"But in 3-4 years the jobs will be pouring in! REALLY!"

You'll have to pry keyboard shortcuts from my cold, dead, decomposing hands!

Cmd-Tab, Cmd-W, and Cmd-H FTW!

Old scout friend of mine had two girls who both were in Explorers and both stood with him on top of Baldy. One went on to get hired as a ranger at Philmont for a couple of seasons.

Me: First time at Philmont was 2000 on an OA Trek, then twice more later as an adult leader. Amazing experiences.

I totally agree though with your opinion that we need to find a way to make interactions with chatbots NOT feel like a conversation with a sentient person.

Don't want an #uncannyValley girl. (sorry, couldn't resist)

So charisma equates to intelligence and accuracy?

I have finally found one place where AI is appropriate and useful. I use JetBrains' PhpStorm and they have recently added a line-based AI assisted autocomplete that is scarily good. I started a double nested loop to iterate through the pixels of an image and it completely wrote the second loop.

Venturing is still going strong. I did some high-adventure programs as a young-adult (Philmont 3x) but was never actually in Explorers so I always blank on their career focus.

@stevepopernack.bsky.social just informed me that the turkey is now the head of the FDA.

And the US has actually had co-ed Explorers (another branch of Scouting for slightly older youth) since 1971.

Zorhan told him to do it.

The limiting factor used to be the connection at your house but even with 1GB fiber at my house, I still feel your pain on WP interface refresh times.

Recently came across commandui.com that adds Spotlight like keyboard commands in WP and lets you skip a lot of page loads w/ keyboard shortcuts.

(should be)Mark Kelly: Bring it on!

Any fair court (I know, that's the operative word) will laugh this case out of the room.

He would have trouble following any of the 12 points of the Scout Law.

Scouts wouldn't touch him with a 12' tent pole.
