@xenon I think the appropriate word in Musk’s case is kow-tow. An age old Chinese subservience protocol.

Yeah, there's a lot of sorrow for a lot of us this season. Sigh.

@Mik said in Bad Systems: Not unusual. My place is pretty fast once you get back there but requires two check-ins. Thar's gold in them thar hills. Got to be an easier way to leverage technology. Ought to be able to complete any needed paperwork and get a check-in time on your phone, as soon as your orders drop. Walk in the door, give them two unique identifiers, get banded and queued.

@Rainman said in John Dean wants to sue: Aqua, you have just explained what's going on better than anything I've heard. Your explanation makes sense to me, seeing as how my SEO people have been stumbling all over themselves trying to explain what has changed. And, I pay them a lot each month, to (supposedly) keep ahead of the herd. They keep trying to pound the square peg into the round hole, and pretend that it fits. Yeah, SEO is a total arms race. It's basically professional rules lawyering, except the rules of the game keep changing on them. It's a slog. Not to worry, though. Chat GPT and Lambda are going to turn their worlds completely upside down in the coming year (years if we're lucky), whether they know it or not. The downside is, no one knows what that technology is going to do to the very concept of online business as we know it.

Should I be buying a massive laser? I've kind of always wanted one.

As long as the playing field is level, I careth not. But we all know that is not the case.

If the dog couldnt keep it down and threw it back up, why would any human want to eat that?

At least Mik is the closest...

Won’t be the last story of its kind.

Sounds about right. Had the kid been black, this would have been a massive story.
