  • When that major drama unfolded with him getting booted then re-hired. It was super fucking obvious that it was all about the money, the data, and the salesmanship He is nothing but a fucking tech-bro. Part Theranos, part Musk, part SBF, part (whatever that pharma asshat was), and all fucking douchebag.

    AI is fucking snake oil and an excuse to scrape every bit of data like it’s collecting every skin cell dropping off of you.


  • For the love of God and all that is holy, do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT embed a table into Word, from an Excel file, and leave it linked.

    It gives you the option and it seems like it should work, so that when you update the Excel document, then later access the word document, it will update that embedded table with the new data in the linked Excel file.

    Nope. It will lock up Word, Excel, your fucking computer, even if you open in safe mode and delete that table, everything is fucked.

    Just delete the word doc, that Excel file, and start over without linking anything. It will be less frustrating.

    It might even be less frustrating to throw the whole computer away, quit your job, divorce your wife, move to another country, learn that language and start over from scratch.

    I mean it was that fucking annoying, trying to get access to that document, to even copy the text, and put in a fresh word doc.

    And Google/MS Help seems to think this problem does not exist.

    Except I’m the idiot that tries it the second time and the same thing happened. (For context, the first time was in college, the second time was years later, at my job. So, completely different settings, computers, versions, etc…)





  • So you are arguing that cost plus has been the way to go?

    When clearly Boeing’s performance has shown that they’ve been sucking at the tax payer teat for decades.

    Meanwhile SpaceX took on the risk of the development cost without using the tax payer as a bottomless ATM. They did it quicker AND cheaper.

    So yes, they have done it WORLDS better and you are a fucking idiot to argue otherwise.

    Musk aside (yes the man has proved himself to to be another narcissistic moron with more money than sense), but SpaceX did highlight the gluttony of the what the space industry has become.

    You CANNOT argue that any program can come close to SpaceX.

    You make a comment about that one program, (moon-whatever) that got cancelled, and while that sucks, it was because priorities changed. Both sides admitted to it and you are using it falsely as some sort of earmark of failure of the overall program.

    Yet you say the other guy is arguing in bad faith.

    Fuck Elon Musk, but you are kind of a douche too, to downplay what those engineers have done. They literally turned the industry upside down and here you are, talking shit.

    What the fuck have you done?
