The camera crew walked out over gun safety. I’m not seeing anything about the armorer yet, so I may have misremembered.

Too late for that, I suspect.

But most importantly, don’t hire scabs. The union armorer staff walked off the set of Rust due to repeated safety violations. Instead of fixing the issues, management hired unqualified scabs and continued.

Honestly, that’s a smart thing for AI companies to do. AI is surprisingly decent at extrapolating from existing codebases, but it’s useless at starting from scratch. If one model says “I can’t do that, Dave” and another spits out garbage, you’re getting the same amount of useful code out of both and a much better signal-to-noise ratio from the first.

That’s usually the case in the US as well. I think Mr. Weinersmith just took some creative liberties for the sake of the joke.

Oh, I wasn’t trying to rag on you. I just liked the image you put in my head.

Yes, but that’s not the point.

I’m not sure why you would get this over something like an RG35XX H, unless you never play PS1/N64/PSP/DC and care a great deal about build quality.

And it’ll be faster and double the size, plus two separate parts that come apart in your pocket.

“Still breathing”

“I’m here, aren’t I?” (usually used at work)

But don’t be stupid about it. Stash a date somewhere that you manually update every so often (so that it’ll stop being updated if you’re fired) and then add a bunch of random waits whose durations scale with the time since that date. If you’re worried that the code will be found, comment it with some bullshit about avoiding race conditions.

…and now I can’t use that idea, since this comment would be used in court. If I did it to a weapons manufacturer, they’d probably get the death penalty somehow.

Well South Africa outlawed apartheid, so they probably don’t want him back. Maybe Israel would take him?

Well, it is now. They’re running an i5-4460, though, so they probably didn’t buy the 580 recently.

Walgreens is in much worse shape than TRU was, though.

10, actually. 1-9 and an intermission with a different title.
