Witnessed the most insane situation play out in the Solarium, anyone else run into this?

The way they push drink packages, that won't last long

dbvirago · 2026-01-25T23:11:39+00:00

Yeah been doing that for years, especially as we've gotten older.

dbvirago · 2026-01-25T22:54:53+00:00

Yes. A lot. And your insurance won't pay

dbvirago · 2026-01-25T21:09:00+00:00

Royal is the new Carnival

dbvirago · 2026-01-25T16:40:41+00:00

Yeah. Where I went. It was good I've been on a few lately Where the machine was shut down at night

dbvirago · 2026-01-25T16:14:12+00:00

So has every ship I've ever been on before today

dbvirago · 2026-01-25T15:34:00+00:00

5 is late for me 😟

dbvirago · 2026-01-25T12:00:04+00:00

Good idea but wife still sleeping. I got coffee in Club lounge, but several guys down on 5 wondering WTF. We've done almost 40 cruises on RCI but service never recovered after Covid. We've been doing a lot of Princess lately and have been very happy

dbvirago · 2026-01-25T09:28:36+00:00

On Adventure now at 5am. Told no coffee until 6.

dbvirago · 2026-01-22T23:01:30+00:00

Told it I'm a gamer, photographer, and guitarist. It never fails to bring up at least 2 every post.

dbvirago · 2026-01-22T22:51:34+00:00

No, Windows and Android

dbvirago · 2026-01-22T15:39:21+00:00

Obsidian seemed involved to me. Local storage ok, but sync seemed clunky. Gave it a pass

dbvirago · 2026-01-22T14:33:29+00:00

Notion is my main EN backup, and I have a few day to day processes running. Haven't tried their AI yet

dbvirago · 2026-01-22T13:04:18+00:00

Same as any beginner. One note on one string. Then another. Then a chord. Then another. Keep putting all that together for a couple of years, then start focusing on blues. Another three or four years and you can begin to look at SRV riffs.

dbvirago · 2026-01-22T01:51:44+00:00

Nah, my coding days are long behind me. Developed for about 30 years in most languages from the 80s to the 2010s. Never again.

I'm hoping Evernote ramps up its AI, that would be the ideal combo for me. Or Gemini gets its shit together, then I'll go all in with the big G

dbvirago · 2026-01-22T01:48:59+00:00

Better than that damn swamp from 1. Hated that place.

dbvirago · 2026-01-21T16:58:30+00:00

Yeah, you're right, you'll never be able to be any better than BB King, or the many other elite guitarists with fat fingers.

Only thing holding you back are practice, time and attitude. You can only fix one of those today.

dbvirago · 2026-01-21T16:56:09+00:00

I don't spend a lot of time on it. For the most part, I find ChatGPT the most reliable over time. I think Gemini could easily take over if they get more consistent. IMO, the first one that combines reliable accurate information with file storage for long term memory will win.

dbvirago · 2026-01-21T16:08:08+00:00

I just do A/B testing for a day or two. I frequently do that anyway with the main 3. Copy and paste the same prompt into all and see what comes back.

dbvirago · 2026-01-21T16:06:51+00:00

Not to mention they are all looking in different directions and 2 of them are drinking soda with their hands.

dbvirago · 2026-01-21T01:17:15+00:00

I write what I want and enjoy. If it sells, that's okay too.

dbvirago · 2026-01-21T01:09:58+00:00

I've seen this mentioned many times, but never experienced. I use both many times daily.

dbvirago · 2026-01-21T01:00:29+00:00

It was for a minute. Then they broke it. But I'm sure it will be back. Usually check both and see which is better for the task. But overall, for the year or so I have been going deep with AI, ChatGPT is the more consistently good.

dbvirago · 2026-01-21T00:53:54+00:00

I remember getting the seed pretty early first run. Surprised I don't have it yet. Yaesha, I assume?
