It's gonna be a good day.

Rode my motorcycle in to work for the first time in forever. Weather was a bit shit, but I really need to be back on the bike.

The nice greek lady I get my lunch and coffee from once a week:
A) made me a great coffee
B) gave us both muffins for free

It's a good day.

Fuckface host of my coworker's talkback radio whining that his local council won't build (yet another fucking) golf course because 'people not from here have moved here over the last ten years and they don't play golf'.

There are EIGHT golf courses in the area he's whining about.

Also, the 'people not from here' bit is a dogwhistle about immigration, which coworker agrees with despite HER PARENTS BEING IMMIGRANTS.

She doesn't even play golf!

Alrighty.

Home, at my desk.

Time to sort out a new dataset for the software to work over and crunch.

Either way, though, it's time for the weekend to begin.

OH SHIT SON, released a new song?

Like... 21 hrs ago?

Fuckin' A.

Here it is - giving it a listen.

Sounds like a good old style Priest song.

Now I'm going to just say it straight up: There's a point where you realise all of Ozzy Osbourne's songs, for a long time, haven't featured him singing.

He's just been doing a bit of a creepy/weird voice thing for ages.

Meanwhile, here's Halford just smoking it.

Ok, finished listening, and that was a solid fuckin' song.

You could easily have found that on an older Priest album and you'd have thought it was from that vintage. Just a solid, continuing form.

Some folks in the comments saying it's a Painkiller era song, but I don't think it's sweeping/dramatic enough (Like, Between the Hammer and the Anvil? That's fucking DRAMA), but it's definitely somewhere in there.

Talking with a mate about Rob Halford from and I've just said

> Halford looks fucking incredible, like this grizzly old gay grandpa who'll turn up at your house on a giant motorcycle and give your kids really thoughtful presents

... and I stand by it.

Coworker and I were discussing reincarnation the other day, and I absolutely fucked with his head by mentioning that if you're talking reincarnation, there's no reason you can't have two of your incarnations in the same period of time, or one 'later' in your soul's experience that's 'earlier' in the continuity timeline.

He was... not pleased by this thought.

It was like the 'CJ Cregg sees the world map turned upside-down in West Wing' moment.

'You can't do that because... it's freaking me out'

Hrm. Set this thing to train 625 steps instead of 1000 by accident, but... gonna let it run.

It's slated for about 1.5hrs of processing, and it'll be a good experiment to find out just what 625 steps gives me vs 1000 (if I do the proper run as well, later tonight perhaps).

Basically, this is like 3d printing: there's a bunch of knobs and dials and it's all new so everyone flaps at all of them at once, rather than trying small graduated changes on ONE variable to see its isolated effect

DarkestKale,
@DarkestKale@mastodon.social avatar

Also, similarly to 3d printing, the wait time per iteration is long, so people have no patience for proper investigation techniques

@DarkestKale "This complicated bit on top of the relatively simple base block is complicated. How about I do a pre-print of just those four layers and see if it works?"

@RogerBW that'd just be intelligent, Roger, we can't do that, we have to modify twenty parameters at once!
