My employer is all in on Microsoft, copilot is terrible, it can’t even find a word in a document. Cntl+F find’s it no problem.

Now when I have a tech issue that I need an answer for, the bing AI generally gets me a detailed answer on the first try. But it’s my understanding that bings AI is just a reskined ChatGPT.

It’s simple, just look at the picture and…God damn it.

Really needs to be a wikipedia style service for academic papers.

One white legal pad next to my desk, one pocket notebook and travel pen in my pocket. Have a thought or idea, write it down. Every Saturday I type all those notes into a running Google doc for the year and then put a check mark next to it on the paper.

I have a doc for every year. I regularly go back and read though them starting with the most current year and working back. If something is completed or used in a project I use the mark through function on that entry so it can still be read in case it could be helpful again but to signify that I’ve used it.

It’s not a perfect system but it’s helped me a ton.

Great, now I have to research how banana peels are used in water purification…

Nuwave Precision Induction Cooktop Gold, 12”

When our range died it took three weeks to get the new one with induction heating (could have gotten it sooner but agreeing to wait saved $1000, long story) so in the meantime I bought a plug in single pan induction unit and it had a timer on it. Best part is when the timer goes off the heat goes away and you only have to worry about residual heat from the pan.

The range doesn’t have a timer so I still break out the plug in unit when I’m going to let something sit and cook while I do something else.

I work 3rd shift and have the house to myself when I get up on my days off. I’ll grab a cup of tea (I can’t stand coffee) go get on my computer, turn on YouTube or something and every 3 to 4 hours get up and get a new cup of tea since the one I have I’ve only taken a few sips of and has gone cold (I still down it before making a new one). Then in the morning I’ll feel sick and will be asked “what did you eat that could have caused that?” And that’s when I remember I should have eaten once or twice since waking up.

Don’t leave us hanging, what’s the joke?

And then there’s the issue of forgetting to make contact and loosing touch with your friends. Then you feel bad for not making the effort and then put off reaching out out of embarrassment.

I have a playlist on Tidal of metal songs that help me focus called “Work”. When it hits the fan at work and I have to really focus i put it on and let it play song after song until one really clicks and then I hit repeat and will listen to that song over and over.

And this is why I invested in a pocket notebook and travel pen. I also keep a legal pad just for random thoughts at my desk.

I want to be cremated but I also want to be guillotined before being shoved into the fire. Knowing that the likelihood of that actually happening is slim to none, I’m in inclined to request a viewing even though I don’t want one just so they replace my blood with embalming fluid, at least that would ensure I’m dead.

I couldn’t agree more, why I remember the first time I saw Airplane! it was during the war, my wingman George Zipp suggested the film while we were on R&R. I agreed to go with him, more to keep him company than an actual desire to see the film, but to my surprise I actually enjoyed it. On our way home we stopped by a disco… <entire comment section self-immolates>

I get it, my dad worked in corporate aviation, my aunt worked in commercial aviation, and I worked in cargo aviation. I also have a little second hand knowledge of military aviation. Anytime there’s something with planes in TV or film, I cringe… well except for Airplane! but that should go without saying.

Wow I had never heard of that before, I just spent some time reading up on it and I think I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks!

Gotcha
