I could see this... 3 solo movies = This "Day" trilogy ("Brand new Day", some other "day" movie, and then probably "One More Day") - Maybe do Brand New Day, then One More Day, then somehow NOT screw up the MJ/Petey relationship, and the last one be called "Mayday" and feature him raising his...

So... Alan Greenspan died at age 100. I hear some people are irrationally exuberant.

OK. Two I can think of that hit the "best value in something I've purchased" category, and their on opposite ends of the cost spectrum. First , Bare Naked boxers from Duluth Trading. I used to be a "Go to Sam's once a year, but a dozen pack of boxers, wear them for a year, throw them out...

Any of these systems can be gamed, often programmatically. It's one of the critical flaws in modern "Manage by Metrics" mantras. In most industries now there is this seeming motion towards having managers who don't actually know what the people they're managing really accomplish. Instead they...

Just imagine if the catch line at the end of the movie is back on Earth and someone goes "Hey! There's SuperGirl!" and she stops and say "No... SuperTHEY"

Now imagine the eventuality when Amazon says "OK, we'll also start picking up packages you need to ship now and leverage our network to get it delivered, just print out a label, and we'll sell you a label printer or $5, and charge less per-package..."

The way I see it, the games my wife and I like playing all play reasonably on the cards we already have. If the 5060s are just used for the AI work that perfectly serves my purposes well. For now, I think I'll remove the old cards, upgrade in place. Then once I can hit the store or find a...

As my mountain Dwarven instincts start manifesting more and more... that means being drawn to more expensive metals apparently... Behold what 23.8 ounces of junk silver jewelry I got off Ebay melted down into.... (80% purity silver) Including the elusive magical lucky silver poop! If I get...

So today I find myself at a quandry.... Decided to do the "tiny" upgrade to the desktops in the house. (my rig and the one @Mrs. Haus uses). 3060s with 8GB to 5060TIs with 16G. For the first time I can remember I'm doing an upgrade NOT because of gaming performance. But rather that we're...

Slightly more semi-official update and PSA... for of all things.. a PSA blood check.

My usual stance is if it doesn't come across with a caller ID I recognize as a person I want to talk to, then I don't answer. Lately that has been loosened a little as I am starting to do some "job market exploration" and other things.....

I'm still getting a lot that seem to be calling just to see if someone answers. I answer, say hello, and silence, then hang up. Only thing I can think is someone was expecting someone to answer in a foreign language, or clankers mapping out which phone numbers have humans attached for later.

Yeah. Lisa is more active than him apparently on Instagram, and he keeps popping up in her posts and looking like he's doing well. Which is relieving.

We still ahve one of those macs in our storage from from the wife's college days. Unrelated:

Three racoons in a trenchcoat.... One here to talk the technology One in Politics to talk social ramifications Kinda surprised there isn't one in the stonkhouse to talk about the market/stock/money game around AI....
