All versions of "jack of all trades" quotes are BS

" Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one" LOL No That's still complete crap. I will not be a "jack of all trades". I will be a master of MANY skills and pursuits. My SELECTED BAND of topics.  Why do people think this is not possible? "Oh, the old polymaths had servants to do their chores!"  Yeah okay so  I'll doordash and eat EASY meals otherwise.  I'll clean while listening to audiobooks (improving writing skill) I'll ditch random social obligations that aren't with close friends and have a low likelihood of romantic ROI.  I'll push most leisurely fun stuff to Saturday late morning.  I will sleep 7 hours instead of 8 some nights.  I will order my groceries in advance and pick up in store so I don't have to pay delivery fees. Or waste time wandering the aisles. BO-RING.  ???????? That's it.  I do not try to quit anything. I doomscroll. I've never quit social media. I like my "sp...

A road trip day in snacking

I was so tired of feeling sick on road trips.  I don't get motion sick. I do have mild IBS (I Be Suffering) but I don't get motion sick on its own.  Headaches though? Yep, a problem. And as anyone who has lived with me or ridden roller coasters with me knows,  I'm always peeing because I'm always hydrated.  So I decided to make like a HAES influencer and intuitively eat after breakfast.  Read: EAT WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT AAAAA WHATEVER I FEEL LIKE EATING, GOSH! It seems to have worked. 2 hours remaining and I'm not sick.  FOOD BEFORE GoMacro bar (peanut butter chocolate)  Men's multivitamin gummies (up&up) Protein shake: orgain, collagen peptides, silk soymilk PB&J Crystal light energy x3: 180mg caffeine  FOOD DURING Propel Energy drink Bacon breakfast burrito (Cafe Feellove) Reese's Big Cup with Reese's pieces x2 Muscle Milk Plant Protein: Caramel Vanilla Pizza Hut: Personal Pan Pepperoni with Parm and Red Pepper Fatburger Vanilla Vega...

The big fat redo

One of the objectives of this current slew of self-study is to basically "redo college", not from a social perspective as much as an academic perspective (since the former is less important / is more difficult to re-create).  I'm trying to learn everything the RIGHT way, in a more correct order.  Right now I'm in the pre-college phase, meaning the stuff I wish I had come into the CS Animation premajor already knowing, in order to hit the ground running better. The real application of this is filling in any knowledge gaps that I have.  But I can't progress on basic coding, and you know why? because I need to finish my dad's site.  Yep. I told him I'd redo it and it has taken years. I am forcing myself to get it done. obviously I love web programming but turns out it's not as fun when you're dealing with a family member who just needs it done ASAP.  my personal coding block should be for ME, but I legitimately do not have any more room for additional...

Introspection time

I've delved back into personality theory fake-science and finally figured out my whole enneagram trifix. I may or may not have involved Claude AI in this discussion because the internet wasn't helping. Yep. I knew my core type as 4w5 instantly. But the rest? It took me years. I initially tested with a 7w6 -head fix (yep...LOL), and thought for years that maybe it was accurate because 1) I can be silly?  2) I have a LOT of pursuits compared to the average person 3) I am vaguely introverted-7ish at amusement parks if I am with an energetic group. I get along decently well with 7s overall.  4) I have generalized anxiety disorder (w6...????) But no. That's SUPER counterintuitive for me. It was obvious all along. A 5-head fix can still have an anxiety disorder, and a 5-head fix can still be somewhat polymathic, especially in the 541 tritype. I am constantly screaming MASTERY. This is competency.  My love for theme parks and roller coasters is from the SX seeking intensity. The...

dropping Mimo

wanted a code review app as a daily warmup before diving deeper into my code blocks and honestly, it went from extremely easy to so difficult that it was taking 40 minutes. This is a warmup, ffs. A way to enforce the 2 minute rule. I cannot have that bloating my whole code block. bye bye streak :/  Also their iphone app just randomly stopped working and it can only be done on ipad and they haven't fixed it, so what's the point? Going to try Encode, or whatever else I can find, until I get an app that actually stays as a warmup and doesn't start throwing volleys of CSS crap at me without explaining it properly. 

new VR slide at Splash Summit

Image
Sent out to their email list, it seems. NGL, this should be fun, but I think it won't be as impressive as it sounds, and here's why.  Yes, VR is awesome. I have a MetaQuest. I play on it regularly. I won't dispute that. And waterproof VR? Excellent! It should be FUN, yes.  BUT they aren't building a new slide -- they're just putting it on Mudslide Gorge.  This is arguably the second most popular slide in the entire park, directly after Vortex.  So what is that going to do to the already-long lines? Bloat them? Artificially slow loading? (Yes. yes it will.)  Also, there is already a TON of congestion in the steps leading up to Mudslide and the Storm Slides. There is also a super sketchy part of the stairs there that's rotting so badly that I expect someone to fall through at some point.  Who builds a slide tower out of WOOD? WHAT?  And it's an extra fee, but you don't HAVE to pay it, because you can just go on it normally without a headset.  This w...
