I had friends in college that were fanatical about it, the TV room in the student union was always packed when it was on.

One of our food motivated cats used to sometimes start eating her own vomit (we’d stop her of course). I guess she figured she would put it right back where it came from.

Aw crap. I got it at SDCC this year, first time, despite masking. Take care!

My employer is forcing AI down our throats, its now annoyingly embedded via Copilot into Office 365. We’ve used it a few times for laughs to generate ridiculous-sounding emails to each other. Other than that I have zero use for it. It would slow me down.

Having just had covid, that last item on the list qualifies because getting it again is a higher risk.

1988 or so, a rented β€œIBM” compatible computer with an amber monitor and 2 5.25 floppy drives. Owned was in 1989, also an β€œIBM”, color monitor (!), 40 MB hard drive, 3.5 and 5.25 in drives. It cost like $1000 and I had to get a bank loan to afford it πŸ˜‚

Been masking past 5 years and am mad I caught it first time 2 weeks ago. Was immediately + when symptoms started. Paxlovid knocked symptoms down within three days and am feeling better but still testing +. Been masking/isolating at home to keep wife from getting it.

The internet didn’t even exist in 1986, and I was still preparing my college papers on a typewriter.

Ikea chair covered with a sheet, a cat bed, and a towel on the back. No longer functions as a human chair.

Yes I see it. I dont know if AI is at fault, but we write many reports (env. field) and us senior folks see a lot of copy/paste between reports without review for context. One time I saw total copy of geology writeup from one site to another (diff geol) despite me providing the geologic maps.

Yes, driving home tonight was an endless parade of these blinding LED headlights (even on cars), they’re so dangerous.

Came in the bedroom and found them like this 😻. Highly unusual for them to all be hanging out together. This is Bells, Riley, and Jetson.
