Does Sugar have any violence? Don't want to see another woman being struck across the face (like when I switched on the TV just now, lazy ass screenwriters).
a non-stop talker (asked a question, I started to answer, she interrupted, repeat)
a person who was probably drunk
An improbable ipad problem described but not shown to me (HOW)
a couple who brought in three badly broken pieces of tech, called their daughter to ask about one of the things, all I heard was screaming on the speakerphone ("Everyone ok there?" "Yeah, sure"). Like... look at this.
There was a cookie party downstairs which I missed.
It would be nice if the immense department of defense budget funded the health care for psychological trauma of vets and yet the only people who seem to get rich are the execs working for Boeing / Lockheed Martin etc. Video on twitter of a vet crying about how he has to keep revisiting his trauma because doctors at VA keep quitting and going in and out of network so he has to get a new doctor every time.
reducing the Department of defense budget would mean fewer people get traumatized and preventing them from committing harms because of their trauma and stopping that cycle.
Once again, in India, if you are rich or a conglomerate, you can get away with any crime.
"On the night of May 18, the teenager and a dozen friends were at a pub called Cosie in Mundhwa. They arrived at about 10.40 pm and ordered drinks and food, racking up a bill of Rs 48,000 in 90 minutes. Cosie has now been sealed for serving drinks to a minor and its owner arrested.

"Since last year, Synapse, an Andreessen Horowitz-backed startup that serves as a middle man between customer-facing fintech brands and FDIC-backed banks, has had disagreements with several of its partners about how much in customer balances it owed."
Never trust startups claiming to be the next bank or whatever nonsense. Absolutely not.
'Another customer, Joseph Dominguez of Sacramento, California, told the bankruptcy court on May 20 that he had more than $20,000 held up in his Yotta fintech account.
“We are scared that money will be lost if Synapse can not provide ledgers and documents to Evolve or Yotta to prove we are the legitimate owners,” Dominguez wrote. “We don’t know where our direct deposit has gone, we don’t know where our pending withdrawals are currently held.”'
Amused to see our local Indian restaurant sells pan fried Chinese noodles. (India is Asia, but Indian food is not Chinese food, nor vice versa). #fusion
wow just got a demo for this new feature by the AIML team "Listen for Atypical speech" that was announced recently. Mind blowing!! It's gonna be so impactful!
'Listen for Atypical Speech uses on-device machine learning to recognize user speech patterns. Designed for users with acquired or progressive conditions that affect speech, such as cerebral palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or stroke, these features provide a new level of customization and control, building on features introduced in iOS 17 for users who are nonspeaking or at risk of losing their ability to speak."
a few weeks in to reviving my #meditation practice, feels like front row tickets for a daily tour of personal discomforts and dormant grievances. ironically watching this dismal show buys me a little lightness throughout the day
I have got to say of the two John Wick clone movies/series – Sugar / Monkey man, my 100% biased view is Monkey man is the best and better than John Wick.
Was looking up estate sales near me and turns out some people are selling possible antiques looted from India & China (if they are fakes I would feel good).
