I found out my automatic feeder is just ignoring daylight savings time. I'm getting the notifications "an hour early", and the app acknowledges them as being an hour early, but it still checks off the correct feeding time in the app, so I guess it all works out?

I don't care unless I'm drinking the Kool aid and actually really wanted the feature. If it's not something I personally use: who cares? Bit of a bummer that feels like it was all for nothing, but ultimately I still got paid for that time and effort, which is all I'm really going for anyways.

Honestly, my right hand looks BETTER than my left hand. Only explanation that makes sense to me that I've heard is that since I know I suck with my left hand, I take it much slower and pay more attention.

I mean... We basically knew that this was going to happen when they suddenly cared about API usage and staff were reverting people's comments/posts when they tried to mass-delete/poison them.

I found this out when an old phone stopped getting updates, so I was gonna push a third-party OS, but no, even though it was a carrier unlocked MODEL, Verizon locked it and refuses to unlock it. So the phone is just gonna be out of date forever, I guess!

To be fair, I caused a massive problem when I accidentally filled the drive completely, so I've been a little more conservative while I shop for a larger HDD. Thinking of getting a 20TB HDD so I don't have to have 4 different drives plugged into my computer. (I remember when my 3TB drive was considered crazy big...)

That's what I was thinking! Mine is over half a TB at this point!

Honestly I constantly get home and go to take out my keys and remember like 3 pieces of trash in there...

Two-Dice Pig. So not a super complicated game, but still fun to try to leverage the... 3 point totals to calculate a risk vs desperation factor. Though looking at the code again, the hard limits feel weird. Like just straight up not allowing the risk of more than 35 points at a time (100 is a winning score, tho)? Though I do remember that I HAD to add the condition to force it to claim victory or it'd essentially get too cocky and would lose everything. I know that two-dice pig is essentially a solved game (as much as you can solve a game that relies on random chance), but I felt using a lookup table was boring, and wanted it to feel like it was actually an AI that could make mistakes, and had a semblance of a personality.

Honestly one of my most competent "AIs" (that wasn't ML) just did a whole bunch of math to calculate an optimal strategy, but to make it feel more human, I added a few other things, like how desperate it was to win this round so it could have a chance of continuing, a bit of arrogance if it was winning (it was a bit heavy in the beginning. Had to add checks for "if you've already won, submit your victory instead of becoming so arrogant you lose everything!"), and to top it all off: a random number generator that could make it pick the opposite of what it wanted to if the confidence strength wasn't high enough. Just made it a little less predictable.

Honestly made every competition against it really close. And certainly way better than the people who solved it with a simple "randomly choose an action to complete"... Which was most of the class.

I find the opposite funny, too. Tripping on a chicken and suddenly gelling like 5 "quest failed" notifications for quests I didn't even have before then.

I still read "unionized" as "un-ionized" when not primed for union talk...
