  • Ouch! Tell her I’m sorry, and I’m sorry for you too. All the accountants I worked with did alot more than just reports. Not to mention that sounds great until the Ai says 2+4 =2*4 and now the company owes 20 billion on taxes…

    Plus in a lot of cases people don’t submit records in identical format, the number of excel workbooks I’ve seen where the data was on “sheet 2” for some unknown reason…

    Maybe its just me, I always provided raw data on sheet 1, analyzed data on sheet 2, and if needed complicated formulas on sheet 3. I would be willing to bet their Ai would break on that format.

    Yeah that video is infamous. Everything goes in the square hole. There are alot of other issues with qa though, mainly you can’t test everything. I’m not a tesla(company) / Elon fan but there was a video going around a few years ago of a tesla starting and stopping repeatedly, like slam on the brakes then accelerate, slam on brakes, accelerate… Repeat. The driver then raises the camera they filming with, the truck they were behind was carrying a bunch of traffic lights. Yeah this is a bad user experience, yes this would suck especially if you had somewhere you were supposed to be. That said I doubt any engineer at tesla, or you just now, thought “traffic lights need to be transported, what if we follow a truck full of them?” or website has a sign up form, it’s easy just a first name text box, last name text box, email address, submit button, cancel button. This is given to a junior web designer and they make it in an afternoon. Everything is great right? You might think the issue is some obscure rule about email addresses(which are many) but what if Madonna decides to sign up for your website? What should she put for her last name? So few qa would consider that. What other issues am I forgetting which most qa would also forget?

    Commonly that’s because people test for some results that should not occur but something totally random was never tested. Like yeah if you press jump your character increases it height and moves to the right. It is tested if your position is 0, or your position doesn’t exist or your position is the string “hello”. But what happens if you are running backwards and jump? The programmer and/or tester may not of considered that. Really basic example but you should get the idea



  • I 100% disagree. If I say “go back to your station, you cogswallow” that could be offensive. You should be offended by that. If I say “haha, you cogswallow, that’s an amazing painting” its no longer offensive. I am showing appreciation of your painting.

    What does cogswallow mean? I have no idea, I just made it up.

    I don’t know any other languages but if someone is insulting me in French or praising me in French I could tell the difference based on context and body language. Did they just catch me stealing an apple? Did they just watch a presentation I did with a smile on their face?

    Words are used to express an emotion. The emotion is what matters. Back decades ago retard wasn’t an offensive term, it was used to describe people with a specific condition. It was used because “imbecile” and “invalid” were seen as offensive. Yes, some people have severely limited mental capabilities. Sometimes combined with limited physical capabilities. We need a word to express I mean them. That could be “flogtrough”. I could offend you with that word or I could praise you. I just made it up.

    I will say in text communication like commonly used on the internet it’s hard to express context so people rely on previous context of usage of that word. If a person has been exposed to cogswallow or flogtrough previously, first get out of my brain, but seriously that impacts their interpretation of the word relative to given context.

    I was mostly joking in my response.

    That said you are mostly/kinda right. If person A hits a pedestrian, person b, then person b can sue person A’s insurance. Two major issues… The insurance can afford much better lawyers than person B and can afford to drag it out longer, resulting in person B not getting the compensation they should. Also person A has/will pay more in monthy charges than the insurance will likely ever pay out. That is why they make profit.

    It’s a loss for both parties to have insurance.





  • It’s even worse, if you buy “cold” rotisserie chicken (literally the same just not kept warm under heat lamps so you have to warm it up if you want it hot) it was $2.77 last time I bought one at Walmart.

    Why the price difference? Don’t know. It’s stored in the open cover “cold food storage” they use it which are probably similar cost to run as the heat lamps. That said for a chicken sandwich or chicken noodle soup such a better deal.


  • I would go longer on the clothes but otherwise good advice. Typically I figure 1 year. For example if OP is in the northern hemisphere, it’s winter and 2 months ago would be around Christmas time… He probably hasn’t worn any shorts and maybe not any short-sleeve shirts since then. That doesn’t mean he won’t wear them in 3 months when it’s warmer.

    Typically I try to make it a early December tradition, anything I haven’t worn in a year gets donated for needy families before the holidays. Everything else gets washed and hung up backwards. Next December if a piece is still backwards, it gets donated.


  • My mother was on a grand jury in NJ. It was every Tuesday and Thursday all day, plus 1.5 hour commute each way.

    She effectively lost her job over it. No, the company didn’t say that but she had the same responsibilities to accomplish in 24 hours vs 40 hours before and they fired her for “poor work performance” because she was unable to complete them.

    I think she got paid $12 a day to serve on the jury which didn’t even cover gas and she had to pay $5 a day to park. Technically she didn’t have to pay for parking as she could park on the street and pay a meter but the meter had to be repaid every 2 hours and they only got a 1 hour break for lunch around the 4 hour mark.

    She didn’t discuss any of the cases with me but I know there were multiple cases of csam and more than one case of fathers raping their children. The evidence was mostly photos and videos which the jury had to watch.
