Unprofessional opinions and advice. WD40 for when it doesn’t move and should, duct tape for when it moves and shouldn’t. Not to be taken seriously, or orally.

I’ve also flown from Vancouver to Calgary lower than the tops of the Pacific and Rocky Mountains.

I’ve done it in a single engine Cessna…

OMFG!

Firstly, to be charter for that route it’s pretty much gotta be twin engine. Secondly, it’s gotta be IFR. Probably needs to be two crew. That makes it one expensive fucking chopper. That is so so so much more than a damn commercial flight. It’d be cheaper to charter a jet ffs.

I was like “dunno… maaaaybe”

Until the line “especially if you were born in the 1900s

I’ve had many names over millennia”

SOLD!

Clever plan.

I’m off work because of burnout. I’m broke. I’m getting divorced. I’m overweight and not healthy. (Those are all linked to the first point)

But I’ve got Elon beat in one area…

Good mate of mine just bought a Polestar 2, had it 2 weeks and so far he's loving it, zero regrets.

They're very interesting and cool cars! Here's to many happy miles!

Dear Algorithms,

I don't like Tesla, for many reasons.

That doesn't mean I'm anti-EV.

There's a big difference between thinking the CyberTruck is the biggest POS made since the Soviet Union collapsed, that indicators require a stalk, that DOGEJesus is Evil and hating EVs in general.

Love, K.

Everything is completely fucked.

All of it.

The whole “make it make sense!” moment is just an everything crash. With some segments completely failing. Even then I dunno.

Or WWIII. One of the two.

That’s more machine learning than LLM. LLMs are a party trick, machine learning has genuine scientific application.
