That feeling when the words start swimming and you just know you ain’t getting anything done.
Thoughts
How many people do you think actually believe the world is flat?
I bet there are two groups. The first is people who never really think about it, but figure it’s probably flat. If you go outside and look, the Earth looks flat. So they just put it in back of head and move on.
The second group is believers who actually think about it, and I bet their argument is ‘The government is lying to us. The government says the Earth is round. Therefore, it is flat.’ Ignoring the logic for a moment, this group is the one that actively believes the Earth has a shape and puts some kind of effort into maintaining the belief that shape is flat. Or anything, really, but a oblate spheroid.
Don’t come at me with oblate ellipsoid arguments. I will hold you in low regard.
Anway, there are probably very few people who actually believe in the flat Earth in any meaningful sense, and I’m certain I spend a lot more time thinking about them then they do about me.
Why can’t I see the Appalachians from the top of Pike’s Peak (if the world was flat)? There’s nothing tall enough to block the view in the way. I was just up Pike’s Peak. I didn’t see the Appalachians. I checked.
They don’t care, but I am so curious.
The Sky is Flat
Flat Earth level up!
They Did My Man Boromir Wrong
I would definitely fall to the power of the ring.
I can’t even make myself go to bed on time.

Movie Details: DnD Honor Among Thieves
There’s a scene in the DnD movie Honor Among Thieves where a danger is evaded in a snarky way. Chris Pine says, “Well, that’s hurtful.”
I defy you to watch that scene and not think it’s a PC talking to a GM who is grinning like an idiot. You know that GM is laughing. You know he, and it’s definitely a he, thinks he is so freaking funny. He’s not even on camera, and you know exactly who he is.
And yeah, GM/DM, whatever. I’m GURPS OG.
Acura TLX
I’ve been looking at the Acura TLX type S. I wish there was a way to chop two feet off in the middle, merge the B and C pillars, and make it a coupe.
It’s a handsome car. The grill isn’t that nice, but the interior looks pleasantly mechanical. I guess retractable screens aren’t a thing. They probably break too often. Other than the poorly integrated screen, the inside looks like an excellent place to spend time.
Why do the rear seats exist? People aren’t going back there.
Minimization
ADAM doesn’t generalize nearly as well as SGDM, and you can really see that when you start using multiple dissimilar data sets. If I’m using a dataset with sharp divergences, ADAM just does not do as well.
Subie
I just saw a license plate that said ‘SUBA UWU’ on a Subaru.
How do you upvote someone in real life, then block them?
Duolingo
My job and school are pretty challenging right now. They’re plates I have to keep spinning.
Behind them is the writing, which is the reason for all of this nonsense. That being said, I can’t be fired from writing so long as I keep writing.
And behind them is working out, eating right, and BJJ. Those are plates that need to spin but can be stopped and started. BJJ is probably the most high-intensity of the group, but I can work down there. Cleaning falls into this group, as does laundry.
Bringing up the rear is sitting on my couch and staring at the ceiling while Hamster Dance plays on endless loop in my head. In there also is reading, video games, and so forth. And somewhere in group 4 is Duolingo, the video game that nags me to play it more. I know they’re trying to encourage me, but I’m about to uninstall because of the stress.
Duo buddy, you need to sit down.
