I'm dreading another upcoming reaming by the President of my company and their inner circle of AI evangelists. The bi-monthly chest thumping is more about non-technical leaders yelling about why what they see on their LinkedIn feed isn't being done at our company.

How are y'all holding the line on reasonableness without flying off the handle these days?

We're using AI as one of several automation opportunities to improve productivity across the CFO org, under the spirit that AI is not the right solution for every problem. Apparently, it's not enough.

One of the demands is for AI generated board decks with immediate delivery and a built in digital CFO to chat with about results. I haven't been impressed with the consistency or accuracy from the LLMs enough to think that's not a HORRIBLE idea, especially for a publicly traded company.

Have y'all copitulated on this, or are you successfully holding back the flood of AI influencers, hollow vendor promises, etc.?

Please send help.

Does anyone have any experience with one of these? Are they comfortable to sit in, or do they just look nice?

I'm thinking about adding one to my den as my main chair for relaxing, TV/movie watching, etc.ad I love the way they look and it fits my space. But...I don't know if they make a good lounger or are just a pretty piece to look at.

I want something that I can sit in for hours, supports the head for movie watching, and is NOT a recliner. On paper, I think this might fit the bill,but I don't have any real world experience with them.

Thx

I've been listening to all of the comparison videos I can find to get a sense of what I like for a pan. Amy posted a comparison of 20 different models and 2 of them caught my eye / ear...a Meridian 15 note D Kurd and a gorgeous sounding Celestial model.

I did some research and it looks like the Celestial model is a custom pan with a custom scale just for her...also Celestial isn't taking orders. The meridian though doesn't seem to be for sale. The closes I could find from them was a 14 note model.

Does anyone know if that 15 note D Kurd is a custom handpan or is it just an older model they no longer make.

I haven't been able to find any local makers in my metro area so figured I'd look farther afield for options that caught my ear.

I'm thinking about switching from GoogleFi to USM, but I love having VM transcription.

Does anyone have US Mobile and is able to confirm if that feature works on you 4a? I've talked to the USM reps and it doesn't look like that option is available on my device so I assume it's a carrier provided service from Google.

Currently using a Pixel 4a on both GoogleFi (voice, text, and international roaming) and Visible (unlimited data).

What features will I lose by jumping to USM? Does USM support voice mail transcription, visual voice mail, spam caller ID, etc? Will I lose anything?

I'd like to cut back to one provider only to reduce cost.

I'm looking to consolidate my dual sim set-up away from Fi and am looking at US Mobile. I'm currently on both Fi and Visible on a Pixel 4a.

What features / functionality does Fi offer that I might have to give up if I move away?

Do I lose voice mail transcription, spam caller identification, or anything else? I'm okay giving up international roaming as I don't use it very much any more.

Movers damaged my wood bed, that can be repaired. They also lost some pieces, like the feet underneath.

I was able to get the missing pieces, but the entire king bed has to be disassembled to put the pieces on.

Who do I call in Atlanta for this one? What do I even search for? It's too large is a job for me to handle and I don't want the original movers to touch anything of mine again.
