I spend enough time going to the hardware store to buy random objects that I have thought about whether it would save money to just buy the store instead.
also then I could install a shop cat.

my friends: we're going to the hardware store, do you need anything?
me: probably, but I can't remember what, why don't you just get me one of everything?

I haven't really been following what's going on with Palantir, but I'm just gonna go ahead and reiterate my rule "never trust a white man with a manifesto".
@itgrrl @ricci also, this reminds me of a story I recently learned about and had been meaning to post about. Did you know that Margaret Hamilton used to bring her daughter to the lab when she was working nights and weekends, and let her play with the AGC simulator?
Her daughter crashed the simulator by accidentally invoking program 01 and resetting the guidance system to believe it was back on the launch pad.
Hamilton felt that was a pretty serious bug but was told "no, there's no way a trained astronaut would accidentally do that."
A trained astronaut did, in fact, do precisely that while Apollo 8 was on the way back from the moon.
She was allowed to fix it for Apollo 9.
@ricci genuinely surprised these guys don’t make one; would you settle for the pumpkin spice chemtrail controls?
