iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Biggest concern as far as we've had was phone reception. Pairing was ok 99% of the time. But sometimes it was annoying. Several people ran the app and took money over the course of a night or a week. It was a brilliant move for us.

I'm not a comics creator but went through this for class. Things went from a nightmare of paperwork and holding cash to a tap into the club account. Easily worth the transaction fee to avoid the trips to the bank and any tiresome accounting. We used Square and it was all as it said on the tin.

Back end it's remarkably dubious. I vaguely know what I'm doing and am well aware of what kind of trouble a badly secured system would cause. No way would I be able to audit memory leaks, injection sites, plain dodgy code. Vibe coding is a serious cyber security risk.

Picked it up in the bundle of holding, haven't had a chance to play many games- let alone a new RPG. BUT: Loved reading it and It falls right into my favourite genre of rules. (Fluxx, Blank White Dice, Polarity) - Chaos through simplicity.

it's pretty good timing @mrjamesob.bsky.social with the Yandex data centers being out of order, Russia's greatest weapon is absent. The Mail et al are bolstered greatly by the online disinformation and bot farms. It's the closest we've been to a "true voice" for quite some time.

How about the actual reality - men like me have basically flooded the market with all the stories men like me can write and that new viewpoints will create new stories and stop the market from being male, pale and stale.

Putin has shown no qualms about murdering people on British soil. Nobody wants to paint a target on their head @mrjamesob.bsky.social How annoying and inconvenient do you have to be before you have to take a geiger counter to a sushi restaurant?

Horribly likely, unfortunately. IIRC C7 have had the licences for quite a while so, someone messing up end dates feels plausible. It's either that or something horrifically 90s failed a vibe check and they can't explain why it's being dropped without reinforcing the bigotry. .

I'm a fan of Matt Parker for his ability to show how weird and interesting maths can be. AI robs us of the journey, and that's the important part of being human.

Capsacasin activates pain receptors rather than the standard flavour (like menthol does with cold) Your butthole has a similar set of receptors (not quite taste buds, but as far as chili is concerned it is), so if you haven't denaturised it through digestion, you'll 'taste' it on the way out.

The very hungry Caterpillar.. Ok, most of the 10 hours would be an avant guarde timelapse film of a chrysalis emerging into a butterfly... but still.

Being John Malkovitch could do with a sequel.

This is not the first time I've had to check it's you and not a news outlet. Have you ever thought of just moving to a remote island and giving up on the satire until he's out of office.

I swear that place has some kind of gravity distortion field. If I'm just meandering, not paying attention anywhere between Waterloo and Euston, I end up inside.

If the death penalty was a justifiable punishment and preventative without broadcast as it has been claimed. There is no need or reason for it to be televised. Making it a public spectacle is proving that was all a lie. And that it is state sponsored murder. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Reminds me of the Kray super computer I used to sit on as a child.

Had flu booster yesterday. Not feeling too bad. Just mildly achy and tired- not that much worse but thinking about it.. yeah, definitely faster and more noticeable. Still pretty trivial though.

oh for fucks sake. I don't have any money to commission art.

Keeps marmalade sandwiches under his hat for when meeting go on for too long? (tbh, I'd respect that)

I'm pretty sure Matt Parker did a bit on how the journey is an integral part of any maths solution. Any step on the way to the solution may result in weirder questions. LLMs/AI don't follow those human threads and who knows what gets lost when you say "we've done billions of calculations, and nah"

Where's Statler & Waldorf when you need them.

Did it take her so long to get to the stage because she can only turn to the right? @mrjamesob.bsky.social

A studio flat in zones 4-5, not even a proper 1 bedroom is a little shy of £300k.

It's going to doghnutify cities even more as only the rich will be able to afford to own properties in central locations and any working class generation has to keep finding cheaper properties.

It's about why the house has boosted in value and what you're doing with it. @mrjamesob.bsky.social If you've lived in Kings Cross/Camden for 60+ years and your family want to live in thst property, it's unfair to force them to sell up through tax due to value increasing through gentrification.

... but how many of them have had their art immortalised as an official lego set.

Speed? @mrjamesob.bsky.social were you going do fast that Iain Lee didn't have time to moonwalk?

I like the stuff they're doing now and I want to easily find that thing, especially if they return to it- so pen names are good. Some days you want Oscar Award winner Trent Reznor. Others you need NIN.

I have.. complicated feelings when creatives I like want to change up the things I like about them. I'm happy that they are still finding joy and newness. I hope the directions they take are profitable and satisfying I might like the direction they're going in but...

The secondary effects of Warhammer are not to be downplayed either. It's commonly the gateway to your little group of weirdos. Which then ends up doing amazing and unpredictable things. I'd be happy to argue that it's one of the nucleation sites for most of our creative and academic progress.

I don't like praising GW because it feels like every business decision they've made has been to discontinue the things I love the most. But they are a very important uk business and the top of an amazing and vibrant sector. Bigger than fishing on their own @mrjamesob.bsky.social

If you want to go a little nerdy there's a load of sites that do subtitle files that you can display over the video - exact methods vary but a lot of tvs are compatible. www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/su...

that spontaneous human combustion picture. If you're of the right age you won't need any more information.

How bad do you have to be for Reese-Mogg to think you're a right wing loony? @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Anyway. A big part of this grump is because it's been forever since I've gone on a 10-15 mile foraging/photography stroll. And it's now the end of sloe season.

Bollocks to this lack of disposable income. This is gorgeous and I know exactly where it would go.

It's not woe is me, it's more like a stone in the shoe (it kind of literally is a bunch of stones in the joint). And yes, I'm glad it's comparatively trivial. But that makes it more annoying. I just need it all scooped out and then it's a couple of months of work and I'm back behind the blade.

I'm essentially growing cartilage instead of lubrication lining- rare but not concerning. Approximately 2 months until I get my knee cut open and the misbehaving cells and lumps removed and I am getting incredibly impatient. Healing is going to be... long enough. So can we just get this done.

I recently heard the term eewphoria for when you get your gender validated by creeps. I've always thought there needed to be a word for that.

Amoxicillin was mentioned and as basic antibiotics go- I'm bloody familiar with it. My summers were spent playing in and around rat piss filled lakes. First sign of stubborn cold, amoxicillin because Weil's disease aint fun. and rat piss is far more common than plague.

There's no hope then. You're one of the bloody causes.

This is what I mean when I think working as a 2000AD artist must be a special hell for those with imposter syndrome. This thread of beautiful art isn't actually much higher than the average quality. It's.. just, sitting in the corner weeping into your inkwell seems a fair response.
