Accidentally bought a v30 SD card. Realized I goofed when I tried shooting in 4k 10bit 4:2:2 bit 120fps. 😂

I listen to Andrea Bocelli (Italian)
I listen to anime (Japanese)
I listen to Bad Bunny, Selena, Eladio, etc (Spanish)
I listen to Bossa Nova (Brazilian)
Nina Simone - Ne me quite pas is my favorite song in French...
All my prerogative. I don't complain about other's preferences.

For years I believed the d in systemd stood for daemon. Why not? Now picture my surprise finding out it stands for nothing. Hogwash or Hogwarts - it's got to be gaslighting Mandela effect or a memory altering horcrux. I can't decide. Whichever it is, it is diabolical 'innit?!

Progress. The goal is progression. Perfection is imaginary. You should have some non-negotiables. You should have some specs. But there should prioritization, chasing perfection and all the ducks in the order is madness. Because the ducks will NEVER ALL be in order.

The wedding scene colors were perfect 60-30-10 scheme.

I love the performance and story. I did wish for a different set list though.

Pokémon for the win!!!

Hashes and Hashbrowns...

My new little shooter

Becoming so good at something that you don't have to do it anymore >>>

I automated, documented, and taught so many things.

Necessity

Because I refuse to be the ONE guy.
Not going to call me on holiday/vacation.

Read my notes, templates, script, wikis, & training.

Sonically, I like the direction North West's beat was going.

Y'all are going to debate it ad nauseam, huh? I have a made a conclusion, not up to debate. I BELIEVE. That is all.

I'm cool with it. But Oda better not get any crazy ideas.

Will Chrissy wake up now?

Time to light up this Vecna pack before 2026.

I always said it wasn't easy.
I always said it was hard work.
I always said it took dry books.
I always said it took getting in the lab...

I NEVER HAVE said it was impossible.

I can do it. But you have to DO IT! You can't afford shortcuts. Ain't no half stepping. ALL IN.

Some things are black and white.
Some things require moderation and balance.
Some things have absolute answers.
Some things need tailored and personalized answers.
You can NEVER go wrong in applying wisdom and discernment to each or in accruing insight and experience from each.

This lady on Jeopardy today is an ASIC engineer. I wish I could break into that.

Imagine creating a room dedicated to something for the purpose of filtering out noise, then here comes what's their name putting noise in the chat. Got to scroll and filter out non sense and AI doesn't have full situational, tactical, or organizational context to discern.

I don't know who need to hear this. Stop adding random other issues in a targeted chat for a specific project or outage triage. Establish some true correlation. Yes, it's another broken thing. But it's not related. It's a distraction. It should go through normal channels.

Always be learning and strive to do your best good.

The stats on Duolingo for South America are interesting. English is the #1 language studied on Duolingo in almost all South American countries. Portuguese is 2nd except in Brazil. In Brazil, Spanish is 2nd. It's so expected, I was expecting more variability.

I love Mariah Carey. But, til this day, that bass is my favorite part of "All I Want for Christmas Is You". It's loose, it's bouncy, it's groove, and it's in DA POCKET like an 8 ball. Add everything else that's great about the song and you get a perennial Christmas classic.

When you screw things up, most people tend to get out of DOGE quick.

Not shabby type ish. Maybe I'm not falling off.

Catppuccin is the best theme imo. Dracula, rosepine, gruvbox, and jade are also in my top 5. I like to occasionally switch it up. But 90% of the time it's one of those. Plus all five themes just work for SecureCRT, Mac/Win/Linux desktops, vim, vs code, terms, & almost all else.
