@simonsarris My mind was blown when a mover doordashed lunch. Dude vaporized more than an hour of wages because he didn't pack a sandwich.

@AgustinLebron3 How have you adapted interviewing given that ChatGPT 5.5 solves this in <90 seconds?

Is it still diagnostic of candidates to ask them in an AI-free context, or has the work changed to use AI in such a way that humans need different skills?

I miss the society that ended a politician’s career for misspelling potatoe. Those expectations of competence were good, actually.

@simonsarris A great car, one of the last available in manual

In all seriousness, batteries don’t like the cold, so you probably have to build a timber garage before going electric. For a family, one gas car for roadtrips and one electric for commuting make a lot of sense.

@Austen The hobbit has a really slow start; you have to first get them interested in magic and adventure, and then the first couple chapters aren't so boring.

If they’re not cool enough, I can always zip off the pant legs to make them shorts.
