@ZaneSelvans Man, “happy endings” ain’t what they used to be

@ai6yr I still don't see how anyone who has ever worked with real data would believe for a second that these things can do what humans do all day long in their jobs: Make sense of the shit other humans have done (or not done as it were).

My intern today, in his second day on the job discovered a dozen issues in our data so severe he is going to have visit the property addresses in person to figure out what reality is. Something I suspected would be true, but didn't have the personnel available to look into until now.

Anyone who believes these automated systems can work has no idea what a severely under resourced state the ROIificiation of the US (literally the entire country) has pushed the country to for decades.

@dantheclamman Congratulations! I trust the reception will look something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhSSgWmfFk0

Our way of life is being burned to the ground and the media is calling it like it’s a sporting event rather than documenting the crime.
@bjn 😜 Cheers. And would you believe I still haven't used them all?! I have a couple in reserve, just in case. (I also had a wicked earworm, for months.) Glad you enjoyed that episode. The sixth and final episode in the Oz miniseries drops June 4.
@tor_haxson Being of the botanically inclined sort, I think you would like Muir Woods. It’s one of my favorite places. And you don’t even need to make a reservation and deal with the crowds of tourons at the main entrance. You can park along the road near the Mountain Home Inn and take the trail down into the valley.
