A wax figure of former President Donald Trump, dressed in a black suit, white shirt, and red tie, stands in front of an American flag. The headline below the image states, "San Antonio Wax Museum Removes Trump Figure Because Visitors Kept Punching It.
How to deal with fascists 101.
I asked ChatGPT to make an image of the path of Hurricane Milton and to focus on Florida. This is the image that GPT hallucinated. I can't tell if I'm more fond of the state of Northern Florida or the name of the water south of the Gulf of Mexico Mexico.
Maybe my annual Chinese dinner will have to change now that I’m type II. :-(
December 24th 9pm Eastern Standard Time. From here on in I shoot without a script.
It was an amazing year for travel.
Only took 20 minutes in the car to face Whamhalla down. I have had a glorious battle.
Amazons workers across 20 countries, including the United States, are striking against what the organizing labor union calls anti-worker and anti-democratic practices.
Damn it I'm an idiot. I was trying to figure out why the 8 chairs I ordered for the holiday for our guests were so damned cheap. Turns out I ordered slip covers, not chairs. Now I have 24 hours to figure out chairs for 8 people. F*&#!
It's been so long since the days of Pre-Russia LiveJournal that I feel like I've forgotten how to write/blog. A friend put a bee in my bonnet to try streaming; but I have no idea what to do with that. Hell, it took years to figure out an app and a podcast. I guess I'm just slow of ideas. :-/
I'm reaching a point where I'm tired of blending in and hiding among the masses. I want to be out and proud. I want to be the one demonstrating for people's rights. I want to make waves and help institute change.
So, I think I'm going to be slowly migrating my personal posts from FB to here. The audience is much smaller. But the vibe is so much better.

I understand we’re having another spike of new arrivals from That Other Place, so welcome, here’s a celebratory fruit basket, please be aware that orcas are our national mammal here, they embody the “fuck it, we wreckin’ yachts” revolutionary proletariat spirit we prize so highly
Sorry, I had a typo in the domain. The email is <andrei@nichecoders.com> Sorry for any inconvenience.
I tried submitting on the form but there was a server error on submission. Thus the attempt at direct contact.
Wonderful, thank you so much. I have questions about fancons.com but there is no contact person. It took a lot of research to get to your name. I was wondering if you could email me at <andrei@nichcoders.com> I have a possible extension to the site and would like to discuss it. Thanks so much.
I’m on a mission to find a way to contact @pdelahanty.bsky.social. My research into adequate.com hit a rather painful dead end.
Shalom

Insane? Probably. Vague Purchasing. Now we'll see if this was a good purchase or simply the Vision of a fan boy.

I always love the share sheet. Now it's a question of how to coalesce different views into a sharable image in SwiftUI

Today was a dive into the lower APIs to look at CIImage and CGImage. Some truly old "magic string" APIs. But a good grounding to understand filters.
What is this "Coding to the happy path" of which you speak. I'm Eastern European. I assume everything is going to fail. 115 lines of code, the happy path is the last 8 lines.
I love the Circle so much. It shows a community cohesion that seems to defy exclusion. This is what we need in these hard times.
