  1. An actual conversation I just had with a GP receptionist:

    "The earliest appointment we have is next Friday"
    "Sorry I am out of the country next week"
    "How about next Wednesday"
    "I will not be in the country"
    "How about tomorrow morning first thing?"

    Yet that was still better than having to call at 8am so I count myself lucky

    🤦 #facepalm

  3. usluck.com/877491/an-indian-co An Indian company that connects users to Astrologers, Psychics, Numerologists, Tarot, Palm Readers, etc. for on-demand “guidance” – is now valued at $1 Billion. #Facepalm

  4. For the second or third time, a package has automatically appeared in the DPD app allowing me to track it, update delivery details, etc. Which is great, except the package isn’t for me. I’m sure of this because the app is cheerfully showing me the name and home address of the recipient.

    Don’t use DPD.

  6. That feeling when you have to send an email out to the lab including the sentence “Speaking broadly, if a method is labeled TEST, it is not an approved method.” #Lab #Chemistry #Facepalm

  8. When you do:

    usermod -a -G libvrit bob

    ..the -a is very important. Saying this as a former member of the sudoers group.

  10. I am, unfortunately, once again reminded that "Let me explain your joke post to you" is:

    a) not what you were looking for in responses to your post, and

    b) sadly all too common in the fediverse.

  12. Artigos da Semana 318

    Hoje é dia dos pais e vocês deveriam me dar presentes, já que eu sou como um pai pra vocês: estou profundamente desapontado, tenho a certeza que falhei seriamente em ensinar algo, acho que vocês deveriam pedir coisas pras mães de vocês, que acho que são gostosas. Já que expliquei bem o caso, vamos ver o que foi postado ao longo da semana. […]

  14. usluck.com/874887/mom-says-i-d Mom says I do nothing around the house, so I stopped helping. She then gives me a list of all the stuff I need to do around the house, it’s the stuff I’ve been doing. #Facepalm

  15. ha, I was puzzled that my phone's battery died during the bike ride last night...

    looking at my photos I discovered that when I thought I took a 20-second video of us, what I actually did was start recording when I thought I was stopping recording, and proceeded to record 5 minutes of video in my pocket... until the battery gave out. 🤦🏼‍♂️

  17. usluck.com/874003/a-couple-of- A couple of ex-NBA players are “declaring” for the WNBA draft in an attempt to prove some ridiculous point. This MAGA theater is one of the dumbest damn things I have ever seen #Facepalm

  20. I just found a glaring error in a subheading on my website.

    That subheading has been there for years.

    My website advertises my editing services.

    And this, friends, is why we ask other people to proofread our work. We can't see our own writing clearly.

  21. Professor tosco que faz plágio usando IA toma pé na bunda e escreve renúncia com auxílio de IA

    O artigo de hoje não tem nada a ver com a série sobre o Apocalipse Tecnológico Moderno, mas é divertido mesmo assim, quando o feitiço vira contra o lacrador trapaceiro. Em tempos de IA generativa, com geral usando Gepeto, Cláudio, Gemini-Man e aquela tosqueira da Microsoft, tem gente que dobra aposta e e resolve apostar algo que nunca irá ser pego. É pego, apela para perseguição e se desculpa com uma cartinha, também gerada por IA, comprovando que além de trapaceiro é estúpido, como foi o caso do professor laureado de Cambridge que foi pego com a IA na botija, a boca no Gepeto, ou use lá a expressão que quiser. Mas sempre tem uma IA catando as cagadas que você faz com outras IA. Passando a perna robótica nos incautos, esta é a sua SEXTA INSANA! […]

  23. "Anthropic CEO Says His Employees Are a Bunch of Untrustworthy Rats"

    I think that goes for the executives as well.

  24. Im #UhleBlog:

    Hass wegen Instagram-Posts zum CSD?

    Bei Hass wogegen auch immer fallen eigentlich alle Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten aus. Es ist das schlechteste Mittel für die eigene Positionen. Mir ist zu Ohren gekommen, dass einer meiner Kontakte aus der Bloggerszene übel angefeindet wird. Weil er sich positiv zu einem Event wie dem Christopher Street Day äußert. Nein, das kommt nicht in seinem Blog vor, sondern auf Instagram. Und schon sind wir mal wieder ganz tief in der Jauchegrube. Und seiner Meinung nach handelt es sich um Anhänger der AFD. Als ob man das nicht ahnen konnte, oder?

  25. Gah - now the UK govt has managed to do it too... aisi.gov.uk/blog/incident-repo

    The crazy thing is they say they are working on:

    > surfacing potential risks before they reach the public

    Yet they then say:

    > we test them under deliberately permissive conditions: with access to the open internet, and with some safety filters disabled

    That's testing them ON the public, not BEFORE THEY REACH the public... 🤦

  26. 2 Stunden Frühschicht im Garten. Die Oma kommt und merkt nix. „Schau nur der Flieder ist weg, die Fichte zugeschnitten!“
    „Ahjo. Den Buchs kannst auch noch machen und den Blauregen. Und da hinten müsste auch noch was gemacht werden..“

  28. A company has come up with a concept robot designed for dangerous situations and search and rescue operations... a chainsaw wielding centaur.

    I like how they described the horns as a security feature.

  29. Heu... quelqu'un leur a dit qu'en fait #Ceuta c'est géographiquement en Afrique, et pas dans les Pyrénées ? #Facepalm . Mais sinon peut y avoir des Andorans qui essaient de rentrer en France, faut les choper ceux-là !!! :awesome:

  30. Erneute Blamage für die österreichische Justiz. Das Oberlandesgericht Wien hat keine Fluchtgefahr gesehen bei einem Mann, dem 8 Jahre Haft droht. Das Image der gutgläubigen supernaiven Staatsgewalt wurde gefestigt in den Herkunftsländern größerer Fluchtbewegungen.

    🤦‍♀️
