Thanks! That’s how I read it as a joke, but why not?

For yay ho would be too much though.

They fired their whole education wing when my startup was just starting to work with them (15 or something years ago). No warning just a month after starting a new project (early stem outreach type program), fired them all.

So I don’t feel bad for iRobot. Sucks for the employees though.

I’d love to hack into all F-150s and remap the maximum throttle opening to maybe 1/2. Also set speed limits to 70 maybe. Or add GPS based limits to keep the fuckers from basically drag racing down my narrow sidewalk less street.

Actually doing Rams is probably best, and remapping diesels to prevent coal rolling would be high on the list too.

All of Sigur Ros. Makes me want to move to Iceland and be confused all day long.

You’re right, and you’re pretty much describing the sunk cost fallacy as well.

They probably don’t save much money that way though. You stop have to keep the place warm enough and clean enough to prevent mold and frozen pipes. Many are in bigger buildings with cleaning, maintenance and security contracts.

I suspect as dumb as it is, the moronic managers still think micro-managing makes up for the 5-10% cost of employees there (might even be less in some offices). And as said before, they usually at best break even, while alienating the smarter employees who go find wfh jobs.

The leases are often very long term like 5-10 years. So they are locked into paying for the building or risk hurting the company’s credit lines. So in a sense, they have paid for the building use. Which I think was OP’s intent, since they mentioned the lease.

At 3-5 miles per hour too.

How do these handle on asphalt at 75mph; the overwhelming majority use case for Jeeps in the US

Give him Fugu served by a novice chef and it might feed him for the rest of his life.

SuperbOwl I’d going along nicely. The fungus one would probably do well with a dedicated kickstart.

I’ve been recently bingeing Look Mum No Computer’s rescue/re-build/midi-fication of an organ that had been shoehorned into an organist’s home, after the church had been converted. I’m more of an engineer than musician, but it’s amazing how much goes into the layering of sounds from so many different pipes.

My 6 yo loves learning with such a cool soundtrack too.

That’s amazing sounding! Worth the watts, even if I did get church ptsd listening to it.

I can’t tell if it’s a Dana Carvey skit, or not.
