  • My time has come! I have a podcast for everything. What do you like?

    I subscribe to over 250 podcasts. -_- I don’t listen to all of them every day, and many aren’t in production anymore.

    I love to listen and learn.

    Unexplainable - Explainers on scientific mysteries, each episode is less than 30 minutes

    What Went Wrong - Behind the scenes movie podcast. It’s a miracle any movie gets made.

    Song Exploder - Musicians take apart their songs, layer by layer and talk about how it was made

    Hysteria - Politics and News focusing on how the issues affect women

    Levar Burton Reads - Levar Burton reads short stories. Not in production anymore, but there are almost 200 episodes worth of stories to hear

    Hello From the Magic Tavern - A guy falls to another dimension but still gets WiFi so he started a podcast interviewing fantasy characters in that universe

    Welcome to Night Vale - A fictional story told through a bi-monthly community updates radio broadcast. All conspiracies in Night Vale are real.

    Hacked - Stories about hacking and internet crime.

    Ologies - Science show about ‘-ologies’ careers




  • 88 was my favorite number for a long time until I found out that Nazis were using it. Bummer. I’m weirdly still sad about it.

    I can’t even tell you why it was my favorite number. I think as a kid, I always heard people pick 7 and I just wanted to be different so I leaned into 8s. Idk.

    Now, I struggles because I like 8s but I don’t want to be a Nazi. F’ing Nazis ruin everything.

    Guess I could just like 8 or 888, haha.



  • Hyper focus is a real problem for me. I don’t even realize I’m hungry or that my bladder is full until I’m feeling nauseous or light headed. What feels like 15 minutes is actually hours.

    At the same time, if I don’t complete a project from start to finish in one sitting, it’s nearly impossible to restart.

    I don’t get basic things done like laundry or remembering to make appointments because I’m stuck on one task. Sometimes I’m afraid to do things I love because I can’t just do it for 20 minutes. Especially video games. I want to relax after work and play but I know I can’t let myself or I might not eat that evening.



  • I don’t know if this AT&T service covered all of NY but for sake of my point I’m going to assume it covers most to all of NY. Obviously, not everyone would subscribe to AT&T either. I’m generalizing a bit to make a point.

    There are approx 8.5 mil households in NY and 1.7 mil qualified for the previous affordable broadband law (couldn’t find an exact number for this current law).

    If they charge $60 for the service that’s a potential total of $512,000,000 for NY.

    If 1.7 mil get broadband for $15 that’s $25,500,000.

    So AT&T is willing to give up a potential $487,000,00 from all other NY customers just to spite low income families.

    Note: this is income before any AT&T expenses, just to be clear and fair.

    Edit I was clear or the article wasn’t clear.

    1. ATT is pulling 5G service from existing customers. They were given a 45 day window to find a new provider. I’m not talking about new construction.

    2. they are not obligated to provide fiber at $15. Only broadband. I know there are still expenses with that, but there is much more broadband already available than fiber.


  • I need help getting started. I’m not an idea person. I can make anything you come up with but I can’t come up with the ideas on my own.

    I’ve used it for an outline and then I rewrite it with my input.

    Also, I used it to generate a basic UI for a project once. I struggle with the design part of programming so I generated a UI and then drew over the top of the images to make what I wanted.

    I tried to use Figma but when you’re staring at a blank canvas it doesn’t feel any better.

    I don’t think these things are worth the cost of AI ( ethically, financially, socially, environmentally, etc). Theoretically I could partner with someone who is good at that stuff or practice till I felt better about it.
