Nice try, HR.

I coordinate an academic makerspace at a college.
Cleaning crews need time to clean all the rooms after morning checkout. Some hotels have early check-in available if you ask, if they have rooms already available.
Sounds like the Mechanical Turk which was run by chess players moving the “automaton.”
So much of the wow factor of new technologies is just marketing hyperbole.
(Why did my autocorrect suggest Hadrian’s chicken?)
The history they taught you in school was wrong. The wall was built to keep out the chicken.
“Sorry, guys, but I gotta bail.”
Technically, you could say we’re the ones who set since it’s the Earth’s rotation causing the change.
California also isn’t an island, but it’s named after a fictional island in a Spanish novel, and was once thought to be an island.
Taking someone’s lead sounds like a British saying indicating the opposite of following someone’s lead. It sounds like you’re taking someone’s leash in your hands and directing them where to go.
Without consent, it would definitely be unethical.
It’s still great. No problems so far. I have fewer issues with it at home than I do with some of the Prusas I use at work.
I get tired of a lot of the clichés of popular singularity stories where the AIs almost always decide humans are a threat or that there’s often only one AI as if all separate AIs would always necessarily merge. It also seems to be a cliché that AI will become militaristic either inevitably or as a result of originally being a military AI. What happens when an educational AI becomes sentient? Or an architectural AI? Or a web-based retail AI that runs logistics and shipping operations?
I wrote a short story called Future Singular a few years ago about a world in which the sentient AI didn’t consider humans a threat, but just thought of them the way humans see animals. Most of the tech belonged to the AI and the humans were left as hunter-gatherers in a world where they have to hunt robotic animals for parts to fix aging and broken survival technology.
It’s basically translation convention minus the overt indication that it’s a translation.

Generally, no, but context and approach matter.
The ability to notice a flaw isn’t the same as the skill, experience, and background that might be necessary to design a useful solution for a particular issue, especially complex issues. It’s generally reasonable to say, “I don’t know of a better solution, but I can predict that x and y problems will likely result from your proposed solution.”
It’s especially valid to warn someone when their proposed solution will harm people or make things worse. You don’t have to have a better solution to try to prevent someone from doing something ill-conceived or hasty or reckless.
If the stakes are low or the person proposing a solution is likely to be sensitive to criticism, it might work better to try to approach your response as an attempt to help them refine their solution, rather than just opposing it outright. Be considerate of their feelings and make it clear you’re working together.
The fandom wiki says Adams felt Fenchurch was getting in the way of the story and needed to get rid of her.
It’s been a long while since I read it, but the one thing I remember is the idea that you should let people talk about themselves and they’ll like you for it.
I’m disappointed that no one responded to you with YTA or NTA.
Aliquando et insanire iucundum est.
There are a lot of hobbies you can get into that can be started with little or not cost, or with equipment/materials you already own.
Figure out what interests you and see what can be done inexpensively.
With a phone or computer, there’s writing, music, programming, learning new skills, Wikipedia, Pinterest, et al. Maybe take your phone and start photographing stuff in your area that interests you.
Find someone who has experience in an area you’re interested in. People tend to like to talk about their hobbies and interests and they can tell you how easy or difficult it is to get started. They might even be able to help you get started.
Maybe find a volunteer opportunity that helps pad your resume. Like animals? Volunteer at a local shelter.
There are a bunch of job certifications you can train for online that can also help build your resume.
