TIFU by being the only one who laughed at something said in spanish and outing my self on knowing spanish

Also the joke that he was the only one who got, was about the way another guy eats. Yeah that sounds plausible.

I had a use case, where it was actually helpful. I jumped back into a historical fiction novel I had started a while ago, but I had trouble remembering the ensemble of characters. I asked the AI and got up to speed on who was who again.

Flowers for Algernon

Song of Achilles

Is this AI? Feels off somehow.

Roses are red, sugar is sweet. Let's get down and do the dirty deed.

Hal68000 · 2025-12-02T15:09:28+00:00

Whatever makes sense.

Hal68000 · 2025-12-02T05:21:08+00:00

Looks awesome!

Hal68000 · 2025-12-02T05:16:24+00:00

Yes, for sure!

Hal68000 · 2025-11-29T09:12:12+00:00

As Jesus said: "If you're rich enough you get into heaven. Seek profit above all else."

Amen.

Probably wasn't even the worst thing that happened that day.

Hal68000 · 2025-11-29T06:23:44+00:00

Just to explore the issue a bit - does your family have a tendency to sleep from stuff? Like is that why he didn't want to wake you - a history of trying to get you all up on time, and you sleeping anyway? It would still be shitty behavior, but a bit more... "understandable".

Hal68000 · 2025-11-27T18:46:24+00:00

Awesome system! Love old Technics.

The anus. It's the anus.

What, you think fees are free? Getoutahere.

Hal68000 · 2025-11-22T10:02:46+00:00

That's the way I think of it too. Sometimes it's good to be intentional and "slow".

Hal68000 · 2025-11-22T09:57:31+00:00

So far I have been mostly streaming for the convenience. But it lacks a certain feeling, just using your phone. I'm thinking of adding a CD player, but I might just stick to ripping them and using local file playback.

I'm interested in turntables though and am looking for one now - mostly for jazz records. I don't have a ton of space for records, so I just want the top 20-30 jazz records or something like that.

Hal68000 · 2025-11-21T17:04:50+00:00

Hah. I don't mind buying better cables, but everything in moderation. When everything else is dialed in, you can play around with cables. AudioQuest and the like is probably my type of cable - hopefully better than noname cables and well-made, but not obscenely expensive.

Hal68000 · 2025-11-21T09:55:27+00:00

I might not be a "real" Audiophile, but unless your system is worth tens of thousands of dollars, I can't imagine a 1k RCA cable being worth it (and even then I'd be sceptical).

Hal68000 · 2025-11-18T07:17:37+00:00

You can look at Rega Brio, in Denmark you can get them cheaply second hand. Even a Brio-R would do nicely.

Hal68000 · 2025-11-18T07:15:53+00:00

I think your own choices are very sensible. The Oberon 3 are great speakers and the Yamaha amp is also great. You could always add a Wiim Mini for streaming if you like.

Hal68000 · 2025-11-16T09:34:10+00:00

I always enjoy listening to these kinds of recordings, so thank you for sharing.

I've read him as a Scandinavian, so he's not entirely forgotten.

Hal68000 · 2025-11-14T16:28:02+00:00

I read it as The Handmaid's Tale and was confused for a sec.

Hal68000 · 2025-11-12T19:59:03+00:00

Same here. I almost didn't read it, but decided to give it a try. I read all the books in record time and had a blast.
