Finding a parking space for a F250 during GTC? I do not recommend.

"Never start a bombing campaign that will completely halt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz" is right up there with "never get involved in a land war in Asia” in terms of the classic blunders.

@discoposse Anything over 52C are hot regards and overdone

What is the optimal temperature for regards?
Asking for a friend who keeps getting emails that are sent with warm, warmest, and regular regards.

Humphrey Bogart had a documented system of internal controls in a gin joint in French Morocco in 1941
what's your excuse?

@DeepStorageNet @plankers Doesn’t take long before it becomes a disk measuring contest 😂
English
@dez_blanchfield @sjgadler That will entice me to spend more time in Barcelona. Tapas crawling is a social activity
English
@DeepStorageNet @sjgadler I am now most envious, and may have to pick up a little 2nd or 3rd floor place near you just so we can be neighbours ;-)

I really wanted to write something lighter this week.
Then the Pentagon demanded that Anthropic agree to power the mass surveillance of Americans. Or else.
Steven Adler@sjgadler
Seems like the admin wants _so badly_ to conduct mass surveillance on Americans, that they are willing to shout publicly about how mean Anthropic is for not letting them do it. Or maybe the admin wants to intimidate us into knowing we could be mass surveilled. Either seems bad
English
@dez_blanchfield @sjgadler Yes. I always love the first snowfall, but even with people to do the shoveling/plowing it gets to be too much. I got home to NH after a month in BCN and the show pile between my parking space and front door was 3 meters high.

@DeepStorageNet @sjgadler winter is something I "travel to places for" so I can "travel away from the cold" when I'm done skiiing for indulging in some "chilled out" photography or trekking.. ( chortle )

@dez_blanchfield @sjgadler Between Plaça del Sortidor and Placa de las Navas
Português
@DeepStorageNet @sjgadler awesome.. always love a quiet amble down Carrer de Blai.. indulging in some people watching.. and winding up my days with a "tapas crawl" around there ;-)
what side of Plaaa de les Navas are you on? I'm guessing you're near the Poble Sec metro station ( line 3 from memory )..

If we somehow end up putting a relative of the Shah back in charge of Iran think about how full circle this all goes:
We toppled the democratically elected regime in 1953 and put the shah in power.The Shah's policies lead to blowback which brings us the Islamic Republic in 1979.

@dez_blanchfield @sjgadler It was great avoiding most of the New Hampshire winter
English
@DeepStorageNet @sjgadler oh bugger.. I was serious, about just jumping on a plane this week and coming over for a visit and a week or two in my home away from home, I'm long over due dinner at Los Caracoles ;-)
English
@DeepStorageNet @sjgadler nice.. where in town ( BCN ) is it, just the area, don't post the full address here of course ;-)
English
@dez_blanchfield @sjgadler But I did buy an apt
English
@dez_blanchfield @sjgadler I was until last week, back in US for events for a little while now
English
@dez_blanchfield @sjgadler I’m going to wait it out in Barcelona- I am an urban guy
English
@DeepStorageNet @sjgadler I'm thinking of jumping on the yatch and sailing off to a small pacific island in the Solmons, and sitting on a beach under a cocoanut tree with my arse on the sand and feet in the water watching waves break over the reef as the tide comes and goes, to just "wait it out"..
English
@dez_blanchfield @sjgadler Sorry mate our crazy has at least 2 more years to run
English
@sjgadler can Merika please calm down and be normal, just for a while.. we're tired..

@CTOAdvisor Twain said ‘history doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme’ after enough good experience you recognize the meter

25 years in tech will make you jaded.
You start seeing the ending in the first act.
That’s exactly why I do the podcast.
Experience creates conviction.
Other voices create perspective.
If I only shared my patterns, you’d get conclusions.
Bringing in others?
You get context.

@plankers And I’ll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats

@loftwah I, Robot probably should be on the list.
I didn’t mind the latest Tron.
2001, with HAL
Her.
AI: Artificial Intelligence doesn’t get much love but I thought it was good, as a Pinocchio story.
Terminator 1 & 2, of course!
