Contrast that with several folders of CDs I still have which have begun to delaminate and are plastic trash now. CDs were largely an invention to allow record companies to resell back catalogs, and it worked.

70 years ago Miles Davis vibrates some air with his horn, which is translated into electricity by a microphone, which is translated through magnetic tape and eventually back into electricity and then back into vibrations on a disk. 70 years later I can take that disk and turn its vibrations back into electricity that moves the air on my living room. No encoding, no decoding, just air and electricity that my ancestors will be able to replay until the end of time.

That's as close to magic as anything humanity has ever come up with in my opinion.

- Jim Morrison

Edit: I forgot to mention the curiosity and humility they bring to our calls. If I point out another vendors approach to a problem that we have, they always lean in and want to help improve their offerings from our feedback. They know it's not enough just to "be Google".

I was going to talk to our google rep about their killing the Gemini cli but this is way more concerning.

The teacher stands in from of the class, but the lesson plan he can't recall.

The students eyes don't perceive the lies mounted on every fucking wall.

His composure is well kept.

I guess he fears playing the fool.

The complacent students sit and listen to that bullshit that he learned in school.

This lyric pops in my head a lot.

> Things that are not true: not every Louisiana lawyer is smart. Some of them are very dumb.

> You don’t have to speak 2 languages.

> Louisiana has a mixed jurisdiction, just like everywhere else in the United States. The difference is that common law relies on stare decisis, and Louisiana relies on the civil code as the basis for law.

> It is true that Louisiana originally took different parts of the law from historical bases that are uncommon for America. Our property law comes from the visigoths or something.

> However, the Napoleonic code did not actually arrive in Louisiana until two or three years after the civil code of Louisiana was officially adopted, so it is not based on Napoleon code, though that is frequently asserted.

> Almost all of the references to the “law firm hired by trucking companies” refer to my firm.

He's been telling me about this scammy former stunt woman attorney since before covid.
