Wow how do you normally deal with that?
My boss doesn’t do meetings. Every once in a while he approves my vacation request and I get notified it’s approved. Sounds better than it is, but it is better than pointless daily meetings. Adult daycare crap.
I’m learning that even when I’m relatively miserable a good plate of food will make me feel as good as drugs, alcohol or sex. Sam is a smart boy.
What’s loom?
Lol did you really?
I used to leave aspirin on the canker, that burned it away.
make more foam when you brush
I always buy a specific brand toothpaste (turns out it is SLS free) but broke from my routine and bought crest or colgate or something. I use a small amount but I have to empty my mouth of foam midway through brushing. I hate it. Gross.
I also have a canker sore but have been brushing my teeth more often (with the crest) thinking it would help. I guess not.
I have another toothpaste (clinipro) which is not foamy enough, I always feel like I’m running out of toothpaste as I’m brushing.
There are a lot of reasons why Apple would back out. I wish we had more info.
Dennis Villeneuve is currently untouchable in the same way that Christoper Nolan was a few years ago. For whatever reason I meshed with Nolan’s work at the time but I have been completely disenchanted by Villeneuve since Blade Runner.
SCI
I looked this up because it’s new to me. AGI is what you think it is, and superintelligent collective intelligence is a collection that can perform tasks. Instead of 1 LLM or 1 AGI doing all the work, you have a team of agents and humans who can talk to each other. AGI seems like far off space tech and SCI is more like a next gen pursuit.
That’s the conversation I was having with my therapist this week. I don’t know. I’ve always massively struggled with this. Thinking about it sends me into a spiral.
As of now the plan is to look for other opportunities in industry. Some training is fine but I would like to avoid loans. I don’t have anything specific yet, but public sector is likely part of it. I’m less motivated to help people as I am to make certain people miserable. Countries have started to track job quality (“job quality”), it’s data worth looking at.
Depending on how that goes I have other thoughts but nothing that is sucking me in. Maybe I’ll give up entirely and become a vagrant. I also have a viable non-expiring business idea that would de-employ a certain group of people I don’t like. I’m not ready for either of those yet.
In the meantime I have a bucket list of things that I’m working through. It helps me feel like my life has forward momentum despite what’s happening with my career (it’s also opening up new doors I didn’t see before, eg acting). Between that and therapy my job feels often feels like something I’ll deal with later.
It just makes me realize how much I hate what I do for a living.
I’m big into woodworking and routinely stress my joints (it’s all handtools). How bad is this?
I get sharp knee pain from time to time and it’s from a tight IT band. Stretching with a roller (the pain) makes it go away immediately. I’ve had it since I was a young person.
I haven’t noticed any of this yet. The only thing I notice so far about getting older is that there is no chance in hell I’m jumping down a flight of stairs.
For charging and multi-port hubs C. For single device data ports I prefer A. For low power applications I prefer A. I actually prefer everything about A except all the things it can’t do that C can.
The slim side of a USB-A is always ‘up’. That’s the convention. For monitors ‘up’ is usually the side not facing you.
I turned off my cellular. I’d suggest trying that first before jumping into another piece of tech.
The economy is in a weird spot where data looks alright (employment and gdp) but the covid economy hit everyone including your friendly neighborhood corporation. Ads are a simple and reliable way to turn up profits in a soft economy and declining global situation and inflation. Since companies have effectively stolen wages for so many years they can’t cope with modest wage spike on their bottom line or really any disruption anywhere in their business they use ads to print money. Maybe as time goes on business will benefit from slowing wage growth and increasing automation we will see ad growth scale back. Regulation would be nice but what are you going to do?
