According to the source, he didn’t saturate it.

I drive by something like that daily. Some days it does look like that, but it mostly looks like a regular manure field. Capturing it on camera is a matter of timing.

Not a hoopy frood.

This question is really wide. You’ll have to narrow down what the challenge really is.

Start by doing a mind map on a piece of paper.

You’ll need one for the product, but you’ll also need one for the business.

Once our have the entire idea spread out like that, you can start researching the things you don’t know or contact people who do know those specifics.

An office is usually divided in different departments that have different functions.

In no particular order, not exhaustive, and skipping management and IT, typical functions could be:

Customer service. Pick up the main phone line and check the official mail box, talk to customers, redirect calls to other departments.

Sales coordinators. Receive orders from customers, through sales representatives or by web etc. They basically ensure that all incoming orders have the proper data to be processed. Keeps track of order confirmations and maybe send data back to the customers.

Logistics. Arrange shipments from suppliers, to customers and between stock locations. Files all documents for toll and tariffs.

Debtor controllers. Keeps track of customer payments, outgoing invoices, payment plans, sending reminders and debt collection.

Creditor controllers. Register incoming invoices. Get approvals from whoever ordered it and pays the bills on time or whenever it makes most sense for discounts and such.

Finance controllers. Keeps track of the entire balance sheet. Bank reconciliations, cash flow, investments, files and pays taxes. General bookkeeping that doesn’t fit in the other departments. Does the financial statements, reporting, monthly, quarterly or annually.

Purchasing, HR/Payroll and PR/marketing are self-explanatory I think.

All of these administrative functions are necessary in most companies, but in smaller companies it all could very well be done by a single person, while in large companies they might have several people in each department.

Many companies have several subsidiaries or other constructions, so tasks or functions can also be spread out like that. For instance, I can be the creditor department in one company while also doing finance in another or payroll in a third. So while the functions are somewhat strictly defined by the tasks, it’s only in very large companies that someone does just one function.

All office functions are constantly being made more efficient. A lot of it is truly boring, so it’s in everyone’s interest to automate as much as possible. I don’t feel sorry for someone losing their office job to an algorithm, no, I’m happy for them not having to do it anymore.

It’s not a stupid question. When I was interviewing for my first office job back in 2001, I literally asked if they could show me what I had to do.

Seing someone who entered data into a program, I asked if that’s it? You really want me to just enter data into that program? OK, I can do that. And so I was hired to put numbers into boxes on the screen and have been doing that ever since. Not the same program of course. I’ve been around all departments by now and spend most of my work time working on avoiding typing numbers into boxes.

For text, I suppose it’s similar to writring nonsense in background color instead of spaces or by using an invisible font. AI could probably figure it out and filter it.

The reason it works for music is that AI doesn’t really understand the “grammar” of music, so it just treats it like an image.

Speaking of books, my only experience with Linux in the 90s was seeing the Red Hat books. I don’t know anyone who actually made it work.

Something that people often forget: Contact the embassy in the country.

They know all the stuff, have networks and can send you in the right direction. It might cost something if they need to do any kind paperwork, but in my experience they’ll gladly give you contact info for free to someone who can help you.

Everything is a table if you’re brave enough.

There’s congestion in German cities too. The point isn’t to drive away. During rettungsgasse, nobody goes anywhere. They just make way by stopping to the sides.

The problem in NY is that the cars are too big for the lanes to do that.

If you have kids, try cutting sticks of cucumber and carrots. Serve them in a bowl next to a bowl of candy. See which gets eaten first.

When Reddit changed the layout (new/old) some ten years ago, I started using a 3rd party app, because “new reddit” was everything that I hated about other sites. I stopped using it when they killed 3rd party apps, but that was really just the final nail in the coffin anyway. It was rotten to the core long before that.

The Milky Way is visible. It’s estimated that approximately 6 new stars are formed in the Milky every year.

Unpredictable things happen at that speed.

Forget about braking distance. The reaction time is the difference between life and dying before you even know it.

I know of one example where a motorcyclist killed himself that way. Nobody knows how fast he was going but it’s assumed above 250 km/h, on a regular highway. Down the road is a cross section. A lorry was fully stopped at the crossing and preparing to turn right onto the highway in the same direction as the motorcycle. The lorry driver checked both directions and saw that the road was completely clear as far as the eye could see, hundreds of meters.

A split second later he heard a bump and pulled over to check if he had hit an animal or something. He found a massive hole in the back and the debris from a motorcycle. There was no brake marks or anything indicating that the motorcycle had even attempted to brake or steer around. The theory is that the motorcyclist might have glimpsed at the speedometer or something for long enough that he drove the entire visible distance before being able to even react.

Obviously he was a fault himself, but the point is that at speeds like this, you no longer have any capability to predict what happens next.

If your friend thinks that cool, he might as well play Russian roulette. At least that doesn’t put innocent people in danger.

Two. The last part of centaur is tau-or.

Similarly, “dinosaur” is pronounced dino-sour, and not as dino-saw.

Maybe n Roblox. I haven’t bothered trying the games, but I know Adopt Me started as something like that.
