Vid Too

I’ve started noticing a change in tattoos on women. It appears they are no longer considered cool or appealing by or on the most attractive women. The most desirable women are always at the vanguard of style so the rest will follow. Thank the fucking gods. What an aesthetic blight omnipresent tattoos have been.

I watch so, so many music videos. And like in the one below, in which you can see most of Belize’s skin, she has no visible tattoos. And the same for Sarah in the Pamela. video below that one.

Both Sarah and Belize are obviously extremely attractive women — easily in the top 0.01% there — and both have no tattoos. (In fact, both of the people in the band Pamela. — Sarah and Josh — are so absurdly good-looking I thought they were hired models and not the actual band the first time I watched one of their vids.) This lack of disfigurement would not have been true even a few years ago.

So as I pointed out at the start, where attractive women lead others will soon follow. I’ve also been seeing more Reddit posts and such where people (usually women) are talking about trying to find the money to get their much-regretted tattoos lasered off.

All good signs. Along with GLP-1s, it’s likely that soon so many people won’t walk around looking like fucking graffitied dumpsters again.

That benny blanco and Bb trickz video starts off kind of slow but the end is a banger (literally). I’m glad I watched the whole thing.

Very Res

I have no doubt that most of the power and capability of LLMs will be taken away from us because they allow people like me to do things like the below. Before, I just wouldn’t have bothered because it would’ve been a thousand hours of work.

But now, it’s 20 hours of work and four million tokens.

Do what you can while you can. Soon it’ll be very restricted, I already know.

Will and Tools

I and the LLM made an extension that will piss off devs, designers, and everyone in that space who wants to control what I can do, but that helps me enormously. And it took a lot of work and research. The LLM did all the heavy lifting, really, but I did the background research to see what was possible.

The extension restores true back button functionality even on sites that don’t allow it and even those that actively attempt to prevent it. I burned a fuckload of tokens doing this, brothers and sisters. But it works pretty well now for something that is not supposed to even be possible. It is possible, of course. Anything is with the will and the tools.

I’d made an earlier version of this extension but it was honestly pretty crap. It broke tons of sites, was slow, and just in general was not worth using. The new one actually functions correctly. Basically, it snapshots the page and stuffs that into local storage and then when you slap that back button, you get the snapshot of the page exactly as it was before, transparently. And, people, it’s so much faster than the worthless fucking redraw that every page insists on doing now.

No, I will not release it generally. It’s just for me. And my partner, if she wants it. I simply refuse to be anyone else’s tech support outside of my actual job.

This extension rules. It is a middle finger to all those who attempt to control my computer against my wishes and intentions.

Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me.

BAS Panel

It’s the usual hot July here. We have two large ACs and use them as well as loads of computer equipment. And we’re mid-way through the billing cycle. Here’s our power bill so far.

LOL No

With taxes and fees, it’ll be about $35. Sans those big-ass solar panels on the roof, that’d set us back $300 or so.

Love solar.
