I’m so tired of hearing about how the new AI thing is the best thing ever and spending hours criticizing AI to my friends and family and coworkers, so I wrote a shortcut on my phone that uses AI to criticize AI for me and just copies it to my clipboard. This is gonna save me so much time.

I'm looking for VR coworking buddies. Does anyone here use Immersed?
It would be nice to just sit in a room doing separate things together sometimes.

20NL Holdem
"There is more land in the northern hemisphere than the south," Holme said. "In northern summer, the trees get leaves, this means that mass is moved from the ground to above the ground — further away from the Earth's spin axis.” The rate of rotation of any moving body is affected by its distribution of mass. When an ice skater spins on the spot, they rotate faster when their arms are tight to their chest, and slow themselves down by stretching their arms out. As Earth’s mass moves away from its core in summer, its rate of rotation must decrease, so the length of the day increases, Holme explained.

... well God Damn.

Live Science
Earth is going to spin much faster over the next few months — so fast that several days are going to get shorter
Differences in the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon will make July 9, July 22 and August 5 unusually short.
Does anyone else work in VR in immersed? Interested in coworking sometime?
I think I’m done with monitors, and living in an RV it’s really nice to be able to jump into an office environment.
I busted open the Pirate Kake today. People say this is a latakia bomb.
I say it’s just right. I liked it a lot.

Wow. I wasn't interested in the Meta Quest because I thought it was a gimmick, but this might be the coolest thing I've ever seen. I'm blown away working in VR. This is incredible.
Here we go, Friday night pipe and $20NL tournament.

The dog wanted to play this morning and scratched me right in the eyeball. It hurt like a bastard. I hoped if I just slept it off it’d be fine, but then I looked at the moon and it had some shit shining out of it that … wasn’t.
So now I’m at the emergency room looking cool.


I finally gave this classic a try. I'd read lots of reviews on it and it still wasn’t quite what I expected. Of all the pipe tobacco I have (30+ blends) this is the one that tastes most like a cigaratte. This tastes like what an American would say “tobacco” tastes and smells like.
I haven’t smoked cigarettes in a long time, but this was very familiar. It tasted like the highest quality no-additive cigaratte you can imagine. Of all of my blends and myriad nicotine delivery devices - it’s the only one that’s given me a nicotine buzz.
I’d buy more of this, definitely - but I do prefer a lot of other aromatic and english blends to it.

Escalante Utah is a place few people would visit in the winter. I had the opportunity to stay there some time and experience some incredible sunsets.

I got into smoking cigars like 20 years ago. I figured I don’t drink alcohol and wanted a defined gentlemanly hobby.. so I went cigar nuts.
So I could smoke cigars in the house I bought this well reviewed ozone generate to combat the smell. It was like $300 - and when I got it, I was pretty disappointed at what a cheap device it is.
After some months, it stopped working and I reached out to the company. It was out of warranty of course, but they offered me a 10% coupon on a new one.
So now I’m like 500 bucks into this POS and a few months later it stops working again. Since I spent so much on the thing I never got rid of it.
I just decided to pull this fucker out and take a look.
There’s a device in these called a corona discharge plate. It works by using high voltage to split oxygen (O2) molecules into atoms, and then when they recombine they do it into ozone (O3) molecules.
Yeah, it gets dirty. I just had to wipe it off.

I spent a summer out in Utah during monsoon season trying to capture lightning storms.
After about a month of standing out in the desert holding a big metal tripod on the top of a butte, I realized maybe that wasn't such a great idea.
I'm still alive though.
