We’ve been back to the Metallica Blood Drive venue a couple of times now to volunteer during the blood drive and to donate blood. Each time I visit, I’m thoroughly enamored with the unique and captivating nature of Metallica artwork. Metallica is known for hiring local artists to create original posters and T-shirts for cities on their tour. They not only support local talent, but they personalize their merch for their local audience by incorporating local culture and icons.The posters and…

Isn’t it a weird twist of fate that one of life’s cruelest paradox is that the more you want something, the more you are likely to get in your own way and the likelier outcome is that you are unlikely to satisfy that want? I had a clear example of this recently - out of nowhere - I got a chance to try out for a really interesting gig. I never really wanted this gig until I got the opportunity. And I prepared hard - but as expected - I also wanted it bad. And sure enough, I tripped up at the…

Flight was delayed over 14 hours (!) but it allowed me to have lunch with Silu. No complaints! The post Lunch with Silu appeared first on @Kevuhnn / 📸 / 📚 / 🇨🇦.

🍿 The Royal Tenenbaums could have come out last week and would still be groundbreaking. The Grand Budapest Hotel is my Wes Anderson favorite, but by being a notch or two less Andersonian, Tenenbaums make for a better movie.

I've been wondering whether this is possible because, if it is, then it potentially simplifies the development of new operating systems for PC-type computers. It turns out that it is (kind-of) possible, but practical applications are likely to be limited.

These screenshots come from the Netflix adaptation of the book The Love Hypothesis. And they are the cheesiest way ever to describe Type I and Type II errors. 1. Screenshots courtesy of my pal Dr. Jordan Wagge.2. I dramatically read this interaction to my class and recommend that you do the same.

“This will enable you to move from exploring an idea to having ChatGPT carry it through, all in one place. You can bring in your files and plugins and ask ChatGPT to build a website, create a presentation, or do things for you on the web, while reviewing and guiding its work. Codex will remain a separate experience in the ChatGPT desktop app,” the email said. OpenAI also said with this transition, both ChatGPT and Codex will draw tokens from the same allowance pool. It said this change won’t…

Autumn is such a lovely season – I know I say it each and every year the comfort of warming soups and stews and layers of soft clothing – scarves and mittens, coats and blankets, all gathered out of summer storage and aired, ready to cosily envelope and warmly delight on chilly days the beauty of the countryside as the trees transform their leaves to bronze, copper, scarlet and gold in preparation for a time of dormancy and rest through the harshness of winter Falling leaves and fallen trees,…

Executive Summary: RMIT research has found that as few as 40 extra full-time train drivers could massively increase the number of train stations enjoying off-peak service every 10 minutes or better, making the network more resilient and better connected. SNAMUTS maps have become a recognised measure to see how cities are progressing to maximise the proportion of residents near reasonable public transport. Cluster people around a station, extend a train line or upgrade bus frequency and the…

TL;DR: It's been six weeks, so we're playing catch-up once again. Between work travel that left me longing for a shipping chrysalis, I turned my public bookmarks into a static site, spun up a basement Git forge, survived an October Hellraiser binge, and assembled a Halloween mixtape. Spoopy season This post is a little late for it, but October is always my excuse to wallow in spooky media and gloomy synthpop. On the music front, I put together a new Halloween mixtape, From the Moor to the…

Journal A few days with no rain forecast so we started work waterproofing the front of the shed today. The storms the other week made it clear this was going to need to be sorted before the winter properly kicks in and I’d figured out a way to do it slowly without too much exertion. There’s now a strip of felt stapled to the height extension we had put in which should direct any horizontal rain down to the rabbit run. Fingers crossed for the next storm. Get yer links Have the experts who…

[This is a guest post by Karthik C. S., Amit Sahai, and Jie Xue. This blog post was initially written in a different file format and converted using AI. — T.] This is a good time for mathematicians to think carefully about the purpose of their work. The development of artificial intelligence brings that question before us with unusual force. Much of the discussion concerns which tasks machines will perform and which abilities will remain distinctively human. But our response also depends on a…

Once you tear your eyes away from the gorgeous whitewater of the Selway river, there are plenty of smaller, quieter scenes full of delight. Gentle waters, old growth ponderosas, flowers, river cobbles, artistic high-water flotsam…. the toads are especially wonderful!

