> “You’re a senior engineer - why did fixing this take so long?”

Now add "Why can't you use/ask AI agents to fix it?" which is being shoved through your throat by management.

Obligatory r/fucknestle.

Nestle has a long history of doing lots of fucked up things. I try to use as few Nestle products as possible. I don't get why government can't regulate these companies which has a monopoly on everything you eat or drink[1]

F = m * a

Keeping constant acceleration, compare hummer against corolla. Hummer is going to squash pedestrians.

I would say electrifying your home would be a good first step. For example, we could replace following at home starting with:

Gas Furnace & AC -- Heat pump

Gas cooktop -- Electric cooktop

Gas Blowers, Mowers -- Electric versions of same

IMO being loyal is like being sweet, which will attract ants of all sort and suck all juices out of you. Sometimes, being bitter (saying NO) is an art.
