I want... Treats...
having unwashed hair will have you believing shit like i can’t be saved
every day it's "I've been putting these tasks off for a week, they'll only take a few hours apiece, time to knock them out" and every day I remember just how long "a few hours" actually is
if I just work at maximum speed and accuracy for 12-16 uninterrupted hours I'll get it done by tomorrow like I promised
here's another idea for a poll! I think this will have some interesting results. this sentence is here to pad out this paragraph so people who don't read posts will be more likely to accidentally miss these instructions. if you're reading this, please select option eleven. here's another sentence to make this block of text look longer. anyway here's my fun poll idea!
try to create a normal (bell curve) distribution

Now, one might look at these numbers and be lead to believe that half of all tumblr users don't read posts. However, in the replies to this post you will find over a hundred users who will happily clarify to you that actually the reason why they voted the way they did isn't cause they didn't read the post but actually because they didn't bother to look at the words in the post and process them as language, a technique commonly referred to as reading the post.

“For example, if you’re trying to convince people to boycott a segregated store, your object is to convince them that boycotting the store will have a strategic effect, not that desegregation is morally important. For whatever reason, on a cognitive level human beings have a really hard time with this. Smucker cites an example of a Lefty roleplaying session where people were tasked with selling an action to people who agreed with them on principle but didn’t see the strategic merit of the action. Surprisingly, the sellers couldn’t make the conceptual switch to sell strategic merit: instead, they doubled down on THIS ISSUE IS IMPORTANT — even though it had been stressed to them that the people they were selling to bought into the importance of the issue. People react poorly to “this is important, so do WHATEVER I SAY”; they want to be convinced that what you’re proposing will work.”

Also from above:
“Bob Wing, a grassroots organizer, explains this nicely: “If winning feels impossible, then righteousness can seem like the next best thing.” But righteousness is not conducive to getting normies to join your team if your team cannot demonstrate ability to, at least sometimes, win. Nor does righteousness help you make real inroads with regular people.”
Somewhat related, my favorite comic strip of all time:
That is DIABOLICAL museum design, A++, no notes
Today at work a couple of apprentices were rotating rows of solar panels and unwittingly turned one row directly into a couple of metal posts that had been driven into the ground, shattering two panels.
And on the one hand I feel really bad for them, because they were clearly really upset and they kept apologizing even though it wasn't really their fault. (Who the fuck puts metal posts underneath a rotating solar panel?!)
On the other hand, I kind of can't stop laughing. They were so distraught! God, what must have gone through their minds when they heard the first crunch. This is SUCH a classic apprentice scenario, everyone in the trades has been there. Congrats on your rite of passage kiddos, you're gonna be telling this story to your apprentices one day
POV: You're about to have a really unfortunate conversation with your foreman

cognitive cocktails with chef claude part ii: apricot-mint cry for help
PLEASE let us know if you have any other ideas for Apricot Concoctions. the situation is fucking dire
2oz whiskey or similar (I used this NA substitute, it was fine?)
2 very ripe apricots (driveway-bruised is great)
3/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz simple syrup (Sphere’s used the lapsang souchong syrup, because It Was Theah)
Small handful of fresh mint, plus more for garnish (garnish optional)
Aggressively muddle the apricot in the cocktail shaker. Seriously. Demolish that thang.
Slap the mint.
Shake with ice, strain as much as you are able - Claude suggested double-straining, the second time with a fine mesh strainer. This will probably prevent tiny bits of mint from going in your glass, which is desirable.
Add garnish, if desired. You can slap this one too, I won’t kinkshame.
This doesn’t produce a very large drink, because apricots just aren’t a very juicy fruit. But it is good!
Sphere rating: Opus 4.8 out of Fable.

Me, adding 6 different engineers to an email "ok guys. We have 4 completely unrelated but interdependence service requests. Two need the module to be hot to measure the temp of some new hardware, the one I'm working on is at the point where we can heat everything up, but I see there is also a 4th where we have more hardware to swap out. And that might mess with the temp data collection from one of the other ones. What the faick are we doing next?"
The reply 10 min later "you forgot about the 5th service request"
The meeting with the gaggle of engineers:
30 min of why their work instructions make no goddamn sense and how to format things so we can effectively perform the work
Engineer: "can I have it in writing what your confused about in the procedure"
Sends them a document explaining how their test plan isn't even a procedure
I check the work request this morning
They have attached instructions on how to adjust the equipment for the test plans. The instructions are
Vague
Clarify very little
Include instructions for obsolete equipment that is currently not installed
I showed this to our local engineer.
I asked him "if this is their upgrade, how come they don't seem to know anything about it? Shouldn't they know what they want tested and how to test if if we don't have a existing test plan?"
His response
"this is not professional. I need to talk to their manager"
So now this project is going to sit until I get more clarification because this is one big cluster fuck now
They didn't get it
"did you not follow the test plan? I told you to use a stopwatch to time the motion"
Sir
sir
Your "instructions" are for the pneumatic actuator. The procedure you linked says to skip these timing measurements if we use a servo actuator
I can't make it any more clear that we did not work on your project because you don't know what your talking about
Your instructions say to adjust the timing by changing air pressure. Air pressure on what? The motor? The motor that is not connected to air? Because it is an electric motor?
Forgive me if I am questioning ALL of your instructions for this timing and validation steps because you keep referencing HARDWARE THAT WE DID NOT INSTALL
Fuuuuuuuk man
I had an entire chat where I was saying Manifold M when I meant to be saying Manifold W
Now they are going to think I don't know what I'm talking about
you have to forgive the printer because it's one of the most machine-ass machines we interact with on a day to day basis. that thing says kerchunk. hardly anything says kerchunk these days. you can't get mad at her when she kerchunks up a little.
Crazy that tech has gotten so bad that we're doing printer forgiveness now
It’s so funny to me that soccer games can end with a score of 0-0 like imagine going to see a soccer game and both teams just run around the field for 90 minutes doing absolutely nothing and nobody scores any points and at the end of the 90 minutes they’re like well. Guess that’s that. Great soccer game guys.
