Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy

I'm overall happy with the work the tilers/masoners have done with our bathroom renovation so far. But man, trying to get them to close gates, doors and park at sensible spots is seemingly impossible. Almost tempting to work @ home in the noise just so I can be sure that they don't leave things open

Asagraum AND Arcturus to Inferno next year? Hell yeah.

Also Hellripper, Jordsjuk and Ellende.

Gonna be a really good Easter.

I've said it before, but Kyle Thompson is a MACHINE of an indie game dev. Four big, successful, critically praised metroidvanias in six years.

2020: Sheepo
2022: Islets
2024: Crypt Custodian
2026: Well Dweller

Whatever he does in 2028 is going to be amazing.

I am regularly blown away by the killer way "Song til stormen" kicks off Norrøn livskunst.

It's rare to see an album begin with such powerhouse vocals so immediately.

No music. No gradual lead-in to a song.

Just stacks and stacks of sweet, sweet Lars vocal harmonies the moment the album begins.

"De vet inderlig godt at hvis vi kutter sykelønna helt, så får vi fantastiske sykefraværstall å skryte av i OECD og andre økonomifora. Men mindre sykdom eller bedre produktivitet blir det ikke."
Noe av det sykeste jeg har hørt
Som spesialist i arbeidsmedisin med erfaring fra arbeid i bedriftshelsetjeneste fra 1980-tallet, lar jeg meg forbause over at politikere får fortsette å gjenta de samme forslitte talepunktene i sykelø...

Me just over the finish line after yet another PB on a 10k, 43:15 this time.

New 10k record (43:15) last Saturday, with significantly less pain in my legs compared to last time! Not so good that I can do HIIT today but this feels like manageable soreness at least.
So new 10k record by a huge margin on Saturday. And today I did a self-palpation of my leg and found pain consistent with stress fracture (focal++).

If it's actually a stress fracture then it's really infuriating, because I have done so much to prevent exactly this shit. And yet my body be like 🦴💥

COVID PSA: We now have PEP.

Ensitrelvir (Xocova) can be taken after a known COVID exposure to reduce the risk of developing COVID.

Preventing the infection in the first place also means preventing its potential downstream consequences, including Long COVID.

Wow, two researchers were tackling the Navier-Stokes problem for a year without advertising their approach while using OpenAI models for assistance. When OpenAI hears of this they “discover” the exact same approach and won’t disclose whether their model plagiarized the researchers’ private sessions

Dolly Parton did what literally no techbro billionaire would even think of doing: filling her life with good deeds that make people mourn her when she dies.

Not one of these assholes would even think of this, they are all right now completely and honestly baffled by the outpouring of love for her.

I don't believe in shaming other people's music taste. I also accept that I will have to listen to some Swift songs while I'm strength training when the running class is on.

But this new running coach is blasting Volbeat over the speakers, and let's just say that I briefly reconsidered my stance.
