  1. Reminds me of getting lectured by Sweco on their integrated GIS drawing table in 2010 just as I'd quit, and look at how everybody can see these live projections, so you can have meetings, and how much computing power they had, and I shouldn't think any of us silly entrepreneurs would ever get something that advance. I've been told by an employee that I'm old-fashioned because I still have our GIS in a desktop for cooling and cheaper components. A desktop roughly 3x as powerful as their fancy table, which they still have today in 2023 because it cost so much money and who doesn't want to have a giant sunk-cost fallacy sitting in their office?

  3. But hey, at least you were taught more important things in school such as the Real Truth© that white people are evil, men in particular, and all advances in history were done by american black muslim transsexual women. 😉
