Man she was pissed when I dared wake her up so I could have some space on the bed. The nerve of me.
Mrs’s cat came over and went “I want a pat… wait, your not mrs B! Wait… is she around? Can she see us? hmmm, ok, you may pat me but ONLY if you dont tell her I am cheating”. Her cat and I have a very complicated relationship.
The thing I love the most about cats, and maybe Gibson in particular, is the sheer fucking audacity and attitude for a ball of fluff that is literally 1/20th my size.
Zero fucks given. “I do what I want, when I want and too fucking bad if you don’t like it. If you try to stop me in any way, I will make your life miserable for as long as I deem necessary”.
I respect the confidence lol
My cat was lounging on the window sill in the sun the other day when he decided my pot plant was an affront to him and he punted it onto the ground. So yea, I agree with your assessment and no it’s not just Gibson.
My Pepper has that confidence. All 3kg of her, and it’d only directed at me. Every one else gets lovey Pepper, I get spicy bitch cat! I still love her, and suffer multiple scratches from trying to show her how much.
Spicy bitch cat 😂 😂 😂
Her nickname is Pepperoni. There is also a home made song about her being the spiciest of all the sausage cats.
I know not of this cold basking in 22C and full sun out in Bestern Australia. 29C tomorrow, then a Melbourne-esque pivot to 19C and rain on Friday before I head home.
I’m not really that keen on going back to work at one of my jobs after this…
23 degrees and sunny on Saturday. Could be worse. Grand Final day too. Airlines gonna be chockers …
I might have a slow day today, just do stuff slowly and with stress and also try to finish this dinosaur lego thing I have. 🙂
Rainy today. I’m sitting here with the heater one and the sound of traffic and rain on.
Don’t know is this is of any interest to you because it comes from a video game ambit late last night I started a game called Death Stranding and the vibes from the intro sequence which was mostly cinematic reminded me of you and what you might enjoy watching.
thank you 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h898oNXJ7Oo
I don’t play video games because I’m saving money, but I do love them
It’s all good. It’s a media format I consume and some of them have a stellar storytelling.
There’s more a little bit after that though there’s a small gap missing though after the intro you linked.
This is the after that.
and I love Low Roar, used to listen to him all the time 🙂
Turns out I haven’t been drinking enough water for the movicol to do its thing.
Apparently 8 sachets in 1 day is a lot lol
I’ve occasionally had four in a day and you certainly know about it the next day. Eight could be dramatic when they kick in. I would be staying home!
I was having one a day post hernia surgery. It worked a treat.
8 🫠
Plus you’re working out so you need even more.
Yeah that was the key. Water.
Now I regret taking 8.
Gives me the shits when that happens.
Ummm. Yeah. That is a lot.
People need to realise how easy it is for a human to figure out synthetic content. At least, with the current state of AI text generation.
I don’t think it shouldn’t be used; I do think it should be clearly labelled as synthetic.
Reddit is a wasteland for this shit already, though. Probably too late.
The problem is not only does it make poor recommendations that affect the legal outcome and safety of the child.
The LLM has also now got hold of sensitive and potentially identifiable personal information, which is now subject to the company’s own rules of how that information will be handled and disclosed.
I don’t think it should be used for this purpose.
I’ve also refused to allow my GP to use AI to take notes during the consultation, because I don’t think the owner of that technology should have access to my medical information.
Ps. In the infancy of AI I used to participate in citizen science projects as a volunteer, training the models to recognise slides with cancer cells. I also watched in interest as it was used to generate simple forms challenging parking fines (?) for those who couldn’t afford legal assistance.
So it’s not like I’m screaming about progress being bad and Thomas Edison being a witch. I simply think a lot of corner cutting and misuse is happening without regulations, and leading to real harm.
I agree 100%.
Of course they did. It is universal that in every workplace people exist who just turn up and tick boxes, they have no care of their impacts on anyone else - clients, coworkers, the public etc. Zero f’s and zero diligence. Sometimes their mundane box ticking is harmless, but in some positions it can be very destructive. I don’t even know how a business could ban the use of AI. Even if block in company IT, someone could just do it on their phone and copy paste. The ban would only be useful if the person was discovered, and then probably have to go through the warning process. But damage already done. So unfortunately I think we are stuck with it forever from now on. Enshitification of the world continues.
Just found out a neighbor (man in his 60s) was being love scammed. Relatives have been warming him for six months it’s a scam.
Now he’s spent all of his savings and he’s been evicted.
I have some sympathy, but I can’t help but think his pig headedness is a big contributor here.
Happened to my FIL and it wasn’t even over the internets. Real life.
She even forged his will.
Regarding your neighbour’s pigheadedness. The scammers target people with those personality traits, they test for it.
I’m curious - what are the personality traits and how do they test for it?
ignorance, pigheadedness, gullibility, sexism.
They will look like an obvious scammer so it weeds out the ones who know about scams.
They tell obvious lies and see if the other person will let the lie pass. They test to see if the victim, if male, is sexist, a sexist victim doesn’t think they can be outsmarted by a woman. They play victim. They flatter. etc etc
Interesting. Well I just found out this guy has been scammed by a phillipino woman before. Guy bought the woman a farm in Thailand then she dumped him.
So this is actually round 2 for being scammed. At this point I want to believe it’s some kind of mental illness.
It would take a certain personality to believe that a random international internet stranger who is much younger, very good looking, flirty and generous with flattery would develop an instant adoration and sexual attraction for someone they’ve never met.
I think there might be a subgroup of victims who fall for it out of loneliness, even if they may suspect something is not right they continue because it’s respite from their loneliness. But sounds like your neighbour is not in that group, and just has a lot of ego.
