Ordered 3 crunchy beef supreme tacos from Taco Bell. Got 4 soft tacos, two beef and two chicken. I'm pretty sure my order is only right about half of the time at literally EVERY fast food place.

I am not yet at the point where I refer to a nice clear road with some sweeping bends as "the twisties" and I kinda hope I never get there.

I think a sleep deprived state works for me.... Sometimes.

Ya know... I think my most hawkish thoughts are around bombing all Russian data centers. I could be easily disuaded with actual facts and honest thinking.

The funniest thing I find with AI is that it seems to judge you when it perceives that you have judgments about others. Even better is that it backtracks immediately if you try and give it more context rather than asking about your context before judging you.

No amount of rain storm videos can put me to sleep anymore. I think I might be impervious to sleep.

Leftists ought to hand it to Elon today. He has announced a product that is going to violently kill a nontrivial number of billionaires.

I wonder how long it will be until "dumb" appliances and vehicles, unconnected to an app or the internet, are sold at a premium because everything else is susceptible to AI infiltration...

I don't want AI in anything usually, but it is a really is a good tool to fix coding stuff that you don't have the time to understand. If your use case is, "I want this ship ticket to look different, but don't want to learn XSL to make basic edits." - Perfect candidate.

we don't have time for another plague apocalypse. we already did that. we're on to robot apocalypse now, try to catch up. next in line is fungal apocalypse. please consult the schedule

Fantastic idea sir!

Jesus Claude... absolutely feral, and I love it. "You have more than 20 years of experience; you’ve earned the right to be more than a ghostwriter for someone who can't form a sentence."

A lovely 2 minute distraction for the afternoon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=khhb...

I haven't ridden in 2 weeks because of the rain... I pull up the forecast and... GFDI

As long as this keeps being my goal, I'm gonna make it every year... until I don't and it doesn't matter at that point.

We've lost a lot of good people this year, but Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman are still alive. That makes me happy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAH2...

I normally drink tea, and coffee is just so bitter and gross... but that rush I get once a month when I drink it is worth the taste. Is there such a thing as a coffee chipper? Cuz I'd qualify.

Listen to Jolene by Dolly Parton and TRY to tell me she wasn't amazing. RIP Dolly... So sad.

This afternoon's entertainment. Never heard of them until now! - www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zP-...

I think, if someone wanted to seduce me, the best way would not be with sex. Instead, if they got really interested in the music I love, and kept asking for my recommendations and to listen with me, I might fall madly in love with them. "You make me want to be a better music curator."

"You can't break mud. It just keeps on being mud"

I dislike cold drinks getting warm so much that, it doesn't matter what it is or how big it is, I'll drink it in about 5 min. I don't think that I could physically survive a full day of Oktoberfest.

Today I got to ask a frustrated IT person if they had restarted their computer to clear an issue. They argued that it shouldn't need to be, but I insisted. Wouldn't you know it... The restart fixed the issue. They thanked me and quickly got off the call. "Dude, I think I just did both our jobs!"

This exact spot is why I think most Omaha refuses to zipper merge correctly. We all have a burnt in memory of getting cut off by some jerk who merged right last minute. It's a trauma that gets recalled every time a lane is shut down. Most line up for fairness. www.google.com/maps/place/O...

Brought my motorcycle to work today. Took me 2 full weeks to recover, but I'm feeling dumb enough to hop back on. It's too fun not to want to try to get better.

Yeah, that's probably about right, lol. britmonkey.com/2020s-politi...

I wonder how successful a podcast featuring exotic dancers trying beers with a couple of beer enthusiasts would be... You could call it "Pints & Poles" or something fun. There would be no nudity or excessive bawdiness, just pretty girls that probably don't drink beer much on a tasting journey.

I've got a weird anger in me for old people that seem utterly helpless. You had decades to ready yourself for the failing of your body. There is a point at which you have to give in and just rely on others. Until then, plan ahead and problem solve and you'll stay capable and classy a lot longer.

Time to fill out my yearly review. I've been here 24 years man, I'm starting to feel like Red in The Shawshank Redemption. Kinda feels like a thing we do to mark another year, rather than any opportunity for counselling or growth. Always has been too, even across 5 managers in my time here.
