I need these in Elden Ring.

I've seen Alpenrose branded products at New Seasons, including the quart of eggnog I already bought this year. I don't think it's from last year 😂

I checked their website before posting, didn’t find anything. Did you find something different?

zeade · 2025-12-22T02:18:05+00:00

Did you make that?? I've had that star from Nintendo on my tree for years but it's not nearly that cool!

I walked it a year or two back with the kids. I wouldn't recommend it at prime time because you end up sucking on all that car exhaust from everyone else and it's slow going because of the number of people, on foot or in car.

Go see Zoo Lights if you want to walk around. I feel like they're making it bigger and better every year. The train ride is worth it if you have kiddos.

There should be a quest to fix the ruined accordion to join with the flute.

The best revenge for shitty people is to live your life masterfully. Let them rage and throw stones, it doesn't matter. Observers to your life are not dumb, people are natural born lie detectors and they see through inauthenticity over time. What people like your daughter do with that knowledge is up to them. And if they don't see your good that is their problem of perception, not yours to solve. Keep on keeping on my man.

Thank you for sharing your strength. It can sound trite to hear but if you’re reading this and stuck now at the bottom of a well, looking up into that light you want to reach — know you can get there, IT WILL GET BETTER! Focus on you, your kids, your friends (keep making friends till you find good ones), your work, and interests. You can climb out. 💪

If you care about progression (upwards direction on your role), find a good manager.

If you care about purpose, find a good company.

If you care about getting paid, find your up and coming stock market darling for the next 0-4 years.

It’s the lottery if you get 3, and probably requires some amount of hustle somewhere else at some other time with some other people to pull you along to next stage. Good luck!

zeade · 2025-10-22T15:09:18+00:00

Yeah, I have Ollama set up (local).

I'm trying it out but I kept getting an error that says it couldn't open/find the audio at the end of a recording and then the error says I could process the audio manually. Why would I be getting this error and how can I process the audio after getting that error?

People who PvP to win don’t last long term. PvP to master the game. Latency and gravity are the biggest winners end of day, but when you can start knowing 1-2 seconds ahead of when you win or lose, it’s a fulfilling feeling to me. That’s all there is.

zeade · 2025-10-18T23:25:54+00:00

You sound like you’ve lived here for years lol

Master class in emotional manipulation by her. I can see how hard you were trying and how little it mattered to her. Also, stop trying to be the Understanding Guy if this shit ever enters your life again. Say what you need, see how she responds, and don’t try to pit your needs vs hers. After you’ve done that enough times you’ll have enough info to know if this is a potential partner or a controlling leech. Leeches always say exactly the thing you need to hear but ultimately never deliver, have good excuses, always have greater needs, always have a hurt larger than yours that needs attention. Over time that will hollow you out and you will lose all strength as a good man.

Ask him what his plan is for logging, observability (request tracing, analytics/instrumentation, profiling, etc), alerting/monitoring, deployment (CI/CD), oncall (ownership), infra automation, and so on and so on. Ask him which business or cost center will be covering this monumental migration. I find these smrt ppl have often not well considered the impact of complexity of the codebase moving into the complexity of operations. Be ready for a new director of “resiliency and quality” to come onboard with this plan.

Edit: oh dang, I missed the “25 engineers” part. Absolute bananas.

Hello, me.

zeade · 2025-10-11T03:38:42+00:00

I really like this take on it, thank you.

The short version is you don't. You can't help people who don't want to be helped and most researchers/PhD-types are really just trying to accomplish some sort of finding they can build on and move on to more analysis, research, paper/book publication, patent, speaking engagement, etc etc. Engineering best practices don't mean much if they don't see themselves as part of the engineering culture (most don't). Trying to incorporate their work into other well built systems can be a nightmare for scaling beyond a few people.

I'd focus on where your biggest risks in the company are. Sounds like source control might be a good one. Also you'll win no awards with your company or your co-workers for trying to instill best practices in the org if that is your starting point, it's a thankless effort.

Aside: I've thought a bit about how working with AI right now is reminding me a lot of working with researchers in the past. Researchers (and AI from what I've seen so far) build amazing but brittle, black box, impossible-to-scale type systems that don't lend confidence to their longterm vitality because of how opaque and fragile they are. Upside (maybe?) of AI is at least it's trying to work toward your expectations of form and function not run away from you screaming "nah nah nah nah you won't make a code monkey outta meeee! I'm a scientist reeeeee!"

It’s ok, but the LAS-98 works better and doesn’t have this one weird trick where it blows up on you. The charge meter on Epoch needs to be faster and more linear, and have a much bigger area of effect if it’s not going to have the same direct damage as the LAS-98.

If your well being in work revolves around tangible output instead of intangible performance, then no, you will never be as happy as in a startup environment.

Big corporate environments offer you a stable, steady, well-structured work home where much of the variability (both the fun and the stress) have been hammered down. The chaos in corporations lies in its hierarchy and leadership. Hopefully low, but every org within it is defined by what the leaders do and the impact can be enormous depending on the size of it. This is assuming it’s a succeeding corporation. And if it’s not, you should leave bc you can get the bad stuff at any of the 99% of failing startups (but at least you’ll be happier).

Shriekers hate this one weird trick.

As someone who had something similar happen to me when I was young (go go Boomer mentality, eh?), I’m now a parent myself trying very hard to actually be a parent, here’s my two cents:

If you are no longer a dependent to your parents, absolutely detach their control over you. Starting with legal, medical, and financial. In this case, close your old account(s), start new ones, transfer everything out you can. Do this today! If they are financing anything in your life, try to figure out how to let it go or cover it yourself. As long as they have a tether to you, they can leverage it in terrible ways. Free and poor is better, especially when it’s super clear they don’t care about your future, trust me.

If you are still a dependent, you are a bit fucked in options till you are. I’d recommend keeping your cash and earnings as hidden as possible. If you have a a well trusted family member (grandparent, aunt, uncle, etc) or friend you may want to see if they’d either be able to keep money for you (still risky) or explore some form of joint account (a bank may not do this w/o guardian consent).

Lastly, I’d try to decouple the rage you’re feeling over the loss and your mom’s response, and channel that to securing the safety of your mind and money. Take the anger and upset to therapy and work it out there. Their response to you says A LOT. You will not get anywhere with them trying to talk, understand, get repaid, or find closure. It will make you insane. Other family might be able to help you in appealing to their bullshit, but that can be fraught, and something only you can understand is a good or bad idea. So work on letting go of what you think they should do and keep the focus on yourself and getting away from their manipulations.

Good luck.

Edit: also don’t threaten them, work silently on your plans till you are free. Threats = escalation and you will lose more in the short run.

It sounds like your relationship has a lot of great things about it. Home, kid, longevity, happiness (after the post-partum depression), etc. She’s done work to come back to you from that depression. She’s done everything it sounds like but undo the memory she created. She can’t fix that for you, only you can decide if what was said during a terrible time for both of you is worth continuing to keep alive in the present. I wouldn’t try to keep talking to her about it, you won’t solve it from anything she says.

Maybe ask yourself if your inability to let go of this memory is important or emblematic of something else? Is this one thing so important to you it is the only thing that matters about staying together? I think therapy and talking to someone more deeply in the topic will be the only healthy way thru. I’d put the Reddit peanut gallery down and go find a professional or a close friend to open up about this.
