I would follow that with "impact." That word has been so skewed from its original meaning as to have become nearly meaningless.

All cats are weird, it's in the design specs.

Excellent link!
And it might be needed sooner than we think, indeed!
This episode of Love, Death + Robots (spoiler alert) nailed it!

I disagree with Dilbert's logic. There are always startup companies working on stuff that ultimately fails.
Google the word alchemy.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

When I read that this AM I was going to dedicate to a number of resident Soapbox posters.
Apparently, if you read the previous week's Dilberts, you'll find his company has hired the same scientific consultant they use for their pronouncements on climate change and anything else.
CP Lounge/Soapbox is more than a mere community. I think we're becoming a nation-state.

A green hat?
Paddy's day or no Paddy's day, it's been categorically, empirically, and undeniably proven[^] that green hats offend Chinese developers!*
Or does it mean that CP members have been getting satisfaction from SO?
* Although that's probably only true when the hats are received as gifts from their wives

I don't think so since the hat is on Bob's head who definitly is not a Chinese and non-male (can an alien be classified using male/female attributes ???)

And it's being St Paddy's Day today is going to leave a bad taste in many Irish mouths after yesterday's substantial drubbing ... sorry lads, but you were outclassed!

And there I was in front of the TV savouring a glass of the black stuff. Mind you, Scotland showed almost as much class later on. And Italy - those boys try so hard, it's time they had a win.

Scotland really came back in the second half - I thought they were doomed after the first 40 minutes. To come from that far back and get a draw was phenomenal work, and truly deserved a win.
Italy? They try, and try, but tries escape them. They are however building up a superb collection of wooden spoons ...

DID YOU KNOW?
Many of you probably don't know where the name EXXON came from. It used to be "Esso" and some others. Well, the company used such computer resources as were available at the time to find a word that meant nothing at all in any language. This can actually be important.
- The Chevrolet Nova was a poor seller in Spanish speaking countries as No va means "No Go" in Spanish.
- When in grad school, we had a visiting professor from Brazil - when hysterical, laughing, when Pay Day came around and everyone spoke about it: in (Brazilian) Portuguese it means "Fart Day"
- Within the last few days I posted about the problems of giving and receiving "Gift"'s from Germans
and the misunderstandings that could invoke. - Many Asians, such as Chinese, use red for celebrations (like weddings) and white for sad ones (like funerals). So, what does it mean (aside from supposed virginity) when a bride wears white? The imminent death of her husband's freedom, I suppose.
The point being, then, you are highly likely (without the Exxon example) to do anything or say anything that doesn't have a different implication in some other culture. Unless done deliberately to offend, it's impossible to not find cultural conflicts that simply have to be endured.
I'm glad Bob's kept his green hat on - because (at least in North America, well away from Eire), said green hats are part of an annual party ritual that has no intent to upset Chinese.
