lol I was just wondering because my cats are so fucking skittish at everything so I wasn’t sure if there was a slower process of getting them acclimated to different social settings that are more manageable and predictable. Then easing into the bar because I find bar environments sometimes overwhelming and I’m a human!

How did they bar train the maine coon?

You’re not doing anything wrong in my opinion. Some of us just don’t get an endorphin boost from exercise.

I’m a marathon runner and I have never experienced a runner’s high or whatever these other people get from normal training.

There’s this chart about “types of fun” that finally made it click for me. Some people find the mundane training as “Type I” fun. Some of us have activities that are this and others that aren’t fun in the moment. For me, skiing is type I. Running is not.

I run as a discipline, it feels good looking back on my calendar of training and seeing the work I’ve put in. So I get Type II fun from it. I like to say “I run for the medals” and that’s mostly this concept. I don’t run for the fun, I train for the PR or the “win” or a medal. It’s seeing my work pay off, my discipline for months on end being paid out.

So it’s not the running, it’s achieving the hard goal I set. Anyway, I hope this makes you feel seen. It’s really frustrating to see all the hype about endorphins or whatever being a mood booster, but that’s not the reality for a lot of people.

Also good job on the consistency for a year! That’s impressive! Especially without the mood boost other people get!!

Youtube apparently.

We’re around with no plans to shut down!

Well now I want to see the spreadsheet too!

I want to love Murakami novels but the views on sex that bleed into his longer novels are very uncomfortable sometimes (looking at you 1Q84). Anyway also https://archive.is/8sNHt

Google launched “Google Wallet” in 2011. Killed it in 2015 for “Android Pay”. Android Pay was killed for Google Pay. Then Google Pay was deprecated for the version of Google Wallet that you currently use.

What is that music app?

Beeper Mini registered your phone number with Apple and connected directly to the iMessage servers. That version was killed after three days of usage. The mac mini farm still works but that’s just through an apple ID email address.

iOS 17 uses a small gpt-2 based model for predictive text.
