So the rather dark assertion attached comes from a speech to text app I use for my hearing disability. It's in #French and it goes to show. I have a really bad anglophone accent.
There's an affirmation I use frequently to help me through times where I need a boost. This isn't it. 👇

So first day back after holidays and here is how it's going so far. My to do list. First 3 are #Python programs. Prices Data collection, an ETL program for a Resorts daily data, and trying to get PyTorch working on my work desktop. Typical #DataNerd stuff.
As for the last one. Hardaway is on loop

Ok so #Physics question here the ice cube tray shown below is a silicone ice cube tray. I noticed one of the cubes had developed a spine on it. Since the tray was filled by hand and placed on a shelf in the fridge there is no water pouring into it. Any thoughts on what caused this?

You ever had a visceral reaction to a song when it comes on you just can't control it? Happened to me for the first time tonight and I thought I could tell the story but every time I tried to type it out I just ended up in tears. So obviously not ready yet to talk about the loss. #MentalHealth

My ex, who lives in #Haarlem, NL, sent me this pic of a container of eggnog made in #Luxembourg. Part of my mom's side of the family is from there.
Anyway I had to laugh because I saw the #French and started translating it in my head. Then look up and see the English. My eyes totally skipped it.

Came to a realization that today, I realized that eleven years ago when my life was falling apart and my wife of 18 years was telling me there was someone else. Is in the past. I have grown stronger but I've also learned that in that power to forgive, I have to include myself. #SelfLove #heartbreak

Still a bit scratchy compared to my other one, but then again still brand new so I haven't beaten it into submission yet.
I had to restart the O in Olivia a couple times before I got it flowing.
