That is a fantastic way to put it.

Forced conversion therapy is a problem. But it should be an option that people are free to choose.

Thank you. Actually things have started to improve just this week. It is too early to say if things will keep improving but I’m hopeful.

Well that’s a deal breaker for me.

I enjoy the people I work with. Plus it is great to have the flexibility to work from home when needed.

Great news if the deal doesn’t fall apart.

I was never into the superhero movies. In the 5 years prior to covid I went to see at least 14 movies in theaters.

Edit: and there were several more I wanted to go see but couldn’t get anyone else to watch with me.

In the last 5 years I’ve been to the theater once and that was to see Top Gun Maverick. There’s nothing compelling for me anymore and it makes me sad. I really enjoy going to watch a movie in the theater. At home it is just too easy to be distracted by everything around me. Going to the theater was a way to carve out time and shutout the world around me.

We’re doing this exact thing at work. We have to take everything from system A and map it to system B. We are writing stored procs to select everything from a table in the old system and insert the data into a temp table with the same schema as the new system. Once the data checks out we migrate it into our live database tables. Can confirm that doing this as bulk operations is much faster than looping through the rows.

My kids. They won’t go to sleep.

Exactly! This is going to be insidious. People are already forming attachments to their chat bots. Now imagine that the chat bots start slipping ads into their responses.

Maybe it is just a probe?
