I picked up granddaughter from school and had a hankering to listen to Astronaut In The Ocean by Masked Wolf. We were both grooving out to it and I asked: "Do you know this song?" "Yeah, I remember it from when I was a kid" "You're 9..." (she's 8, but she does the Thai thing of saying the next bday)

Barely a day goes by where I don't read about some new creative way of bending the rules. It never fails to amaze me just how good we are as a species at finding loopholes or unfair advantages. I present: bra-maxxing/boobgate www.thenewdaily.com.au/sport/2026/0...

Tour cyclists face extra checks amid padded-bra cheating claims

Riders in the Tour de France Femmes are facing extra clothing checks amid claims some may be using bra padding to gain an advantage.

This tells me that I actually got a chance to put headphones on and rock out a lot during July. FFDP do tend to come up in a lot of the auto generated playlists though - the moment I put anything heavy on, it'll lead back to some FFDP.

I watched Ladies In Black on Netflix and really liked it. Very easy watch. www.imdb.com/title/tt6684...

Wife and I went for lunch. Bill came, 950 baht. Wife asked me to take a photo of it, which is odd, she doesn't normally care. We got back to the car and she wanted to see the bill. She thought it was a bit expensive for two people, this wasn't a fancy joint.

Reckon the eggs are cooked? I think that is 5611 hours, 18 minutes and 31 seconds. Which is December 2025. WTF windows?

"Science is hard when cheese is involved." Ain't that the truth. (discussing edibles, dosing, the effects of food, etc, with Gemini and it dropped that gem on me)

Haha, I named the admin user God. This is in the activity log

Heh, wow. Turns out we've been paying some sort of government fee for the house that we didn't need to, for the last 4 years.

Wife wanted a new blender a few weeks ago, so we got one. She's used it once or twice. I've used it every day to make smoothies/thickshakes/milkshakes 😆

Woo, there's a solution. Sort of. YT Music has been dragging their heels adding a block, so there's a Chrome/Firefox/MS extension called ytm-block that adds a block option to the web UI. Which, given I'm running the web option "installed" as a PWA, works a treat for me. github.com/Labreo/ytm-b...

Grr. I was hoping that YouTube Music wouldn't be as prone to AI slop as Spotify was. Nope. futurism.com/artificial-i... Every time there's cover art that looks AI generated, if I've not heard of the artist I google them. Sadly this one is AI. FFS, there's enough real artists out there!

Fuck adulting. Fuck it so much. Can I go back to eating crayons?

Rode past this joint last week. Thought it was a new ice cream shop. Checked google maps this morning to see what time they close, thought I might take granddaughter after school. I was most surprised to find out it's a mobile phone shop 😆

It's been A Week for the last couple of weeks. Finally got a chance to relax, put headphones on and get some work done this arvo. Mother in law is visiting at the moment to help wrangle grandson. She's part of the reason I can relax.

I don't reckon I ever watched this video back in the day. 30 years later, it looks like ai slop. The Offspring were pioneers 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iNb...

The accents and the dot on the j combined in "Déjà vu" tickle my brain. Is the j broadcasting the same thing over and over, so we get the sense that we've seen it before?

Nice I didn't buy this, I couldn't justify 69 baht for 5 tiny slices of pepperoni and cheese. I was damn close though.

Not me getting angry at the LLM, then apologising. There's probably a metaphor or simalie or somethingsomething for life just there.

This might be a problem. I "discovered" these Tawandang White Spirit 80 proof at CJ tonight. Very similar taste to Black Cock which I actually love. Only 70 baht for a 330ml which will absolutely knock your socks off. At least it might stop me buying weed cookies - the munchies are not good.

I just asked my vibe coding bud "do you have to deal much with drunk typos" and: "Re drunk typos: only when the variable names start looking like setStauts and handelClik. “Lighter saturation” was clear" I know the finished code is never going to be as good as Hand Crafted, but it's nice sometimes

Ha, spotted in Big C. A normal pack of Shin Ramyun is 45 baht, these special Jay Fai ones are 60. Pretty on brand for Jay Fai 😆

Price of living in one neat graph. We regularly buy the same brand of rice, 15kg bag, from the same rice shop. Sometimes I go to a more expensive shop, they're not on this chart though. This is purely comparing apples to apples. Low of 510 baht, high of 615 baht, 2 or 3 years of data points.

Record Label Claims That Bizarre AI-Generated "Viking Rappers" Garnering Millions of Views are Real People

An "independent label" is cranking out AI slop of "viking rappers" and Christian rockers — and raking in millions of follows and listens.

Ugh, that was a bit of a failure. Any cheap charlies who can't cook out there wondering if a Knorr Tom-Yum stock cube would be nice broken up and mixed with rice: No, no it is NOT. The roof of my mouth has a coating now that is unpleasant. And the flavour wasn't very good either.

I'm waiting at the mechanic for some repairs. A guy just offered me a beer or a water. I took the water. 40 year old Dan is giving me a look, 20 year old Dan isn't speaking to me

@linipnilson.bsky.social with your fancy new Thai ID card you could register for the new 60/40 scheme the government is running 🎉 My wife remembered about 8am and sprinted to the phone to get it done 😆

Thanks to "Leo The Wildlife Ranger" I just learnt I've been pronouncing Tapir wrong forever. I confidently said "That's a tap-ear" when granddaughter asked what one animal is, only for the show to say "It's a taper" 🤦‍♂️😆

Can't breathe, wheezing. The poor little thing 🤣

Thought you all might need to see my puppy seeing some food above her, deciding to sit super still as she takes aim, and then jumping up to eat a cashew nut through a glass table she does not comprehend as existing.

Pleated skirts are bollocks

You know, I was just saying the other day that I hate it when my pencil case up and does a runner. Glad the boffins at the lab picked up the vibes I was putting out and brought out this Stationary Box.
