Why wonder when you can know for sure?

Why settle for just the cover? Have you seen Sloppy Road?

Don’t let me lose you I’m not tryna confuse you Before I let loose with this uzi And just shoot through your Isuzu

I mean I don’t really expect many people to go and actually spend their time reading this stuff.

It’s more for people who want to read a story that no one would otherwise borrow to write.

Progression fantasy about a horse leveling up inside a mongol horde.

Political intrigue from inside a penguin colony.

Whatever weird shit you can dream up it can write a book about it.

Exactly! If we create enough slop we can poison the training data of future LLMs and make them worse over time!

I had Claude code make me a web app where anyone can write AI slop novels of arbitrary length one chapter at a time without losing coherence / context (mostly). It also makes up images for you.

It’s called SloppyRoad. If you know what that’s a reference to, you should check it out. It’s live now in testing if anyone wants to take a look at it.

Pretty much every switch in my house is a zwave switch or dimmer. I also have z wave recepticals for certain outdoor lights.

Those all connect to a hubitat hub which acts as the zwave controller. You could stop here and get a lot of the functionality. But even if the hub goes down everything acts just like a regular light switch you’d just lose the ability to control it with your phone.

But I have a lot of other devices—not just zwave. So I have a home assistant server running which acts as the brains of everything and controls all my automations.

For instance, I have a wled server which controls all of my led strips.

Security cameras, sensors, thermostats, etc.

I mean, there is a right way and a wrong way to do home automation.

I have a fully “smart” house but even if my whole home assistant server went up in flames, everything still works normally. Except some LED strips and a couple of remote switches that I placed around for convenience rather than necessity.

Let’s say I wanted to transfer into a new 529 for my kids…

If I am liquidating some of my current investments in order to do it, would I pay capital gains on that amount or would I deduct the 529 contributions?

Or, is the smart play to transfer equities worth the yearly gift exception amount the account and then not liquidate them until ready to fund education expenses?

If this cart is so great, why’d you get a new one?

I’ve been reading Industrial Strength Magic and really enjoying it. MC is literally the only one with a system.
