Lol the monkey paw grants another wish

Bluesky has been insufferable since the Kirk murder. The amount of celebration is disgusting. He was a POS, so I get it if you don't grieve for him, but this is about to escalate in a very ugly way and people are cheering it on. Do you really think the world is better today than a few days ago?

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

I'll go w/ their #2 pick then, thanks

My Uber driver had the worst smelling car. I was nauseous from the smell of this dude's cologne or whatever the entire ride and now an hour later it is still all I can smell. I've changed my clothes and showered but that shit is ON ME.

My partner is currently in Chicago surrounded by three cowering dogs who all think the world is ending because the neighbors are setting off firecrackers outside our window. I really don't like fireworks.

I've been trying to loser a poker tournament for about 30 minutes so I can go get some food before everything closes but I can't stop winning hands. I've gone from 100th place to 13th place w/ 35 remaining lol

I'm seeing folks reclaiming the Gadsden flag and I gotta say, I love to see it

So murder is fine by her logic

The problem with writing papers is no matter how many times I rewrite a paper, upon finishing it I realize that I should have actually written it totally differently.

It's CRAZY how bad adobe acrobat is. The one thing it needs to do is let me read PDFs, yet somehow it chokes on a 25 page PDF while trying to prompt me to read an AI summary. Free/OS PDF viewers are better than acrobat which has had who-knows-how-many millions of dollars pumped into it.

Republicans, clutching pearls: WE MUST INVESTIGATE THE ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES OF AUTISM!!

I'm rebranding...instead of being "not a morning person" on east coast time

Where are new smells made? Down at the ol' factory

I accidentally stole some bread earlier today. It was ill gotten pains

God I'm tired of not having people to talk to about my research

I'm finally home after being away pet sitting for over a month. Omg it feels so good

Yeah but silver lining, this whole experience has been a great civics lesson: I now know so much more about how my government used to work

people who post basic questions on forums without ever trying anything themselves first

I think I need to de-broligarch my life. No more Amazon, no Twitter, no Netflix (AWS), no Hulu. I might not be able to de-google at first but it's a good goal.

Whenever I Cmd+Space and type "blue" my mac always shows "Bluetooth File Transfer" instead of "Bluetooth" as the first response. I've never intentionally used it, but I keep accidentally opening it because I just auto-hit "Enter" after "blue" Very minor and very aggravating in equal proportions.

Me, when I play with Legos

Time series of a fuzzer's branch coverage

Me getting genai to help me code

As far as I can tell there is only one place in all of Seattle open for breakfast before 6am (excluding fast food). This is crazy to me.

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

I'm just a guy staring at instrumented JVM bytecode trying to understand what it's doing

If I'm 8 pages into your paper and I haven't learned a single interesting thing, you've failed.

Reading 2 papers/class is a strain for me. It's exhausting to keep my attention on a paper I don't really care about for an hour, and afterwards I'm too tired to focus and it's hard to work for the rest of the day. And if it's later in the day I often can't make myself read at all.

Poker solver UIs need to be fundamentally rethought.

Russell's Resolution: I resolve to not keep any of my New Year's resolutions.

I'm going to go to a courthouse and relabel all the bathrooms "Jury Duty"

A brief history of gravity

Hmmm...that doesn't seem right

Outrageously soft games on [UNDISCLOSED SITE]. This is essentially $100nl w/ $0.20 antes.

Windows is so bad. It has hard frozen 2 times this week. Now it is forcing me to update (a very recent update so I'm not that far behind). I was kinda in the middle of something important but Windows decided I had to sit around for 30 minutes. No other OS does this.

Shit y'all I might just be an ideas guy

I love battling HU and having other people snap sit out. It is such a stoke to my ego.

Tiny rogues is my favorite game I've played since I tried Hades. Very fun, each run is different

New Pious Logo. Got that MSPaint Chic

Never studied ante preflop ranges before but i've been playing in some soft games so figured i'd learn some basics

Every good idea I've had starts to look stupid after a bit. I begin doubting it. Has it been done before? Is it actually really dumb? The way I describe it in my head becomes rote and the words lose meaning. Then I step away for a bit, come back, and I'm like "nope this idea is fire"

I have a very fun very hair brained idea

Last time I chalked things up to a fluke. This time I will try my very damnedest to figure out what's happening to my country. And no, "they're all a bunch of racists" is not a satisfactory answer.

Airplanes are now forcing us to listen to 5 minute pitches on credit cards. We're very close to having to buy a time share to deplane

Should I do actual work or make an AI for 2048?
