had horrible sleep last night
I was like "metadreaming" the entire time
like EVERY dream was about me dreaming and all these voices like constant yapping I cant even describe
I was waking up worried about whatever was happening in the dream but it wasn'rt real but I was dreaming about a dream that was
felt like I was going insane but I wanted to go back to sleep
Ive forgotton too much to explain any better but it was harrowing

I got this nurse tonight, the guy is completely off. First I thought it was because he was foreign, the south-eastern European type. He kept giving me lingering stares, I figured he was looking for his words, but no he just keeps doing it.
The guy's come to see me four times in a couple of hours, I've been here a week no other nurse has come this often and they usually leave fast because they have work but this dude stayys and how he stays.
Last visit he wanted to go over my pooping habits, also asked me if I needed help peeing.
I am definitely going to die tonight. Send help.

This is a day after my Fein Multimaster burnt out and I had to buy a new one.
I'm also in the middle of the shower renovation from heck.
Friend's father-in-law, who I'm also friendly with asks if I can regrout some of the tiles in his shower.
I get there and it looks like this:
That's pretty degraded so I say why don't we do a leak test just to make sure everything is water-tight and I tell him I'll do it the next night.
So I show up and my friend, his son-in-law (the fat Italian Ferrari guy from previous tales) is already over there trying to intercept my job.
I brought an inspection camera. He brought a mechanic's stethoscope.
I brought UV dye, he brought red food coloring.
I brought a test-plug, he brought duct tape.
I brought a flashlight, he brought brake cleaner?
I carried my cowtools in a toolbox, he brought his in a cat carrier.
So his wife and neurodivergent son are there for some reason and he decides he has to take charge of the situation. When I first encountered him, he was dropping red food coloring down the shower drain - which I'm pretty sure doesn't have anything to do with leak-testing the shower pan. I had to convince him to plug the drain and use the UV dye. As an aside, he told me to use the leak detector fluid that's used to find leaks in gas lines. He said he's used it thousands of times to check leaks in plumbing (I'm not sure how).
He overtightens the test plug and declares that it's no good and doesn't form a seal. I tell him to just tighten it until it's tight and it will be good to go. He says that's not enough so he overtightens the plug, sprays the area with brake cleaner (melting the surface of the test plug), and spends the next ten minutes carefully applying duct tape to the drain.
We go to fill the shower and he insists on filling the entire room with water. This is an handicap accessible shower, so there is no curb between the shower and floor. I say we should fill the shower first, check for leaks, then fill it further out to the floor and check again but no, he wants to go big or go home.
We go downstairs and I drill a hole in the ceiling for my inspection cam. He insists on holding the camera with me. Four hands on camera, we discover that yes, it is leaking. Is it the shower pan or the floor? Who knows, we flooded the entire bathroom.
I have a hunch that it's the floor area that's leaking, so I go upstairs and ask him to pay attention to where I'm knocking. He confirms that where I knock is where the water comes out - the floor. He then disregards that discovery.
I then say that I'm going to check out at this point, as redoing a shower pan is more effort than I signed up for. He reassures me that he's done a million of them, has done two per day, and it won't be any trouble at all. He then exclaims that I'd be happy to do the job.
His plan was to cut away the tile about a foot up and just replace the pan and "blend" new tile in where we removed it. I get started on demolition.
I find water damage in the wall, and the find that the previous installers used regular drywall instead of cement board and zero waterproofing behind the tile. So with each tile comes out two layers of cement board. He then tells me to just demolish the whole thing.
At this point I go out and buy an SDS Hammer Drill along with some bits to expedite the job, and within a day or two get down to the studs.
While I'm doing this, they go to the tile store to pick out a replacement tile, along with a bunch of expensive Schuluter System components to build a new waterproof structure and membrane. Then he tells me to come in my Volvo and pick it up.
I get there and discover he's expecting me to load 500lbs of tile, thinset, and cement board into my little Volvo. I say that's not happening and that I need to rent a truck. We spend the rest of the afternoon arguing over spending $20 on a truck rental from Home Depot.
The next day we rent the truck, and he tells me he's shocked that it's only $20 and that he made the right decision by choosing to rent a truck from Home Depot. We drop the supplies off at his father-in-law's and he leaves me to get to work.

Outlier let's you help "train" AI models for researchers and I was curious what the current state of AI looked like.
Hint: They're pretty atrocious.
In one project (which was clearly liberal in its wording) they supply a CSV file which you're supposed to analyze in order to come up with questions (prompts) that will "break" the model.
The CSV contained a bunch of names of investment managers along with their companies, performance and a bunch of other shit.
Well I told the model I wanted it to tell me the name of the female investment manager who had the best return while charging the least fees between a certain timeframe.
The model did pretty well, but it started breaking down when it said "Ok now I'm going to go through the list of names to determine which names are commonly female to find the best match."
Well then it decided to break and spit out a bunch of code that some trash person wrote in Python.
So I submit the finding and the "researcher" wrote a scathing reply and kicked me from the project.
One thing that I like about Germany is that first names are required to reflect your s*x and if your first name is ambiguous then you're required to have a middle name to clear up any confusion. (You also can't legally name your kid "North West").
Also, the prompt is ambiguous. What do you mean by female manager? I don't see any column that specifies a male or female category. You can't determine someone's gender just by their name. I am sending this back to the queue.
If this is how AI is being trained...well I...

I don't know what for because I took too much xanax during the scheduling consultation in January and blacked out, no idea what we discussed and what they're gonna do to me. No idea what kind of sadistic sexual perversions the hot oriental nurses will subject me to .
Someone please post in /h/videos while I'm gone.
Also I'm looking for old TV shows to download before I go so I'll have something to watch, hospitals always got shit wifi around here. !kino @Redactor0
Please send pictures of your armpits to my DMs so that I have something to look forward to while I'm hospitalized.

Idk what's wrong with the brake. The cable regulator slipped on the way here, I stopped and fixed it, and by the time I arrived it was slack again.
Also I have my computer bag in a basket on a front rack, so my center of gravity is wonky.
Update: No falls takes it
I think I hate this bike though, hmu if you want to buy a 46(?)cm Mercier Kilo.

I have many of my pink nanook sprouting due to recent rain, so tomorrow I hope to re-pot my babies, setting aside take-home-sized pots of small chutes to market and hopefully sell for a few bucks each locally!
I'm also going to finally pick a bundle of nanook to keep by my front door. I hope it doesn't get taken but stuff happens.
My lemon balm grew well, so I'll trim that, too.
What are your weekend plans?
