For the most part I have hideously hard to find veins. Then for some reason every now and again I find some magical person and there like "tap tap tap... poke... done" and I always try to remember their names.

So I am of two minds on this one... First, with as many times as finding my squirrely veins has been an adventure that ended up with me having multiple jabs, multiple locations, and a lot of pain I welcome an accurate technological solution. But on the other hand, will I trust this shit...

No, it was sitting down on the console, so not in the full Texas sun. (i.e. August in Texas). And the Waze+stream+occasional zoom combo platter is my usual modus operandi when I'm on the road for work. Which is why this time was kinda jarring. But like I said, it's a 6 year old phone...

damn embeds..

Are you talking about AI (Artificial Intelligence) or AI (Another Indian)?? But seriously, I am at the same point. In my new gig I'm trying to embrace Claude since it's the company standard and I get what I think is some kind of AYCE plan on it for tokens. Designing a whole new demo...

I have a Samsung s20 and it did the overheating thing for the first time this last week. Admittedly I was in the car, it was connected to android auto, pushing waze, I was streaming media, and then hopped on a zoom call with video.... But it was still annoying when it started overheating and...

Because I feel a bunch of people around here deserve to felt "seen"...

Fuck....

Don't know if it's available on iPhone, but they have Brave for Android and that's what I use on my phone..

What browser are you using? I'm on Brave and I haven't seen an ad in forever....

What I've seen more is something which came about during Covid. Instead of having menus, they will have a QR code on the table. You scan it and read the menu on your phone. And yes, I have seen completely done up exploits where people put stickers on tables with URLs leading to Android and...

Hearing a summary of how this thing works essentially it is this : You get diagnosed with Melanoma They take a sample of the cancer from you Since it's based on your genetic they have to gene sequence it. Look at that compared to your regular genetics and look for markers that differentiate...

In my head essentially there's "Young James Spader" and "Old James Spader" as two essentially completely different people. Young is the OG Daniel Jackson, and from all those brat pack movies. Old is Raymond Reddington and the voice of Ultron. I still think of Ultron as "Mecha Reddington"...

I'm in the boat with "The first was fantastic, the second was forgettable, and honestly I forgot they were even making a third..."

It's based in England... It will be a fat Pakistani Lesbian

I think Dinklage could probably rock as Q. If you're going to stick with a female M shift over to Helen Mirren. And yeah, a mini series with other double 0's getting killed leading them to reach for a new, younger, savvier replacement for the previous 007 (who was killed prior to the series as...

I could see it. If they're going for X-men in their 20's, and Xavier and Magneto need to be a generation older, then 40's fit. Right now they need to focus on "Let's make one really kick ass Xmen movie to get people back into this the Marvel Machine, then MAYBE a Trilogy". Anybody at...

If you watch the trailer apparently a big portion of the movie happens "inside Vision's mind" where he has a virutal house, with people representing apparently different system processes, all looking like humans, including Vision himself (I'm sure Paul Bettany thanks God for that favor). Since...

This is the REAL closure we need after No Way Home... Ignore the translation for maximum video impact ;)

Summed up in the wisdom I learned in my early 30's... "Time in the market always beats timing the market"

We're talking about a racing series where the rule is the car can't cost over $500... Although now I wonder how big a hit Cash for Clunkers did for this whole sport.

Now it even has me shopping... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1021309083816205/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Accc62f3f-fa82-4115-b506-83739cd42aa4

I could imagine with the number of us in Texas pulling together team wouldn't be hard... And give an excuse to have a car named "The Rickshaw"

I believe the reason he could wield Mjolnir was the fact that he's not actually a living being, ergo the spell on the hammer couldn't judge him as worthy or not. Same reason Mjolnir left on an elevator could go up and down and not just slam the elevator to the first floor. With all the CGI...

NGL, I enjoyed the trailer, and that is very probably a first for a Disney+ Marvel series. I also get the balance. He has to sort the shit in his head so he can sort the shit IRL. I can run with that. I've been a huge James Spader fan for a long time and it looks like they're shooting for an...

Yeah, I remember going in to see it knowing what I know. Versus Mrs Haus and a lot of our friends who went along who ... well... really didn't. I even tried to prep those who would get the reference with "Just know, this is going to be the "The Empire Strikes Back" of this series....but worse."

As I mentioned a ways back... Magneto wasn't always a Holocaust survivor. THat was reconned into his character in the early 80's in the Christ Claremont era IIRC. That's incorrect. In his original incarnation (No religious/holocaust backstory) he was still a mutant supremacist, ran the...

In my home lab I actually managed to get Qwen 3.8:27b running on a system with two nvidia cards and 20GB of video ram between them..... well... "running" might need to be in the air bunnies. The response speed on it was like talking to someone who was smart, but suffering from a somewhat...

Yeah, my former company has had what I'd call one really lackluster year in the last 5, and I was also in the ESPP, but not through the 401k. My company didn't offer their ESPP as a 401K option. Instead they just did two buys a year at the lowest price from either the first or last day, then...

Make no mistake... most of that is that company I recently left and their stock. Meaning it's mostly that as it was vesting and piling up I was lazy/hadn't thought about it until just recently, but then the company stock has just gone fucking nuts this year so I guess so far (assuming I get...

@Cad threw a post over in, of all places, the middle east politics thread about how the market has been doing well, which made me do a quick "What's my performance YTD" Interesting highlights... Crypto -- Down almost 30%, harvested some losses, fuck ETH, moved everything to BTC to see if I...

No penalties. I did it in the past, and since I just changed employers I'm about to do it again. There's a tiny bit of hassle, but if you're combining 401ks into the one at your current employer the the 401k provider usually offers assistance. (At my new gig they literally call it "Rollover...

So, update on my little rant from Mid July (TLDR : I hit the burnout wall combined with organizational frustration with my employer, had to take PTO to try to recalibrate). Warning, I'm going to say some things that will definitely be "first world problems" here, so I apologize to any who are...

@Nabi , With all due respect and admiration, might I direct you to my most recent video thread post : https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/the-video-thread.121/post-5448421 Unrelated :

I have a Dream Router and have pretty much loved it. A few quirks and learning curve, but that's specific to me. For years I have worked for a, let's just say, very large cybersecurity vendor. And part of that is that I've had a small enterprise class firewall protecting my home network...
