The question I put to management is “What do you want me to use AI for?”
I can’t get a consistent answer. Lots of stuff unrelated to my job duties. “Well, it’s so easy to make Facebook ads!” - “You know that’s not a thing I do, right?”

Released to FBI custody.
Into the Heart of Borneo and In Trouble Again by Redmond O’Hanlon.

To be clear, O’Hanlon was a natural history book REVIEWER, before all this. His editor decided, in a fit of whimsy, to pack him up and send him to Borneo for two months.
"As a former academic and a natural history book reviewer I was astonished to discover, on being threatened with a two-month exile to the primary jungles of Borneo, just how fast a man can read.
Powerful as your scholarly instincts may be, there is no matching the strength of that irrational desire to find a means of keeping your head upon your shoulders; of retaining your frontal appendage in its accustomed place; of barring 1,700 different species of parasitic worm from your bloodstream and Wagler’s pit viper from just about anywhere; of removing small, black, wild-boar ticks from your crutch with minimum discomfort (you do it with Sellotape); of declining to wear a globulating necklace of leeches all day long; of sidestepping amoebic and basillary dysentery, yellow and blackwater and dengue fevers, malaria, cholera, typhoid, rabies, hepatitis, tuberculosis and the crocodile (thumbs in its eyes, if you have time, they say)."
The book is an absolute delight and when he survived, returned, and submitted it, his reward was to be sent to the Amazon for FOUR months.
He did a third book in the Congo which is not a light and friendly read. I’m glad I read it, but it’s absolutely horrifying on multiple levels.

His 4th book, Trawler, isn’t as morose as No Mercy, but it’s not light and friendly either. Basically “Deadliest Catch: The Book”.

I’ve said this for years… There was no “gaming crash”, people just started playing games on the C-64.


No, it didn’t. The wheels were cranked all the way over to the right, the agent was standing in front of the drivers side headlight, so when the car pulled forward, it was turning away from him.
We know this because only the first shot went through the windshield, the others went through the open drivers side window.

So as the vehicle turned away from him, and he was firing, one hit the very edge of the windshield, the others went through the open window, killing her.


You buy soccer flops too? The wheels were turned away from him and no contact was made.


The ICE agent was not hit by the car, you can see that in the footage he recorded himself. Why are you lying for them?


Yeah, we saw how that “worked” with the MS-13 guy.

That’s not true, she was told to leave, right up until shooter decided she shouldn’t.
Again, this is all ICE instigated, it’s not self defense.


The big one was the DHS post shortly after the shooting:



He did when he engaged the vehicle instead of allowing them to leave the scene when ordered.


I was waiting on actual identification of the victims. It wouldn’t have surprised me if CBP got the wrong ID.


Self-defense doesn’t exist when the position you are defending yourself from is one of your own creation.
There is no self-defense argument here.
You can’t cause an instigation, assault or kill someone, then claim self-defense. That’s not the way self-defense works.


It depends on what you mean by “assault rifle”. The “technically correct is the best kind of correct” definition is a semi-automatic rifle with a select fire switch capable of full auto, burst fire, and semi-auto.
Those are HEAVILY restricted at the Federal level. To be clear “restricted” doesn’t mean “illegal”. If you’re willing to jump through the correct hoops and pay the correct fees, you CAN get one, expect to spend upwards of $20,000 to $30,000 in the process.
Now, if you mean the knee-jerk definition of “black scary semi-automatic rifle” like an AR-15… The laws on that vary greatly state by state. The Supreme Court will likely have a national ruling on it this year. June is going to be fun because that’s when all their decisions get released.

States like California or Maryland? You’re going to have a bad day getting an AR-15. Texas? Yee-haw!

Aww, she’s beautiful!


Referencing a “final solution” is ALWAYS going to be problematic.

In this case, I pulled the comment, another mod outright banned them and based on the PM they sent me, that was 100% justified.
