  • My mom is in her 70s, she spends all her time collecting old antique dolls to make clothes for and 1950s and 60s ceramic vases. I understand it is to distract her from grief over my sister’s death so I say nothing but remind her to book more therapy sessions.

    I know I’ll just be inheriting three (and counting) display cabinets of German pottery and having a bonfire of dolls.






  • I work in a warehouse, I come in at 7 and leave around 330. I put away freight, help the occasional customer, pick orders, ship out orders. AI can’t do any of that in a small town. It still tries to get in where it can like customers wanting industrial automation products that have AI programming but that is way above my pay grade.

    My previous job in a warehouse they were trying to do away with the manual routing of delivery routes by using an “AI” routing program but it was just an automated routing program they slapped the AI label on to charge more. It was just following rules not being actually intelligent.

    Marriage was the sale of goods in trade for goods or a further trading relationship.

    The goods were a woman and a dowry, the trade was two families having a long term business relationship or if it was royalty then a short or long term peace treaty between countries or fiefdoms.

    Likely the discussion of children in case of rich families and royalty back in the day, was how many wet nurses and maids were needed to take care of the children so they could be not seen and not heard until they were adults.

    It may not be the intended purpose but I certainly does change how the world is seen by everyone using it to warp the mind’s eye to how the world actually physically is.

    Edit: Does it do an excellent job for navigational purposes if you are shipping from Japan to Brazil or it it only excellent for shipping from the northern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere?


  • I was using Mint for a while with my 10 year old PC build that was crashing all the time then I upgraded my system and Mint didn’t have support for my newer video card so I moved to Nobara.

    I haven’t had to use the terminal at all since. I run the update system program every few days but I’m sure it could be automated without needing a password but I like seeing what is being updated so I keep it manual.

    It has much more support for games than Mint seems to have had. I could use the terminal if I wanted to but it hasn’t been needed which is how I want it, available but unnecessary.
