On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,
"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Using python to batch change over 100 Excel files before going to bed at 630. Talk about living it up on Valentine's Day and a Friday night! 😎

What’s that one episode of Twilight Zone where something weird is going on, and some people are like, this is weird, but then at the end, there’s aliens or robots or some such shit

Why spend 30 minutes manually entering data for something when you can spend 2 hours trying to automate it and *then* resign yourself to manually doing it anyway?

One of the big topics of discussion that I've seen in communities I follow on here is AI. AI doesn't magically get data--it has to be trained, sorted and processed. Large tech companies have been training AI by exploiting vulnerable workforces overseas. This story from 60 minutes is eye opening.

We went to the beach with some friends and we saw a lone husky dog run by while we were sitting around a campfire making s’mores and now we don’t know which one of us is the Thing.

I just told the Grinch he had a "juicy caboose-y" while putting a microphone on him. How's everyone else's morning going? 😳

I really wanted to try this tutorial by @milos-makes-maps.bsky.social because I thought the results looked so cool. I decided to try to do it using my home state of Michigan! Great Lakes state is looking good! youtu.be/piswxAEwnYo

Sitting down at my usual workstation, I decided to do a little clean up of clips and other files. I noticed I had a random drive mounted. I unmounted it, then proceeded to spend 5 minutes looking though the million dongles and hubs trying to figure out where the hell it physically was. #videoediting

This is really cool!
In case you didn't know - apols to those who've seen these before! - I also make #chocolate copies of artefacts.
Often, I only make something once, just for challenge. My rules - must be 100% edible & no internal/external props or supports.
Here's some I made earlier, as they say...
