It wasn’t the same as a handyman. The title “useful man” was for a servant who’d never actually serve the master.

Today it’d be a “runner” or some kind of “assistant to the assistant”

The colours of the text is pure art… Did he start with the top or bottom?

Only a true artist knows.

Yup. I’m going to ask you one question: Can you imagine how it feels to bite into a wooden tabletop?

The answer is yes, you can. Then ask yourself: How the fuck do you know that?

It’s bumbo chair, not a potty. Smells about the same though.

Also, if you’re a new parent: Don’t waste your money on this chair. While it feels safe and easy, it’s not a good position for an infant to be in. At that early age the back is not ready to support the weight of the upright body and it also hinders the child from developing motor skills.

Leaving the kid on the floor is a better option. Not joking.

I’ve been in your shoes many times. They know the drill.

It only feels deceiving if you let them believe that they have a chance if they really don’t. I always make sure that they are aware that the conversation is about them giving a non-binding offer. It’s then entirely up to them if they want to potentially waste their time.

I hope they used conditional formatting.

Make the font the same colour as the fill and it would be a pretty fun way to type in or calculate “cell art”.

I’d probably start much simpler. “Why do you think the earth is flat?”

Unfortunately arguments also don’t work very well. People only change their mind when their mind changes. They basically have to figure it out themselves. No amount of external arguments can ever do that.

The way to encourage people to change their minds is simply to question them until they start thinking about the topic, and then give them access to information.

How does the sun appear to someone wearing a VISOR?

… in go-carts.

Because in English it used to be called that before its independence in 1991. It’s now considered wrong and demeaning though.

A similar issue exists in other languages, so it’s also likely that the error repeatedly gets carried over when translated to English.

should be damned important to a society that cares about mental health and the safety of its citizens

Yeah … but also Las Vegas.

Eventually we will be too dumb to tell if it is smarter than us regardless of the tests that we invent.

Sure, tests are bad, but another option is that AI is simply better.

It’d better be. Why’d anyone want to create unintelligent artificial intelligence?

If this is a reference to the daylight savings time, then… I have no idea. It’s not the time to discuss that. Let’s see in October.

They wish.

It has improved?

I will be measuring it in meters. One. There you go.

And this why you don’t touch the thermostat.

Easy. Take a wire that is exactly 1 meter long. Form a circle from the wire. The circumference of that circle is 1 meter.
