Where does one go to complain that X is down when X itself is gone?
Grok will give solace and support. It assured me that I was not banned (yet).

I disagree. Often their dreams are more interesting than their boring stories about some their "real life" situations, or - God forbid - their gossip.
I would even claim that at least for the phase in my life when I kept a diary of my dreams, and thus got much more observant of my dreams, I did have (somewhat) interesting dreams (even for other people), for example
- dreaming two dreams in parallel (it's basically like having two desktop applications open at the same time)
- having a dream where I additionally have a dream inside it (and I am aware of the latter); it does in my opinion not really feel like the Inception movie, but rather like the feeling of playing a video game where you are basically both a person who plays a video game in which you control a video game character (and are aware of this), and the character inside the video game.
Nothing more fun than telling your dreams to ChatGPT. Especially if it already has learned the details of the dream-world you are often living in.

I think he was quoting some unknown person, since the made the same comparison shortly before on an episode of Safety Third.
The most famous literary expression of this idea comes from F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby. While discussing the tedious nature of listening to others recount their dreams, there is a general literary consensus often attributed to him (and other authors like Mark Twain or Henry James) that:

I have the best. Natural noise generator, which means microphones outside. With 3 layered windows the winter is just too silent, or rather: filled annoying multistory house noises. In summertime windows are open and that is about the suitable noise level.
Also there is the outdoorsman's reaction to silence. When birds go silent, there is something bad happening. Bears or wolf pack.
This is a hard problem. Solvable only with try and error.
Those signals are just weird mess of coils, switches and resistors.
ESP32 clock speed may also be a contributing factor.
I asked Gemini to make sensible & readable version: https://github.com/timonoko/Jogwheel/blob/main/jogwheel_gem....
But did not improve much, except variable names are now less esoteric.
What a great idea. Legacy VCR controls upcycled for digital control! There's a lot of those old decks and LANC deck controllers lying around...

Hey Gemini, can you describe the imperial bicycle tire sizes compared to ISO in concise and preferably comical way?
Trying to understand imperial bicycle tire sizing is like trying to learn a language where the grammar rules change based on how the speaker feels that morning. It’s a chaotic legacy of Victorian engineering and regional stubbornness.
Here is the breakdown of the "Imperial Nonsense" vs. the "ISO Sanity.... etc etc
One ISO mishap I had recently. I tried to fit fat 47-622 to narrow 23-622 rim. Looked I ok, but when I raised pressure the rim cracked length-wise along the spoke-holes. Never heard this happening to anybody.

Modern Emacs isn't really meant to be used in a TUI, it has a very capable GUI. And there's a fully native Android port of that GUI.
