GenAI? In my open source database tool?
(Arguably, this is one case where it may be of use - business users wanting to analyze their data without having to study SQL or the DB schema - but there's a big chance of creating unoptimized queries. Not to mention the whole resource usage of LLMs thing.)

I was obsessed with Star Wars when I was 15. I remember seeing The Phantom Menace as a child, but it was an airing of Return of the Jedi on TV that completely sucked me in.
With a pirated copy of After Effects, I learned how to create lightsaber effects and recreated the famous opening crawl.

2. When I ride on Elliptical Road, I do vehicular cycling. The width of the road and the slip lanes encourage speeding and last minute exits, making it hard to cross intersections using the bike lanes. So I just ride in traffic.

Made some bad decisions last week.
1. Biked to dinner and then to my friend's house with my trifold, reasoning that I could fold it and bring it inside places. While true, the roads in the area were awful and I couldn't see too well in the dark. Then I decided to ride home at 3AM, on empty streets.

Passed through the massive expanse of concrete that is the Bocaue Toll Plaza and noticed the billboards facing in different directions, as if to make sure that at least one of them catches a passerby's eye.

Most software doesn't need this level of urgency. I can tell that this is a terrible boss.

In slightly more relevant news, Spanic visited the Philippines in 2000, during the big telenovela boom, and volunteered to campaign for... Manny Villar??

This might actually be one of my favorite moments this year. Cycling in a small town, no pressure to get to the next destination, drinks at night. With the usual bike friends, but everyone is fresh and clean, unlike when you go out on rides.

Clicking noise when pedaling. Crank bolts were loose. Also got the bottom bracket repacked for good measure

Nice short ride at midnight after getting my trifold fixed. I had my phone playing music in my pocket and I could hear it clearly thanks to the absence of cars!

Area 2, UP Diliman could've been a good third place. Homey and relatively affordable for students. But drivers insist on passing through, and the administration is building a mall next door, threatening the local businesses.

Good night out with friends, bikes, and old music
Always wanted to check out this place for its vibes. Thanks to the people who made time on a Christmas season payday Friday!

Bimodality was really tested tonight.
I planned on taking the train to my destination, then pedalling back home. However, the rear tire went flat right as I got to where I was supposed to go. Thankfully, I was only 1 km away from the nearest station, and so I walked, catching the last train.

Wanted to visit a few places before taking it on the train. However, I had to pass through this horrible highway first. That strip of white paint is supposed to denote a bike lane, but buses and trucks don't care about that at all.

I'm not an hipster... I'm just an oldhead 💀 and the music I love is popular in other countries, just not here.
Very, very hard to find people my age in the same area with similar tastes

Watched Office Space again, this time with friends on a Friday evening after work. Once again, reminded of its brilliance due to being extremely, disturbingly relatable.

Okay, they actually aren't the exact same.
Soon after Adolescent's Orquesta released their album, Persona Ideal, the original singers left. But the group was about to tour. So they rerecorded the vocals with the new singers and re-released it.
Every release since has featured the new version.

No need to wait for Spotify Wrapped. Thanks to Last.fm I can access my listening stats at any time.
Not 2 and 10 being the exact same song (but recorded separately due to different titles on the albums they were on) and 3, 5, and 6 being live versions 💀

Why are there so many mixed use developments in this area - Eastwood, Bridgetowne, Parklinks, ArcoVia, etc - tht are all connected by only one road, C-5 - making that traffic there so much worse?
Not to mention them being heavily at risk when a big earthquake strikes.
