I’m currently on the camino francés route to Santiago de Compastella. My first day will be the day after tomorrow. I spend a lot of time over planning for it I’m sure. It seems very well supported by local communities and there are municipal albergues along the way. I was hoping to fund a community on lemmy for the pilgrimage.

I went back to school for engineering in my late 20s. I took physics and calculus again because I needed it to be confident in pursuing the rest of the courses.

If it spreads like a meme, then it is a meme.

Getting your ass kicked is not even a big deal in combat sports with rules. You’ll mostly be fine, you can spin the story. I bet Zuck gets beat all the time in training. I rather see Musk call out fights and back out. That is such a pussy move.

Fuck, that is going to be so irritating when it can create long responses with “relevant” ads.

I let my wife use my openAI account after spending all day asking chatGPT dumb questions. I cringe thinking about someone reading my chats.

Oh man, I totally forgot. Expeditionary Force is so good! Its funny like hitch hikers guide to the galaxy but more modern and the writing is not as clever. But there is a HUGE story arc dealing with super smart spiders. I listened to it and I’m pretty sure it was made for audiobooks first.

Have you read It by Stephen King? Not really Scifi but there is a spider in there!

If you want fun politics and war in the entire solar system, I recommend Red Rising and the the subsequent 2 novels (I haven’t read beyond that). The characters are incredibly sentimental but it was really fun to read. It doesn’t start off anything like The Expanse but politics within the entire solar system and divisions between the outer planets and asteroid belt were reminiscent of some scenarios.

If you want a more philosophical and hard science exploration of Humanity expanding beyond our solar system, dealing with long term evolution and exploring sentience in other species, I like Children of Time and the followup books.

Neither are very similar to Expanse but both series are great.

 

I remember this clip from the wire where they discuss the difference between evacuating a place and evacuating a person. The Wire - Evacuate Found one example of what they discussed in an NPR article today and is made me laugh.A woman evacuate her horse.

 
 

Do you call them lemminites? Lamminators? Lems? Lemmings? I haven’t seen what sticks yet but I’m new.

 

Found this all over my local trail in Hawaii. Looks like turkey tail but not white on the edges and not a lot of color separation. Also, Ive never id’ a mushroom.
