I sure did. Before I even enter the store I’ve already drawn up a map in my head with a very clear path of exactly where I need to go. When my wife joins me, that map goes straight in the garbage bin.

My old keyboard had an identical problem to this. I would play games with my friends, and randomly it would just cut out for like 1 second. When it first started I thought it was just me getting old and fudging my key presses, but suddenly one day, I realised it was my office fridge that had turned on.

Fucking weakling

So? I get through checkout faster because I don’t have to wait behind old people who take a fucking eternity to find their wallet. For me it’s a win/win. It sucks that some people will lose their job to it, sure. But that’s what happens literally every single time society progresses. I’m also not sad about the manual telephone exchange lady losing her job.

They are quite a bit more efficient when you consider that there’s only 1 staffed register open, but 8 self checkouts open.

“sorry, we couldn’t reach you”

I’m not a coder by any means, but when updating the super fucking outdated excel files my old company used, I’d usually make a VBA script using an LLM. It wasn’t always perfect, but 99% of the time, it was waaaay faster than me doing it myself. Then again, the things that company insisted was done in Excel could easily have been done better with other software. But the reality is that my field is conservative as fuck, and if it worked for the boss in 1994, it has to work for me.

If my cat would exhaust itself trying to eat a fly, the tiger would most definately eat those frogs.

Before or after conception? The billboard is a bit unclear about that…
