Thx so much!

When tech demos and gpu vendors show off new cards with only realistic looking demos (which makes sense! It's a great way to tax gpus), consumers will eventually internalize that as "this is what games should look like". Maybe some chicken and egg problem there tbf tho

Becca got me a guitar kit earlier this year, finally got it all together! Happy with how it come out, learned a lot, and took longer than I expected ofc. Looking forward to continue tweaking things with it, but taking a break now.

Pets are great

I picked up lots of nice things at gen con but my favorite was this "Harmonize" art by @dannyschwartzart.bsky.social, what a treasure!

"no hidden fees" now I can feel good about this purchase

In a less imperfect world, Musk and Trump would be forever cast as killers of children, and this would be front-page news for months and the subject of Sunday sermons in every church.

Got married two weeks ago and it was a great day 🎉

The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers.

AI companies are killing the open web by stealing visitors from the sources of information and making them pay for the privilege

Finding this out on a Saturday of a holiday weekend is particularly frustrating, insurance/vendors/etc all closed until Tuesday

My wedding is three weeks from today, and we just found out our venue was hit by a tornado last week. We can no longer use the building. Fs in the chat

Two black cats, one curled up with eyes half open, the second resting his head on the head of the first

Started off bad but "automated decision systems" covers basically everything and would be really, really bad

We have blood root growing along our driveway and I finally got a picture of it (mostly) in bloom

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

Setting my alarm for 2:40am so I can plant some starters during peak blood worm moon

I haven't agreed with a number of Senator Slotkin's votes and statements, but the virtual town hall she just finished hosting felt fairly transparent and informative. Stay active, stay engaged with your representatives, tell them what's important to you and what you want them to do about it.

Uncle is normally more adventurous but Auntie out-foxed him this time

Can't believe I completely missed that reference, it's not even that subtle now that I recognize it - but I also never made a presentation on Halo lore

Our doggo past away last night after a pretty sudden turn, she was 11.5 years. Harper was such an important part of our family. She truly loved our cats and was a great companion to them. Becca & I are devastated, and this week has been hard and complicated. Take care of the ones you love.

A few photos from last weekend in Hocking Hills

A small, golden, vase shaped trophy with a plaque that reads "biggest brother November 2024"

Had an incredible weekend! Rented an Airbnb and a friend setup a whole Big Brother weekend. 7 contestants, 3 days, 10 games, and in the end I made it to final two and won the tribunal vote 3-2 🏆

Today I drove past a building that said "Vibe Credit Union", finally an economy I can get behind

I've been wanting a height adjustable monitor stand and height adjustable saw horses (saw latter on IG). Becca has gotten really into pottery so we need more shelves to store stuff that's drying. I'll check out that link more since I have a few basic tools but recs for next steps would be helpful

These look awesome! I'm hoping to start a bit more hobby woodworking soon (and guitar repair), would be thrilled to achieve these forms and finishes.
