The best sight to see at the local gym: a ~70 years old lady on her, most likely, first ever gym visit with a personal trainer going through some weight exercises. Amazing stuff. The weights are for everyone!

The one thing Gemini 2.5 PRO is amazing at is creating interactive prototypes. I applied a new pattern today - did quick sketches in Figmā for the flow, described the flow and fed the Figmā images. The result - perfect clickable prototype in 3 iterations / 10 minutes.
+- 4h work in Figma saved.

Let's hope the long term weather forecast is correct.

Europe is already under attack.
Water supply of strategic Baltic island Gotland was sabotaged last night.
Someone broke into the pump controls and destroyed them.
The pumps serve a large part of Gotland (pop 61k) and had it gone unnoticed could have left all island without water.
Security services are notified. Water is ok.

Also in 2 weeks those American groups could attack the Baltics to help Russian invasion. Better to remove all Americans from Europe ASAP.
As long as there are U.S. troops in Europe some countries here might have hope that things might come back to normal. Better then if Trump orders the withdrawal right away so the final blinders fall from the eyes of the naive. Then we might finally see some real action in Europe.

The new note taking and summarizing capabilities that Gemini brings to Meet are really good. 2025 is the year when AI enabled productivity tools will flood our work and really up our efficiency. 4 day work week, here we come!

This video is an amazing learning opportunity to anyone starting fireworks. Nothing should be firing on ground. On second 1, turn away from the fireworks and cover your face, duck. Go behind a cover if possible. The person filming had ALL the chance to save themselves.

I guess in the end Riga has a pretty decent city sewage and drainage system. We got like more than a month's worth of rain in 24 hours last year, however, nothing serious happened. Malaga was crazily flooded by half the millimeters. Here, the UK also looks in a bad shape after less rainfall.
Lielbritānijā spēcīgs lietus trešdien izraisījis plūdus Lielās Mančestras grāfistē, kur ūdens līmenis vietām pakāpies līdz automašīnu jumtiem. Grāfistē divu dienu laikā nolija gandrīz mēneša norma.
Glābšanas dienests ziņo, ka vairāk nekā 100 vietās izplatīts brīdinājums par plūdiem.

The main goal of 2025 - keep running the things that went well in 2025. Instead of introducing some new habits that might be difficult to maintain, holding on to already smoothly running things should be the main goal for all.

First workout with the overear headphones. A leg day so quite some sweating involved. So far much better experience than with in-ears.

Lithuanian truck Vs Latvian road sign 0:1. Latvians win. Sign a bit weirdly angled now, but truck scratched and front bumper partially removed.

After 15 work-amount sets of various kinds of chest presses I can confirm that pump is not a myth.

Inaction is acceptance of the regime, apathy is consent for it to rule with impunity. Protesting is not only a human right, but your responsibility. Refusal to participate is complicity. #georgiaprotests #ukraine
