I missed this story from last year. Runaway Roomba. (plenty of gadget promotion in here, btw... it's like a Roomba+Ring commercial, LOL) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6MQoMje6l0

@ai6yr My Roomba runs out of battery after 2 hours. If it were still roaming around two days later without a charging station nearby I'd be more than a little concerned. 😅

@zalasur @ai6yr the dry mode on the Braava is not extremely useful, I mostly use it and the dry dusting cloth in conjunction with a ribbon tied to the handle on the back so I can set it off and let my cat play with it! The results are adorable.

Ich war letzte Woche Freitag viel unterwegs: als erstes war ich auf unbekannten Planeten, dann habe ich mich auf dem Markt in Isphahan herumgetrieben. Richtig hektisch war es dann in einem Tempel, da ich dort Reingebeamt wurde. Abschließend war ich wieder in und konnte ein paar Runden Karten spielen. Somit sollte klar sein: ich habe gestern Abend wieder im gespielt! Um genau zu sein , , und . 1/6 @brettspiele

TheWookieman,

@Fearteiler @brettspiele richtig gute Zusammenfassung 🤪

Music, art, words, acting, capturing images, videos, landscapes... will replace the things people do, to find languages to express things where known vocabulary fails, or to reality. What will one do when machines perfectly articulate everything that is felt?

As good ol Mr Keating says in , "We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

A quotation from Oliver, Mary:

«
Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled —
to cast aside the weight of facts

and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world.

cyclops, to Depression

I'm slowly coming to the realization that I don't really like being alive. I don't like getting up, I don't really like going to bed, and I don't like being awake. I don't mean to be vague, I lost my job, my dream job and so far I'm going to have to start applying to go back to fast food to find a new job so I can pay rent. I feel like my world was a lie and I have no idea what my current world is or means. Everything seems pointless and one day melds into the other endlessly, pointlessly. I hear the call of the void calling to me. Perhaps if I were to go I'd get to see my ex-wife again, or her mother, and I miss them a lot. So, I don't really want to or like being alive anymore.

I don't even know why I'm posting this.

@cyclops Maybe you posted it to test whether people would care. We do, and a lot of us know just what you mean. Life on Earth is hard.

If you want random advice, adding something new and challenging to your life can break up that feeling. Maybe it's time to start painting, or to learn Japanese.

I think you should tell your ex and her mom that you want to see them and see what they say.

You probably didn't want an actual reply but let me know if you want to talk more.

Wow. Turns out we're not supposed to mulch-mow because we're killing the larvae. Come spring the young birds'll need those bugs. Other options seem do-able. Glad I don't have to deal w a yard(!)

Inktober 21&22
"Scratchy's Escape on the Chain"

This has been a tough weekend. Work, SiWC, oodles of schoolwork for the Master's degree, one of our cat's had an abscess, and I'm just generally exhausted. lol. Wheee.

So yesterday and today's work got folded into one.

I'm really happy with the outcome, though. I knew I wanted to do a squirrel as soon as I saw the prompt "Scratchy," and for some reason the chain came about as a really appropriate piece of all this.
