As someone who devoured the books as a kid, I've been very disappointed in finding out JK Rowlings is a a TERF. Your post sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I've read up on some of the issues that people pointed out in the books. To me, some are valid, some seem to be a bit far-fetched..? For example, I'm not sure why she is labeled pro-slavery? Just because she writes that people in her fantasy world don't seem to have a problem with it?

Not defending Rowling btw, just trying to understand some of the points better.

Never thought it's gonna be so much fun! Now I wanna get into rock crawling and asked my friend to print me a new chassis for the TRX-4M, so fucking hyped!

What's your current project?

Wow, most of these points just sound like a responsible way to handle all the bullshit requests from employees. I'm not saying make it unnessecarily painful for employees to request changes. However, I currently work at a company that did the "just do it" approach for years, got big with it and now our department needs to clean up the bullshit of many years to get the company up to code with whatever regulations we are under and people still think we can continue working just like that.

Sounds stupid compared to other stuff here, but a Traxxas TRX-4M 1/18 RC Scale Crawler. I bought it on a whim and then got into modifying it. I've been putting in a bit of money, but it's super fun to play with it and it gets me out of the house to explore the neighbourhood for some good places to crawl it.

It's not about AI specifically. It's about the awareness that, as soon as you post it to social media, your personal information is not under your control anymore. There was and is still a good reason why you should not post personal info on the internet, even on seemingly "safe" spaces like social media pages.

But people in general don't care anyway and they won't care about this headline too.

What the fuck. Now go after their clients.

Ok, it's the routine that stuck the longest with me. When working from home, I will pause work to do something like 25 push-ups, some squats, sit-ups, or some weights every hour. Just switch them up between. That way I can do up to 100 push-ups in a day and other exercises. It has worked out pretty well so far.
