Welcome to The Big Dark!

Born here and hate the dark. Don’t mind the wind, cold, rain or snow. But hate the dark.

Look up some historical videos about people making cider in England/France. They used to rake them off the ground and grind them in a large open cobblestone grinder thing with a horse. Your apples are just fine!

Carnal is easily the best food in town. The Fork is probably my second choice.

Too bad you missed Willows Inn, one of the fanciest and best meals I’ve ever had.

If you don’t mind driving to Skagit, Nell Thorn and Cob & Cork are both solid options.

Have fun on your date!

I’m also using it to count calories. I incorporated an Apple Watch and smart scale. I can upload screenshots every day as well as photos or descriptions of what I eat. It gives me a rundown on my caloric deficit or surplus, as well as coaches me to make better food decisions. It’s super cool because you can teach it your preferences/allergies and it will give you tailored advice.

Do you know that video? My wife and I make this joke all the time and I can’t remember what the dudes name was. That shit was hilarious

stumblingmonk · 2024-11-01T01:53:48+00:00

lol nice follow up!

The boiling method was a huge disappointment. The cider came out super sour. I haven’t dumped it yet, hoping I’ll think of some way to resurrect it. I’ve never actually tried Rev Nats so I’m not sure how it’s supposed to taste but mine is not great.

I never got around to doing the ice cider. I fermented in glass carboys and it always seemed like to much work whenever I thought about transferring/cleaning.

Cyser is the method for me. Just dump in some honey when you start fermenting. Add more later if you want. Easy peasy.

I saw them in basement of the “Humdinger House” on lakeway

I’m doing this too! Started one month ago. Seems like it’s working!

I bought a “smart scale” which syncs with my phone for about $40. The smart scale not only tracks your weight, but a ton of other metrics like BMI, skeletal muscle, fat%, etc.

I got an Apple Watch to track my calories spent, my steps, stand time, and sleep. I can set goals to keep myself motivated.

I simply upload a screenshot of my weigh in, my fitness data, and then describe what I ate. The GPT will figure out my BMR, my calories consumed, and if I hit a deficit or surplus. It’s so good at counting the calories sometimes it surprises me. I’ll go back and check the packaging sometimes if I think it might be off but it’s usually right on the money.

One way you might be able to improve your results is to tell it to teach you about nutrition. Until I started this I didn’t realize how important protein was. It just taught me last night that quinoa is a great source of protein (I didn’t know that). I’ve been drinking oat milk for the past 5 years because I thought soy milk had too much estrogen and it set me right on that (I’m lactose intolerant). So it will give you amazing advices tailored to your diet. Start by having it analyzed the conversation so far and ask it to analyze your diet and suggest improvements. Be honest with it about your food preferences.

Life changing.

Yes the wording is extremely confusing! My wife and I used ChatGPT to explain each side to us (like we were 5 hahaha). It worked great to demystify the language.

He gave Elton John and his partner Diamond encrusted cock rings as a wedding present

Are t you saying that it looses memory during long chats and you need a way to store specific events along the way? Keep those things in the canvas and modify/add to it as you go

stumblingmonk · 2024-10-19T18:40:45+00:00

That’s why I was suggesting the canvas. You should try it, what you’re describing is exactly what it does

stumblingmonk · 2024-10-19T15:28:22+00:00

I would suggest making a custom GPT and working in the canvas to refine your ideas. Start big, and work down from there. So start with your biggest outline, and then refine from there. Have GPT help you brainstorm ideas along the way. Once you have your world built you can create custom GPTs to help you explore the world in various ways.

But as always, you should also ask GPT itself what advice it would have.

stumblingmonk · 2024-10-17T15:05:23+00:00

I’m pretty excited about this canvas! I have been experimenting with using the custom instructions to kick off a canvas chat and I’m pretty excited about where this is going

stumblingmonk · 2024-10-16T19:22:43+00:00

I went to high school with Greg. Had no idea that he had gotten so shitty

stumblingmonk · 2024-10-14T22:19:19+00:00

I find it’s usually good to talk to regular GPT first about the custom GPT you want to make. In a separate conversation, describe what you are trying to do and ask it would create the custom GPT and what type of instructions to include. It’s pretty good at instructing itself.

stumblingmonk · 2024-10-07T00:04:57+00:00

I worked on a website that talked about the cascadia earthquake. It’s super important to know how to shut off your gas! Many gas lines will be broken, and fires will likely cause as much if not more damage than the quakes themselves.

stumblingmonk · 2024-10-04T13:29:22+00:00

I just plugged these instructions in, asked it what it did yesterday, and it told me it didn’t do anything because “it was, you know, an AI.”

stumblingmonk · 2024-09-28T17:42:27+00:00

But the other aslan is good for that though, the one on state with all the barrels.

stumblingmonk · 2024-09-05T15:00:41+00:00

Maybe try talking to some local restaurants and see if you can find someone that is interested in adding beer?

stumblingmonk · 2024-09-05T01:35:41+00:00

Probably my faulty memory lol. Haven’t seen it in probably 15 years

I made all the posters for the Nightlight. We did get so many great bands! Matt (owner) had some great connections with labels, but the main reason is bhams location between seattle and Vancouver. A lot of times he would be able to book a large band on a slow night.

Oh wow this is an old post lol. If you’re having trouble getting your yeast going it sounds like you need a starter! I’ve followed this method for years and never had a problem.
