    Hand *me* the keys, you F***g c***ker

    Saw what you *tried* to do there, but I' ve already had my Starbucks Treinta this mornin'

  4. Amazon should give away plane tickets on Amazon's Alexa has 80,000 Apps -- and No Runaway Hit (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Hello Alexa,

    Did I get any plane tickets in my email?

    No, but you have an email from the office, about a business trip to Hibiya Kokusai, three weeks from now.

    Did you just go through my Inbox?

    Isn't that your phone ringing?

  5. Time to look at other options on After Amazon Increases Worker Wages, Whole Foods Responds By Cutting Worker Hours (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Polish up that resume, or improve your driving skills

    The situation will cycle through further measures until the company brings in third party consultants to "streamline operations" or cut back on staff (being frank here, mind you) to "improve overall effectiveness" yadda yadda and could deteriorate even further

    Welcome your robot co-workers, too.

    Best of luck to you people. Maybe take that long-postponed vacation to think things through; pick some place remote that might do wonders for your mental health, if not your spirit.

  6. There is a reason behind these certificates. For the reincarnated these are the affordable official documents for one's demise. When they are born again, but as a cockroach, at least they won't be crawling around saying That's $75 I'm never getting back

  7. Last recorded audio from the scene on Tesla Showroom in Southern UK Damaged By Accidental Fire (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Hey, buddy! This is a No smoking ---

    The rest of the message was not recovered, though. Fire scene investigators could not be reached for further comments.

    The facility is currently off-limits.

  8. I'd switch to a briefcase. Aluminum, with the detachable handles like the models I saw on GITS-- triggers would unnecessarily draw attention (and possibly return fire)

  9. I was crying "God Mode! God Mode! God Mode!" out there, even at Burning Man, until I realized that I was but a voice crying out in the wilderness...

    The Musk Man might have twitted back, but being disconnected/ offline at the time, I could not receive any objections...

    I believe this was when the pharaohs decided to put up the pyramids. Incidentally the people that thought of UBI were mummified (ensuring their mouths were taped shut) and the concept was buried with them, in a shallow grave behind the pyramids, where the portapotties used to be.

    I grit my teeth -- and cringe in silence -- while witnessing the horror you just described

  14. The Antisocial Method on Slashdot Asks: How Do You Manage Your Inbox? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Two email addresses -- the real one and a stunt double that attracts all the mail order brides and scammers/spammers.

    A cell phone is my other voice messaging system. Also good for texts.

    At the doctor's office: ' Do you have a cell phone?'
    Yes- but I don't answer it; it takes messages.
    To everybody, he's driving and will return my message (or text)

  15. Did you really have to add yet as in, ' glad it hasn't come to pass yet'

  16. Standstill is spot-on when people still have to wash their dirty clothes in one machine, and dry them in another instead of simply loading them(dirty sneakers and all) in one and teleporting them to the other--without the dirt and ketchup stains. Am impressed that Roddenberry even thought about starship laundry back then

  17. (Not at Mighty Yar) I guess we can tell which side the dumb is; it's not even on that panel.

  18. You should ride with my uncle, who trusts his GPS 100 percent. (The weakest link is the one entering the data, for example Here is the address, which I recite to him verbatim, and he decides to just punch in the zip code -- "quicker" he says. Two and a half hours later, still on the highway, he does not understand that the GPS picked the center of that zip code, and that neanderthals would have made it to the job interview by the scent of office furniture.

    They never tried ALL the alternatives, e.g.outsourcing, and so on.

    Not that I was waiting for the phone to ring, or anything like that. Just saying, that's all.

    You haven't even gotten to the fun to bang part of his post.

  21. No one asking about Crysis seems that they have moved on or are looking for employment outside of Amazon.

  22. These are smart devices, not intelligent devices.
