    It makes more sense when you’re comparing month to month development.

    If you have a perfectly normal child then it doesn’t matter to measure anything and you can call it whatever.

    However if you’re in a maternity group and all the other children started pointing at things at 13 months and yours doesn’t, then it might help to remember that yours was born prematurely and you can expect that behavior at 14 months.

    Now, you can convert numbers as much as you please, but this doesn’t make sense as 1.08 and 1.16 years. You can say one year and one month and one year and two months, but it does makes sense for everyone in the conversation if you use the conventional method of communication which is 13 and 14 months. Don’t even get me started on Tiger leaps. Those come on schedule by the week.

    It’s convention. If you go to a car mechanic to get new tires, you also don’t ask for “big wheels” if you want a 226/40R19.

    Dd you find out what it is?

    I’m pretty sure I’ve had or used one before, but I don’t remember where. The top part is for securing a strap or rubber band. As you can see from the wear it’s exposed during use, while the bottom is not. The stick has a shape that could be sown into something. My guess is that it is used to close a bag or securing a tarp to a trailer or the hood for a baby pram/stroller. Something to be used outdoors anyway.


  • the CEO has said that managers need to prove that AI can’t do a job if they want to increase headcount

    This is why it will fail. Instead of the CEO providing any kind of explanation for how AI could work, managers now need to waste their time arguing with the CEO why their stupid ideas won’t work.

    I have one manager who does this kind of reverse burden of proof all the time (unrelated to AI), and in the meantime we don’t get anything done of value of to the company.

    It’s like trying to push a door that says pull.
