A friend of mine reminded me that one of my favourite things to do on a cruise is air dry on my room’s balcony after a shower when underway at sea. So I tasked AI with making a majestic visualisation of that and then I did a wee bit of Photoshopping and… BEHOLD!

Pixelated for modesty (in reality there's just a pinkish coloured 'shape' under there which looks suggestive when pixelated)

I didn’t get much done yesterday but it was probably good to have just taken it easy.

Chilling on the internet and suddenly it goes out because TPG is having issues. It’s back now but it reminds me of how much I rely on the internet

I read somewhere they were having DNS issues so changed to 1.1.1.1

I don’t understand these things but I think it worked.

Woke up with a sore throat. Haven’t had one for years. So something soothing? And coffee.

Woke to a bunch of people who decided to put aggro panties on and are determined to make it my problem.

People with aggro panties on often have shit festering in there and want everyone else to join them in their misery, I reckon.

Well played, most attempts to help them will lead to them telling you about more things they don’t like. I guess kinda like I’m doing now?

Ahhhhhhh!
