Okay, you may pet me again.

Oh, we are home again. If you need me I will be sulking in the closet. You will not need me.

So glad I have nice bright lighting in my recording studio now.

God it’s so dark out and it’s only 3:30

Please bring back the person with the soft jacket. I like her.

Funnily enough the intern said her partner’s name is also Fiona and was wearing a charm bracelet with her name on it. She was looking forward to seeing another Fiona today.

But she enjoyed the intern who was shadowing the vet. Never saw her get that cuddly with anyone else before.

Fiona is doing well at least. Gonna start her on prednisone for her asthma, and her teeth have gotten really bad but she’s so old that doing an extraction is super risky especially with her heart murmur.

Doesn’t help that this is the first time I’ve driven since she last had to go to the vet months ago and I had an anxiety attack on the way

I’m just always so tired and being this tired is why I’m a month late on this checkup

Probably should have taken a Lyft but that’d have cost like $8 each way to go half a mile

Sure is fun taking my cat to the vet for her annual checkup when I’m starting to have a fatigue crash

Oh, you have put down the black fabric box thing by the couch. How interesting.

Oh, you are picking me up? Yay, I enjoy cuddleNO WHY ARE YOU PUTTING ME IN THE BOX

I DO NOT WISH TO GO INTO THIS GENTLE NIGHT!

hey Seattle friends, I've upgraded from a Sodastream to a Drinkmate Omnifizz, and I also have a bunch of soda syrups that I'm trying to get rid of and don't want to go to waste. Anyone want it? I'll include the machine, four drink bottles, and a bunch of syrup, but no CO2 cylinder (since the Drinkmate is compatible).

Oh my fucking god why am I being inundated with spam text messages from unnamed roofing companies who are “now in my area” and want to know if I’m interested in a new roof? And they all address me by name? I mean I’m sure there’s plenty of ways for scammers to have gotten my name and number at this point but. Why are they all roofers?

Probably the best take I’ve ever seen on the use of AI in software development (particularly the House House situation): https://www.possibilityspace.org/blog/posts/in-defence-of-giving-a-shit/

oh my fucking god people are still debating the trans sports ban everywhere I look and nobody is convincing anyone of anything and it's just causing people to dig in their heels about being even more transphobic

or at least that's been the case on nextdoor and all the Seattle/Washington-related subreddits

which are frankly already shitholes that I need to stop spending time on anyway but still

You, an AI Booster: "LLMs mean more people can program."
Me, a realist: "LLMs mean more incompetent people can pretend to program."

I guess I should clarify that like, okay, in BotW there *were* little mini-narratives and subplots for the various side quests (and TotK got some of it too although most of it didn't feel very well-constructed), but the main plot of the game itself was just like, Link! He come to town!
