I have dogs. More accurately my dogs have a human valet, if you do not want 40 million pictures of dogs this is not a feed for you.
I also like wandering around looking at trees.
I’m not here to argue, debate club clowns get blocks.

I will not say I am fine, but Chloe and I are home again. Thank god fasting for Chloe, she is burping after her much-delayed dinner and the noise is a welcome bit of normality.
I promised Vivi when she came home I would love her forever. I did my best.
A little white greyhound on her first day at my house. Her eyes are merry and full of mischief.

I was literally coming into the thread to say ‘I know perfectly well there is an identical one on another radiator nearby but that one is the one they’re decided is the best one.’

My cats do the same thing, although they’re slightly larger than yours. 😂
White greyhound looking sulkily at her sister the brindle greyhound who is fast asleep in the big round bed. Not pictured behind the white dog is a perfectly identical bed but it is apparently not the best bed, for reasons no human can perceive.

“But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side,”

Möther I am not comfy I am going to be very passive aggressive and sigh loudly many times until you fix my cushion back.
Brindle greyhound looking mournful as she has to lie on only most of the couch seat, some of it taken up by the back couch cushion she pulled onto its side and tried to lie on

The next one in the order of my box set is the one where the Billy Idol looking Number 2 plots an assassination of Number 2.

Look I know that RFK won’t see me saying mean things about him but all my friends who look like fucking cancerous zombie versions of my great aunt Arlene’s 1967 Coach sling will, but my god if that’s true please stop tanning, friends, and spend a couple months in a vat of moisturizer.
That fucking most useless shitty member of the useless shitty kennedys, RFK jr, looking like a microcephalic profoundly aged garbage pail kid with cataract-fogged eyes and deeply-veined oxblood colored skin looking like a depilated ballsack with a Mr fucking potato head nose and ears glued on.

I know this is a problematic statement but making up imaginary friends & making decisions based on what your imaginary friends say & believe is totally insane.

Like is this not borderline schizotypal behavior???
Schumer says that he is accompanied everywhere he goes by two imaginary middle-class friends, who advise him on all manner of middle-class concerns. Their names, until recently, were Joe and Eileen O'Reilly. "For the book's sake, we wanted them to be more national," Schumer said, "so they became the Baileys." The Baileys live in Massapequa, in Nassau County, a town that is invariably known on Long Island as "Matzoh-Pizza." The Baileys are both forty-five years old: Joe works for an insurance company, Eileen is a part-time employee at a doctor's office. They worry about terrorism, and about values, and they are patriots -"Joe takes off his cap and sings along with the national anthem before the occasional Islanders game," " Schumer wrote. He elaborated, "They're not ideologues. They're worried about property taxes. It's the tax they hate. And that's what Democrats don't get." He has also drafted the Baileys in defending the C.I.A.'s human-intelligence program: "Had Joe and Eileen been in the room after the hum-int screwup, they would not have indulged in the blame game, gutted the human-intelligence program, or weakened America." The Baileys, Schumer said, sometimes dine out-not often, because of the cost— and they like Chinese. Which raised the question: What would the Baileys eat, if they were here at Hunan Dynasty? "The more conventional stuff," Schumer said, "but they're with it."

When I ask “hey I know this is a very bad look that I have to ask, but who owns our overall IT strategy?” it’s an even worse look for our company that I’m told “yeah there really isn’t one.”
Good job the tiny spoons I ordered arrived to cheer me up.
Six demitasse spoons (4 inches) that are severely plain with no scrolling or detail, flat bowls but well arched handles)

It occurred to me that having a largely cream colored rug right by the back door as we enter Mud season is a rookie move.

I can’t go full dark rug though just to keep it from being too gloomy even for a dark loving winn.
New rug for the dining room with an intense dark teal background and blurred pink and grey green pattern.

Where they differed from all the other AI startups is they didn’t start out by exploiting people in poorer countries to do this, but I’m sure they’ve “fixed” that now.

Sam Udotong in • 2nd Co-founder & CTO at Fireflies.ai 21h • Edited • + Follow *** We charged $100/month for an Al that was really just two guys surviving on pizza. We scaled Fireflies to a $1B valuation after 6 failures from our original crypto food delivery idea. Nothing motivates you more than the pressure of living month to month with no safety net. Before I explain how 2 broke guys validated a $1B idea, you need to understand we were couch surfing while desperately chasing our entrepreneurial dreams. An Al notetaker was our last hope after 6 ideas our friends claimed were "genius". The best way to validate your business idea is by becoming the product yourself. We told our customers there's an "Al that'll join a meeting." In reality it was just me and my co-founder calling in to the meeting sitting there silently and taking notes by hand. When customers scheduled a meeting, we'd manually dial in as "Fred from Fireflies.ai" We'd sit there silently, take detailed notes, and send them 10 minutes later. After taking notes for 100+ meetings (and falling asleep in many), we were finally able to make enough money to pay the $750/month rent for a tiny SF living room. That was the point when we said let's stop and automate everything, in 2017. Since then, security, privacy, and data protection became foundational to everything we built (see my other posts). The best prototype was 2 guys surviving on pizza. Validation before automation saved us from our 7th failure. Follow for more unconventional stories about how we built Fireflies to what it is today.

CRIMINAL VAGRANTS DETECTED BY HEROIC LOCAL HOUNDS

Thanks to Jerry’s artarama for (with some tiny tweaks) making a fresh to death portable writing desk.

SHE DIDN’T EVEN SAY HIS NAME LOLOL
Tweet from Joyce Carol Oates “So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world."”

Here is my favorite quote about animals from Henry Beston’s The Outermost House.
From Henry Beston, The Outermost House: A Year of Life On The Great Beach of Cape Cod “We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.”
