I've been using it since the execs at my job have been pushing engineering hard to pick it up. Like any tool, it's useful sometimes but not all the time.

The line-by-line recommendations are generally helpful and it's great at small tasks such as writing shell scripts or generating boilerplate for a new project. It almost never gets anything right the first time, and you have to keep telling it that it's wrong for it to fix all of the problems.

For fun, I did ask it to fix something with my codebase that genuinely had me stumped. It came up with a very convincing solution, but it didn't work at all. So yeah, it tends to fall flat for hard problems.

For all the AI hold-outs here, please be aware that Copilot Enterprise provides very granular details of Copilot usage per user to your leaders. i wouldn't put it past any company to factor that into the next layoff decision when it comes time.

I once drove 6 hours (3 to get there and 3 to get back) to turn a printer off and then on again for a customer who refused to touch it at all.

I even told him I'd charge him the emergency rate and for a minimum of 8 hours. He was undeterred. It was easy money, but that day trip SUCKED.

Probably a silly question, but have you tried listening to classical music? If you only care for piano, you can find a lot of competitions intended for solo piano.

I've found that a lot of stuff listed on Amazon is about the price of shipping higher than it is on eBay I guess to account for the free Prime shipping. If you don't have Prime, there really isn't much reason to not use eBay since you'd be getting doubly screwed without the free shipping on Amazon.

"If I have to crack open your nuts, I will!"

Same, except from the pipe for me. A nice high quality tobacco from my favorite pipe really hits the spot sometimes, plus it makes me feel classy as hell.

Hot take: AITA (and even moreso those "Reddit Stories" channels on TikTok and YouTube) is just The Jerry Springer Show for Gen Z.

Oh believe me, even though I thought it was a good read, I have a lot of criticism for the story. God forbid literally any kind of emergency happens and additional fuel is needed to avoid catastrophe. I get wanting to maximize space for supplies, but the risk far outweighs the benefits of operating on such tight margins.

!Yes. She goes willingly after learning her brother is on the colony that the pilot is sent to bring supplies to. The pilot allows her one last video call to him before she is jettisoned.!<

Wait, isn't Dr. Frink married?

I can tell you from experience that there's a 90% chance she absolutely was trying to draw you in to sell you something

Does it taste like spam? Where did you find it at? I'm not even sure I've seen this at specialty stores around here.
