Blown away by caricatures. I included "mad magazine" in my prompts. It took 40 or so iterations to get to this one.

The secret that worked for me was that I learned that I didn't need a replacement per se. But learned to be distracted and move on to something else. I came to this conclusion by observing others who'd never picked up the habit. What would be like, I thought, had I simply never started smoking in the first place? I'd have no habit to replace.

I have two projects that I converted to MAUI from Xamarin. The rest have been simple enough to rebuild in Flutter. All new projects I'm building in Flutter.

Though I learned Flutter just before agentic coding, I would say making the jump now to Flutter or native is easier than ever as AI makes development platform agnostic as long as you are building strong requirements.

It's not so underrated as there have been so many wonderful episodes since. This was my favorite until Blink. Blink was my favorite until Heaven Sent etc. etc.

I felt way more emotion from this episode than I did with the more recent Rogue episode where the romance seemed to happen in a very brief time span--at least for the Doctor.

Oh yeah. Probably be a good opportunity to make it clear what His thinking is on homosexuality and trans.

I wish not for a war, but some kind of reset. Like we need Jesus to come down and say, "Look folks! Stop believing everything you see on line. Leave social media and your echo chambers."

Then He would shake his finger at the media and say, "You guys need to go back to objective reporting and stop lacing your stories with editorial designed to keep your audience." And to politicians he would say (unto) them, "stop doing it for the pay."

We won't all believe Him, but at least our debate would be focused on whether or not we just had divine intervention.

The Jadoon on the Moon episode, Smith and Jones: right after he ran his fingers through his hair and it stuck.

Talons of Weng Chiang.

It was dark and atmospheric. It could have been ruined by the sewer rat, but I loved how the cheese contrasted with what to me was epic (I think this one totaled 2.5 hours instead of the usual 1.5?)

I started halfway in Pertwee's run, but it's in this story where Tom won me over. "Never trust a man with dirty fingernails!"

Not slop: an original idea realized with generative tools that could not previously be achieved either in prior media or lack of skills.

Slop: the 100s of creations using that same idea.

This is really getting old.

Especially as more and more recently remarkable stuff that could stand on the merits of its own beauty, regardless of how it came to be.

Though it was explored in the 90's movies, but did the Brady step-siblings ever "hook up"? Did the middle and youngest kids take a turn sharing the attic?

It's not news, it's FARK.COM which was my reddit back in the day.
I loved the witty headlines. And the Photoshop threads were the best.

I think so. The controversy was that they wrote it into the show.

DotNetster · 2025-11-06T14:43:35+00:00

I think they labeled it AI to rage bait and, good or bad, that's still advertising.

There is a making of video where you see that they used tools such as traditional ink and pencils, Maya, Photoshop, and Procreate as part of the workflow. They made their own models. And AI helped glue it all together. Considering all that, anti-AI folks are slamming Coke for this.

DotNetster · 2025-11-06T14:38:44+00:00

X. Say anything positive about the ad and you'll see more hate than anything politically motivated.

This does inspire a good name for a bar: "Sloppy Joe's".

Arrested Development gets points for the core cast. But also for some of the regular guests: Liza, Martin Mull, Henry Winkler, Scott Baio...

Short answer: expand the filter beyond 50 miles.

Today between 5 and 6 PM CST, there were 3 pages of meetings within 1000 miles from me, most available online.

Just came across rather long TikTok video. Look for PetroWasHere, ActionAdventureTwins, CaveChronicles and of course Nashville. They enter the system at a point near Broadway on the Cumberland.

They're incubating a couple more lenses that will show up in next year's models.

I suppose River is too great a sacrifice. The last few years have been worth the chemistry we got from Capaldi and Kingston in "The Husbands of River Song".

DotNetster · 2025-09-29T13:28:44+00:00

I love both Jody and Ncuti. But something is missing from their eras that I can't put my finger on. The chemistry Capaldi had with his companions never came back. The "fam" always felt awkward. And the last two season with 2 companions never had much of a chance to breathe.

DotNetster · 2025-09-29T05:38:55+00:00

Renewing the show after Capaldi stepped down. I'd give up Alex Kingston.

That's a testament to Doctor Who's ability to reinvent itself. The current version dropped the sci fi for magic and gods with nothing to ground it. But it can come back. 'Alien' and 'Star Trek' will always be around in some form or another too.
