@… So far, so amazing!
Amazing that Tarn, Zach and the rest of the Dwarf Fortress team continue to pile effort into the game even though there's no further big payout on the horizon — they already had their Steam release and there's no plans for any pay-for DLC. Hardcore fans will still be donating by Patreon and directly, but almost anyone else would move on to something more lucrative.
It already was their lifes' work before the Steam windfall and it's something special that they continue.

I'm always wary about using environmental (or health) arguments in favor of going #vegan, mostly because veganism is about animal rights, not about benefits for us and thus you can only go plant-based for those reasons, not vegan, though for some veganism may follow more easily after having abstained from the use of animals.

Tomorrow I will dig up an old graphics card from a drawer in the office to put in it, because the other thing I have learned today is that the number of games you can play with an Intel HD 4600 graphics chipset is zero.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson shares amazing reason he delayed signing contract extension https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/dallas-cowboys-jake-ferguson-shares-amazing-reason-he-delayed-signing-contract-extension
Confusing episode. Let me clear it all up.
The world is sinking into the doubt needed to rescue Omega, remember, and The Doctor is falling with a balcony that's separated from the building.
How does he get out of that?
Well, saved by a literal magic door that pops out of nowhere, leading back to the time hotel. 🤨
Anita, who he spent a year with once a couple of Christmases ago, has been popping around the Doctor's entire long life, peeping on him with the Daleks and stuff. Trying to find him on the Earth's last day. Today.
And now he's rescued, today turns into a groundhog day. Same day over and over again. 😆
There's another woman that's been stalking him through time lately, Mrs Flood. She was following him everywhere, but she had Xmas off she reckons, so didn't see the Time Hotel bit. Thus the element of surprise in the deus ex machina rescue. 😀
The Doctor is broken free of the wish spell now anyway, popped his conditioning, and can use the time hotel's door to recall Unit and break them all out of the wish too.
The Rani pops in to say hi and explain her plans. 😝
How did the Rani survive the end of the Timelords? She flipped her DNA to sidestep the genetic bomb apparently? Well that makes no sense, but nor does anything else so no time to ponder.
The end of the Time Lords made them all Barons... No, made them barren. There can be no more children of the time-lords.
She's popping Omega back out of the underworld for his DNA because the timelords are all barren and she wants to recreate Galifrey.
But wait a minute: Poppy is the Doctor's kid in wish world! So she should have Timelord DNA too! Maybe that could work?
No. The Rani is a nazi, don't like the kid's contaminated blood. She's got human all over her DNA. Eww.
Rani pops off back to her Bone Palace, and makes the bone beasts attack.
The Doctor explains that the Giant dinosaur skeletons are beasts that pop in to clean up the world when there's a reality flux, and the Rani has turned them on Unit HQ.
So the UNIT HQ turns into some kinda ship? Like the Crimson Permanent Insurance. Lol. It's blasting lasers at the bone beasts and turning around, and has a steering wheel like pirate ship now. 🤣
During the battle, the Doctor pops out to take a ride on the sky-bike, looking like something from Flash Gordon, and crashes into the Bone Palace.
Too late though! Omega is pretty much here now. He's a giant boney CGI zombie, become his own legend. Looks great but doesn't really seem like Omega, who ought to be held together by pure will.
Omega eats the Rani! One of the Ranis anyway. Mrs Flood avoids being eaten. She pops off with the time bracelet. "So much for the Two Rani's. It's a goodnight from me!" as she disappears off into time. Great gag. 😁
The Doctor just shoots Omega to get him back into his box. Pops a rifle off the wall. The Vindicator has apparently also got a built in laser as well as locator beacons. So that's handy. The Doctor doesn't use guns but some of his devices work like one. 🔫
So all is well! The day is saved and the wish is over and baby Poppy survives in a time box! 🍻
They're going to take the space baby off to do space adventures. Ruby is jealous of seeing The Doctor and Belinda vibing like that, as they plan a life in space with the space baby. Aww. Poor Ruby. 😭
But then Poppy pops off! Disappears entirely, and everyone other than Ruby forgets. Ruby remembers because she's disappeared from time herself in the past they say.
Okay: to save his child and on Ruby's word alone, the Doctor will sacrifice himself to turn reality one degree.
He goes off to commit suicide by Regeneration, but Thirteen is here! She's popped out of her timeline to stop him! Or maybe to help, with a motivational chat instead. Gives him a pep talk then pops back off again.
The Doctor zaps reality with his Tardis, dying but holding off on the actual regeneration for a few moments to go check on the kid.
The kid is safe! But isn't his own kid any more. Poppy has popped all her Timelord DNA and is just all human now. Poppy's pop isn't the doc, it's someone called Richie.
And Belinda has been so keen to get home all this time in order to get back to her Baby! Who isn't a timelord, and definitely didn't exist until she was wished into being.
This may not be the most ethical action The Doctor has ever taken: To bend the whole universe in order to recreate a baby that was accidentally wished into being out of nothing. Twisting time to give a child to a nurse who didn't previously have a child, or even remember the wish. Then it's not even the same child that disappeared, coz this one is all human. 🤷
But the doc is popping off to regenerate with Joy in the stars, and... Turns blonde: "oh. Hello?" 🤯
It's Rose! Billie Piper is back? Fantastic!
Is Rose doing a David Tennant Impression there?
Billie playing the Doctor, doing a Tennant impression as Bad Wolf? Amazing. Can't wait.

