They screw me. And by extension screwed my father. The last thing I did in person with him was tell him my plans. Everything I was doing. So he wouldn't worry. These corporate fucks ruined that. I don't even blame my employers. This affront is solely on the client's hands.

I bought Palladium boots like three days ago, wore them for a grand total of 10 hours, and the seam on the back is already loose.
Last pair lasted me 6 months of constant wear, I guess whoever bought them out is making the company even more efficient (tm) (r)

I really hate this trend of "buy out good shit cut costs to 0 milk it until people realize that another one of their favorites is now utter poopoop"

Sister's lizard has been sick for over a month, maybe even two.
I'm saying to her and my mum "She's had that discoloured patch for a while and suddenly stopped eating. Take her to a vet", they're like "She's just hibernating, they do that. Fine as long as they don't suddenly drop weight"
Flash forward a few weeks ago, lizard has lost a shit ton of weight. I'm constantly saying to them "Take it to a vet"

Several more weeks later, they finally take her to a vet last monday, 100 quid for the vet to go "Don't know whats wrong, inject her with these antibiotics and feed her this magic food"
Not four days later the fucker is dead.


Also my silly mother left the living room door open, so the dog's gotten upstairs and found the packet of bourbon cremes I bought yesterday - eaten the lot of them the greedy bitch.


Sad day.

It sounds as though the client is being damaged already. They couldn't afford you, so they're getting stuffed with a worse team for an inferior service (or product?) and if where you work has a grapevine between similar places, they could even be marking that company as hazardous to do business with amongst friends.

What do you work in? It sounds vaguely like software.
It's an ISP. The service is third party Technical support.

so due to my top incisors being thin due to acid digestion or whatever i dont really know how it happened i had to get the dentist to fix my shit up.

it involved structural reinforcement of the back of the front teeth using something i dont really know what but its probably a polymer. anyway, it feels weird and like it could fall off any moment and im fucking being super careful with eating everything even though i probably dont need to. the dentist also did a pretty poor job in making the two front incisors even on the back. the left one is thicker and actually goes to the bottom of the tooth whilst the right one ends just slightly before the bottom and doesnt feel as thick.

50 pounds per tooth for THIS???

i also nearly fucking chocked to death when he was putting the shit on my teeth due to his assistant not fucking scooping up the saliva that was being collected in my gob. you know when you swallow and it doesn't quite go right and you really want to cough but you're like in an exam or what have you and you don't want to make any noise but it REALLY, REALLY, fucking hurts and you REALLY REALLY need to cough to the point that it brings tears to your eyes?

yeah i had that for about half the fucking operation fuck my face

Point-of-sale terminals have a very very small active range, so you'd need to rub the backpack up to people's wallets and then still hope there aren't any other tags interfering. You could mess with the hardware to boost the power (which is extremely hard in itself but doable if you're really good), but a tag can detect when it is being read from a large range... Though not reliably so, especially the cheaper passive tags that are in bank cards.

But once a large number of people notice the strange transactions in their bank records and inform their bank, that bank will naturally launch an investigation. The money has to be transferred somewhere, after all.

You have blocker tags, which simulate a large number of tags at the same time to cause so much noise that no reader can read any tags on your body... or any other body within several dozen feet of you. You also have RFID proxies, which regulate all communications between your tags and any reader you want to use them on, but you need to 'register' all tags you want to use it with and those tags have to be designed to be used with a proxy. Finally there's the RFID Guardian, a project that was in development for a few years but has been postponed for now, which combined both of these into one device to provide your own personal RFID shield.

The technology exists for a large part and in theory it is possible. It just has to be actually developed.

I've come a long ways from asking how to switch hands.

Found out from my dad my mom's been drinking heavily as fuck and mixing ambient with it. My dad doesn't want me to but I'm thinking I might need to confront her about it. I've been down that road a few times with painkillers, booze, benzos, and ambient and the only place its ever lead me is a psyche ward after I tried to blow my brains out. I don't want to see her make the same mistakes I did.

Now while we joke about it and see many examples in fiction, the quest for Artificial Intelligence is a very real thing.

With how things are today we're reaching a point where we may finally discover how to create such a thing. However, as a layman, I've come to the conclusion that we may not be responsible enough as a species to have this new life and have it Not immediately want to kill us.

AI is probably one of the most dangerous things that we can develop and I hope, dear fucking LORD I hope that governments actually get their shit together and regulate it because right now it's the fucking wild west and anything and everything can and will happen.

Not until you apply for over 100, never hear anything back, and have your parents accuse you of not trying hard enough.

Then you become a fat alcoholic.

Just remember that metabolism slows down with age!

I'm starting to think that adulthood is a lie anyway, the kids just get bigger and get to make up the rules because who's going to stop them?
