Ah right, Wallace. Seemed like everything he did was a cry for help

I think I remember that from my creative writing class! Wasn’t it by O’Connor or someone?

That honestly makes more sense. Mine had the sensors attached to the air valve which sync’d with the car wirelessly and they’d fail for any reason

I had to get new pressure sensors for my old car and decided to roll new tires into it. A mile and a half out of the shop the light popped on and I pulled over to find out that the tech over pressurized one of the tires to 55psi and busted one of the new sensors

I’ve been trying to figure out if Stone Rebel is an AI band or not. They started in 2018 and have put out something like 77 albums since, but it’s relatively simple instrumental. They have almost no information online except a claim that they’re “based in France”

Honestly can’t tell if they’re a legit yet very private group, or if they were early adopters of procgen music

All I’ve got is this hammer drill

I agreed to co-write a show recently so I’ve been writing literally anything, just as you said “pantsing” it and run out of steam within a couple pages. So I’ve tried to outline and just stare at a blank screen with zero focus. My creative process is its own oxymoron where it wants setting and characters so it can make a story but also wants the story so it can create the setting and characters.

I’m at a loss with myself, except I’m going to keep trying

Oh wait, looks like it ended in 23? I don’t think I’ve looked since 2018

Wait is GWTB still ongoing?! I need to read it all again in entirety

Right so I started using the GUI interface for all of ten minutes, then as soon as I started looking for “how to” anything it’s all terminal commands. Especially since I switched specifically to make an environment to learn computer vision. So I spent an hour yesterday learning the difference between pip, pip3, and pipx then did something with snap. Tossed all that in the “figure it out later” bucket when I realized I needed to relearn how to modify my path and what that actually means.

It’s so nice having everything accessible to me as the user instead of locked behind some windows registry I can’t look at or some oversimplified settings panel. But I’ve also got 20 years of Windows conditioning to unlearn. It can be a lot to dive into at all once.

Having said all that, I’m excited and enjoying it

I just threw Ubuntu on mine and my god it’s so much cleaner than Windows, but I have so much to learn.

Haha you’re in danger

Goodhart’s Law in action

It’s all so exhausting. Like most of us, I left Reddit to get away from centralized control of communication on the Internet and the constant performative division, but it’s almost impossible to avoid. Each platform seems to foster its own flavor of identity with no tolerance for nuance or common ground. I try not to block instances or communities so I can stay up to date on the current tides, but much of it is so reactionary and tolerates nothing less than complete loyalty. Then, every day a new line is drawn in the sand by some faceless account going one step further in one direction or the other and that becomes the new accepted and expected position.

I deeply enjoy the fediverse and especially how genuine most of the users here are, but the choice is still between an echo chamber I make for myself or the echo chamber constructed by the loudest voices.

I would love to see a diagram of how its morphology changed through time and evolution, I bet it’s wild

Sushi/nigiri.

I do not screw around with low quality or bad meats, especially fish meat. I had enough fresh fish when I lived in Japan to know what it’s supposed to look and smell like, and if the nigiri I’m served smells any bit off I’m simply not eating it.

If your fish smells like fish, it’s gone bad. Most types of fish if properly preserved should smell somewhat like clean seawater, with some variation by species

Edit: Also, if the rice looks dry or doesn’t adhere properly, I assume the kitchen has no idea what they’re doing and won’t eat it

The one thing missing from my life is being able to scream like the monarch

Thank you, I will now internalize this for future silly misuse

Can it work the other way too? Like an excessively high energy person makes a normal energy person seem less so?
