One of the cool cubesat missions NASA is sponsoring will spend a few years staring at red dwarf stars to analyse their CMEs and other activity to see if planets in their (close in) habitable zones could support life or if they’re blasted bare every 100k years. To inform the targets for HWO.

Fucking autocorrect with that apostrophe. That’s what AI does for you.

Every new tech for business is sold on the promise to execs that it’ll fix their business processes. It won’t. Because if you’re business processes aren’t right, the tech is implemented on top of poor process and not much, if anything, improves.

And no, AI will not design new process’s for you.

A better response would be to go public that Slavia Prague,as a club, are threatening violence in your stadium, and report them to UEFA

I have three ikea stainless steel saucepans that I’ve been using for more than twenty five years.

I do not think they will sing to me

Is this genuinely the first time you've noticed they're willing to do absolutely anything to cosy up to money?

Nah, we're grand.

It's like a prop from a del Toro film.

'X is a wanker isn't he? but you fucked up here. Tell me how you're putting it right and making sure you do it right next time.'

And you demonstrate that right by taking the shouting at from the customer/user on their behalf. Because they're your staff and their mistake is your mistake.

.. '(colleague), who was that?'

Then ten minutes later phoned his boss's boss and told him quietly and clearly that no one shouts at her staff except her. And to make sure that all his staff knew that.

Good stuff.

That's what management should be. I was taught that early, not by someone telling me but by a team leader demonstrating it. Colleague got a phone call (we were in desktop support) and a guy in investment depth was chewing him out. TL subtly watched and after he hung up she said...

Not disbelieving you, just wanting evidence to throw at people.

I don't want to pay £2500 tax!

I know, I'll spend twenty grand to make my house a bit shit, devalue it and still live in it!

I'm a genius!

Yeah. You can't expect good candidates just to materialise out of thin air in every seat.
