I don't drive much, maybe a total of 500 miles in one year, and my life has been a thousand times better for it.
But recently I've driven a few times and have discovered the shit scum Taxi Prius drivers. WTF is wrong with these assholes?!? Right on your tail, super angry, then darting (sometimes dangerously) around to get in front and then effectively got the exact same speed. Is there some mental defect between "Taxi Driver/Ride Share" and "Prius"?? 🧵 1/2
Like somebody could write a book, I'm sure, about this level of smooth brained, dipshit, caveman behavior that comes out of these societal leeches. It's disturbing.
Thoughts? Ideas? What's the deal with this oddball combo that makes this behavior so unbelievably consistent?! 🧵 2/2
I can't help but wonder how many hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths the United States of America has because of our absolutely horrendous, draconian, and laggard health insurance system?
Anybody ever write up something on that? Cuz it's easily gotta be in the thousands upon thousands year after year. If not outright hundreds of thousands.
a few more.
Last set. It’s been a week and a half. If only there was enough time to elaborate it’d be a grand adventure of a story to tell. 🧵
Well, I did like Cursor, but today’s news doesn’t actually bode well for that situation.
When you're managing the state of your database and its respective schema, do you...
1. Setup migrations and have a folder with files, etc, that manage each state (version) of the database schema over time for history or...
2. Have a singular or set of current state of DDL for the active database state and let source control (i.e. git or whatever) manage the over time history of the database schema?

Checked out Last Call in Frelard today.
It had a cool feel, decent vibe with some classic rock and metal.
Great Philly cheese, even with a wiz option.
Also had prominent glory hole juice 🧃 Don’t ask, I’ve no idea.
Also, no idea who Brian is but I guess fuck Brian. Sorry Brian, I didn’t make the rules. 🧵
What should be my morning tunes?

The differentiator you'll have to have to break out of the no no list is gonna have to be HUGE. 🧵 6/6
Especially in higher knowledge fields, this might work in some spaces, but I'm not going to have a verbal conversation with an AI about work I've done that has lots of nuance, specifics, details, and details it has no way to deal with. If you want to talk about it, a human should be talking to me about it. Otherwise just send an email or text message if you still want to be moderately annoying about it.

Do NOT have an AI call me about things and lie about it being an AI. You'll never hear form me again. This should be illegal and I'm sure it technically is if not outright. There might not be precedence but I'm betting there will be eventually.
2. Do NOT have an AI call me, even if it will admit it is an AI (at least 1 point for honesty I guess) if you could just send me an email or a basic check list of things you need to ask me. 🧵 2/6
Ok, I'm going to rant for a moment.
If you're setting up calls and sending an AI "person" to talk to me on the phone there are very few ways you don't get black listed/blocking/refusing business by me immediately. EVERYBODY else should start doing this too, it is unacceptable.
All of these are based on really basic rules of honorable human interactions: don't lie, don't deceive, and be kind, don't assume what other's are from or dealing with.

If you think you need to or MUST inject at AI call into a process like this, your process is likely SEVERELY broken already and you need other fixes before you start screwing it up more with a voice based AI call in the middle. Any type of *voice* interaction should be a secondary or tertiary method of interaction with other humans. 🧵 4/6
Remember, when you inject an AI bot or AI audio/verbal process into the mix you're DEHUMANIZING the process, decreasing by default the customer service aspect, removing the personal human element of your service, and overall breaking at least several of the previously stated rules of interaction - if not ALL of them.
Feel free to agree or disagree, but for the companies that have done this to me so far, you've lost me - likely forever. 🧵 5/6
A successful day trip to Portland is finished! Good times, good trip, much success! Even picked up some new shoes!
The idea that so many in the area also opt to NOT BE AUTO-DEPENDENT or to go low car or no car lifestyle brings to focus that this provides east side (Bellevue/Redmond) and west side (Seattle) folks a dramatically easier option to bike + train around the areas. It literally expands the options to get around car-free exponentially.
One single line.
One single connection.
Exponentially life changing for thousands and thousands! 🧵 3/3
The new light rail connecting the Seattle to Bellevue to Redmond areas is hands down one of the most magnificent light rail extensions in the northwestern United States. It's impressive in its architecture but also, even more so, in its value, usage, and magnitude of positive change it can and will bring to the region. 🧵 1/3
The previous auto-dependent option to get across the lakes were extremely limited once one gets into Seattle, providing only the proverbial "carbrain" interactions once one drives into Seattle and suffers the plight of parking their car. Some folks would venture forth on one of the many express buses, but those combined combined barely offer the capacity, comfort, smooth, seamless, or timely ride into the city like the Link light rail does. 🧵 2/3
