Instead of diving into a podcast, I had a voice conversation with an AI on my short drive to work this morning. This satisfies my desire to search for things during my drive, when the time is too short to consume a podcast.

It never fails. A week after I start the journey to finish out my CS degree from SNHU, life gets super busy. Gotta get it done though.

Wait, you can still mine crypto profitably? Where do they get this energy at a price point that allows it?

I’ve recently come to realize how much creator-biased social media video content exists toward disparaging AI What scares me about this: younger generations are getting their “facts” about AI among other things from YouTube / TikTok and using the info to form their opinions

Anyone else extra tired today? Long weekends are supposed to make you less tired for the work week, right?

We have this “he barked, she said” issue with our dog so we created a chart on the fridge to track feedings AM/PM. Pro tip: put the chart high enough that the pet cannot wipe off the dry erase with their paw in an attempt for a second meal

I don’t think Kumail has met a honey badger, and I’ve seen some pretty nasty emus on TikTok

This sucks. My policy is to tip 20% maximum allowed by expense policy and then tip extra cash on short rides. I drove Uber for like 3 days and after a giving a ride to a smelly guy and having to carry in a woman’s groceries for no tip, I quit and have a soft spot for ride share drivers now.

They said “find a hobby you’re passionate about” So I’m teaching myself to be a techno club DJ No, I won’t play your wedding or birthday party, This is for me… and maybe a thousand people on a dance floor in Ibiza if I get good enough

Between following @mcuban.bsky.social on bluesky and watching him on Shark Tank, part of me wants to invent something just so I can meet the guy. He’s obviously smart and seems like a lot of fun.

Also, every garage door opener has a cord you can pull above the car that allows you you manually lift open the door, in case you didn’t get this message in time

I should have ordered an automatic weight bench but I suppose this manual model will do

Just learned the hard way about how asking an innocent question on this platform can quickly escalate into a shitstorm Also just learned that I can’t control the replies when I reply to someone else’s post Whoops, sorry

What’s going on with all these close calls and near misses by airplanes? Could it be that companies like ATP Flight School are cutting corners to put commercial pilots in the air? Or is it an ATC issue?

Upgraded my son’s Alienware R12 from a 2080 Super to a 3080 GPU, so far so good. Had to tweak one bracket and upgraded the fan.

Holiday break has been fantastic for my mental health. Slept in a couple of days and had some really vivid dreams.

Dan Mitchell @danmitchellus.bsky.social · 26/12/2024

Don’t feel ignored for the past couple days. Some people, like me, prioritize IRL interactions. I spent my time in the moment, focused on those around me this Christmas. Those electronic messages, whether they are by social media or text, are still there today, and I’ll get back to all of them.

And just like that, the drones are gone? I’ll keep a watchful eye in VT this weekend but I doubt spy drones are interested in our Hallmark-style Christmas getaway

Went to the Natick Mall last night and it was a ghost town So strange to see the mall so quiet on 12/20, sales associates standing around at 8pm. Maybe because it was a Thursday? Idk, good for me, but still strange

As Zone Chair, I inducted two more members at a local Lions club last night. It was a couple about my age. The wife’s dad joined Lions in 1973 and was proud to see her carry on the legacy. I do love the feeling of being a force multiplier for a service organization. #LionsClub

Is anyone here from Boston? Or for that matter, metrowest Massachusetts? I must have followed too many New Yorkers because nobody here complains about MassPike traffic, the line at Dunks or the parking at Shoppers World

They wouldn’t shut down social security for people who have been paying into it all these years with 18 years left, right? They’d give us a refund first?
