There is a special circle of hell for campervan drivers going 40mph in a 60, with HUNDREDS of cars in a queue behind them and NOT PULLING OVER. ARGH.

I’ve got a degenerative eye condition called Keratoconus that means my eyes take in a lot of extra light that my brain is constantly working to undo - and a side effect of that is persistent migraines (10% of days I have a migraine). So they’ve got me on these FL-41 lenses to help with that.
And they work! But I look like an Elton John knock off now 🤣

This James Bond game has the STUPIDEST bug I’ve seen in a long time - get to the end of the opening credits then complains I need to download content and boots me back to menu. As far as I can tell everything is downloaded. So dumb 🤣

@nprofile…5wht my first gig had two Colin’s so I named them small Colin and tall Colin (think it’s a throwback to Gaelic where everyone is named this way!).
Small Colin was 6’2” and never that thrilled about the name!

@nprofile…hm63 Hugo is mostly fine. One thing I dislike is that updating the core executable means updating the theme and sometimes random shit changes pointlessly.
I just don’t update anymore.

I've been messing around with some job pool stuff - does anyone have a good example thing I can benchmark that'd let me plug my custom job pool into it and get perf numbers?

@nprofile…xlvy I’m betting it’ll take years for this one to go boom. At least until a lot more money is on the ground in rapidly depreciating GPUs. (And now I’ve stated my position it’ll explode in a few hours of course!)

@nprofile…xlvy @nprofile…9xup as someone who has a bairn - we weren’t actually told to microdose peanuts like the papers suggest. I’m giving the wee man peanut butter in small doses though!

Did Trump just make a joke that he could declare a war in 2 years to stay in office? Not sure I heard it right…

@nprofile…gvnm I do this at work and when I’m feeling down I can always look and say “hey I worked on a bunch of hard stuff!” which gives me a boost!

Before starting paternity leave: “I’ll get so much stuff done with my two months off!”.
Currently two weeks into paternity leave: “I’m so happy I managed to get dressed AND showered today!”.

@nprofile…gvnm @nprofile…96u7 definitely worth a watch. One of the best new shows.
As a cinematography nerd some of the shots are fantastic.

It’s kinda wild that Apple makes Severance given the parallels you can draw between Lumon and Apple.

I know there is a general hostile view about AI tools amongst this community, but I’ve got to say that on my open source projects using them as a rubber duck that isn’t as dumb as an actual rubber duck has become quite common for me.
I think the fact that I’m working on these alone, and at weird hours when I have the time, lends itself to having an on demand eager buddy to shoot the shit with.

@nprofile…gvnm yeah some old wivey here said that to me 10 years ago when I got Benji “You’ll never eat alone again” and it was true.
She also said that by about 13 collies calm down a bit - and I can confirm that at 10 with a dodgy heart and epilepsy Benji still hasn’t calmed one iota!

@nprofile…gvnm 5 years since you’ve eaten alone I take it?! Congrats man! She’s a good dog.
