Aaaaaaaargh!
I had a MicroS0ft Co-Pilot (“AI”) training course today. The presenter was a bit…overenthusiastic. Maybe don’t slam two cans of Monster before starting a 90 minute session?
Be that as it may, the Links must go on.
- It is Free Agent Day! Check here for updates.
- Turkey learned from watch the US “Resistance”.
- Insert “Trainspotting” joke here?
- Compare and contrast?
Music is all yours, so are the comments.
BTW – we are out of posts again. HALP!
Inserted this late in the last link because the time change got me.
Sheep music.
Oh right… my entire department was assigned one the other day. Learned from a coworker who started it that the assigned course is three years old and out-of-date from what I already taught myself from the tutorial on GitHub. 🙄
The gubbermint is pushing hard to use Gemini, which I did some training on last week.
The training was very poor. Right up to US Army standards.
Yanked soldiers from their duties to roleplay? Those were some quality training videos.
This was after the IT head assigned six hours (!) of video to me, a recording of two randos from MS talking to 100 of my collegues all of them asking questions.
I quit that after 47 minutes and learning nothing useful. The online tutorials are way more useful than people jabbering.
Time change is killing me this year. GlibFlicks will be late, should be done Wednesday.
“Turkey learned from watch the US ‘Resistance’.”
The first time I heard the phrase Deep State was in the 90s in reference to Turkey. It was a way of keeping Islamists from gaining too much power, and was the reason Turkey has had a history of military coups. It’s also why one of the first things Erdogan did was fire a bunch of generals.
“Imamoglu”? Really?
“Oğlu” is Turkish for “son of”. With a name like that he should be a shoo-in.
Was I the only one up when 1:59 rolled over th 3:00 this past sunday?
I was there, watching TV.
Is that like waiting for the ball to drop on NY Eve?
In either case I missed it and it didn’t seem to matter.
No, I slept early and woke up around midnight or so.
I opted to stay up until regular bed time.
Used to be I always was but I think I passed out too early this year. It is not easy to stay up that late anymore.
A Sunday fire in a Glasgow, Scotland, vape shop has shut down the city’s neighboring central train station Monday morning, and services aren’t likely to resume for a while.
All those profits gone up in smoke.
Perhaps I should be concerned…
If you’re 39, I would say yes.
Corporate is forcing everyone to complete agentic AI training by the end of the month. Hopefully I can learn how to tie it into email and chat.
Teach it that taxation is theft and then watch the sparks fly.
Even better, can it generate realistic key-presses?
Swiss: did you catch the Saturday Six Nations scores? Much drama.
Nothing about the Constitutional right to exchange cash for goods and services?
Are the only opponents of that totalitarian bullshit being proposed in Helvetia leftist parties or is that just the media bias?
Don’t go in the water
Police in Australia’s Northern Territory warned of crocodiles “absolutely everywhere” on Sunday and said they had moved more than 1,000 people across the state into shelter after massive floods.
The state has endured heavy rains over the weekend, with the town of Katherine experiencing its worst flooding since 1998.
——-
“There is crocs absolutely everywhere. Please don’t go in the water. The message is quite clear,” he said. “Don’t swim in the water for two reasons: it’s a fast flowing river, and also, this is where crocs are most active.”
Assistant police commissioner Travis Wurst also warned residents of Katherine not to “do something silly” and jump in the water.
He warned of “crocodiles and other things that will make your life difficult.”
Australia is hazardous to your health.
Sounds like a job for Florida Man. Or Aussie Man.
Florida Man, with his Florida tan, driving his reptile abatement van.
Northern Territory; Australian for Floridah.
Year round tropical weather AND crocs everywhere. Where do I sign up??
You could make a little saddle and ride one to work.
Darwin at its finest.
Crockie!
Well, the markets went bananas today. The Dow fell something like 800 points out of the gate, Trump whispered to the sky that the Iran War is almost over, and the Dow rallied in the final hour of trading to end up 240 points in the positive.
He’s just fucking with us now, isn’t he?
Hope so. My bank stock is down $24k since the unemployment numbers came out and the war started.
