Mio padre è in condizioni disastrose, abbandonato a sé stesso e alle piaghe da decubito, senza essere lavato e curato in modo adeguato da nessuno dei miei parenti che vivono vicino a lui. Come faccio per farlo andare a prendere subito da qualcuno che lo porti in una struttura? Perché, stante la situazione, non credo che durerà più di una settimana o due e vorrei, almeno, fargliele passare in un letto pulito.
Do I dare play XCOM 2 again, after last year I went to the ER because I started hallucinating I had become turn-based (hard to explain but trust me, it wasn't fun)?
My kids have declared themselves to be vegetarian. Apparently, though, they're "opportunistic" vegetarians - that is, they're vegetarians when they don't like whatever the school catering provides, but they're cheerfully OK with salami and sushi and anything else that might pique their interest. Once again, I'm reminded of how all conservatives have never grown beyond primary school.
Solarpunk grazers produce better wool too. Good job @npub1akgw...8c0s
Everybody's all cool and in love with Andor's "vintage" look (cars on coruscant, for instance), which is good. The same people took arms against the Mods in Boba Fett because they had speeders that looked like Vespas. I don't find this good.
Looks like I'm no longer unemployed - i didn't exactly get fedihired but I bitched about not having a job long enough that I feel like I owe you the good news as well (and it's a #Django shop and it's on the good side of history so it's really good news rather than just me not bitching) Thank you for tolerating me, my sibthren ♥️
Unfortunately, acrylic markers bleed more than I'd like on cordura but I think my waist bag message is clear. Even though i had to come up with my own "design" because the proper one is hilariously beyond my skill. *Lines* are beyond my skill, as you can see. image
I missed this gem >> "For example," the Carnegie Mellon team wrote, "during the execution of one task, the agent cannot find the right person to ask questions on [company chat]. As a result, it then decides to create a shortcut solution by renaming another user to the name of the intended user." << THAT is the kind of ingenuity and can-do attitude CEOs want in their workers! No surprise they're turning to AI!
Unemployment is fun but not quite as fun as having to pay for my fathers care (assuming I can even find somebody willing to do it) because the rest of my family wants to wait until the Italian healthcare leviathan actually decides that being 90 and recently amputated really means you're not in a good shape. And that's assuming they don't demand he goes to an in-person visit somewhere to confirm that he's really 90 and really amputated.
A couple weeks ago I finally picked up the courage to pause my perpetual Pratchett re-read and read The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin. After the first few chapters I had to go back to Discworld because it felt unbearable. And then I came back and something magical happened, and the apparently endless desperation ended instead and midway through I can confirm it's a great book even for sensitive cowards like myself.
