I'm not sure. My wife bought it for me. I thought magnesium was magnesium.

I've started taking magnesium to help me sleep. It doesn't seem to have made any difference, but at least my cremation will be exciting.

Disagree. There's a million talented people you've never heard of, because they are stuck behind starbucks counters earning money to pay their bills. Even the talented nepo babies had resources not available to everyone else.

Good so far, but I've only had it for a few hours. On the train this morning I watched a "Mac for Windows Users", which cleared up a few things.

I realised I now use all 3 - Home PC is Windows (which I probably won't use much now), Laptop is Mac, Work is Linux.

Bought a macbook air M4 24gb. It was a return, and theyd had it a while, so got it about 600 bucks off.

Never used a mac before, so will take a little getting used to.

Seems I need to decide between Sequoia and Tahoe. I stayed on Sequoia for now.

@occlupanid.bsky.social Hey, I discovered your page a couple of days ago, and would like to hook it up to my veins. Thank you for your research. It's inspired me to create something, which I will post about once it's live. Should it live.

Three giant occlupanopsid-like entitiess, the size of drink coasters, part of a museum gift-wrapping service at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan. Local specimen of Diplacofelis wangi shown for scale.

While it is the opinion of reputable synthetic taxonomists that specimens of this scale are probably too large to be considered microsyntherans, the exquisite gilded markings were too elaborate for the visiting scholars to resist, and so several specimens were collected on site.

I used it because I use VS Code, and it's part of that (all being Microsoft of course).

I also tried AWS Q, briefly, which was worse that Github Copilot.

Me also. I have a blog post about trying Github Copilot, and not finding it very useful. Had a conversation with a mate, who convinced me to try Claude, and well, now I need to write a new blog post.

I bought a synth. A Behringer Deepmind 12. Due to arrive yesterday, but I suspect it will be late.

I installed the iPad app that you can control it with, and fuck me it has a lot of options. Somewhat overwhelmed, and I haven't even got the synth yet.

You should watch How To With John Wilson. As well as being a great show, one episode is about a guy into foreskin restoration. Which he does while discussing what movies he watched recently.

I dont want to ruin it, but if you're not sold, ill give you more details.

Interestingly, if you google the phrase, a mix of with and without s comes up, even for newspapers and the like.

Daylight Savings ended this morning, which seemed to cause my router to stop working for Ethernet connections. The pihole/dns/dhcp server is on Ethernet, and so everything stopped working.

I've made probably about 7 of them, over the years. Been out of the hobby a while, but still have a few of these in the garage.

My elderly neighbour had the same problem. I don't think he was trying to go to the moon though.

Setting up home assistant. I've done it before, got bored, and it died.

Doing this now, because I have some cameras I want to record movement, and homeassistant seems to be the easiest way of doing it. Which is saying something.

I had not, because I mostly do not run services on teapots.

I seem to have fixed it by disabling some wordpress security plugin. I doubt it did anything useful anyway.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
