Personally, I prefer Coors Light.

My first thought when reading the OP was “Who the hell touches anything on a Friday evening? That sounds like a good way to end up working the entire weekend.”

Front page?

Nearly every time I ask ChatGPT a question about a well established tech stack, it’s responses are erroneous to the point of being useless. It frequently provides examples using fabricated, non-existent functionality and the code samples are awful.

What’s the point in getting AI to write code that I’m just going to have to completely rewrite?

Jubilation T. Cornpone is the name of a Confederate general from an old comic strip called Lil’ Abner. In the story line, he’s kind of like a local “hero” who was famous for his incompetence.

So, my death will most likely be from some outlandish yet predictable, self-inflicted blunder. Like Wyle E. Coyote sawing through the edge of the cliff he happens to be standing on.

Freud, which also makes Diablo, has quite a few good options. Go for something with less teeth (like a 24T) which will give a smooth cut without overloading the saw. The 113 should handle hardwoods over 3/4" just fine.

A bullet is technically not flying, it’s falling while traveling really fast with style…

My experience has been more like:

“We’ve scheduled the wedding. Not only have I not asked her out, but the [potential] bride is guaranteed to be completely turned off by the whole idea. I won’t know that because I’m not going to ask her opinion about anything until she ghosts me three weeks before the wedding.”

“Good boy.”

Since you’re already working in C#, an ASP.Net Core backed, with whatever database you prefer, will do what you want.

You could self host it, but I wouldn’t call that easy. There are plenty of cloud providers that can integrate with your preferred git repo and really streamline the build and deployment process. I run a few applications as “Apps” on Digital Ocean. Once you get it configured properly, deployments are quick and easy.

House. It’s my own space and I can customize it in any way I want.

Mini split is currently in the backlog. It will be closed as “not planned” three years from now.

Something for poor people to worry about.

I can think of two reasons.

First reason: because things can and probably will get much better. Joy in life comes from the little things. That sounds cliche but it’s true. If I could talk to my 14 year old self, who was severely depressed to the point of trying (and thankfully failing) to take his own life, I would tell him about the next 20-ish years. Even though much of it will be hard, it will still be good. And he will grow in ways and get to experience things that he can’t even begin to imagine. That’s one thing I’m glad he failed at.

Second reason: because believe it or not, you will leave a giant crater in the life of someone (or multiple someones) where you once existed. My great grandpa hung himself in 1929. That’s all I know about him aside from his name. I never met my grandpa (died of cancer) but I remember my dad telling me a little about the impact it had on his dad, who was about 15 at the time of his father suicide. Long story short, my grandpa basically stopped growing emotionally at 15. He was a teenager who was very suddenly thrust into the role of an adult.

I don’t know what was going on with my great grandpa that led him to take his own life. I do know that what he left behind was a disaster. Including three generations of trauma, manifesting itself as a cycle of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. He effectively destroyed his children who proceeded to pass that destruction all the way down to me.

If you’ve never watched Ted Lasso which I highly recommend, one of overarching themes is Ted’s difficulty dealing with his father’s suicide, which occured when Ted was 15. It’s a light hearted show overall but there are a few scenes that really hit right in the feels.

Even if you don’t have kids, there are people who’s lives will be permanently altered for the worse by your untimely death. Some will blame themselves, wondering what they could have done to prevent it.

That is one bullshit headline. Forbes keeping the AI pump and dump scheme going.

TLDR: People correctly discerned that written responses were from an “AI” chatbot slightly less often than they correctly discerned that responses were from a psychotherapist.

“AI” cannot replace a therapist and hasn’t “won” squat.

PM: “How long is developing this feature going to take?”

Me: “Due to all the refactoring that’s needed --which I’ve been repeatedly bringing up for two years – just to implement it, it’s going to take about 6 months.”

PM: “Is there any way you can have it ready for the release in two weeks?”

Me: “No.”

PM: Proceeds to tell everyone that it will be ready for the release in two weeks.
