My AI assistant tried to order 37 pizzas to my office in Austin

I was testing a new voice command integration with a food delivery API last Thursday, and my custom home assistant misheard 'please order a pizza' as 'please order thirty-seven pizzas'. The delivery guy showed up with a stack of boxes taller than he was, and my whole team had free lunch for three days. Has anyone else's project testing gone this hilariously off the rails?

Appreciation post: I started using a $5 USB data blocker for public charging stations after my phone got weirdly slow at the Denver airport.

It turns out the port was trying to sync data, not just charge, so now I always carry one and ask if anyone has a preferred brand that's held up.

I thought those new composite shoes were just a fad, but after seeing a client's draft horse go from lame to sound in a month, I'm a believer.

The owner showed me the vet's X-rays from before and after, and the difference in that big Percheron's coffin bone angle was undeniable, so what's the most convincing case you've seen for a new material or method?

Just realized a casual chat at a Chamber event changed my view on referrals

A contractor I met at the Edmonton Chamber mixer last month said, 'I stopped asking for them and started giving them without being asked.' It made me think my whole referral strategy was backwards. Anyone else flip their approach like that?

I think the 'Killer' Korean BBQ truck in Austin is just okay, honestly.

After waiting 45 minutes at a festival last month, the bulgogi was fine but the hype made me expect something that would change my life, so what's a truck that actually lives up to its reputation for you?

My boss told me my AI training data was 'too clean' and it made the model useless in real life.

My old commute was a 45 minute drive each way, now I take the bus

For years I drove my truck from my house to the office, burning gas every day. After seeing the local air quality reports get worse, I looked up the bus route last fall. It adds about 15 minutes to the trip, but I save a tank of gas each week. Some folks say public transit is unreliable, others say it's a key part of cutting emissions. What's your take on switching from a car for daily travel?

Caught a heated talk at the bar about fixing up old sites for visitors

Some folks say restoring ruins lets everyone enjoy them, while others think it ruins the authenticity, so what's your take?

Ngl, I found a way to stop vinyl planks from buckling near exterior walls.

Honestly, I was on a job last week where the vinyl flooring kept lifting near the patio door. Tbh, I realized the sun was heating that spot all day, so I started using a UV-resistant underlayment there. Has anyone else dealt with this, or am I overthinking it?

Wednesday at the comic shop means another canon debate

I secretly think these fights are a waste of time. We should just read the books and have fun.
