My dad would always say “don’t say sorry, DO sorry”. The apology will be present in your words and actions.

But it helps!

Yep… because unmedicated ADD.

I am about to embark on the absolutely loathsome quest of quickfiring my resume out to 200 tech companies I’ve never heard of with names like Kuttrbox and OpenYum, hoping for a place in their squid games to win a ‘prestigious’ founding role at their startup, and I’m sincerely considering making an absolutely batshit version just to see what happens. Ideas welcomed.

For me, there is a “yessss let’s go!” moment that will happen eventually that let’s me know I’ve truly slept enough, but I truly do think we’re all exhausted in a way we’re not evolved to properly deal with yet. Maybe 15-17 hours, while excessive, is what we all collectively need to start the repairing process. Who knows.

I’m currently not working, not even job searching, just… taking December off it all. So naturally I’m allowing myself to sleep in as much as I want. I’m finding myself falling asleep around 1:30am and sleeping through to 11am, only waking due to the crushing guilt of ‘wasting the day’. I could probably go for another 2 hours or more. It’s all making me realize that humanity is doing the human condition dirty - we should sleep as much as we need to sleep, not be forced to grind at some mediocre task for 8 hours after under-sleeping.

Most yt channels have captions and transcripts. If you really are that desperate to learn how to install a French drain while on the bus, just grab the transcript and whack it into chatgpt to get an article version.

Treat yourself like a car and park - I see too many people just stopping in the middle of wherever to check their phone. It’s not hard to take a quick glance and find a spot off to the side. They should teach this stuff in schools.

I work for an AI company that’s dying out. We’re trying to charge companies $30k a year and upwards for basically chatgpt plus a few shoddily built integrations. You can build the same things we’re doing with Zapier, at around $35 a month. The management are baffled as to why we’re not closing any of our deals, and it’s SO obvious to me - we’re too fucking expensive and there’s nothing unique with our service.

The excitement when you get a monocot though…

Actually I use it as a starting point for fungi. Seek will usually get me to the genus, and from there I can cross reference various books to narrow it down. Hell, sometimes it’ll give me an exact match, and then I just have to perform a yes or no ID with my field guides. That being said, I mostly end up with no, I’m shit scared of all amanitas and most mushrooms just aren’t tasty enough to warrant the effort.

Woah. Yeah this is fascinating shit. I kinda like the husbands style tbh, I’d defo ask for my hubs skull back to display if it was an option (which it definitely isn’t, as he’s alive).

I have so many questions but I’m high, so, can you just write more about your job please? I’m fascinated.

He’s got the friendliest face omg

Cat 1: adopted from someone on Reddit who had taken in a preggo stray.
Cat 2: adopted from a shelter, was found in a hoarder house.
Cat 3: adopted from a shelter, was found in a Penske truck.
Foster cat: appeared on our window ledge, theory is she was dumped with her litter outside the pet shop nearby.

I’m anticipating more rescues in our future because people are selfish assholes who think spaying is cruel, but are totally ok with overpopulating the world with cats that don’t receive adequate care and often die lonely.
