TIL: The Butlerian Jihad from the Dune series was named after a real New Zealand sheep farmer who declared war on the machines 161 years ago...

The Rizzo center in Chapel Hill is an amazing Hotel. They are my measuring stick for every other hotel. Unlimited tiny haagen daaz is soooo terrible for your waistline though.

Someone has to know their names, be technically advanced, and cartoonishly racist enough to care enough to go to this kind of lengths.

Something smells Jussie.

Where is china on this? The automation they are putting out is insane. Is that not translating to productivity?

A plurality of perfection and novel conception. Howl is a sattelite character in his own stories. And his prissy preening and general childish narcissism are on full display throughout. Really fun reads.

I read those at that age and reread a few recently as I was going to recommend them to my kids...

I was diagnosed but never followed up with my doctor because I didn't really have one in the area. Then left the area shortly after and landed in a job that I enjoyed so its less of an issue.

Someone is going to release a bunch of cats with tracking devices in Springfield and there is going to be mass devastation to the local bird population.

@kenwhite.bsky.social my disappointment to not see popehat commentary on the Disney parks dodging a wrongful death suit by saying the widow signed away his right to sue by getting a disney+ free trial is palpable.

Many warehouses find that they are allowed to pay people less to do the work than it would take to pay engineers to automate.

What are you doing USPS? I thought they just missed a truck or something not just randomly thrown on any outgoing truck.

As we chatted about the power electronics needed for the system, we heard a low whumpf followed by some turbulent flow noise and the tech said that was the sound of a brand new corvette escaping from the safety vent during a quench. I learned that Quench is a very bad word in MRI development.
