Weirdly. Staff got cut in half because of everybody rolling their own versions of the product for themselves with AI. Feels like my days are as numbered as the company's, but I think it can go for a while in a lower gear. Still lots to do and now I'm the only one on call, so I'm staying busy without feeling pressure to do so. The people that remain aren't the ones I was social with, so I'm glad my partner is also wfh and we have cats.

  • When I read the perchlorate line about it being used in rocket fuel, I thought it was going to be another X is in food but also used in yoga mats, not mentioning it's also in medicines that save millions of lives or something like that. But nope, perchlorate is primarily used for rocket fuel. I'm just so surprised by the non bs use of that kind of sentence that I had to remark on it.

    Edit: Not a real series. There's just the one story in Watchmen and an adaptation of that.

    Tales of the Black Freighter is a swashbuckler anthology pirate comic book series. It was published by National Comics (which later became DC Comics).

    Shying away from mainstream adventures, Tales of the Black Freighter's radical and innovative stories show a disturbing reality against metaphysical terrors and perverse comments on the human condition.

     

    Going to a wedding with two weeks notice with a cat theme. I had some fabric with cats on it, so I decided to make a bow tie instead of buying something new. Just used a tie I already had as the pattern. It has been so long since I've done any sewing, so 4 small pieces all the same size was perfect for where I'm at. Had a few mistakes but they're all in the back, so I'm pretty satisfied.
