#MissKittyPolitics From an #engineering perspective, from a #workflow and #efficiency perspective, #oil product #production is the ultimate #Rube #Goldberg. Smh. To put up with any baloney from oil executives about anything is ridiculous. Their process is killing the world and it is stupid AF.

💻😜 Intel's latest "Device #Modeling Language" is the tech equivalent of a #Rube #Goldberg machine, now on #GitHub - because nothing screams innovation like a convoluted new way to do what we could already do before. 🚀🤖 It's like they're trying to make coding as fun as a tax audit, now with extra security features to protect you from their own invention! 🙈🔒

"Der Satz, daß die gutgemalte Rübe besser sei als die schlechtgemalte Madonna, gehört bereits zum eisernen Bestand der modernen Ästhetik. Aber der Satz ist falsch; er müßte lauten: die gutgemalte Rübe ist ebenso gut wie die gutgemalte Madonna."

Delivery
The last time I bought something form guitar center’s website they gave me a delivery date, told me the package was out for delivery, and then didn’t deliver it. They did this two or three days in a row. When it finally arrived they had failed to pack the power cable and when I complained they asked why I needed it… it was a guitar amplifier… was I supposed to use it without power?
I had forgotten about all of that when, this weekend, I ordered a pedal from guitar center’s website. Today is the delivery day. It has been showing as out for delivery since 9:36am. The estimated delivery time says it should arrive between 11:30am and 2:30pm. It is now 2:47 and it has not been delivered yet.
Yeah, I should have known better. I’m never getting that (relatively) cheap little digital reverb pedal, am I. I’m an idiot. Just call me sucker.
ADDENDUM: I got an email notification saying the package was delivered. I guess all it took was me complaining about it on the internet. Heh, as if.
