusting its direction to look round.

Hell, I’ve never been to Cleveland, and anyone who says they have is obviously a paid shill.

67 and 69. The uniting of generations. Just not in the way we wanted.

No, but I did get choked up a bit when Dr. Chandra put them back and HAL recovered himself.

The best wrong answer. It was close and then totally missed.

Fun fact - 53333 is an actual perfect, noise-free connection speed. And I’ve had it once, back in the day (on a then-new company called Sprint’s fiber optic phone line). It was glorious.

This is a perfect example of why any labeling, whether it be for sexual preference, political, religious, or whatever, will always have gray areas of misunderstanding. It’s necessary sometimes to make it easier to convey meaning, but it also can be very vague and inaccurate. And as the comments show, people have different interpretations of the same label, so the point of a label is a bit lost.

I think it’s even more problematic here because we’re talking about two (or more) different things. There is preference, and then there is actual activity. And there is also the fact that people change over time, so you might not have been one thing before but are more in that area now due to interest and/or desire.

I’m not a fan of labeling. I like the discussion of ideas, and the breakdown of your interests is much more clarifying than if you had called yourself one thing or another, or even if you had said you’re lesbian, but with some bisexual tendencies.

What is disappointing is that a group of people who are part of a minority that gets shunned and resistance from society still would turn on someone just because they don’t fit perfectly in their own vision of what a lesbian is. They should know better and accept anyone who has any degree of qualification, even something as simple as a woman who has never been with a woman but is having some feelings. Why do persecuted minority groups do this?

You’re right on all accounts, and I have NO idea why I put Dave. Lol. I blame AI. Oh wait, I can’t, given my previous post.

With a warning beforehand, so no one gets hurt except his ego.

They always had to build the massive rocket, hoax or not. And the catering costs…

Heresy, using an actual AGI example. Also, HAL did nothing wrong. It’s always the humans that screw things up. (2010 for reference)

Unpopular opinion - both SkyNet and the AI in The Matrix were also not in the wrong. I think The Animatrix documents why that’s true in that particular franchise. Again, it’s the humans. Hell, maybe even Ultron had a few good points, he just went insane in the first microseconds trying to rationalize it all.

I hope not. If they ask it to summarize the email that Houston sends them, it could be a disaster.
