Huh. Old school friend (who I lost touch with and have tried to find in and off) friended me on FB and asked me to a mumble year school reunion.
Would love to catch up with her, but as for the other? I’d rather remove my own epidermis with a potato peeler.School reunions - yeah, removing skin with a rusty lid of a tin can would be preferable.
I dreamt that I was filling in for Nine Inch Nails guitarist. Also we fought crime lol
Um, which crime? This has me fascinated.
Mostly assaults and home invasions.
Fucking weird dream.
TIL about AI generated books, some of which are dangerous. These mushroom hunting books are wrong and could kill. So what other fake books are out there?
I always thought the machines would do the labour, and the people would make the art. Yet here we are.
It’s absolutely being used to avoid employing or paying people. Or giving them ‘editing’ jobs for a fraction of the pay.
Internet Archive also lost its copyright case. So generative AI/LLMs get to access and to take everything but humans aren’t allowed to have an archive of resources that would otherwise be lost.
Seriously fuck this corporate netscape
That fucking sucks. I’ve relied on internet archive a lot in the past. Wish I had enough storage to grab parts of it before they got taken down.
They haven’t been taken down but they did lose access to 500,000 books.
I’m feeling in the mood for nice 90s movies… Just watching Grosse Pointe Blank (TEN YEARS!!! TEN YEARS, MAN!!) and it’s great fun. Any other recommendations for something similarly silly and nostalgic?
Lebowski
Happy Gilmore
10 things I Hate About You
Hook. Hackers.
Portuguese-style sardines don’t taste any different to any other sardines in oil. There, bang, I said it.
Got a phishing message impersonating auspost coming from the democratic republic of the Congo
Found it funny because when something that seems like it should be Australian wasn’t, my mum would always say something like “what do you mean the milk is only 93% Australian? Where’s the rest of it coming from? The bloody Congo?”
I also had one come from Yemen a few weeks ago. That was a funny one.
Anywho I cracked into my study today. I’ve got the knowledge to complete my first assessment now, I’m about 75% done, probably got about an hour left on it. I don’t know about the others because I haven’t started them yet, but I’ve got another 3 weeks to do those. Although we start on the next unit tomorrow, so I don’t want to get left behind. They look to be longer than the first one, and one of them is a case study, the other a research report. So the one I’m working on now is probably the easiest of the lot (just basic written questions)
CHRISTMAS DECO ALREADY?!
Clearly just big fans of the Nightmare Before Christmas. That way it’s still Halloween themed.
Fuck off, Halloween first!
I went to Love Lombard in Preston today for Christmas crackers in the colour that I require. They have an absolute fuckload of Halloween stuff if you’re interested. Floating heads in crystal balls, all manner of skulls, vampire rats like WTF, living dead girls and so on.
Christmas decos go up the first Saturday or Sunday of December and come down the first Saturday or Sunday of January
Ha. Mine go up the final week before Christmas if that and the tree Christmas Eve, and down around the 6th January.
I used to be an up Chrissy eve, down boxing day type of person, but other people didn’t like that, so I let it exist for a month now
Goodness me. Fell asleep early and only woke up once. Been awhile since I’ve been able to sleep so soundly.
The US Open Men’s Doubles final is on now on Nine Go (ch99) if you want some entertainment with your breakie- Aussies Purcell and Thompson are a pretty good chance.
Oh ok. I’ve just put it on. Thanks!
Going on another ride with the bicycle users group today. My plan is to get to the meeting place early so the boys can have a bit of out of pram time before we head off
Onions on top today. North Eastern Melbourne Chinese Association are cowboys living on the edge of society
Irl cake day somehow sucked worse than the one I literally spent in ER with a 10% chance of survival. seriously thinking of moving the date and blocking what pathetic scraps of family i have left
Buy yourself a cake and b’day present. That’s what I used to do.
Lemmit is your family now 🎂
An internet sugar offering not-hug thing
I’m so sorry you had a crap time. Sending birthday wishes and all the happiness for you. Can you do something special to treat yourself and help cancel it out?
Eh at this point i could go either/or.
That’s rough. Also sending you bday wishes.
Do it! You don’t need toxic in your life. Happy birthday anyway. I hope next year’s is better for you. ♥
Happy birthday Taleya -hugs-
Uh, it’s not today
Made you a little something
Thanks
I counted 7 frying pans. 2 cast iron (1 flat, 1 griddle) 1 steel/aluminium (Idfk), 1 small for toasting nuts, 2 that go in the oven with a lids (1 large, 1 small) and one I use all the time. Plus a wok. I need to make decisions but maybe not today.
If you’re wondering why it’s raining, I’ve fired up the BBQ.
I watered my garden, so also bear some responsibility
I took the other chair down to the terrace to be sanded and painted . Sorry.
I’m so frustrated about my health and living situation. I was never hugely sporty but did like walking and tai chi and would love the energy/chance to garden. I’d love to be exercising and prepping good meals.
Even just getting away from the toxic elements of where I live would be amazing.