The Stan Smith started out in the mid 60s named after French tennis player Robert Haillet. It was the first leather tennis shoe, dreamt up by Adi Dassler's son Horst and made in Landersheim in France. Adidas later put an American player, Stan Smith, on the tongue, and for a few years the shoe carried his face next to Haillet's name. Haillet's name finally came off in 1978.The Superstar came out in 1969 as a basketball shoe. The rubber toe was there so seven foot men with size 16 feet didn't…

it has cookedReady to unclamp and see how things look. Spoiler alert - all the joint lines were tight and glue free. I hadn't forgotten to clean up glue squeeze out after I clamped it.Miller DowelsI think these are the 1X size and I'm using two at each end. My only choices were birch (these four) and cherry. As far as I know Miller doesn't have poplar dowels.nopeI used a half pattern to layout the end detail and it is off. The left side is over twice the size of the right. This would look like…

It’s cold, breezy, drizzly – standard weather for an evening in early November just outside Cambridge. But, the moth trap is on and there’s been an early visitor – The Gem. A small brown moth, one of the geometers, which they know as inchworms in the US. This species is not common in the UK. It arrives from The Continent, or more specifically Southern Europe or North Africa. This specimen of Nycterosea obstipata, a female, had lots of scales missing from its wings and if it could be described…

# Introduction Someone told me about "data fountains" two years ago, and I wanted to try them since then. The problem is that I do not understand the theory behind them at all. So I took the lazy path and asked an LLM to write a small tool for me, then I played with it until I understood what it does in practice. This blog post presents this small project of the day. I want to be clear from the start, this is a shitty project, it is only for educational purpose and it does not bring anything…

Looks Unfamiliar with Tim Worthington talking to Mark Thompson about Secret Valley, Ley My People Go-Go by The Rainmakers, The Grimleys, Whatever Happened To Harold Smith?, Where Did It All Go Right? by Andrew Collins, Britain's Best Drives With Richard Wilson, Sarah Millican's Support Group, the mysterious absence of Cherish by The Association from the Pretty In Pink soundtrack album and more...!

I continue to experiment with my Linux-based ThinkPad. I’m coming to grips with software, having found a nice (and free) writing app called GhostWriter. It’s not quite as nice as the IA Writer on my Mac, but it’s still pretty good. I’m using it now to write this post. On the hardware side, I was disappointed with the ThinkPad's trackpad. Tapping didn’t work much of the time, forcing me to resort to full-on clicks. So I replaced it with a glass one that cost $60 from Ali Express. Replacement was…

My Pook-Emu Bee link backlog is growing with my continued failure to publish daily link collections. It is time to turn the tide. Hardware in Sam Altman’s World 1 | OpenAI CEO says it’s ‘quite terrible’ for your PC to have RAM — Sam Altman says data centers offer better utilization (Andrew E. Freedman for Tom’s Hardware. Oct. 30, 2026.) I think I have ~200 GB of removable DDR4 and DDR3 ram between my working computers and old laptops. I will give it all to Sam Altman so he is not sad. 2 |…

I really enjoyed it! Folk horror, a bit comedy, good characters, amazing location. Well done! Rating: 👏Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!

I don't know the ins and outs of the AO3 situation and this isn't about that. I think AO3 is a miracle but this potentially weeks-long outage is a reminder about the putting of all the eggs in one basket. A while ago I started posting some supplementary fic materials on a site of my own and thought about putting up the full fic when it was finished. This situation is definitely lighting a fire under me. When I started out reading fic (1998 time) it was all over - on forums, on authors' own…

This morning, I needed to be out of the house for a bit. I mentally fumbled through potential "landing" spaces and settled on a local coffee shop. As I prepared to leave home, I became less enthusiastic about my decision. I'd already made coffee for my wife and was sneaking a cup for myself. Settling into the shop (lovely as it may be) would mean spending money on a drink I didn't really want, and definitely didn't need. So, I poured my coffee into a to-go cup, grabbed my backpack, and headed…

🎃🎃🎃 3/5 Stars - a bit of Halloweeny fun! The post A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny appeared first on The Wallflower Digest.

We had our quarterly (?) art friend call and did this drawing template with our ocs. Super fun and cute!! 5 friends in their 30s all struggling with how rusty we are at drawing lol. reply via email: hello@fiddery.com

I've made a lot of new friends recently, and I really like them. I have fun hanging out with them. It makes me happy. After a group hangout, when the night settles down, my mind spins and spins. Replaying things they said, things I said, analyzing my feelings, etc. I've also been talking to a woman - a crush - recently. I had asked her out, mainly because I just found her so super cute. We've been talking online but haven't met yet. I think I really like her - I don't really know until we spend…

Guys. I think my emotions are finally here, and I don't like it. Take them away. On a different note I had quite a lousy day. I went to the gym, was hyper aware of all women in it and questioning to what extent we get sexualised. I thought breaking up would improve those kinds of thoughts but it has just made me more scared of other people and how they view the world. In my relationship, not all the time, but a lot of the time I felt happy in my bubble of viewing people as human, and feeling…
