I am saving my modem return receipt for this reason. I can see it coming: “you didn’t return it, $500000 charge!”

Come on! Wouldn’t you like 400 Mbps? You only have 1 Gbps, 400 is a way bigger number! Upload speed? Don’t ask about silly things like that, no one uploads files!

Oh, you wanted to use the web on a busy day? No you didn’t, we’re way oversold!

The worst part is, Spectrum call agents will just try to sell you on more stuff. When I signed up (no choice for internet where I was), they offered an introductory rate on their website for internet only, but forced you to call them to sign up. Of course, in calling, they insisted I get a package with internet + cable + streaming, and it took a while to negotiate just internet. I mentioned the offer, and made sure they promised I’d get the promotional rate.

Lo and behold, my first month bill happens and no promo rate to be seen. It took another phone call to fix that.

I just recently canceled - they demand your new address (for mail forwarding??), they want to know your internet/cable/phone there, etc. so they can try and convince you to transfer. And, if I know someone else moving in I can transfer to them so they get a promotional rate (I guarantee their new-customer first year rate would be cheaper).

The only part where they didn’t try upsell me was in returning their modem, which was pretty seamless (unless they try charge me for not returning it, I feel like they’d do that).

Oh, and of course I still get “hand-picked” “exclusive” offers “just for me” every day in my email.

And can easily be connected to monitors, keyboards, mice by one cable with a dock. This thing is literally a laptop with no screen…

you just gotta lock in… focus real hard and commit yourself to paying less rent…

what? thrown out, you say? clearly a lack of willpower.

Thank you to coming to our annual shareholder meeting. We welcome all human and AI shareholders.

This year, we’ve seen unprecedented growth in the number of times we’ve said “AI” on stage, largely driven by our investments in AI and our desire to talk about AI.

In Q3 alone, our CEO said “AI” over 400 times, contributing to explosive stock value growth.

Our Q4 was looking to be slowed down after our CEO lost his voice, limiting his ability to say “AI” a lot, but thanks to our AI capabilities, we used AI to generate an AI voice and AI video of our CEO saying “AI.” Thanks to AI, we’ve finished the year with a valuation 300x the start, according to our AI analyst.

Obstacles to continued growth include all words in the English language other than “AI.” Also, after saying “AI” enough, “AI” stops sounding like a word anymore. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AAAAIIIIII. That’s really weird. You know, that’s another advantage of AI presenters. They can say “AI” so many times and just keep going. It doesn’t affect them.

In the next year, our AI R&D efforts are focused on seeing if more voices saying “AI” at once has a larger impact on stock price. We’ve created an AI chorus to chant “AI” at our next presentation and are very excited to see the results.

I think it’s referring to a perceived position as global leader in positive climate action. That with the US losing any hope of effective climate regulation, China could choose a more climate-friendly direction. They can develop technology, and can implement it. China’s CO2 emissions are very significant (this BBC article claims 30% of global emissions), so if it takes aggressive action it could make a serious impact on global emissions.

Due to its global position, it could likely pressure allies or promote the adoption of Chinese green technologies.

I am not saying any of this will happen, but China is certainly not powerless. I do agree that other countries would still be an issue - countries with lax environmental regulations could be cheaper manufactures and divert global manufacturing, lessening the impact of any Chinese action.

6dof industrial robot arm that has been around forever and can do pretty much anything very, very repeatably:

“Helico” sounds like it could be a delightfully antiquated-sounding clipping of helicopter. Perhaps some Victorian gentleman is ushering you into the helico.

It would at least be interesting if one was writing a similar world, but wanted more unique language.

“Get in the 'pter” is a bit more clumsy though.

I can’t believe Tim Apple invented all those emojis himself!

The modern ones are cast, but last time I checked still require some force to break the slices off their central sprue / core. What were the older ones you’re referring to if they weren’t cast like that? Now I am curious lol.

Yep, it’s break-apart slices of chocolate. You knock it on a table and they separate. I used to like them, and either I can’t find the brand I used to get or my tastes have changed, because the ones I have tried in the past few years just aren’t good.

(I do like orange + chocolate still, in a chocolate bar!)

They just don’t do bank robberies like they used to…

… Good for that pilot? I’m more upset by people who make billions per year. The pilot makes his money doing his job, not screwing over everyone on earth.

Well… since “we” could be interpreted to include Billy Joel and the listener… that’s two more!

printed and mailed out… not everyone has internet!

sounds like the SharePoint one of my previous employers used. Now, SharePoint supports folders! but, using it through Teams, like everyone did, with tens of thousands of files haphazardly vomited onto it randomly, meant that Teams literally can’t load the file list fast enough. So, again all information goes there to die.

It was not nice.

wish my PC could do that… so cool…
