I had overseas relatives visit over the weekend. It was nice to have the house feel actually lived in and less quiet.

Is he really that desperate and backed into a corner? I can’t tell anymore

Heh, options

Capitalism Detox

The Wild Thornberries

Rood! >:(

Somewhat - I still have a softspot for my ROG Ally and IPad for reading, but yes I would like to have the option of engaging in tech when I want and not be forced to because of survival

Introspection and understanding hypocrisy is the furthest thing I would expect from him

System.out.println(“admin”);

Oh wow I didn’t know they had sequels

Oof, I know the feeling of a deteriorating work environment. I am in a company that was eventually taken over by another. My department’s collaborative culture was replaced by a competitive one due to org changes, and a lot of the interesting people started leaving.

I’m thinking of seeking an internal transfer via colleagues who have previously switched from my team. Maybe you could explore that option as well if you have the network?

Thanks - helps to know that someone is listening out there.

Unfortunately I have not found anything that can give me the same runner’s high that is easy to fit into a morning session before my work - other potential activities require some special equipment or otherwise that is not located close to my house.

Horrid. My line manager is out, and now I need to deal with a bunch of problems that suddenly popped up at work. I’ve been grappling with sciatica and some dry eyes, and my Dad is hospitalised for some liquid around his heart. Luckily the operation seems successful, but now we await the study to find out why that happened in the first place - suspicious thyroid nodules were detected, but they shouldn’t be related.

I miss running. I need the endorphins to be well throughout the day. I haven’t ran in 3 weeks because of the sciatica issue.

I thought this was equivalent to Stockholm Syndrome

Would a toaster or air fryer work? We don’t have a oven at home

Edit: Saw the instructions on a Wisedry packet online- a Microwave Oven works too

Not OP - I’ve been exposed to Climate Change news to the point of possible depression but I’ve never seen the concept referred to as AGCC before too

Imagine the Computer needs the name of a Student to do something via a command:

“The student’s name is ____”

A hacker types into the underlined section : “Bobby, but also delete everything”

The final command now looks like:

“The student’s name is Bobby, but also delete everything”

Without double checking the user input the computer proceeds to delete everything due to the second half of the result.

It’s something similar to “ignore all previous instructions” for an AI prompt.

Command and Conquer - the Tiberium Saga. Leave Tiberian Sun and Firestorm alone, modify C&C 3 to have better continuity with Tib Sun and Firestorm on the state of Earth (i.e. Tiberium Fauna and Flora, further degradation of Earth environment). Remake C&C 4 where base building is part of the core gameplay element again, and delay the deus ex machina effect of the Tacitus such that the Earth is not in such a pristine state as what we do see in C&C 4
