the amount of AI trance "music" slop on YouTube is hella annoying. sound too clinical, lacking emotion, insanely boring, repetitive beats, and lyrics like they were written by wannabe edgy teenagers🤮

theoretically i have nothing against AI trance music, but only if its just another "instrument"

At the end of the day, life sure can be funny.

At the time all I could do was laugh. Even now, 35-years later, I still crack up about it when retelling the story to different friends. The military does crazy stuff like this to people, but the camaraderie it builds is unlike nothing else I have ever experienced.

Surprise surprise, right?🤭

To this day I firmly believe San Dawg boot camp purposely put us in the same company specifically to fsck with us.

Hanging with an old military friend reminded me of when I was in Navy boot camp. Of all the companies forming every week in San Diego, mine had both a Jarkoff and a Wyckoff. Our company commanders unsurprisingly yet affectionately referred to us as "jack-off" and "whack-off"🤣

Last night I met up with an old Navy buddy. We have known each other for 25 years, and more or less stayed in touch. When I was on shore duty in Yokosuka in the mid-90's, he and I worked quite closely together on a team of two setting up all the communications channels required at the time.

What kind of idiotic shenanigans is this @f1tv.bsky.social Refusing to support @firefox.com on F1TV, claiming its an unsupported browser makes zero technical sense. This nonsense only started during the Las Vegas GP. Firefox handled every race before without an issue. Completely uncool and illogical

surely I cannot be the only person who finds it annoying af when Uber or Grab drivers are wearing headphones, and constantly chatting with someone rather than paying attention to the actual road they are allegedly safely navigating to get me to my destination without issue

Unsurprisingly SG tops the list again, w/JP & SK tied for 2nd. What I do find interesting is the US tied for 10th, falling behind UAE, and most of Europe. Ultimately, not a significant difference since US passports nets access to 182 countries vs SG's 193✈️

i understand all these tech youtubers reviewing new tech, endlessly explaining the specs ad nauseam. this does not provide any real value

give me feedback after exclusively using the product for 2-4 weeks. no spec walkthrough. just real world usage, and then how that compares to similar products

Whether you are visiting Japan or living here long-term, respect is essential. Follow the laws, honor the rules, and pay attention to your surroundings. Japan values harmony and subtlety. Being here means carrying yourself with awareness, humility, and care

Not everything in the cyber threat intelligence industry is broken. But too much is warped just enough to matter.

Threat intelligence was never meant to be theater

It was built to serve defenders. Now it performs for headlines and hides the truth

Finding myself falling out of love with my Apple Watch. It no longer supports me, but competes for my attention. I want a beautifully crafted, Rolex-like analog watch honoring elegance and fine craftsmanship, while offering the fitness tracking of an Apple Watch. Surely someone is working on this🤔

Cyber threat intelligence has been captured by performance and profit. Defenders are waking up. The old model is collapsing. A new one is being built from the ground up.
