Rather like the Watchmen television show.

Mel Brooks is 97, good luck!

Yeah, it'll never happen. Seen too many projects like this come and go over the decades.

Gemini can't do a lot more stuff than Bard can't do though.

Bard is also a crap name. Bard will be on killedbygoogle.com soon enough.

With the announcement of Gemini you have to think Bard's days are numbered.

My 19 year old stepson set his gmail address when he was 13. It contains the phrase "anal beads" and the number 420. He hates it when I bring it up.

The employee didn't put it there, but they sure do whip that thing around to let you use it fast enough though.

I bought beer last time I went through self checkout and of course it called some teenage girl over to check my ID; I'm pushing 60. I just said "No. I'm old enough to be your grandfather." She was fine with that.

Let's see what the earth thinks.

I'm old and cynical, but my opinion is that Trump will never go to prison. That is a pipe dream.

I'm 59; born in 1964. Unfortunately, I was born in the last year of the Boomers.

He has little choice - he keeps getting questions about Trump. He has to address's them.

Be glad he and Romney are fighting back, even if it is too little too late.

You're right, but but carry-out drinks are a big part of it too. If you're keeping disposable straws for those, you might as well use them in both places for the reason you cite.

That may be, but that absolutely will not fly if he does hurt someone.

Good, but saying you've sent letter bombs is a step too far. You're likely to get the FBI called on you out of spite nowadays.

My business doesn't test at all because I don't care what my employees do when they're not a work. I have no desire to get involved in their personal lives.

But just as with weed, If an employee told me that another employee was drinking on breaks and at lunch my hands are tied. I can't ignore it.

I don't drug test at my business, but if two of my long-term employees come to HR and flat-out tell me that another of their recently-hired coworkers is smoking at breaks and at lunch my hands are legally pretty tied.

I can't ignore it.

You're being so naive. I can't get involved in the personal lives of all of my employees, nor is it my place. I'm running a business, which from the sound of it you've never done. It takes a lot more effort than you seem to think. A lot.

Hell, in some ways it's not even legal for me to ask about an employee's personal life.

I treat my employees well. I have a chef on staff and they get a free lunch every day in a cafeteria. I pay competitively. I didn't lose a single employee through the pandemic and have employees that have been with my company for 10-20 years. It's a damn good place to work. Not every problem an employee has stems from a shit work environment.

Malignant task-master? Out of touch with reality? I know Leemy is anti-capitalism, but it may surprise you to learn that not every employer is rolling in profits and lighting cigars with 100 dollar bills. I work damn hard and have employees that have a higher take home pay than I do. Every day is a challenge.

I run a manufacturing business; you oversimplify.

Quite coincidentally my HR person came to me just an hour ago and told me that two people have complained of a coworker smoking on breaks and at lunch and being high on the job.

He drives a heavy forklift. Am I to ignore the situation? If I do I expose my employees to danger and my small business to lawsuits.

How are the employees that reported it supposed to react if I say "Whatever, that's his business."

To a large extent businesses have their hands tied by the rules and laws of society.
