What shall it be for breakfast in the city today… I’m think phó at the minute
Fish…
I haven’t got food at home I need to eat out. What fish can I get in the CBD at 1030?
Do they do pho with fish?
No 😞
Where did you procure this pho? Looks the business
lost my favorite pair of glasses. no worries go to order a replacement, except they don’t do them any more. god damn it now I gotta go start the process all over again!
I get the whole pokemon thing now.
I’ve watched a handful of episodes. Can definitely see how it became so popular.
Bit of an itch to scratch with medical dramas so I tried watching Brilliant Minds. Dear lord this is absolute schlock compared to The Pitt. The direction is cliche, the dialogue is revoltingly bad and Zachary Quinto absolutely can’t act. Terminated
Maybe I should try watching Scrubs some day… maybe that could be my treat when I finish uni.
ER is on iView and it is pretty brilliant tv, especially the first few seasons.
I’ve been thinking about watching it after reading all about how The Pitt is basically the spiritual successor of ER and how that show was the OG premium medical drama…
I absolutely can’t get into a long show until I finish uni though because I can totally see myself avoiding my commitments by binge watching for weeks 🥲
How is The Pitt?
Someone was trying to recommend me to me yesterday at work and told me a little bit about it.
Late reply, it might be a bit triggering if you have had any traumatic experiences in medical settings including the care of others (this is why I haven’t recommended it to my brother). Or cathartic, depending on which phase you’re in…
Lots of high praise from drs about the accuracy of most medical details but also the dynamics and characters, environment etc. To the point that it’s a bit too real and too similar to work so not enjoyable for some haha.
Is it particularly graphic as well?
Oh boy. Some scenes are some of the hardest to watch ever haha I screamed at the TV. They’re not very long though so you can look away and not miss much.
I didn’t know that Baci chocolates come with a quote inside. This one I had was this: “Love life more than its logic, for only then will you grasp its meaning”
Good sirs, if you are going to have the balls to charge 25 dollars for a Calabrese salad then, for the love of god, the tomatoes better not be CRUNCHY. And the cheap arse everyday toms from the supermarket. 😡 It’s only three ingredients FFS.
This is what I get for thinking I am going to have a little early treat because I have been disciplined this year so far. Back to home cooked.
You might have heard about Catch and Rivers, but Millers Fashion Club looks to be closing.
I’m running a local version of the new Deepseek “Ai” and I’m really fucking impressed.
This is a bigger deal than I thought.
Is it actually deepseek or something else?
It’s actual deepseek. Well, a part of it anyway.
Got something interesting for you to look at. I saw it on the news yesterday I think.
Warning:
This might be a little sensitive to some people.
That doesn’t surprise me. Mind you, a few billion dollars were wiped off the share market in the last 2 days so I’m not surprised there’s pushback against this.
Don’t get me wrong, the censorship is fucking awful. But I’d still rather use this than chatgpt because I have complete control over the info I enter into it.
I’m fairly certain you can tweak locally run models to remove the censorship, not that I’d know how. It’s the models running on servers in China (like from the App) which have to follow Chinese laws around this censorship.
Bingo. That’s what I’m working on now. Plus I get to mess around with the ins and outs of the model. Which I’ve never done before.
It’s exciting!
What makes it good?
That’s cool! The fact they’ve released it open source, you can run it locally, and see what/how it’s thinking has made it much more interesting I think than any of the other models. I’ve avoided using any generative AI for a lot of different reasons, but this one I might play with…
I love that it shows you how it thinks. It’s so fascinating.
And I’m the same about generative ai. Have used it for work stuff but just text.
Arrrgh, adaway via VPN is not blocking in-app ads and I am SEETHING - it’s like getting STDs on your phone, these disgusting full screen sound on ads are absolute cancer after decades of blocking ads successfully.
Will need to hope and pray the DNS blocklist method works again later this week
I slept like shit
me too. Second night in a row. Dont know if its cause Im crook or what but my brain is just racing.
Visiting a client today. Always a good time with these guys!
Hopefully a nice easy day. Hopefully…
Not liking the heat wave that’s coming. I think I planted all my stuff way too late
I’m worried so many plants are going to get burnt leaves
maybe I can cover them with an old sheet when the sun is directly on them
Yeah, or maybe some shade cloth?
There are shade cloth triangles you can stretch over an area tying at the corners but you need something to tie it to like a fence. If you don’t you can make a temporary box frame of pipes and drape a sheet over.
I have a cat enclosure I could use for the purpose but it’s too small to use with how I spaced the pumpkins out in the ground. And the tomatoes with their stakes are too tall.
If I could have prepared better and had more money I would have had some kind of plan. I don’t really have the time or energy to sort it out beyond pulling the smaller pots in and giving the bigger/in ground plants water -_-
Loooong day. Just got home & showered. I drove home and don’t feel like I was concentrating at all. You know when you drive on familiar roads and wonder how on earth you got home? I’m that level of exhausted.
I’m having a sleep in tomorrow.
Okay I’m going to officeworks. What pens do you want?
Pastel highlighter and colour pencils please
Erasable ink pens?
The erasable pens please. Make sure the eraser is on both ends please.
Lamy green fountain pen ink?
One of those old pens where you can pick from like a bajillion colours
Edit: this one will do for now
A bottle of purple Windsor & Newton please
Have recently discovered Pilot Juice pens and I looooove them!
Is there any other choice?
I always wanted Derwents in a big wooden box!
Faber Castell all the way for me.
That is an excellent haul 👌🏻
Everyday, I wake up and I feel like I haven’t really woken up until night time. So I go the whole day metaphorically staring into space.
Maybe I need to start taking iron tablets again.
You can get the 100 pack of Maltofer for ≈$53.90 by price matching at Chemist Warehouse at the moment. There’s also a new catalogue starting tomorrow and it might be on special, usually they take it down to $55.
Thank you!!
Bring a box to the CW counter and request a price match for this, should get you the lower price.
Cheers :)
