Now that's a plan!
Thanks Witchy!
Last night, I woke up after only four hours of sleep, and then an hour later, dog started vomiting whole pieces of his food. Then I started to fall asleep, and had a nightmare that I was being held at gunpoint. Really great sleep. I have to give a presentation today. I think the lack of sleep was some kind of subconscious stress or the decaf English Breakfast tea I accidentally drank before bed.
Oh that sucks. All the best for the presentation - you got this even after a night like that. And then you have non stressed sleep to look forward to ๐ด
I hope you can get some some rest after everything is done.
For some reason, drinking black tea (even decaf) fucks up my sleep more than coffee if I have it late in the evening.
All the best today.
๐ฎI hope pup is ok! I can't drink tea before bed or I'm off to the bathroom all night๐ซฉI hope your presentation goes well!
It's normal to be nervous, it means you have a good grasp on what's important.
hugs, you can do this ๐
Just warning you all that Imgur front page is full of NSFW and boobs as a protest, in case you want to specifically avoid that kind of thing.
It used to be one of my favourite places, but I deleted my account about a week ago. The newish mob that own it turfed out all the old staff and mods and are now "AI first". As a consequence stuffs breaking left right and centre and all the accounts that made it a community have skadaddelled it's gone fully rogue this week but I understand.
I liked the interwebs when it was for cute (non AI and not drugged for ease) animals and fun weirdos.
Yeah the breakdown of notifications was the last straw for a lot of people. It's bad enough that the videos would load, half play and then freeze lol, but I was putting up with that because I loved some of the users. Now they aren't taking uploads from Ukraine. A few have set up discords but I hate the discord format, it's like 100 people talking at once.
What are they protesting?
Imgur was bought by a company called Medialab ai, who sacked all the mods and tech support staff and pumped the site with ads. Edit: some stories that some much loved user/mods were sacked in sudden/nasty ways undeservedly. Some classic and old Imgurians accounts were banned. Posts were arbitrarily removed (ai mods now). Secret Santa was abolished. All NSFW uploads were removed by Medialab to make it more attractive to advertisers. They aren't accepting uploads from accounts which are Ukrainian. Some Imgurians are rebelling against the enshittification, others are just leaving and looking for similar sites elsewhere. There isn't anything quite like Imgur tho.

Ha! I quit years ago when they banned NSFW. Was the only use I had for it.
This week has flown by. Been super busy at work. Miniest got accepted into her choice of secondary school! (Big yay). She's also being allowed on her first school camp ever ๐ณMr P got himself some new false teeth and now has to get used to them. Have been watching one of my personal favourite online communities (Imgur) become enshittified and have been looking for an alternative. There's just nothing quite like it out there, and I had my little community there, but now everyone is scattering. Fuck you medialab ai.
time for some back rest
i dont wanna but I gotta
Iโm entirely ready for the weekend, but Friday keeps getting in the way

Iโm so fucking buzzed off rehearsal last night!!!!!!
Plus I got to play a real drum kit and yeah, the electronic one is great but the real one is fucking amazing.
Apparently Iโm going to the gym today then thatโs me. I have to go and re-setup all my gear from last night so joys of cabling here we go.
LOVE this for you, that's so awesome!
Thank you! And the gym has paid off Iโm getting rid of migraines! I used to play for 20 mins and have to stop.
Yesterday I played for 6 HOURS!!
Wild shit haha
Made it down the beach last night. Ended up building the 'puter. No mishaps. Certainly the fastest thing I've ever used.
Ended up going w/ win 11 ltsc. So far so good. No bunch of useless shit on there straight out of the gates.
And it's quiet even at load. Can hear the second hand of the clock in the other room when it's idle lol.
Only hitting 50c after an hour of prime95 which is wild. Obviously didn't bugger the thermal paste.
Now have to reinstall all the audio things which takes for ever.
Currently tossing up whether to build a or buy a prebuilt PC. Current one I'm using I didn't build and it's a bit of a monster put together over a few years with the last upgrades done in 2019. Boyo just nabbed a prebuilt and it's actually a great machine.
