That's really easy though. And without getting plastered. Just start at about 5 or 6 and have one drink an hour. Then, with a bit of self-control and go to bed before 1 in the morning and you've 2 hours to spare.

Spain is in UTC or UTC+1. I'm on UTC-8. 11AM for Spain is 3AM for me, making it easy for me to have a not-too-crazy evening and still be in bed before 11AM UTC.

For a person.

He's saying having a six-pack in the morning isn't challenging. Which it isn't. But AI can't get drunk, which is the aim of drinking beer, which males the joke.

Him explaining and me now over-explaining it makes it worse. Sorry.

I was also making a timezone joke :D

Ai will never grow into a Sr. Software Developer they will just code worse than the worst developer at your company. Unless they magically learn how to design good architecture, they won't replace people in the long term. They are currently just creating more work overall by giving people the ability to create quick and dirty bad code. I inherited a tool vibe coded by a Jr. that will take me twice as long to fix it as it did to for them to make it. I am trying to convince my boss to let me throw it away and start fresh because it will save time but it is a hard sell.

Can AI do balconing?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 14 hours ago

Critical support for AI if they actually manage to replace British people

Don't just limit yourself to Spain though!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Please don't come to Spain for that. We have too many people coming for that and they bring more bad than good :(

I'm thinking of moving to Spain. Are locals ok with immigrants?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

The answer depends on a LOT of things. Most importantly country of origin.

If you're from Latin America, most people won't even notice. Since we already have huge amount of Latin American immigrants, so we are used to it.

If you're from a "white" country, it's very important that you are respectful to the local culture and try to genuinely learn Spanish. This is mostly a problem with tourists instead of immigrants, but most Spaniards hate with passion when foreigners complain about things not being in English/German/french/whatever.

If you're from a "black" country, it depends on where you move to. In some parts of Spain you'll inevitably face a lot of racism. In others, you'll find groups of people that will try to protect you. But as always, there's always at least some racists.

And of course, don't do crime. But that goes for locals too.

And I think this is a global advice. But people will instantly judge if you are lazy or hard-working. If you help your local community without asking much in return, people will probably talk about how hard working you are, and even racists will probably say "for being for country X, he's a nice guy".

I'd say xenophobes are a reality but fortunately a minority and their xenophobia is generally low intensity. YMMV if you are poorer and/or darker, but I think in general you'll be welcome if you are coming to stay, specially if you make an effort to learn the language. If the place you want to go has a regional language (Galician, Catalan, Basque, Asturian...) nothing gets to most locals' hearts quicker than a foreigner learning that too (and the regional governments normally offer free courses).

That's only because you can't find a decent breakfast, might as well get shit-faced.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Shit-faced from six beers?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

the way things are going they will probably invent a way for ai to drink beer in our behalf instead of letting it work and do the boring shit for us.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

OK Google, handle this social interaction as if I was inebriated.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Google: Ok I overshared all your deepest secrets to everyone and then threwup. I think everyone hates you now

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago

Well, yeah, they're kind of trying to use AI to do that, but since our resources are finite, they're not doing a great job. Yeah, they'd rather run out of resources and collapse than replace us. They're completely nuts there lol.

Ever drink a 60 of rum, get fired and divorced the same day?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

60 grams? 60 milliliters? 60 sizes of banana?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

My guess is 60 oz., which doesn't make a lot of sense because even in the US that is sold as 1.75 L

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

Could be Canadian, we call it a 60 here

[–] [email protected] 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe he drank it in 60 seconds?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

"Hey man, any of that rum left?"

"Nope"

"What happened to it?"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

Is that the River Monsters dude? If so good luck replacing his crazy ass.

AI is going to replace you.

This reminded me of the dinner scene in A.I.
Eating and drinking will be our last bastion!

Which Al? Bundy? Yankovich?
