So mini-biz is on hiatus until the end of the month. You can still check out my stock and order things, they just won’t go out until I get back (assuming mail service has resumed).

And you’ll even get 15% off your order while I’m gone!

I mean baseball is definitely a sport that doesn't need your constant attention. I did try to watch some of the playoffs this year. But usually opted to just check the score somewhat regularly.

Do you want content with less plot in order to better consume two things at once?

MacGruboooooo @loxy.bsky.social · 1h

I can't do two eye things at once. I'll do two things at once but it's like clay and tv or podcast and design. But never design (on computer) and tv.

MacGruboooooo @loxy.bsky.social · 1h

I don't think I ever do.

MacGruboooooo @loxy.bsky.social · 1h

Well that's disappointing.

MacGruboooooo @loxy.bsky.social · 2h

Different media at the same time.

MacGruboooooo @loxy.bsky.social · 2h

Whoa… people do this? I just can’t even.

I only have text messages and soccer notifications on my phone, so I don’t ignore it that long but definitely for periods.

Alas, I’m in the UK now!

I think we need to worry about bsky going through perimenopause.

I have only had lunch from takeaway (market) restaurants so far. Otherwise all my other food is the free hotel breakfast and then stuff from the grocery store.

MacGruboooooo @loxy.bsky.social · 3h

Yeah the problem with hotel stays is that I can’t get real groceries with no fridge, so I’m not seeing the same level of difference.

I mean I would still pay $2 back home. It’s just $4 now.

Award-winning pain researcher here. This is not something that can be done. Hope this helps.

“In nursing homes, neonatal units, and ICU wards, researchers are racing to turn pain—medicine’s most subjective vital sign—into something a camera or sensor can score as reliably as blood pressure.”

AI is changing how we quantify pain

Artificial intelligence is helping health-care providers better assess their patients’ discomfort.

It’s just interesting what things are the same price dollar amount as I would pay at home, and what things are doubled.

(Obviously there are places where things are cheaper. I was just wanting to grab a cola to keep me awake earlier.)

It’s tough to see a can of pop is £2 which is $4 Canadian.

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.

On Oct. 15, 1872, 19 people from the USS Polaris became stranded on an ice floe near Greenland. They drifted on the ice for six months and 2,900 km before they were rescued near Newfoundland.
Their survival was thanks to Ipirvik and Taqulittuq.
This is the story.

The image shows two black-and-white photographs side by side. The left photo depicts a person wearing a fur-lined hood and garment, suggesting traditional cold-weather attire. The right photo shows a person dressed in a plaid dress with a white collar and a decorative brooch, featuring a more formal and structured style.

I’m always shocked/impressed that somehow I’ve fit so much stuff in my basket that it is too much for like four reusable bags.

That’s where that photo looking out at the trees is from. It was near but they have the sound up real loud in there!

'Sora cost $20 a month & subscribers can generate an unlimited number of AI videos... this costs (Sora owners) OpenAI "at least $5 per 10-second video"'.

Journalists, please ask more questions about how this tech could ever in a million years make a profit?

studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:

DEI counters prejudice and discrimination that otherwise bias evaluations of merit. DEI *is* a merit principle.
