Does this Neuralink stuff remind anyone else of Flowers for Algernon? The patient experiences temporary enhancement and then has it slowly taken away. I fear the potential psychological impact.
So, uh, is the punchline of The Big Bang Theory just misogyny?
I don’t watch the show, but every time I’m exposed to it, that’s the impression I get.
Been keeping an eye on the GitHub milestone as the issues were slowly crossed off the list. Very glad to see the release of Neovim v0.10.
So many great improvements with this release! Congrats to the team!

Well, I just watched Red vs Blue: Restoration. I suppose that’s it. Red vs Blue is over. I was late to the series, having only discovered it in recent years, but that doesn’t make seeing it end any easier.
Restoration felt rushed and unpolished. I think an extra half hour on it’s runtime would have it many favours. It certainly wasn’t the best ending, but it was an ending, and that’s something.
It’s sad to see things end but I think it’s important to simply value the memories they created. After all, memory is the key
Thanks Rooster Teeth.
Got 5G for the first time today. It is significantly faster then my home Wi-Fi network…

Just finished my big site update. Took a bit, but it’s more accessible, responsive, and a lot easier to work with into the future.
Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand national day of remembrance marking the 1915 Gallipoli landings.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

YouTube, do you care to explain what the hell I’m looking at?
Seeing X (formerly Twitter) fall victim to clbuttic has to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen recently.

Minecraft, Nostalgia, and Growing Up
I'm feelin' nostalgic for the block game.
A look back on Minecraft, its editions, its culture, and how it shaped me as a person as I transition into adulthood.

It is with great joy that I announce I am now 18 years of age.
I shall now proceed to destroy my body and mind with recreational drugs.
The first quarter of the year has been vanquished, and now the second takes its place.
The dead internet theory was better as a conspiracy theory and not as a slowly encroaching reality…
