I swear Doom needs end credits, and this needs to be the triumphant theme tune!
I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

It was quite good, but it did take 35 guesses to reach Alan B'Stard, MP for Haltemprice, with the biggest majority in The Commons. So that's 35 billion possibilities...

Akinator, the mind reading genie
Akinator can read your mind and tell you what character you are thinking of, as if by magic. Think of a real or fictional character, answer few questions, and Akinator will try to guess who it is. Wil...

I had a dream last night where I was using liquid egg in a 3D printer. I could create wonderful shapes in egg, and the print element would cook it.
Off to the patent office with this one!!

Went to see #TrainspottingLive last night, at the Edinburgh Festival. I didn't really know what to expect when I went in, but it was a brilliant show, with a great cast.
A thoroughly enjoyable way to watch a persistent, unrelenting downward spiral into drug-fueled misery. Highly recommended!

I worked for a Financial Adviser in the past. I did the IT, and I did it very well. I didn't do the financial advice side of things.
That company closed into Administration in February 2012. I received a letter yesterday to say that the liquidation is complete. After 12.5 years. 1/2

The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...?
So incredulity aside, what about the list itself?

Spent the day rewiring the electrics in the garden, raising and laying slabs. In a heatwave. I'm a big, sweaty mess. And I'm still waiting for a circuit breaker to finish the job.
It was basically sea water draining from the shower.
So that was a relaxing day off work...
Job well done, though!
