@Punished_HIMBY @perrymetzger @deetvleet Why wouldn't any of these new jobs help to solve those problems? The whole point is to make things so cheap, and people so rich, that there is capacity to do it easily.

@Punished_HIMBY @perrymetzger @deetvleet Would you have said that as a hunter gatherer who couldn't imagine agriculture? Car mechanics and software engineers weren't imagined at one point. I suppose if you really can't imagine having more than you do...good for you?

@mcfarland72409 @perrymetzger Not my experience. There's code I don't care about and don't read, but when I do read it's mostly decent. And when it isn't how I'd do it I just spell out the design in more detail. I did get some bad Pyspark queries once but I explained the problem and it fixed them.

@jk_rowling That's not too of the range! This is: https://t.co/jyrWPxCQbt

@perrymetzger @EFFEXWH0RE @grok which book and which calculation?

[Rob Fisher @RobFisher]

@Punished_HIMBY @perrymetzger @deetvleet Work getting done benefits people, surely.

[Rob Fisher @RobFisher]

@NashEFoster @perrymetzger @jdegoes It behaves intelligently. The semantic gymnastics are useless.

@davepl1968 I remember this (and hadn't thought of it for years). It was very satisfying.

@nealasher I try to judge the art separately and not care about authors' worldviews, but there's always a concern that the rules of their imaginary worlds will conform to them: to that extent I understand OP. But I love Musk's optimistic vision of the future so sounds good to me!

@BurgerKing what just happened? Coffee machine was out of order so I ordered burger + fries and now I realise it cost me more than the meal deal!

[Rob Fisher @RobFisher]

@Tesco not you as well? How are people supposed to get this home in the rain? When did wrapping paper stop coming wrapped in plastic?

[Rob Fisher @RobFisher]

@waitrose how am I supposed to buy this? It's raining and you've removed the plastic wrapping.

[Rob Fisher @RobFisher]

@THORPEPARK please bring back some kind of ale to Camden Junction. Surely you've just disappointed a whole demographic of dads by restricting your range to fizzy lager!

@BBCRadio2 so if, when asked, how many days in March, I answer 28, that will be deemed correct?

@BBCGuernsey "accidentally threw away 23 AA batteries – which were inside children's toys...consequences of a battery fire"

Alkaline AA batteries in toys do not catch fire. The risk comes from lithium ion batteries. The fine should never have been applied and the mother should be refunded.

@EE Starlink cellular when? I'm considering moving to O2 to get this ;)

[Rob Fisher @RobFisher]

@LeShuttle_Help do I have to cancel and rebook my Flexiplus booking to take advantage of 26X2AVIOS promo code or can you do it retrospectively?

[Rob Fisher @RobFisher]

@Tolkienlegacy All right, who's chopping onions?

[Rob Fisher @RobFisher]

Update: item was out of stock (presumably due to a mis-count) so "available now" was either a bug or some operator error which will be reported to the relevant department.

[Rob Fisher @RobFisher]

So I went to the @BandQ to collect my item but they said they don't have it. And furthermore they're not expecting it and will refund me. What's going on there?
