For full transparency, the "travel mixup" is that I went to the wrong location of the hotel chain I had a reservation for, and I had to get in a car and go across town to the location where I could actually get online and do a call. π #MistakesWereMade
I live in regret. This past week I restocked on longer lasting treats for my girl. She loves sheep horns so I got a couple of those and threw in a couple of yak cheese chews to see how she likes them. I'm always on the hunt for things she can't swallow whole in 10 minutes. Yesterday I opened the yak chews. OMG!! Doggie joy!! So excited she was! And the one I gave her lasted an hour...maybe more. Today however, the humans are sad. Copious unspeakable yak cheese farts are the order of the day. Portrait of the little stinker hogging up my office blanket. Yes, she'll get them again. But not often. Euuughh!!! #dogsOfMastodon #mistakesWereMade
So yesterday after using the Gym for a while I decided to try the gyms hybrid tanning bed. It was supposed to be a combination of UV for tanning and Red light therapy which has some benifit for some skin issues.
I was hoping the combination would help with the swelling and discoloration of my right leg where I broke it back in '22.
I was on there for 10 Minutes... This is where the mistake was made.
I have spent YEARS avoiding most sunlight. Even in Summer I mostly wear long sturdy pants that don't let much if any sun through.
I am unfortunately suffering from a sunburn today.
It's uncomfortable, and frankly I will not be doing this again until I ha e recovered from this mistake.
And even then it's 3 minutes max.
It's not fun today.
that thing, when the new automated mattress company over-fits the product to your uploaded sleep data ;> #joverc #mistakesweremade #ai #overfit
Idea for a guaranteed hit video series:
#Blender newbs send in pics of seemingly simple models that nonetheless took them hours and many mistakes and longwinded complicated methods to achieve.
Blender expert shows how to make that same model the right way, in about a minute flat.
(If this already exists someone please point me at it, thanks)
The internet convinced me to buy flies for my pet frogs. It was not a good idea. My frogs are too intellectually challenged and privileged to hunt anything. Now the flies have escaped and are literally everywhere. My cat is slightly more competent but he hasn't caught any either.
"Go play in the snow, it'll be fun!" you said.
I have vaulted into the maelstrom that is mechanical keyboards. "Only" two are needed, and the first that arrived is for a shared "computer desk" space with my partner.
I thought that cherry mx red switches combined with "3.5 mm of sound absorbing foam" would be nearly comparable to my old mushy low-volume rubber-dome keyboard.
That was .. *not* accurate. π¬ A very hasty purchase of bobagum switches has been made. :blobcatfacepalm:

OK. I skipped one resistor and this #ESP32 is now in silicon heaven. #mistakesweremade #iot #diy
Oh, that was 4 boxes of 4 packs of paper... Not 1 box of 4 packs...
Oh no this is terrible

Photographers: Have you ever botched a photo so bad, the only hope of any redemption is to do some crazy processing?
Today, I caught a pair of red-tailed hawks mating and I fired off several shots. Somehow, my ISO got bumped to 16000, and the result was extremely bright highlights. No way to recover those details, so I used an infrared filter and this is the result.
I dunno, I kinda like it. If it was Halloween time, I'd definitely put this on a card, LOL.
I think it's important that we all take our mistakes with grace and humility. For example, I remember when my dad first plugged a phone chord into his laptop. Not in a built-in depression, no I'm much older than that, but in a slide out plate, and I heard the screams of dying robots for the first time. I'd seen my first robot sacrifice to the internet gods.
He looked at me and said "This will change the world".
I looked at him skeptically. Why would anyone sacrifice cool sticks, beating your siblings with pool noodles and scrambling over rocks or playing with the neighbors for this silly "AOL" like where did he get that disk anyways? Internet? nah it'll never take off so long as there's sticks.
Oh jeeze was I wrong. Now I am stuck with people that don't know a universe without the internet or phones. I remember the USSR and these kids don't know a universe without google. My mom has a piece of the Berlin Wall she prouldy displays to this day because it fell shortly before our family was stationed in Sohren. I learned how to use the Almanac and the Dewey decimal system because I was in school before the prototype launch of Google in 1995.
It's important to accept that sometimes our decisions and predictions are just the worst and that is not a judge of our character. We can't change so long as we ca't accept we are wrong. I'm really really smart but also sometimes I just make the worst decisions anyone could ever make. Like dating a meth addict that's true problem was cheating but that's a story for another time.
