Cracked the foundation models guardrail; grateful to permissiveContentTransformations.

WWDC 2019 was my first trip outside my city, my first international trip. I literally had to make a passport for it and get a US visa in 2 months!

At 51 hours, it became my most played game on PS5. I do not think I will go for platinum. Maybe some other month.
For now, I will boot up XSX for Cyberpunk 2077

Life has been just game and sleep lately so I signed up for a 5K in 4 weeks.
Today was the first day of training. Walked to the park, a bit of run/walk and then back.

Another surreal sunset that I experienced.
The wind at the top of Burj Khalifa, and failing to conquer my fear of heights at 152th floor was worth it.
