The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine is an echo chamber. Good luck finding nuanced debates about hot button issues on that touch screen. It’s just soda names and flavored syrups

Flipping the pinup calendar from July to August and August being a sexy cowboy is my favorite sitcom gag, only matched by "Steve Martin scoring the podcast intro live with a concertina" in Only Murders

Perfect industrial design. The padlock, the manufacturer's address being right on the front like an old Bridgeport milling machine

I mean, if that's the case I start to wonder why we have a human in the loop at all lol. I guess if you believe someone can be good at prompting but not finishing a complete thought. Which...

I'm most sympathetic to the "trying to sound professional in my non-native language(s)" use case but I don't want this thing to write my emails in Spanish either. Seems like i won't know what I said *and* i won't get any better at speaking Spanish!

I still think that the best way to communicate, human-to-human, is to include a kigo in every message... hardy mums in bloom

Believing that emails are our most precious work output seems... worryingly connected to some guys inventing the Trillion Dollar Email Generator and not in the right direction imo

I simply do not agree that "email replies" are such a sophisticated technology/magical incantation that you should pay $3000 a year(!) to have an always-on button to make sure yours are machine-perfect. Like what

Remembering when i was discussing the LL Bean catalog with @brittlepanel.bsky.social and I started googling "Grey Stewart" as if it was the name of this guy and not the plaid pattern

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."
