I have been a loyal Dell consumer since 2003. My first Dell computer was a desktop named Lola.
This is what I imagined she would look like as a person.
I killed Lola in only a few months by accidentally pouring a ginger ale in the back of her while trying to fix my router. That was totally my fault. I immediately purchased a replacement Dell, a standard tower, no frills, and I JRosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696678149874762427noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699453181053820154.post-88946898430721438452018-03-02T16:25:00.001-07:002018-03-02T16:25:52.067-07:00Self-Affirmations from the Neural Network
I can't help but be inspired by Janelle Shane's work with neural networks. Last time, she trained her AI to create recipes that looked absolutely mouthwatering, in that way that your mouth waters when you're about to hurk, actually, but today, she has trained her AI to generate titles for positive self-talk courses.
From her site, AIWeirdness.com:

There’s this weird thing that people do that baffles me. As an artist, it has happened to me but it clearly isn't just confined to art, but the puzzling phenomenon of people taking credit for things that they obviously didn't do.

I've learned a couple things in the past few days that I thought I should probably share with you all.
I've talked about the first one in the past, but apparently, it is still a lesson I need to learn as I lay here in buttloads of pain because my brain still hasn't learned the lesson that catching yourself when you're falling is often nearly as painful as just letting yourself fall.

I prefer to shower at night, or in the afternoon. That way I can put off sitting around with my head damp and freezing for as long as possible. During the winter, in this little house we've moved into, I have found that showering at night is a problem. The fan in our bathroom that's activated by our light switch is a conduit directly to outside, so turning the switch on means I am pumping fast JRosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01696678149874762427noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699453181053820154.post-46168994633544217182017-12-05T16:56:00.000-07:002017-12-05T17:25:03.707-07:00My Summer from Hell- Part Two: She's Going To Die

I’ve been waiting for a while to discuss this, because this friend of mine in high school once told me about this theory she called “The Point of Light” and the idea is that when you are excited about something, the more you talk about it, the less likely it is to happen, and since I grew up in a household where that was basically the rule, the idea stuck.

I think most people can relate to this, but when you're wearing plus-sized jeans and you're poor, it hits home even harder. Every time I watch a medical drama where they are cutting people's clothes off, I gasp in horror and consider only wearing sweatpants in my car from now on.
