The next most excruciating stroke is the 8 and 6 and under backstroke. It’s hard enough for an adult to do backstroke in a straight line, so there is no expectation of these kids doing that. Instead what we are treated to is usually how golden retrievers would race – completely random, kids going zig zag, kids losing all sense of direction and turning 180 degrees, and all sorts of random events. By the time they finish they are battle ready with the amount of scars and hits they have had on their hands and heads by crashing diagonally into lane dividers every 1 meter. Absolutely painful.

Nothing is more excruciating than watching 8 and 6 and under swimming the 25m breast stroke in summer swim. It’s like watching something at event horizon – it looks like they are reaching the other side, except they never seem to do. Of course there is no stroke mechanics involved here and it’s more participation and cheering glory, but literal puppies struggling and battling the monstrous sea to get to other side is kinda cute to see.
After months of trying to convince him not to come to USA for his masters, my cousin informed me he indeed is coming here for his masters. Then his mom calls up and says “now everything is in your hands! Take care of him and job placement”. Like, I spent months telling you why this is not the right time to be in USA as a student on F1 and how waiting it out maybe till 2027/8 would have been better, but now “everything is in my hands” it seems. FML.
Apparently the USA government gave Anthropic only 90 minutes to fix their vulnerabilities. In the AI age, 90 minutes is more than enough for a swarm of agents to fix the problem no? That’s the promise these companies keep making – so ok, eat your own dog food. Fix your vulnerabilities with your own AI! (Btw, this is not a novel concept – Cisco had self-defending and self-healing networking features that protected against cyber attacks and ddos as far back as 2003-4)
The teen is having her official bday party today afternoon with her “girlfriends” and she has gone all out decorating the basement while last week with family friends she couldn’t care less. She put out the Wii and the boys and her had a great time. But for today the prep work is like wtf? For food I am supposed to get a tray of chicken fingers and fries from Raisin Cairns and Chick fil-a separately. Why not just from one place I ask coz they are just chicken fingers, and I am told some of her friends won’t touch one over another. I tell you boys are easier to deal with. None of the boys last week complained and simply jugged down out whatever we fed them and went back to Wii.
If someone says they love French cuisine just feed them a bowl of unsalted boiled carrots and they will complement you for feeding them a 3 Michelin star meal.
OMG the LinkedIn slop after Anthropic pulled the AI models has been unbearable. Please for love of god just release these models to shut up “this changes everything!” posters!
All desis are like “Norah fatehi” to perform at opening ceremony for fifa, makes India proud! Bhai, she’s Moroccan. Relax.
Sold the last of my World Cup tickets for France Vs Iraq game after my friend backed out – I sold them prior to fifa assigning the seat and the day of Feb transfer they assigned it – and holy cow they were in a spectacular location on the field. The buyers will love it!
The single biggest difference to blood sugar levels after a meal is a walk. I have now tested this with continuous glucose monitor for several days. A 15-20 min walk right after eating literally does wonders vs just sitting down again at desk or sofa. The difference is staggering. And I am not talking fast brisk walk – just normal pace. Don’t sit, is all.
