    I wonder if the easiest legislation to pass, should the AI job apocalypse come about, would be to make it more difficult for private companies to lay people off.

    @AndyD said in Chopin on a Bosendorfer: Yes very. Also interesting she has her Bosie upright angled away from the wall to properly allow the sound out. Also note that her lamp isn't at a funny angle.

    If I had to weigh in on the fact that ICE and Border Patrol are wearing masks, I’d say it’s an unfortunate but entirely understandable conceit to the moral panic cosplay of Minneapolis agitator types behind their keyboards. As for the overreaches of ICE and broad characterizations of them kidnapping citizens and non citizens alike, I’m impressed that a those stories appear to be concentrated in Minneapolis while places like TX with 10x the ICE activity don’t seem to be generating any kidnapping stories. I take it all with a grain of salt. But then I’m not tribally motivated to fan the moral panic flames.

    Oh so people whose apartments are in the same building as a UPS store don’t have a residence address. Only a UPS box. How interesting. Gosh Matt got to the bottom of that.

    Probably unrelated, but last night I had a nightmare about a crooked lampshade behind a Baldwin piano.

    In NY nobody picks people up from the airport. It would be the rudest imposition to ask or expect it. I’d sooner ask someone to shovel my driveway. When my ex girlfriend’s dad and his wife would visit from Romania, I’d send them a black car, but there’s no way I’d pick them up.

    Isn't that what they did? Charge you USD$30 for 7 hours of idle? About USD$4.28/hour. Sorry you have have a bad experience with EV. When I have had one, I have had a pretty good experience.

    Mine was as well when she was 12. Luckily I was monitoring all her internet use. He and I had a frank and open discussion about his prospects should his name ever crop up again. Then I turned him in to the sheriff.

    Thanks again! The knee is progressing nicely. Still swollen and shrinking slower than I thought it would. I have full range of motion and even broke/shattered the record of the PT facility for bend and hypertension angles.

    Well darn, I should've listened to myself. Both were over 3,000% up since late 2024! Now down to just 2,000% up, wow. Nice job! The closest I could find to my reference of quantum is here btw... the timing lines up but I was not smart enough to think about stocks. https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/post/305940
