or... there is not and you're just paranoid

also, don't look behind you.

our species is fucked. especially when robots learn how to write their own history

...what

What are technology's motives for impregnating women? If technology needs more people, wouldn't it be in technology's best interest to refrain from suggesting suicide?

They're coming for you . . .

spontaneouscombustion, i was talking people, not technology... the ai thing is a separate crisis

I wonder, will the nanobots call the next day?

They would wait at least three days.

I just scrolled through your history until I reached Jan 2019 comments... then I figured I had scrolled far enough.

Far enough, indeed. How much drivel can one Canadian withstand?

Lots as we grew up on American TV

I took it up with the BGH a while ago over in the comments here: https://archinect.com/blog/article/49214439/archinect-s-new-account-settings-page. I still haven't figured out why it stops loading older comments at some point. I don't think the BGH has either ... nor do they care. YMMV

I still don’t have Ricky on ignore so I think my threshold
is high.

Almosthip, I grew up on French Canadian tv.... and the Simpson’s.

I clicked your history and it only goes as far as Ian 4 2020. this is on a tablet. on my phone it seems to go back to dec 21 2019

NS. I grew up in southern Ontario and got Detroit Fox Network

@citizen - what browser/operating system are you on? just tested this with a number of different accounts and can see all user's full comment history. for example, here's a screenshot showing comments from you, from 2014, after a few minutes of continuous scrolling: https://prnt.sc/qpahow

Ooooh, you can moderate me?

It was -42c this morning (-53 with windchill) if you don’t

Laugh at things you go crazy

Wow, my first re-tweeting. Thanks, Donna! =o]

only -23C here... but I was on site yesterday in the mud and +5C. On one of my projects, at this time last year, they had mobile cranes installed directly on the ice (St Laurence river)... this year, nothing.

Man, you guys are a sturdy bunch.

Oooooo, -29c today. No big deal, still don’t need my tuque. This mane won’t be tamed.

I went to Dairy Queen and got some ice cream, was only -32

Cookie dough blizzard?

Wait, -42 CELCIUS? That's not a real temperature, unless you're on Pluto or something, right? BRrrrrrr.

And Non that's just a screen snip. No moderating.

Don’t start again with Pluto... and yes, -40 is a thing.

Got a Caramel sundae

I've been out backpacking (for fun) in -40 F. That's when I lived in Northern Minnesota (Canada's slippers)

-40 is the point at which F and c cross each other (-40 is the same temperature, in both systems).

But it's only -1 F here today.

Yup. It's just COLD at that point, regardless of the units.

I've become a wimp living in a more temperate climate. Negative temps never use to be much of a problem for me as it was normal that we wouldn't get above 0 F for weeks at a time ... we never really got to -40 F though. Now I complain about it being too cold at +40 F.

Everyday, I'm the opposite. Grew up in Arizona and would put on a sweater at 70F. After living in the Midwest for 20 years I find 65F to be an ideal temp.

Ah, wind chill.

My mild-weather candy ass bows in humility to you frigid-climate studs and studlettes.

Studlettes . . . giggle.

that awkward moment when Celsius and Fahrenheit agree

you should move

Archlandia...nah they pay me pretty well to stay here

Awesome character name for climate-themed sci-fi thriller: 

Dr. Celsius Fahrenheit. She's cooool..... but hot!

Must be a damn good salary!

That's a solid acronym joke, b3ta.

This is so confusing! The pool water temperature and the pool room air temperature are measured in different ways?!

Correct. F is still very common for pools and cooking temps.

C for actual room/exterior temp unless you have an older thermostat.

Scrap 'em both and use kelvins. It’s 263k in Paradise today.

so... -10C Miles?  It's 253K here (-4F)

I like that idea. Sounds warmer

Wait until shit gets really cold and hits absolute zero.

With kelvins it's never below zero. T-shirts and bikinis for everyone!

You first in the bikini.

Nah man, nothing at all for the win.

Crazy Canadians, always showing off their berries.

Canadian blueberries.

I’ve got a pile of designing to do and no time to devote to it. Spent a whole 20min on a new office tower, then sprinkle a few hours over 2 weeks on 3 separate interior design jobs all while keeping every other fire tamed. So far I’m failing at all of these. Friday is a design day tomorrow, once I get site things out of the way and whatever else catches on fire in the next 12 hours.

As much as I'd like to (and half-plan to) venture out on my own at some point, the above post is a big reason why I might not.

I told some people to design stuff today

On the upside, this current project is so design-lite that I can focus my efforts on learning the ins & outs of project management. I'm doing okay.

Last week I was told I was getting a design project, albeit a deep industrial facility without much opportunity for innovation. Then I was told I was off the project. Then I was told I'm back on it, but the SE will be the lead designer and I am just there for exterior enclosure detailing...I'm still going to see how much design I can slip in surreptitiously.

That's the spirit!

It’s good. Makes a great read during your commute.

For those tough questions you have to call in the experts.

I typically use this bat signal.

If you subscribe to Malcolm Gladwell’s 10k hours rule, I’m sure Rick is an expert in pretending he’s an expert on all subjects.

Every dictionary definition of a word equals about 2,000 hours, right?

Non: you must have a much longer commute than me.

it's like sumo wrestling except the combatants substitute ignorance and inexperience for mass and technique.

"I'm just a little black rain cloud, hovering under the honey tree."

I laughed.

My 3y old would kill for that Winnie the Pooh thing.

is there an "existing Pooh to remain" note in there somewhere?

curtkram, one of my early jobs was doing themed retail interior design - I have written essentially that note on drawings.

Is that President Xi?

is NS harassing you?

No these are engineering plans.

Ah, mine will certainly come in on Monday then.

Looking forward to it!
