I see that this is the day, I wish you all the best and know that realizing the issue and doing something about it is a huge step on the way!

You are doing good!

Going for a walk.

Cleaning.

Minecraft, soo much minecraft…

Break down the issue into smaller tasks.

I was living with a family in a suburb to Bath in the UK, the son in the family and me was with his friends Bristol for a day, when they suddenly started talking about bombs, yep this was the London bombings in 2005…

At first I didn’t realize what happened, I am Swede and English is my second language, so I had a bit of trouble actually understanding it all.

When we got back home, I called my parents who were in Canada on vacation at the time, they were at a restaurant and had not heard the news yet, so they were very confused but happy that I was fine.

I can just imagine them at a restaurant, getting a call from their son calling to say that he is ok and not to worry with zero context and then hearing about the attacks that way, that must have been quite surreal, but also ment that they was never worried.

The last plane crash into a building in NY before 2001 was back in 1946, when a transport aircraft from the US Army Air Forces flew into 40 Wall Street.

That was 55 years before 9/11, and 20 years before construction of the twin towers was started, it was believed to be a solved problem, which in context wasn’t that unreasonable.

Printing physical media and distributing it is a huge cost, since physical media use has declined in recet times the supplychains they used to rely has gone.

This has increased the cost.

Compare that to digital infrastructure and you have a cheaper alternative that has scalable solutions.

There is no need to print or really distribute physical media any more, you get the finnished movie/episode as a digital file, you upload it to the cloud shortly before release, wait for it to automagically get cached in the regions, and set the timer for release. The streaming service will automatically change the $video.enabled variable from $false to $true, and millions of people will be able to watch it at the same time.

2019 was a shit year for me, I got mycoplasma just before going abroad on a work trip, I thought it was just a cold, and remember thinking in the taxi that it was going to be a shit week having a cold the entire trip.

Well, it was worse than that, much worse, I could hardly work at all, and nothing I did made me better.

The only relief I got was taking a shower and cough up phlegm sonthst I could sleep, only the hotel reception called me sbout flooding the floor I was on (this was a fancy hotel), and when a technician came up to look at it he half accused me of “splashing and deliberately using the shower outside the bathtub”, something I never did, so I got terrified that I would loose my job because of that since I had used my company credit card (as I should).

But i got a few hours if sleep, and decided I needed to get into a shower again, so I did, and was very careful, but the reception rang again, and sent out a new technician, this guy was way better and actually took a look under the bathtub and found out that the sealing agaibst the wall was fucked, I have never felt such instant relief, it wasn’t my fault!

I got a new fancier room for the last night, and the flew home.

A week later I was diagnosed with pneumonia in one lung, and got penicillin, the pills were too big so I could not swallow them, I tried to dissolve them in water to drink them, but the taste allmost made me throw up, so it took about an hour to slowly drink the penicillin every time.

I didn’t get better and got to hospital, I was admitted and stayed for two nights, I got penicillin striaght in to the blood ans well as drip and finally started getting better.

When I was discharged I got stronger penicillin pills that dissolved easier and didn’t taste revolting.

All in all I was out sick for 1,5 months.

Then in 2022, that year sucked as well, got double heel spurs, flat feet and a bad knee.

It took me a year of painkillers and walking home crying from the bus every day to get it sorted, new inlays and excellent Brooks shoes to get it sorted

The B-25 bomber and Boeing 767 airliner are two very differet aircraft.

The WTC towers and the Empire State Building were also very different buildings.

So there events are not really comparable.

Checkout the Well There’s Your Problem podcast about the WTC buildings and the attack.

It is three hours long, quite rambly and full of dark humor, but digs quite deep into the time the towers where constructed and the issues that it caused during the attack.

There was a time when I thought about switching to Fedora when I ditch Windows in 2025, but the frequent release schedule of Fedora has made me worried if those updates risk breaking my setup.

Woosh!

The most stupid thing I have seen so far, the “Vehicle molecular de-icer”

Awww, I miss our cat from when I grew up.

I used to use Memmy, but that seems to have been abandoned, I am now on Voyager.

It’s way better.

I am just blasting Scooter - Constellations

That depends on what it could do, and how granular it could be programmed.

I don’t want any active interface, it should just be passive.

If I had a small chip in my head that I could program to reward a healthy lifestyle but nothing else, then yes I would be interested.

I mean something that would give me a slight dopamine hit when making healthy choises would be fantastic.

Now, that would be impossible to make, but that is the only kind of BCI I would accept

Yeah, I particularly enjoyed the Arantica Rossa, just fantastic taste.

If I was free to do anything legal with enough money to maintain my current middle class lifestyle, then I would spend a lot of my time visiting cool places and photgraphing them.

I am no millionaire, not even in SEK, but make a good living, if I could keep my current pay and just do whatever, I would be travelling throughout Sweden and the rest of Europe looking for cool places, like abandoned industries, old/abandoned military infrastructure, old/abandoned civil infrastructure, cool modern places with infrastructure.

I’d probably save up to get a smaller crossover SUV, I love my 2021 Seat Leon, but it isn’t brilliant at going over overgrown tracks.

Yeah, it sucks, sorry to be the one to tell you

Sadly San Pellegrino is part of Nestle, so I refuse to knowingly buy them any more…

I have never been in good shape, allways overweight, I used to feel ashamed about it, but once I hit thirty I simply realized that there is no point to feeling ashamed, doing so only harms me and my attempts to get into a less bad shape.
