I went back to school for engineering in my late 20s. I took physics and calculus again because I needed it to be confident in pursuing the rest of the courses.

If it spreads like a meme, then it is a meme.

Getting your ass kicked is not even a big deal in combat sports with rules. You’ll mostly be fine, you can spin the story. I bet Zuck gets beat all the time in training. I rather see Musk call out fights and back out. That is such a pussy move.

 

me: can turn my dog’s name into a name that sounds like a dinosaur? My dog’s name is Serverina. She is a big dog with a docked tail.

chatGPT: For a dog named Severina, here's a dinosaur-inspired name that takes her size and tail into account: "Tyrannosevra." It combines elements of "Tyrannosaurus," a well-known dinosaur known for its size, with a twist on her name, Severina. This name adds a fun and unique touch while honoring her characteristics.

Fuck, that is going to be so irritating when it can create long responses with “relevant” ads.

I let my wife use my openAI account after spending all day asking chatGPT dumb questions. I cringe thinking about someone reading my chats.

Oh man, I totally forgot. Expeditionary Force is so good! Its funny like hitch hikers guide to the galaxy but more modern and the writing is not as clever. But there is a HUGE story arc dealing with super smart spiders. I listened to it and I’m pretty sure it was made for audiobooks first.

Have you read It by Stephen King? Not really Scifi but there is a spider in there!

Foam sounds terrible for holding bolts. If you have to fill it and have a clear hollow access, I’d consider epoxy and some wood dowels. The dowels would be to bring the cost down because you will probably need more than a gallon of epoxy and that stuff is expensive. This is my idea, please feel free to poop on it.

Jiu Jitsu. Really fun to grapple hard against an opponent. Unlike striking sports, you can practice pretty hard and mostly avoid injuries. There is a thinking component and a mental strength component making it much more fun than other workouts I do.

 

I remember this clip from the wire where they discuss the difference between evacuating a place and evacuating a person. The Wire - Evacuate Found one example of what they discussed in an NPR article today and is made me laugh.A woman evacuate her horse.

 

Do you call them lemminites? Lamminators? Lems? Lemmings? I haven’t seen what sticks yet but I’m new.

 

Found this all over my local trail in Hawaii. Looks like turkey tail but not white on the edges and not a lot of color separation. Also, Ive never id’ a mushroom.
