    #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings 1. Drove for the first time in a parking lot this weekend. I have a practice Thursday too. Feels weird learning at 29 years old. 2. After two weeks, my kitten is very comfortable in her new home. A bit too comfortable in fact. 3. After a week of vacation I&#39;m back on research, and the project moved enough without me that I don&#39;t feel stressed at my return.

    Research has me constantly under pressure. I&amp;#39;m 2 years sober of alcohol, I stopped smoking 1 month and a half ago and I don&amp;#39;t even drink coffee anymore, only tea, because I was drinking too much coffee. I needed something to decompress. So I started playing video games. But this computer, although it has a RTX 5070 GPU, was built for machine learning development, not for gaming. Yesterday I changed the CPU from a ryzen 5 7600X to a ryzen 7 9800X3D and games run smoothly since t...

    Poupou getting morning pats. She always comes join me in the morning when I wake up. But she doesn&amp;#39;t like sleeping on the bed with us because we snore. #cats #CatsOfMastodon

    I won&amp;#39;t be at BSDCan this year because, although I got the okay to take a break from research, my TA workload doesn&amp;#39;t allow me to travel and take a break. I&amp;#39;ll try to accept less TA contracts next summer to have the opportunity for time off.

    So by quitting nicotine and replacing coffee with tea because I was abusing caffeine, I managed to get severely addicted to tea. I wake up in the morning and crave a cup of tea in the same way I used to crave a cigarette. The human brain is very weird sometimes.

    Poupou is going to have a little brother! I&amp;#39;m adopting a kitty soon, it&amp;#39;s going to be the brown one from this picture. It&amp;#39;s been caught with its mother, but the mother is very wild, broke the window screen and ran away. They already eat solid food so it&amp;#39;s fine, but might not be very good to separate them from their mother yet. Regardless, I&amp;#39;ll adopt him in the coming weeks and plan a visit to the vet for regular wild kitty stuff. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #...

    #ThreeGoodThings #3GoodThings 1. I&amp;#39;ve received my research grant. With it I bought a new computer chair and it&amp;#39;s the most comfortable thing ever. It beats even my couch. 2. Only 2 exams left this week, then I&amp;#39;m dedicating my summer and the next two years to master&amp;#39;s research. 3. I ran into an old friend today while coming back from my exam. It&amp;#39;s a huge coincidence since he doesn&amp;#39;t even live in my city. We spoke for 30 minutes and caught up. It wa...

    When I finished high school I didn&amp;#39;t really care because I knew I was going further. When I finished college I didn&amp;#39;t care because I knew I was going to university. I&amp;#39;ve never been to a graduation or seen my diplomas. I&amp;#39;ve just finished all the required university courses, but I&amp;#39;ve already started a master&amp;#39;s degree. This time though they&amp;#39;ll send it to me by the mail.

    @Flipboard I prefer to share news directly to people by text, I don&#39;t share many news on social media unless I have an opinion to publicly express

    @phooky it&#39;s tried and true. While everything else is in constant evolution, crab stays crab. No need for updates or maintenance, it just crabs.

    Lazy Tuesday morning. I&amp;#39;m ahead on schoolwork so I allowed myself to sleep in and stay in bed for a long time.

    I took the bus on my way home as usual. The bus was nearly empty and no seats were taken either in front or behind me. I watch videos on my phone during the ride for one hour, didn&amp;#39;t notice anything weird. Then I get up, check if I&amp;#39;ve forgotten something at my seat, and there was a brown paper bag with handles in the style of a gift bag at my feet during the whole ride. Inside of it was meat. I pick up the bag, look around, everyone is far from me, nobody claims it or even looks...
