Time series modelling is consistently asking yourself "where have I fucked up" when the predictions are good

I remembered my login! 🎉

I got them from Military1st (ick name but good range?). Brandit Tactical Boots

I have wanted boots with quick laces and no zip 😄

A new pair of combat boots that don't have a footpad made of concrete? Bliss. My calves, hips and lower back are so relaxed right now 🫠

Tale old as time 😄

Am I hungover or coming down with something? Por che no los dos? 😅

What's happened to me? Home by 11 on a Saturday. Currently eating string beans while waiting for dumplings, broccoli and peas to steam.

Actually, NM. I'm content here

The inertia to get ready for work is overwhelming

I'm going to sleep with my blinds open. Will I be woken up by sunshine or my own internal demons screaming at 3am so I'm not able to sleep until sunrise? Who knows? 😅

Unrelated, I don't understand how folks without a nesting partner sleep in the middle of the bed. I've always had a side

Oh look, I finally chose a line with something (queer enby agnostic joke there)

Why does future / past Tupal look like Yoda
#20YearsTooLate

I never imagined a large part of my current life would consist of looking up second hand rugs on the internet

TIL a vacuum power head doesn't work on polished concrete and now I need to resort to a broom like a peasant

Also "Vacuum power head doesn't work on polished concrete" is IMO an awesome name for an Avant Garde funk jazz meets grindcore band who specialise in songs about Sanrio characters

Far too much tape but no string 😔

Asking a shower head to tell me its secrets was not on my bingo card for today...

"Where did my tea escape to" is not an utterance I ever expected to say

I was concerned about moving close to a train line. I'm now concerned about just how comforting I find the sound of trains going passed

TIL that at the age of 42 I can still potentially change careers to cat burglar if I'd like 🎉

Today I forgot the words aluminium foil and found the closest semantic approximation in my brain was "crackle paper"

And I ain't mad about it at all

Fun fact, the one at South Melbourne was cheap ($30 per mattress)

I'm going to buy myself a tagine as a housewarming gift 👌

Does researching the cheapest recycling centre to take mattresses to make me adult now?

Sometimes, just sometimes, I get nostalgic for when AI (in the bubble term that subsumes statistical, ML and neural net based methods like Cronus devouring his children) was called pattern recognition

What in the actual fuck?

Sugar soap, how I love you.

Blue cheese fuelled dreams

It is past midday. My time for tea has ended 😔

One of the greatest validations in adult life is to move the couch that has been in the same position for nearly 5 years to find the carpet underneath is the same colour as the rest of the carpet.

I like that the Borderlands movie holds true to the time honoured tradition of horrible video game to movie adaptions.

Well done for keeping traditions alive 🙏
