The person who had the lengthy the explanation about cocaine and Coca-Cola was correct - it just wasn’t what I was talking about. I was referencing diet pills in the '50s that were made out of amphetamines (“momma’s little helpers”).

No, I think they did speed, not coke in the 50s. In the form of diet pills

Museum of flight has one you can go it (not just a TIL, but also in a museum!). It is pretty cool and worth checking out if you are in the area.

It absolutely was. It was tangential to my comment. Information I already had (which you could glean from my comment). And completely unnecessary.

Thanks for calling out the typo!

It absolutely is: Mansplaining is a colloquial term referring to a man condescendingly explaining something to someone, typically a woman, who already understands it, often in a way that assumes the other person’s ignorance. It was info I already had (which a reader could glean from my comment), did not require the explanation, and was tangential to my comment.

I don’t unpack my day very often with my husband - unless it was really stressful. The minutia of my work is completely unrelatable for him. I do want to unpack my work life with people who understand - and I have a great network for that. In contrast, I share almost all of the memes I think are funny with him because I want him to experience the same joy.

Thanks for the mansplaination! 😉

I would be silently praying they don’t tell me about it.

I think everyone wants to live in a world where it is socially acceptable to pop benzos and do cocaine (although I’m pretty sure it was speed back then, but I’d still take it).

Dumb question: wouldn’t working anywhere else be better? I think back on all of my jobs and I would rather work at McDonald’s than the one where I was paid $210k. Maybe there is something (even temporary) that can fill the gap while you find a better fit.

Forest fire in the rainforest is/should be pretty alarming - especially since they have not historically happened there.

Not sure. I was on a tour that saw the F150 lines.

They don’t even care if you finish!

Boeing has an awesome factory tour. So does Ford. Just buy tickets and for the day and time you want to attend.

Edit: here are some other interesting tours:

• chateau St Michelle winery
• grand Coulee Dam
• Amazon fulfillment center

I saw a mauve one yesterday. Could they start there?

Wait, what? Weren’t they asking for weapons so they weren’t all slaughtered? I’m not sure it was ever about winning. Where were you getting your info?

You absolutely should. Shaggy is another excellent choice. Or be that person who sings the Macarena.

I typically am obnoxious (think singing ALL 5 min and 12 seconds of bad company’s feel like making love in the most over the top way possible) and my friends heckle me. The heckling part is important.

Tacking onto this, if you can find AI prompt engineering courses, that might be a sellable service that few people offer in this moment. Does make you part of the larger AI problem (probably on par with owning a gas station or drycleaner), but if you can stomach it ethically, there’s a big market for it.
