Shout out to this player I saw in Diablo 4 last night.

A player named "Schuldiner" with the title Crystalline Mountain, which is a reference to a band named Death and their song Crystal Mountain.

Sphene has sideburns and I will not apologize for this post.

Sphene from FFXIV Dawntrail. Her hair is styled such that it looks like she has giant mutton chop sideburns.

Managed to do a 7.5km hike today. 110m of elevation gain. Not bad, not bad. I mean, I'll hate myself tomorrow but for now I'm happy.

It only ever gets worse doesn't it? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“These companies’ expansion plans show that unless governments and regulators insist on a rapid phaseout, we will face a new tidal wave of forever chemicals,” said Anne-Sofie Bäckar, the executive director of ChemSec, the Swedish chemicals watchdog that carried out the research.

ChemSec’s survey found nearly all of the 10 biggest manufacturers of Pfas had plans to increase production, at sites in Europe, Asia and North America.

The boom in AI tech was leading demand, with Pfas used for “eco-friendly” datacentre cooling and in various stages of semiconductor manufacturing.

Japan-headquarted Daikin said it was launching a “datacentre hub” to meet demand, and promised to “maintain and expand our top share in the industry by expanding sales of existing fluorine products and introducing new products”.

God this is just the most 90s album cover.

album cover. there's like a sword fish spearing a baby doll that is peering through a hole in... cloth? surrounded by weird spiky scribbles with a background of orange scenery, and weird flowery script mixed with capitalized sans font.

This is about what I would expect; I've long believed that the majority of Canadian accents are formed by american television so a heavy lean towards new york makes sense.

Even the weather hates rogers stadium in toronto. I find this damage deeply funny. Everything about that place was a huge mistake and clearly it wasn't built to withstand outdoor weather either which is funny for an outdoor venue.

the more people talk about ai agents the more I picture this

Jon Hamm in the Black Mirror episode "White Christmas" where humans enslave digital clones of self in order to run home automation. The clones are tortured into servitude.

No one at microsoft knows how to develop software anymore, and VS 2026 proves this:

Imagine if software "engineers" had to take the engineering oath.

I am an Engineer. In my profession, I take deep pride. To it, I owe solemn obligations.

As an engineer, I pledge to practice integrity and fair dealing, tolerance and respect, and to uphold devotion to the standards and dignity of my profession. I will always be conscious that my skill carries with it the obligation to serve humanity by making the best use of the Earth's precious wealth.

As an engineer, I shall participate in none but honest enterprises. When needed, my skill and knowledge shall be given, without reservation, for the public good. In the performance of duty, and in fidelity to my profession, I shall give my utmost.

— "Obligation of an Engineer"

nfld is one of the most beautiful places i've visited. spending last week at a cottage on a lake was rejuvenating but being back in suburbia has me at a pretty low low. hard to trade this view for dense townhouses and highway road noise

I spent my week on a lake. Touching grass is overrated. Touching water though? Can't be beat. Drinking morning coffee and afternoon beers on a dock kicks so much ass.