If the back up camera on your Ford craps out will the car still be driveable?
You will be in violation of precious regulations! How dare you consider driving!
Things I learned last week…when cleaning one of these, it is best to wipe WITH the blade rather than INTO the blade. I swear I’m getting dumber every year.
I want to make a “worlds tiniest mandolin” joke, but, seriously, are your finger tips still there? My wife has one and I am always worried about that when I do the dishes.
Yeah, just sliced a piece of skin off. Of course, wife was out of town so the ensuing 60 minutes involved (retrospective) hilarity involving blood drops everywhere, fingers stuck together with superglue and other zany activities.
Yikes. Yes, I’ve drawn blood with my crappy Oxo mandolin. Those Japanese ones are much sharper.
BABOON LIVES MATTER!!!!
Compare: Marginalized regions, pensioners, and businesses would be particularly affected. Sounds like the Swiss Government has already picked out the 10 baboons they’re going to eliminate.
I got the last spot in the next trucking class. Lucky me. It starts April 1st.
It’ll feel good to be busy again with something after so much down time.
Anyway, it’s better than more waiting for a welding spot.
Nice. Go Derpy!
Good luck!
WTF?
Popular gun brand files Chapter 7 bankruptcy, faces liquidation
——-
Now, Umbrella Armory, a custom gun manufacturer in the recreational firearms space, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
While it was less likely that recreational guns, which do not fire lethal bullets, would be outlawed, the current slowdown has had a wide-ranging impact, including Umbrella Armory’s decision to liquidate.
A) never heard of them
B) “do not fire lethal bullets” Are we talking about an airsoft company?
C) The Street is apparently run by morons.
Popular toy maker (that no one has ever heard of) files Chapter 7.
The company operated in the airsoft equipment sector, selling high-end customized airsoft rifles and parts, according to Edhat.
So, no Street smarts?
That may be the dumbest article I have ever read. The person who wrote it should be tied to a fence post and whipped with a knotted rope.
Got rear ended at light today. Luckily low low speed. No apparent damage to either vehicle other than a little dent in others license plate. And I was going to take my trailer hitch out soon.
Congratulations on getting rear ended? o.O
NTTAWWT.
“Maybe don’t slam two cans of Monster before starting a 90 minute session?”
Caffeine is a scam. Ritual, yes, but that’s it. “This is what I associate with morning wakefulness!” It’s also true stimulants calm me down. Up the ante to coke? No, that is not a scam. (Feed me.) But otherwise. Hrm.
Likely best to ignore my Lived Experience, but I wanna let you know, I’m aware of it.
Bizarre story
The family of a Georgia teacher who died over the weekend after a high school student prank gone wrong say they fully support dropping criminal charges against the five teenage students who were involved in the prank.
In a statement to ABC News, the family of North Hall High School math teacher and coach Jason Hughes said, “We are thankful for the outpouring of prayers and support as we grieve the loss of Jason. We ask that you continue to pray for our family and also for the students involved in the accident along with their families. Please join us in extending grace and mercy to them as Christ has done for us.”
The family also said Hughes knew the students were coming to his house and was excited to catch them during the prank.
Mercy is not bizarre.
The worst imagineable sort of stupid bad luck is.
Normally I think that people who do ‘pranks’ should be stoned to death and buried in a convenient landfill.
But accidentally killing someone isn’t really a foreseeable consequence of TP’ing someone’s house.
But again, running over a pedestrian under *any* circumstances requires either considerable carelessness or deliberate malice.
I’m not just of two minds here, I’m of three minds…
“On the gripping hand…”
The teachers I worked with considered it a badge of honor. My house was TPed a couple times, a hose solved the problem. OTOH with 2 teenagers at the time TP control was an occasional problem.

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has captured the sharpest images ever taken from space of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 sites, revealing the twists and turns of the paths made when the astronauts explored these areas.

I suppose the conspiracy theorists retorted that those images were also faked by NASA.
To see the landing sites from earth would require a telescope with a 200 m wide aperture. The Extremely Large Telescope now under construction will have a 39 m aperture.
