Mike Rowe: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code.”

“Well, AI is coming for the coders.”

“It’s not coming for the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians.”

“In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years—not hyperbole.”

“The BlueForge Alliance, who oversees our maritime industrial base—that’s 15,000 individual companies who are collectively charged with building and delivering nuclear-powered subs to the Navy … calls and says, we’re having a hell of a time finding tradespeople. Can you help?”

“I said, I don’t know, man … how many do you need? He says, 140,000.”

“These are our submarines. Things go hypersonic, a little sideways with China, Taiwan, our aircraft carriers are no longer the point of the spear. They’re vulnerable.”

“Our submarines matter, and these guys have a pinch point because they can’t find welders and electricians to get them built.”

“The automotive industry needs 80,000 collision repair and technicians.”

“Energy, I don’t even know what the number is, I hear 300,000, I hear 500,000.”

“There is a clear and present freakout going on right now. I’ve heard from six governors in the last six months. I’ve heard from the heads of major companies.”

@cardplayerlife Now we'll see whether Trump was serious in warning Iran that every missile fired from Yemen would be dealt with as if it had come directly from Iran. Sadly, I suspect that that was bluster without actual resolve. He wants the Iran issue to just go away and not be his to fix.

@spencemo_c Let's not tell them that hydraulics use "master" and "slave" units. They might lose their minds.

There's a flying security camera called Ring Always Home Cam.

The drone patrols the premises when everyone leaves, periodically returning to the base to recharge.

@SpencrGreenberg Maybe this is because I know she's not going to understand me anyway, so I don't devote attention to getting the words exactly right, to whether I'm sounding intelligent, to how my listener is reacting, etc. That leaves attentional space to just noticing my thoughts in detail.

[Poker Grump @PokerGrump]

@SpencrGreenberg "Other." Usually, I'm not aware of thinking first. But if I actually pay attention, I can always find that in fact the words form in my mind before they come out. Oddly, the effect is more noticeable when I'm talking to my cat instead of to other humans (1/)

@Mitzula ESPN is cable only, right? So not regulated by the FCC, which has authority only over broadcasts.

@spencemo_c If you're reading something written by a person whose voice you know well (say, Sam Harris), do you hear THAT voice when you're reading, or a generic/your voice?