Sometimes people are just very lonely. Combine that with naivete and pride and you have a very vulnerable person
Interview went well! Hopefully hear if I’m onto the next stage tomorrow. Will also include a practical test, but let’s see what happens! Thanks for the good vibes, peeps!!
There’s nothing like having a nice relaxing bath with… an audience and running commentary. I provided the entertainment now they need to make me a cuppa tea.
Audience and running commentary?
What we’re you doing? A bathtub performance?
Did you at least score 9s?
They owe you a cuppa for sure.
Just doing the usual things you do in a bath in privacy of your own home. I don’t know about the score but I got recommendations of beauty products.
Did the house pets also sit in the audience?
Yeah. They set up camp on the mat then the little one tried to get in with me. I replied “This is a one woman bath my friend”.
Horizon Zero dawn remaster, despite you know only being released and perfectly playable on the ps5. What about the original ratchet and clank trilogy? Infamous 1 or 2? Jack and Daxter remaster? No? How about some stuff that ISNT playable on ps5 instead of a title that absolutely IS playable?!
Yeah HZD is the remaster no one asked for. Apart from GOT the entire State of Play was quite ‘meh’
yeah VERY meh. Glad to see its not just Xbox struggling with content at the moment.
I am looking forward to Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Looks decent enough. Just finished playing Star Wars Outlaws and it was fun as shit.
Got Black Myth Wukong queued up now (once my son gets off the PS5)
Studios are still making content, just the exclusive stuff seems to have dropped off a bit.
I’m not sure what to think of Outlaws at the moment.
I have Jedi FO and Survivor in my backlog at the moment.
I don’t mind the remasters of the RPGs they’ve announced either, would like to see what they end up doing to them though.
Im getting a little fatigued by the all Souls like games over the last few years.
I havnt gotten into Outlaws yet. No chance I’m touching another AC game though. I keep hearing rumors of a Black Flag remaster which I would be down for. Also interested in the NFS Most Wanted Remaster rumors.
I’m a glutton for punishment with AC 😁
Mirage was fine to be honest. Just long and interesting enough. Much better than Valhalla and Odyssey, but still lacking.
I didn’t have huge expectations for Outlaws, just wanted to play a Star Wars game. It’s well made with a decent enough story. Some missions are irritating (the stealth isn’t fantastic, but serviceable).
Heaps of Easter eggs and fanboy fodder. Sabbac is cool too.
I just want a remaster of sleeping dogs. That game was fucking amazing and is totally underrated.
Original R&C and Deadlocked/Gladiator!
I could leave Deadlocked tbh, I didnt think the first person worked all that well on PS2. But I would play the SHIT outta 2 and 3 remastered. I mean, we BASICALLY got 1 remastered with that PS4 remake.
I’m excited about Ghosts of Tsushima getting a sequel. I really loved the first one.
I think it’s a waste remastering zero Dawn though.
I would really like the see Jax remastered as I never played them before and the ratchet trilogy as well.
Daiso lego project fail. The bits are just too small to hold together a big model.
spoiler
Well boo to that
If you can find the brand Nanoblocks, they are pretty cool. Mini lego type pieces that fit together properly.
Are the snap together joints giving out under the weight? It looks like a lot of unsupported limbs there and unequal distribution of weight.
I dunno if a dab of glue or green stuff at the joins would be cheating but perhaps if you built the legs first as kind of an arch, perhaps with something supporting them underneath, and then assembled the rest of it while being supported by a doll frame.
The head is over the neck and over one leg so maybe that might stay put. The tail is going to be most at risk of snapping off
the pieces are small, 90% are 1x1 and there are no spanning pieces larger than 2x1 to hold it all together. iow, can’t do proper brick laying
Yeah, I’m not a Lego person, was just thinking about how buildings and bridges stayed up… but yeah I think they put more work into marketing than functionality and it just won’t work :( It seems very poorly designed.
Edit: If you were curious though the bit at 2:17 was my thought process https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iqyLlscQrvQ
Superglue alone often needs to be supported as it dries or might not be strong enough
That looks cool, I love looking at new hobbies. I might do that if I wanted to keep the big model but I want to pull it apart and rebuild the 12 little dinosaurs.

Really awkward time to wake up feeling fully rested and refreshed.
Rise and shine , time for the hay fever to hit 🤧😖🫠
It’s so bad this morning…doubling up on the Telfast…damn the consequences!!!
can you do that? I thought the dosage was 1 per 24 hours.
You can do whatever you want…results may vary though 😁
I am not a doctor, but have been told by GPs and Pharmacists in the past to increase dosages over the recommended on the packet. I’m not a small person, and the doses on packets are very conservative. Not something one should do regularly, but on as needed basis.
^^ this.
The recommend dosages have massive safety tolerances built in, you can eat a whole box of them will just hallucinate with no lasting problems.
The one regular medication to never to do this with though is paracetamol (Panadol / Tylenol). Never take more than 8 a day. Your liver only has enough of a particular enzyme to process that much in 24 hours without causing damage. It’s surprising that it’s legal to buy tbh, that stuff is dangerous.
eat a whole box of them will just hallucinate
Well that’s my weekend sorted.
Lol! But just in case you’re being even remotely serious, trust me when I say its not a fun trip.
Popping my Zyrtec like it’s the holy communion since last week
Edit: except… Not only on sunday, and it’s actually doing something
Migraine. Agony.
Gonna throw down a fair bit of potassium in the g-den today for that flower action. Sorry hay fever people. Perfect time for it.
You’re stepping outside in this weather? You’re far braver than I!
