I recognized that scene immediately but didn’t know it was called the “cosmic bit flip”

I recently had a moment of panic at work, a person from a different area was in the break room and was the spitting image of my ex. Albeit, a bit taller.

A stroke of genius! Brainblast!

Q

But it feels like trivial pursuits

I have a rusted knife in a badly tanned hide sheath from the early 1900s that an explorer in the family got from a tribe over Africa way (not sure of real geographical location). The thing is primitive and small but could probably be cursed. I don’t have many items that’d fit the description

Neat in the macabre sense. Because while it’s disturbing for sure, it’s interesting someone put that much effort into production effort of such a thing.

100% there are songs and music that I adore that were heavily attached to who I was at the time, that, although I still adore, would not have the same impact now. Green day, RHCP, imagine dragons, all those are from different key times in my life that just would not resonate the same with level of impact today.

I would most definitely lose that value if I eternal sumshined it

Well, that’s a thing on the internet apparently. Neat. -_-

His video on the wok induction heater had so much sass

“What was once an impossibility is now a reality”

By vectron’s creaky ankle that’s a great video!

Drink a full glass of water before bed, eventually you’ll learn how much to drink to wake you at about the correct time. I used to be absolutely dead to the world while sleeping, I even needed a shock bracelet to wake me. Drinking water was one method I used though.

Many trades pay big money just for having the knowledge more than doing work. Being capable =/= Doing lots of work necessarily. I know people being paid big bucks to do nothing until a specific job comes up that requires their niche knowledge. That knowledge can be so hard to find or capable people so sparse that it’s worth paying a lot to have that value on retainer.

Maybe that Dr. Is a specialist? Maybe there’s shortage? There’s plenty of possible reasons, including that person just being a bad worker. Regardless, they definitely spent near a decade to gain enough knowledge and skill to aquire that position. That’s gonna come with a larger salary.

I am always wrong in matters of taste. This is why I get other people to do all tastes for me. This includes my wardrobe

I’ve gone twice, the first time, it was awesome! I was with two friends, we roamed and checked out basically every street. I even got to put a lock on the lock bridge for my partner at the time. Everyone was friendly and 2 of us spoke French so that helped a ton.

The second time I went was a few years after. The terrorist attacks had happened and the experience was not as great. The Eiffel tower is now gated and patrolled, you need had to get in lines and wait to get up close. They also had taken down the lock bridge (I was still with the same partner). It was still a good experience for sure, the vibe was different though.

Paris at night is beautiful, though remember that it is still a city, so treat it as such.

Next up, opposing candidate promises personal pony identification system for all citizens.

In all new flavors like SHOCKLATE and GUN

I did some reenactment as a early American colonial settler for a whole expo in a town event. That was pretty fun! Outside that I’ve only helped friends with their actual cosplay. One friend did a league of legends character (IDK the name, I don’t play) and one did reinheart from overwatch. And another did a tavern wench.

Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures in hand. I may cosplay myself soon though. Unknown

IIRC When ChatGPT was first announced I believe the hype was because it was the first real usable interface a layman could interact with using normal language and have an intelligible response from the software. Normally to talk with computers we use their language (programming) but this allowed plain language speakers to interact and get it to do things with simple language in a more pervasive way than something like Siri for instance.

This then got over hyped and over promised to people with dollars in their eyes at the thought of large savings from labor reduction and capabilities far greater than it had. They were sold a product that has no real “product” as it’s something most people would prefer to interact with on their own terms when needed, like any tool. That’s really hard to sell and make people believe they need it. So they doubled down with the promise it would be so much better down the road. And, having spent an ungodly amount into it already, they have that sunken cost fallacy and keep doubling down.

This is my personal take and understanding of what’s happening. Though there’s probably more nuances, like staying ahead of the competition that also fell for the same promises.

Nutella?
