"I love acting because it's a bit of an escape. It gives you the ability to reinvent yourself. They say that acting is the shy man's revenge."

“Many State Offices are concerned that Starlink proposals may be the lowest bid and alternative proposals may not be within the 15% window for consideration. What this analysis presents is that across many geographic areas Starlink may not be a qualified bidder as it may be unable to attain the required 100/20 Mbps service level (and, in deploying Starlink services, may actually degrade pre-existing users’ services to the point that they no longer receive minimal broadband speeds).”

It's astounding how Mozilla manages to consistently add shit to Firefox even at a time when people look for alternatives to Chrome. (Newest versions have started to force more AI crap into the UI.)
In the spring, I gave the participants of the fine arts pedagogy course at INN a glimpse into what I’ll be researching this fall. While the connections have developed since then, I still like the map and refer to it regularly.

"Mapped: 16 times extreme weather drove higher food prices since 2022"

There's this garage mystery... when I get up around 6am I can see my alley neighbor's garage door open. I've wondered why.
I think one of the people who lives there leaves really early but doesn't have a garage door opener, so they just drive away and leave the door open.
Later the other person who lives there drives away and closes the door, because they have the remote.
That's my best guess, two people/cars, but only one remote.
Do you have somewhere, by any rare chance, a Windows NT 4.0 kernel32.dll library that you can share? Or the MD5 hash.

I find the deluge of information overwhelming and things have only gotten worse with AI. Now I can produce mountains of crap using AI and then I have to sift it to see if there is anything worth saving.
I find myself always behind on working through all the information and projects I have...and if by some Herculean effort I manage to get current (this usually involves hitting the delete button repeatedly while telling myself "you'll never use that or need that again") I find myself building a mountain again with great haste!
Yes, I am fully aware I'm #neurodivergent and #adhd. Sigh.

"I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character."
