Considering that the US Mint can literally print money, I can’t think of any reason either. I guess it won’t affect inflation as much, but still mass selling it will increase the money supply available to the government.

When 01/01/1900 no longer becomes an option I’ll need to resort to my standby of 01/01/1970.

If I strained that hard, it’d cause a fart.

Now I gotta wait to get though work first today, just hope it flies by so I can get home to try this out.

Sounds like you should pursue a career at NIST so your hobby can align with a profession. They’re all about keeping track of time to extreme precision with atomic and optical clocks.

It’s super satisfying to shoot them with an arrow just as they are performing their wake up animation, causing them to lie back down dead again.

It helps when you’ve fed a few that you’ve made by hand to start in the same thread for it to use as an example (and format), along with one of your resumes. Then copy and paste the job description and have it generate a cover letter for you.

Keep it all in one massive thread, if it makes a mistake, correct it and tell it to apply those changes to future ones as well (in my case it kept saying I had over ten years of experience when in actually I just had ten, so I had to correct that behavior).

Since it’s an AI it will sometimes hallucinate, this usually happens if there are terms in the job description that aren’t in your resume… either have it regenerate (if it will take more than a few minutes to edit) or strip out the offending sentences. Some will need very little editing, especially if the job description closely aligns with what you have on your resume.

Oh and be polite because it now knows all your skills and can probably murder you in your sleep lol

ChatGPT Plus is likely, for many people, a “lifestyle product.” And the problem is that, when people lose their jobs or inflation hikes, these products are the first to get slashed from the household budget.

So I have a slightly different experience here. When I lost my job recently I actually ended up signing up for ChatGPT plus. I abused the ever living hell out of 4o to crank out tailored cover letters and matching resumes. I was able to roughly triple my job search productivity until I got a job three months later.

Was it worth it? For that timeframe (3 months, $60) hell yeah since the mental labor of handcrafting cover letters for each job listing is extremely taxing and takes some of the awfulness out of the entire job hunt.

How are they not getting the book thrown at them by Microsoft?

Here I present a little something I call a Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V

Appliances are super expensive. It doesn’t help that so many of them have planned obsolescence built in so they fail just after their warranty period.

One little thing I learned is that upper “tier” appliances that cost more share many of the same components as cheaper models. The fancy clothes washing machine might have a color touchscreen but the motors and control boards are the same, so you could save a lot of money by just getting the cheaper model with buttons rather than one that is capable of running Skyrim.

A good way to check is to look for maintenance manuals for these appliances. If you see parts lists that are shared between the more expensive and cheaper models, you’re better off going with the cheaper one.

drive an Uber or whatever, go off to find a cheap place to live and go to the beach for a year.

Shockingly tone-deaf.

When I was laid off, my savings were running very low after about 3 months until I was able to get another job.

Absolutely no way I would be able to take a year off to go to the beach. It’s like he doesn’t realize we all aren’t CEOs.

My dog once saw another dog kick up the ground after pooping to cover it. She now does it every single time, but didn’t learn it right so she ends up kicking up dirt randomly in other directions for a few seconds.

For me it’s DU. DU HAST. DU HAST MICH.

Or alternatively, Ich bin ein Berliner

Super difficult though, but very fun. I liked the spy character, forget his name though.

Those launchers are cancer for the Steam Deck. Even trying a Steam Deck verified game started like Star Wars Squadrons was more difficult than it needed to be with that extra layer of bullshit.

I’ve worked at companies where the documentation was either non-existent, not digitized, or very poor in quality. Add 10+ years to that when nobody is left at the company who worked on the original project and it can cause this exact level of frustration.
