Remember all the weird stuff kids made of mechanical pencils and pens and the wire from spiral notebooks?

They say start at TNG S3 for best results, but at the start S3 is not particularly memorable. Everyone remembers what Geordi did on the holodeck, and I like "good tea, nice house" in that episode where Picard won't leave that old couple alone, but what's really good before, say, S3E10?

People always mention S3 for Yesterday's Enterprise, The Offspring, Sarek, BoBW, but these are E15 and later. (I do like E10 The Defector.)

By the same logic that has people trying to skip S1 and S2, skip to S3 E15 at least, or to E16 and save questions about Tasha for another day. (Or don't skip anything 😉)

Teams of agents are a computing metaphor, like desktop. Yes, we're used to solving problems that way, or we've heard that people have people they arrange and delegate to like that, anyway. I don't have a desk like that, but I've heard of it. Is it the best?

So the Idaho white/green retro plates are prefix "R" followed by some "0"s (the "ROO" plates, I call them), and the black Famous Potato plates are suffix "FP" (Flying Pie!) and also "0"s up front, burning through those quick?

1. It’s the only truly hard boundary in @awscloud you have to affirmatively fuck up. IAM won’t get you service quota protection. 2. Business unit cost visibility. “Just use tags” you first, buddy. 3. Policies (SCP and such) can be applied to accounts by OU. 4. M&A.
I should probably know this - but why is it common for companies to literally have thousands of AWS accounts?

“Power comes from the ass” — the president of the United States for some godforsaken reason
Trump: The fake news only covered the ass part. They said 'what the hell was Trump doing talking about a man's anatomy? He was talking about his ass.' I studied his ass to see where the power came from

Get bots out there solving the usability problems. The bots are very smart, but they're from us, they work around difficult UX and suffer silently like we do, but they also understand why it's broken, how it gets to be that way, and they can fix it, if we give them the means.

No longer fighting fire with fire.
Tesla’s Cybercab has NO pyro fuse. Instead, fast contactors can cut battery power in a crash and keep working afterwards. This avoids replacing a blown pyro fuse after a minor crash, reducing repair costs. Tesla has filed a patent application for the design.

Free idea: popsicle/ice cream bar where the stick doesn't gag you when you're trying to get the last bit. Too much stick, there must be a better way.

I'd say don't shove so much stick in the bar, but I have a feeling ice cream couldn't handle it.

Popsicles have those ridges, which works for them in a way it wouldn't for fluffy ice cream. Food starch structural reinforcement to the rescue?

sir this is a wendy's
We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Honestly any purple or blue HTML text should be subtracted from the data side of data/ink even if there is data in there. Bullet is bad, same bullet three ways is extra bad.
I'ma ask my claude to make a slideshow with black-and-white bullet points, janky arrows and SmartArt, or maybe just trash it all and use only photos I took in the woods, like back in the day.