The human aspects of the Ukrainian operation Spider's Web i find the most amazing, driving all those trucks through Russia, having drone operators on site (!), evading all checks and controls within Russia. Very likely a lot of bribing was involved, the extreme level of corruption makes Russia weak.

I'll start the Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club (CVARC) Field Day posts with some of the infrastructure we set up. These tents are a vital part of it, on load from the EMS services in our county. Two are used for radio ops, while the third is entirely dedicated to Public Information and visitor info. It's amazing to watch them magically take shape.
The City of Thousand Oaks brings their communications trailer for an airing-out also.

Conservationists who focus on restoration of wetlands are increasingly "Leaving It To Beaver." Beavers are considered the ultimate Keystone Species because they area they re-engineer offer benefits to many other species, and an entire ecosystem can collapse if a Beaver is removed. A Beaver dam doesn't just hold and conserve water. Beavers increase the population of frogs, fish, insects, birds, and small mammals and extend the range of larger mammals like moose, deer, and bears. The quantity and variety of vegetation are increased. Water is filtered and saturates the land, refilling artesian wells. It's unbelievable that we almost lost this amazing creature because of a hat fashion trend.

What annoys me the most about the current state of AI
I've dabbled with ML ever since the very first stanford ML class. That was almost 15 years ago.
On a technical level, it is mind meltingly insane. Just the fact that the stuff that was released in just half a decade works *at all* the way it does is just... amazing.
There is genunely amazing tech in there. Especially in pattern recognition and processing.
But then it gets tarnished by *gestures around broadly*
the github-related spam is amazing: “Hi, I'm the CEO of $SOME_RANDOM_REPO”
Amazing quotes with obscure sources

We need to stop reasoning about AI like this. Every time it can do something amazing it's "well that's just because its training data is so big, everything is bound to be in there."
Then, when it shows some limitation, it's "Well that's because it must not be in the training data".

Owning two Pixel phones running GrapheneOS made me both chuckle and tear up a little. It’s such an amazing operating system that I’m planning to start making monthly donations to support the project.
I had my Pixel 6a since early May 2023, but yesterday I upgraded to a Pixel 9a because the speakers and earpiece microphone on my 6a had started to fail badly, and the battery was showing its age.
I’m glad I made the upgrade, and now people can hear me clearly on the phone again.

Once again, a huge thank you to our incredible photographer, Jan Michalko, for capturing these amazing memories!
I ❤️ when other women compliment me. It truly makes my day. Yesterday, the budtender at the dispensary told me I smelled amazing. A woman at DSW told me my nails looked gorgeous & asked who does them. Today, 1 of the 2 young women who filled my donut order looked at me, smiled, & said, “You look SO pretty,” & the other one chimed in & added, “You DO! You’re killing it, mama!” I know I turned colors. Women going out of their way to lift up other women is THE FREAKING BEST.
My daughter's softball team this summer season is something else. For some reason this group of girls who for the most part didn't know each other from other leagues or seasons, are meshing like crazy.
Stuff like asking for extra practice, lol. Usually it's 2 hours, and they ask to practice for one more hour. Constantly asking to pitch to them hitting.
Today they spent 4 hours at a community pool, just playing. Very supportive to each other, etc. Amazing to watch.
