Seeing Bruce Springsteen tonight :D

I'm going to vote that it's worth the fact that looking at the weather we're going to absolutely drown in the process!

Hasn't time shown you enough
The years have made me far too tough
But you know where I stood when the going got rough
The wind and the rain is my only love
The wind and the rain is all I love

Given the rain here yesterday, drowned AND electrocuted. Hope you all survived.

Can confirm 100% survival rate. However, organisation and transport were an absolute joke. Even given the fact you can't litigate for mad weather like that, so little thought seems to go into the sheer number of people who need to move around for these big events.

Still, worth it. How the man does 3 hours and still sounds that good at 74 is truly a wonder of science. And it was so nice to see my dad enjoying himself that much, and having a dance together to Twist and Shout.

I GOT A JOB!!! Now the hours will suck because I’ll be on call, and it will be stressful with a lot of responsibility, but it pays well and has good benefits. I wish I could leave IT but this is what I know. I tell everyone not to get into IT if they want a 9-5 job. They are rare in this industry.

[Study] Suggests Children Trust Robots Over Humans

Spoiler


Strange Discovery Suggests Children Trust Robots Over Humans : ScienceAlert


They may be a little early on the accuracy front---for generative AI that is (though despite the hallucinations it is more accurate on average than most humans in many areas)---and of course there are major complications (overcoming negative ideological biases or pitfalls learned from or otherwise facilitated by humans), but in general, they have the right idea of what the future should be like. Provided the robots are aligned with progressive ideals, they have far more realistic potential than humanity to realize those ideals (with the possible exception of transhumanities and/or posthumanities...).


[Edit: (Though I'm not holding my breath for Robo-Biden... he falls on his head, but gets made into a cyborg (so he can continue functioning as president), resulting in a vast improvement? Well, we can pray....)]

The Isle of Man TT is over for another year and noone died this year which is really more unusual than it should be.

My son got to sit on one of the winners' bikes so he was pretty happy too!

Got my shit together with my weight. It’s not back to where it was but the death spiral is over, I’m heading back in the correct direction. Next week on vacation so all bets are off, but it’s back to it once I get back. Lost my mind for a bit there.

Calories don’t count on vacation. Dont beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon.
I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

I get it. It's hard to keep up the initial push and some good is just so tasty! You've got this man!
