I would've gone to bed earlier tonight

I've a tattoo based on that show

I had a little pen knife that was great for small stuff like opening packages and cutting string. I lost it maybe a year ago. A replacement is maybe $10 but I liked that one :/

I'd also be pleasantly surprised to find some data I know I have saved but cannot find

I may be signing the purchase agreement to own some property Friday. Though my excitement feels rather lackluster about it

Between $0-$30 a month probably. I rarely buy coffee, but on occassion at work I will, usually if it's long working hours. I don't often make it at home either both because I usually lack cream and/or because I forget.

I'll more commonly have coffee if I'm with friends, that's where the cost increases the most.

I'm rarely on here outside of work. That being said, I did delete it at one point because my mental health took a dip. Seeing upset constantly in the news and memes etc. Takes a toll on me eventually. I do curate my feed a decent amount but some communities have such a mix that I keep them

Probably the most pivotal one I can think of was my introduction into the industry I work in. Just an 18yr old who needed a job, got invited to check out a small CNC job shop by a family friend. Fell in love with the industry and explosively grew my knowledge and skills. I was at that job less than a year but still in the industry many years later.

Not sure what my life would've been like otherwise, I had goals that disappeared when I entered the industry. So maybe I would've reached those, or had more/different friends through schooling. Either way, this is where is am.

I am always wrong in matters of taste. This is why I get other people to do all tastes for me. This includes my wardrobe

Tags on clothing must be printed on, with some exceptions where sewed letters are allowed. None of that free hanging tag BS.

There was a misprint on magic the gathering cards that affected the artwork/coloration the year I was born. WotC recalled all of them and destroyed them all. The remaining ones that were already purchased sell for absurd money

And I post bean memes because I love myself

checks history

I had always assumed that Hunter-Gatherer societies were very loosely sex divided and strongly necessity based. Meaning, sure men could be the typical hunter and women the typical gatherer but if necessity dictates, any person would do any job, and, given the times, that was probably frequently.

Furthermore they also likely didn't have societal structures the way modern societies did, meaning people likely weren't barred from any job or forced into any job, it was a community effort for survival, if you meet a criteria that can help, you do that.

These are not factual statements, these are just my assumptions on how I figured they reasonably existed.

I've gone twice, the first time, it was awesome! I was with two friends, we roamed and checked out basically every street. I even got to put a lock on the lock bridge for my partner at the time. Everyone was friendly and 2 of us spoke French so that helped a ton.

The second time I went was a few years after. The terrorist attacks had happened and the experience was not as great. The Eiffel tower is now gated and patrolled, you need had to get in lines and wait to get up close. They also had taken down the lock bridge (I was still with the same partner). It was still a good experience for sure, the vibe was different though.

Paris at night is beautiful, though remember that it is still a city, so treat it as such.

I shall not provide a number for the times having bugles on my fingers has lead to munching my fingers as well. However, there may be a distinct possibility this has happened.

Soon, uhhhh, all of my characters are Idiots who's names are puns for being stupid (lackman for instance).

Am the I dumb?

In all new flavors like SHOCKLATE and GUN

I did some reenactment as a early American colonial settler for a whole expo in a town event. That was pretty fun! Outside that I've only helped friends with their actual cosplay. One friend did a league of legends character (IDK the name, I don't play) and one did reinheart from overwatch. And another did a tavern wench.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures in hand. I may cosplay myself soon though. Unknown

IIRC When ChatGPT was first announced I believe the hype was because it was the first real usable interface a layman could interact with using normal language and have an intelligible response from the software. Normally to talk with computers we use their language (programming) but this allowed plain language speakers to interact and get it to do things with simple language in a more pervasive way than something like Siri for instance.

This then got over hyped and over promised to people with dollars in their eyes at the thought of large savings from labor reduction and capabilities far greater than it had. They were sold a product that has no real "product" as it's something most people would prefer to interact with on their own terms when needed, like any tool. That's really hard to sell and make people believe they need it. So they doubled down with the promise it would be so much better down the road. And, having spent an ungodly amount into it already, they have that sunken cost fallacy and keep doubling down.

This is my personal take and understanding of what's happening. Though there's probably more nuances, like staying ahead of the competition that also fell for the same promises.

Nutella?

I work for a well known (international) business in the USA that used to be known for it's good benefits. Man are they ass now. 14 days a yr, 21 after 5 years, and could work your way up to 6 weeks at 30yrs. no lunch break, no pension, and some expensive health insurance that covers nothing. Now it used to be 21 starting 28 after 5 yrs, a pension and a lunch break, with some impressive healthcare. And they took away the upper limit of vacation you could get to be 4? IIRC After 30 years. (So 1 extra week after 5 years, then one more after another 25).

The pay is fine but no nearly what it used to be. It used to be $10+ over the competition, now it's barely $1. They are hurting to hire because of it too
