Yeah my management was all gungho about exploiting AI to do all sorts of stuff.

Like read. Not generative AI crap, but read. They came to us and said quite literally: "how can we use something like ChatGPT and make it read."

I don't know who or how they convinced them to use something that wasn't generative AI, but it did convince me that managers think someone being convincing and confident is correct all the time.

Oh I haven't played that in a while. Looks like a bunch of updates

No, that's silly. You'll both be campers at "Liberty Rehabilitation Camp!"

No, that is not how the ccTLD is enforced by IANA. It has sole authority, and it is not automatic is any way. There have been a total of two retired domains, one in like 95 and km 2000.

They will not retire a domain under heavy use such as .io.

That means the British Indian Ocean Territory will cease to exist, along with the .io domain and countless websites.

That is most definitely not how it works.

I'm not.

It was sort of a joke. I'm not leaving windows for the price.

See below: I started my machine off with an XP Professional 64bit license (I didn't personally buy) in like 2006?

Because I kept the key for... Oh god 18 years, I always had the windows Pro versions. Windows 7 64 pro, Windows 8.1 Pro, and Windows 10 Pro.

A solar powered car that topped at 70mph would be ideal,

But goddamn, could you imagine just having one that topped at 30 MPh in a city? Infinite travel!

I had to do it, and got so goddamn frustrated with it, I just switch to using my PS5 controller. The Xboxes were the best, but no longer.

Oh yeah. Windows XP Professional 64 bit. Each "upgrade" used the same license and never really got screwy until 10. Won't go to 11.

Edit: Actually I don't think I even paid for that, I think it was an OEM license my dad got from his work.

Office 365. I hate it, but I don't need a windows PC to use it.

 
 

I'm talking like one person brought in all the money for a decade, then a divorce happens. Some of it makes sense - a house with mortgage, one spouse buys the other out of the house. Which is great, but if one spouse doesn't have the income to take a loan out to buy the other, does that mean that the spouse who does have the income has the choice to buy out or sell?

Similarly, things like 401ks and pensions I imagine you can't just take out half the cash in them and give that to their spouse. Or does that have to be a loan for the amounts in those plans?

Is it debt all the way down for both?

 
 

Let me set the stage: Newly single dad of a young kid. After COVID-19 I haven't done much outside of my home and taking care of my kid. I work full time-remote, and between the kiddo and leaving room for a hobby or taking care of the house, it seems like the only other thing I have time for is sleep.

The thing I know is that this is likely an issue with my anxiety and anxious attachment. The conclusion we've arrived at in therapy is that I gotta meet people. I apparently forgot, or don't know how to do that. Where to meet people. It's not a big city, but 200k-300k people in the county.

Maybe I'm looking for something of a strategy more than anything.

edit: thank you guys, I really appreciate it!
