Doubling down on past mistakes isn't a great way to fix them. :P

But a great way to find out whether it was really a mistake


Status symbols are dumb. :P


Current task: replacing shitty rattling stock fans with Noctua equivalents. :3
in reply to Neil E. Hodges

Well, the fans themselves were swapped without much fanfare, but I did discover that one of the fans in a cooling assembly I put in an adjacent drive bay had a broken wire. While taking the broken fan out, I accidentally broke another fan's wire in the same assembly, so I'm just going to have to replace the whole assembly once the parts show up. :(

It never ends. :'(

Being online mostly gives me anxiety now, so I've been doing it a lot less lately. :3

Thank goodness for transportation business simulation/tycoon games like #TransportTycoon, #OpenTTD, #Sumutrans, and so on. >,:3c

(I even bought @clover and myself an #Anbernic Cube (not the XX) to share for gaming, since games are also stimulating. :P )

Have you tried #SweetTransit? It shares at least one developer with #Factorio and seems like an addictive time sink so I've been avoiding it until I can reward myself at some point, but it is in my list to try after I finish the Factorio DLC. https://youtu.be/A_X2aJGl0W0




Since #YouTube keeps wanting to shove #USpol garbage down my throat, I guess it's time to say goodbye to it, too. :/

If you have to use fear to keep a country from collapsing, you're not running the country correctly. :/



ADAS is basically an admission that these big cars are too difficult for most people to drive. :P





The fact we accept deaths caused by cars as "the price of progress" is pretty gross, especially when that viewpoint has been pushed by the auto industry for decades. :/


Who's excited for the upcoming recession? D:

The 2008 recession why I was able to afford an inner Seattle condo. I am thankful for that to this day.

No way would I voluntarily live in the Hell that is Suburbia. :/






What if #Seattle just ran the City Center Connector #streetcar line down Third, maybe with a branch up to Lower Queen Anne/Uptown? Then the #RapidRide D Line could skip Belltown and LQA entirely to improve its speed and timetable reliability. Maybe even run the streetcar in center lanes shared with buses since it's a #transit corridor already. :3c

(Yes, I know about the trolley wire issue. I'm sure something could be figured out.)

You know how companies are "reshaping" LLMs in response to them producing results they don't like (termed "hallucinations" for marketing purposes), even though the data they trained the LLMs on included at least chunks of whatever resulted in said "bad" results?

Imagine getting a lobotomy every time you said something people didn't like. 0_0

If you say "it's just a computer program", you contradict the marketing that LLMs are able to "think". :P













New #JavaScript L: Map.prototype.forEach() expects the function passed to it to have the arguments in value, key order. :/
