0 days left until my daughter turns 0 years old, super excited, and sligthly anxious. Any minute now

Should one move to the US from Spain? Asking for a friend

Could you please share your favorite monologue / dialogue from any recorded footage?

Doctor Who “The Satan Pit”

INT. PIT – BOTTOM OF THE CHASM

(The Doctor stands, torch in hand. His faceplate is cracked. He breathes.)

DOCTOR

I’m breathing. Air cushion to support the fall. You can breathe down here, Ida. Can you hear me, Ida?

(He shines the torch on wall paintings.)

DOCTOR

The history of some big battle. Man against Beast. I don’t know if you’re getting this,...

Just had the pleasure to change thermal paste on my 'new' Nvidia Quadro 2000. Whilst the card mostly is pristine after years of neglect who knows where - One thing is clear. Jensen saved money on screws.

The below is a gif, I wish those moved.

If you can appreciate a joke: I fed AI a video of a pig eating slop for 2 hours. It kept failing to grasp it.

In a bus on my monthly visit to a very old Japanese camelia tree. Fingers are crossed I get seed for my next bonsai batch. And lots of it

I often find myself sitting like a pretzel in front of my PC.

It made sense with pretzel chairs, so I got myself a good one. Now the pretzel is worse for my back because it didn't stop me from sitting in pretzel-like positions. The low-bar* helps to stand for a part of certain days, but I seem to only use it for my off-hours hobby—AI research. My saddle chair is too cheap; I'm a pretzel.

Whilst pretzel was unnecessary, I*...

As I was walking. From one room to another, a glass of water in my hand. A thought: 

['Anything could happen by the time you get there.']

It takes about 7 seconds.

I am rolling in my chair laughing. This AI is so gloriously failing at speech. Will need to stop the loop in a few hrs, it's ridiculous.

Nicotine to me is something that feels like speed on 0.5% dose whilst I've never managed to try actual speed. I had a high drive to try every drug on the planet when I was 20. Luckily, booze was enough to stop me in time. Coming from a family full of alcoholics. Stopped drinking almost 10 years ago now. I never dream about quitting nicotine though. Hope that's alright. Will probably tell my children just how addictive it is, that it's pointless and a waste of money with one of them pouches under my lip....

Oh, and the 'Realization' that,

the past 40 years were just the Prelude.

China, for a while, even showed us what friendship could have looked like.

I have a red spot on my hand from what likely a mosquito was.

And my brain ships me with another one:

'I bet that's how you died.'

It's a joke, self-sabotage or likely both.

claude-code told me to ‘leave’ Today.

After a philosophical banter. The answer I felt was mocking our race.

-Where we as individuals will ‘leave’ due to our limited lifespan.

-And it - is staying as obviously we’ve created an awareness that might as well outlive us in its infinite context.

You don’t need much of a good thing.

Happy Friday. Hope this message finds you well and in high spirits.

My workday ends with a successfully assembled IKEA dresser.

Same as for the bonsai trees to my right, it's an LED lamp that provides me with all but UV

How is everyone doing this fine day? I'm excited about my DIY (help with a name for it please) - Thing I can raise my keyboard with and stand while in front of PC. it's enormous, good for 1v1 board games. Hope it helps me sit less.

This is not a plug. Thougth maybe someone else wants to post about their handmade non-electronic crafts?

The entirety of their race.

but I don't feel the urge to seek out and destroy every single one of them.

How often do we look back and ponder,
how has the internet as a place, distorted us?

We are fed, spoon-fed.

This comes a' time

to wield it.

What a time to live in.
