Hehe hiiiii :3

He’s just trying to help you build your lego set, pls be appreciative

Yayyy congrats 😊 so happy to see all the updates!

That’s how it feels. They don’t deserve me though 💅

Not great! What was supposed to be a regular biweekly update with my team lead turned into me hearing I’m being let go. The company is dissolving my position. Apparently because they believe everything I did to set up data pipelines and structures is so solid they just need someone to maintain it now (which will be a third party).

I definitely saw myself working there for a few years, now I’m back to looking for a job after just 1 year. Feels unfair and all the ‘it’s not personal, we love you as a colleague’ is definitely not helping at all.

At least I won’t have to come out to them which I was dreading… I’ll just introduce myself with new pronouns at the next job ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Back to the LinkedIn hellscape it is

Edit: forgot to mention that the worst part of this to me is definitely this week where we’re still discussing details/severance etc. and I can’t tell my direct colleagues yet. So here I am pretending everything is fine and I’m not actually super depressed about it until I can finally tell them next Tuesday.

There was a premium lite for 7 bucks but they discontinued it in October as part of their ‘fuck all yall’ campaign

Where do you usually get them? I tried my local gardening centre but they don’t seem to stock any :(

Ohh that looks great! Thanks a lot!

I wish I could have something like this but I’m positive it won’t work. Underneath the tiles, our balcony is basically a big water basin that slowly drains on one side. There’s so so so many mosquitos. Pls help 😵

Twitching while sleeping is not a bad thing afaik. If I understand correctly it just means they’re trying to run/move in their dreams which likely corresponds to a fun dream! E.g. they’ll be running or playing in their dream. My dog used to do it and my cat does it too.

It seems like you can tell dream twitching apart from seizures by seeing if their limbs go stiff or the twitching goes on for a long time.

Thanks for sharing! I’ll give it a go :)

Good on ya! I’m really considering it as well. I’ve never liked windows 11 and I basically only use my desktop for gaming anyway, so I really should consider doing the same. I guess I’m just lazy and afraid I might lose game/steam compatibility? Anything you can share regarding that?

On my honeymoon :3 (missing our cat so much we are god’s strongest soldiers)

Keep at it! Remember job applications and interviews are just an elaborate game for people to find out if you’d be a match. Rejection doesn’t mean you’re not capable.

Thank you!

Getting married in 2 days!!

AAAAAAAAAAA

I’m excited and stressed at the same time. It’s been such a ride and the day hasn’t even happened yet. Idk if I’ll be happier during or when it’s finally done. Either way, definitely looking forward to both the wedding day and to decompressing afterwards

Good recommendations! I’d suggest doing some spacy tutorials as well, regarding the topics in the first paragraph. But arguably it’s possible nowadays to just start at transformers without any NLP knowledge, e.g. using huggingface’s AutoTrain or something similar. I wouldn’t recommend it, but you definitely could.

Just came back from my parents to cuddle our family dog one last time before she’ll be euthanised this Friday. It was rough. I love her so much and she’s been there for such an essential part of my life (12-27). I’m going to miss her so much. I’m happy she got to have a long and happy life, but I’m also glad she won’t have to live in pain anymore - her back joints are completely worn out. Combined with the reduced vision and hearing and incontinence, I’m sure it’s her time to go. It’s just hard :(

I remember having to unsub from r/dogpictures back when I was on reddit because 80% was just pics of ‘this is my dog who just died’ - it’s just too much. So I won’t do the same to you by posting pics here, but anyone who wants a cute doggo pic is welcome to dm me 🐕

I bought a little olive tree to put on my balcony. I nearly bought it during winter but I convinced myself to wait for it to get a little warmer. Just have to get some potting soil and a larger pot and it should hopefully do well? I saw my downstairs neighbours have one that’s thriving so the climate should be ok :)

I guess I have a question: do plants really need different soil types? The little card that came with the tree says it requires special Mediterranean soil, but that sounds kinda fake to me tbh.

Cool, thanks for sharing!
