What do you think about what are your thoughts on AI?

How long until SpaceX technology is advanced enough to launch Elon into the sun?

And the author should be syphilitic and working in a drafty garret, at the very least.

You could, but I wouldn’t buy it. I want art that someone sweated, swore and agonised over.

They were WWII novels, so nothing scholarly.

So deep space is closer than the moon?

I did. My point is that this productivity tool hurts your productivity until you tinker with it to make it less annoying.

Sighing (a lot) and reminding myself that every time the 29th rolls around I get a three-day weekend.

I’ve never been able to tell.

At least in my work instance, by default it sends me an alert any time someone posts a reaction emoji in one of the dozen chat channels.

Same as we did last time. Strengthen our relationships and trade with friendly non-US countries.

There’s a space station sim from 2001 that I still play because I love it so much: Startopia. I’d like Startopia 2 to be pretty much the same as the original (including graphics) but with higher-poly models and better scripting tools for modders.

For-profit social media, certainly. I don’t trust it anymore. Astroturfing, data-harvesting, I feel like they’re all made to fuck us over in some way.

As a bookish child, I made weekly trips to the library. To get to the kids section I had to pass the large print shelf, and there was one book that was always there: The Spitting Image. The gargoyle on the cover scared me! But when I finally looked him straight in the eye I found that he was trying to look furious, but came across as a little goofy. That’s the way I imagine myself, too.

Moments I have truly known I was alive:

• Using the restroom after chopping chillies but before washing my hands

• Hearing my boss say “Can I talk to you in my office…?”

• Seeing the jerk who swerved around me doing three times the speed limit get stopped by a cop

• Playing with a kitten I had just adopted

I’ve watched anti-Nazi TV, read anti-Nazi books and sung along to anti-Nazi songs. But I think my all-time favourite has to be Surf Nazis Must Die.

They aren’t as tech savvy as millennials.

I’m GenX. If you ask my group of friends “who here has built their own PC from components?” every hand is going to go up. Including the teacher, the administrator and the financier.

Ask a group of Millennials who knows what the command line is for and see what reaction you get.

GenX is the generation that does tech support for its parents and its children.

The germ theory of disease was originally very unpopular with doctors who subscribed to the miasma theory of disease. The idea that a doctor should was their hands before tending to a patient was seen as insulting. Doctors were gentlemen! Their personal hygiene was beyond reproach!
