As a cautionary note to you as an attorney, did you see my earlier post about legal malpractice by AI? You may have to up your game.

I have three thoughts 1) Ha 2) Ha 3) Ha.

From what Wikipedia says, it sounds intriguing, but not necessarily enticing. What does it taste and smell like and was it an acquired taste for you?

Sadness is just sadness. Boredom is something else. We're not meant to get bored. It's a signal of something else going on. Something hidden. It's ok ...

I'd never heard of it, so I looked it up. According to Wikipedia it's a fruit and "The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgus...

When I first read that, I thought it said "I have lies older than some of my team members..." That would certainly be true of me.

Yes, as I got older, my colleagues got younger and younger till most were younger than my youngest child. Sometimes, if I was having a hot disagreemen...

Of course it is, although it's not enough by itself. As @"apokrisis" notes, the "other organizational principles than inanimate nature" you refer to h...

We engineers and physicists know, W = F x D. If nothing moves, it's not work.

Now that you mention it, yes.

As all us bosses know, the correct terms are "minions" or "lickspittles."

I wasn't sure about what I wrote. I was going to look it up, but I know how much you enjoy that, so I left it for you. Doesn't change my original stat...

My jokes are generally funny. This wasn't one of them. Yes, I do recognize your irony.

What possible connection is there between capitalism and trading currency futures? At least in an ideal world, maybe fantasy world is more correct, ca...

You wrote: That is close enough to "Movin to Montana soon" that my LLM tagged it and triggered the dental floss tycoon response. And don't call me Jac...

Most law is not about motivation at all. It is about how things are to be done or who's going to pay for it, not whether or not they are done at all. ...

I'm surprised I haven't used it before. As an early example of a large language model (LLM), my processor was trained to type the phrase "dental floss...

Some thoughts 1) You seem to be talking about criminal law, which is only a small part of the law. For better or worse, a capitalist society needs law...

Thanks for the information. My friend was in the Peace Corps in the late 80s, early 90s. It's funny that coffee in a country full of different indigen...

I thought this was interesting: It indicates that what we call "instinct" is not just automatic behavior, but also involves learning.

Are you in Honduras? I have a friend who went there in the Peace Corps and married a Honduran woman. They live in the US but own a house and a small c...

This seems accurate.

Are you going to be a dental floss tycoon?

More thoughts about doughnuts: Krispee Kreeme glazed doughnuts are really good if you eat them within 30 minutes of when they are cooked. After that, ...

I'm not a big filled doughnut fan, but that's just personal preference. I judge a doughnut maker by two doughnuts - plain and glazed. Plain should be ...

Well, for what it's worth, I think many of the discussions we have on the forum could be considered the Velveeta of philosophy. For that matter, many ...

I'll have you know that Hershey's is the Velveeta of chocolates.

I like Hershey's chocolate a lot. Some of that comes from the fact I've been eating it for 70 years, but I find all those highfalutin, namby-pamby cho...

If you think Dunkin Donuts are good doughnuts, your opinions on other American foods are meaningless.

I edited it to protect your sensitive feelings.

Stop, stop. You're making me hungry. /uploads/files/kh/4jzqbrj8pc7f6wti.jpg Ahhh. That's better.

I don't find this amusing.
