  • I hate how Via Rail is trying to call it “an inconvenience.”

    A train being 15 minutes late is an inconvenience. A train running out of the sandwich you like is an inconvenience. This was a complete lack of emergency planning and care for the passengers. The fact that a diabetic person has to be rescued off the train is appalling.

    There needs to be regulations brought in to stop any transportation business from being able to literally trap people like this all because they don’t want to pay to make it right.

    The business will always only do what’s best for them. They’re becoming less and less afraid of bad PR. So we need to make them care again with regulations, fines, and even criminal charges when it reaches that threshold.


















  • No one can run a marathon on their first try. What you’re trying to do isn’t easy or simple.

    You’re going to stumble and fall. You’re going to feel weak. And while they feel bad, they are also helping you build the strength to help you finish the marathon.

    Pick yourself up, and dust yourself off. Remember how you feel today. Use this memory to help you say no to the beer. Choose to drink something non-alcoholic instead. Virgin pina coladas and virgin mojitos are good this time of year.

    You are building the strength to stop drinking, even when you fail.



  • Minefield/mindfield indeed. It does seem inevitable that AI partners will continue to grow and evolve, eventually becoming physical. And I agree with the author that these AI should help people learn the skills to hold down a real relationship. I’m not certain it will work out that way for the majority though. Why give up what you have in the AI partner for the risks and challenges of a real partner?
