I would be fine with PDFs exactly the same except Adobe doesn't exist and neither does Acrobat.
The Irishman. The fact that I lost 3 hours to that pointless slog is so painful I'd rather just forget all about it. I'll never get those 3 hours back, but at least the regret will be gone.
I HAVEN'T BEEN RUNNING WITH THE PACK FOR A BIT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DOING MY OWN THING BUT NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE I HOPE YOU ALL WELCOME ME BACK AWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
The same electric systems that just got recalled?
Actually getting a good ending to the ASOIAF after GRRM dies is gonna be one of the big turning points that transforms everyone's opinion on AI.
It's gonna be like fan edits for movies. People will debate which is the better version of the story. The only person hurt by this is George, who will be dead and was never going to finish the books anyways.
If they own shares, then they want the company to succeed. A better question is "why are they allowed to sell those shares until they quit?" And the answer to that question is that everyone with enough power to change this also enjoys the current system.

I shopped at gems n gems (website) while ring hunting. We're literally talking a dollar a gem, buy 50 or 100 if you want to make sure you get something you'll like. I ended up not going with that option because I'd end up needing a local jeweler and wasn't enthusiastic with my options, but still went synthetic from an online jeweler.
Just canceled Comcast after about 10 years. Recently moved, and after a month of difficulties getting my account transferred and losing my discounts I wanted to rollover due to salesman incompetence, I finally talked to someone who seemed ready to finish fixing everyone's mess. I end the call with a sigh of relief, only to get an email a few minutes later with the wrong address on my account. The idiot was helping two customers at once and mixed us up. After a few more days of long calls, someone sorts it out and decides to order me a streaming box I explicitly said I didn't want. Turns out, if you don't plug in the streaming box, they'll force you to return it, and if you don't return it, they bill you for the BOX THEY GAVE ME FOR FREE. I try to return it online, but I can't, in fact, the online portal says I have no equipment under my account. Why? Because the streaming box is still mixed up in an account I don't have at the other address. Whatever, I can cancel and move on with my life. Within two weeks of canceling, they sold my email to a bunch of scammers, and I know it was them because the email was unique for Comcast.

Kind of terrible that we ever got to this point. I've seen announcements from government agencies that are ONLY available on social media. Who thought that was okay?
There are other query languages. InfluxDB develops one called Flux. It's a master class on why corporate led open source can really suck. Daily use features get deprecated all the time and each new release is breaking. The documentation is horribly insufficient and the language syntax is usually not clear and it wraps many behaviors into one vague function name. Yes, SQL is pretty impressive.
