Yes pounds sterling, gambled on the finest American clinical-stage biopharma for that sweet sweet volatility.

~£50,000 overnight fucking around with meme stocks. Good times. 2021 was a wild year.

How much was it? I want to know if I'm winning lol

I know a few UK people who moved to your country, all have pretty much vowed never to return to the UK. Every time I visit I wonder how you manage to do things so right (at least in comparison to the UK). The equivalent of UK council estates are a completely different vibe over there, the children seem so much happier and the work culture so much more chill.

As a commercial photographer I have been waiting for pushback from consumers wanting to see actual photos of the actual product they're thinking about buying. But it seems nobody gives a shit and is happy with the slop. It's maddening. Some of the shit I've seen, technical garments with product shots that hallucinate non existent features, panels in the wrong place, its bonkers. It's not even subtle details.

The pushback is not mainstream. At least it's not filtered through in any meaningful way to any business decisions yet. Nobody is hiring photographers when they can just hit the slop button and be done with it. I'm also convinced some are deliberately putting this shit out there purely for engagement purposes, it creates controversy and drives clicks.

Look at the fashion band Mango. They did a high-profile AI campaign, stopped shooting real models/clothes. They caught some shade but it did not affect sales, just a short term period of controversy, which management were probably were very happy with.

Scissii duh

So obviously this is sacrilege and I would never suggest this to a Canadian IRL, but there are so many ways to make a poutine-inspired dish. Roast potatoes (cut into smaller cubes), onion gravy, some kind of sausage and brie (or your cheese of choice). I make it with roast dinner leftovers and it slaps.

Yes that's why I said poutine-inspired. I'm aware of what poutine is.

I mostly miss the degauss button. And all the free steel balls fron the mice, they were good for milling media.

One of the shittest cars I ever owned (Ford Fusion) turned the volume way down when stopped automatically. Should be standard but I've never seen it any other car.

Red and green should ne'er be seen!

Uni halls with international students who have zero real world skills, and are used to the staff/maid cooking for them. They started 3 fires and ruined so much food before giving up on using the kitchen altogether.

Definitely a skill issue at play here.

As a Giger fan I would like to remind everyone that the guy bought a fucking castle and made it into an amazing musuem. It's also in Gruyere so if you happen to also like cheese you're gonna have the best day ever.

I know quite a few fashion brands are quietly switching to AI. As in scrapping whole departments of people who deal with production. Waiting for the push back from consumers but something makes me think this is just going to be the new normal for a while. It's looking pretty grim for anyone working in the industry.

Taking an international flight tomorrow, Friday 13th. My wife is in 11A. Not sure how to feel about this.

"rocket-like, bullet-proof steel materials" nice one BBC

Pretty sure you can eat Fluorescein with no ill effects other than turning your piss dayglo. It's very widely used as a 'non-toxic' tracer dye so I'd imagine studies have been done.
