    ChatGPT 5 Code Interpreter and Data Analysis

    October 27, 2025 /

    If you want to make sure that ChatGPT 5 can generate Microsoft Word (and other file)s in a chat, you can do so by creating a custom GPT. The older versions of ChatGPT could grant the tools for new chats to do this more intelligently, but the current version is random as to whether it will be able to provide actual files for download or not. The big problem is that even if it can’t provide files for you, it will bullshit you and say it can until it’s forced to provide one (even going so far as to provide links for you to click on, that mysteriously time out).…

    Sad to hear about Gucci, but happy to hear he’s been dealing with it and has someone to lean on. I’ve been listening to Trap House 5 every day since I heard, and it’s got that hungry from-the-gutter vibe. No One Else, foo.

    Assekoeken

    October 15, 2025 /

    Couque d’Asse is a popular Korean-made cookie featuring a delicate, crisp biscuit with a creamy white chocolate or coffee filling, often sold individually wrapped. The name is a nod to the French word “couque,” meaning “cake,” and “d’Asse,” which refers to the Belgian city of Asse, although the cookie itself is a modern snack from Korea. To add a bit more to the cultural mix, this is a Japanese cookie being sold in a Thai department store. Why did they make the “D’asses” plural if it refers to a singular Belgian town? Because they love couques?

    I found these at Big C Maha Sarakham (still slowly dying). I just found the brand funny for some reason. But AI told me that it’s an established brand that’s been around a long time. Because of course it is. The typesetting is just everything I ever expected.

    She’s been getting sick a lot and has skin lesions since she has FIV and is over 10 years old now. Sad. I’ve been taking her to the vet pretty often for over a month and she has had a fever on and off for a few weeks. I kept taking her to the vet for antipyretic shots and antibiotics and various boosters, and then out to various parks and ponds for fresh air. The fever finally broke today and she is meowing again.

    “It would be an honor if you would go to homecoming with me”

    October 7, 2025 /

    I’ve been gone from the states for so long, I didn’t even understand what a hoco proposal poster was. My immediate thought was that it must put an awful lot of pressure on the girls. But when I asked my daughter, she said girls feel insulted if you don’t make a poster. I’m so old and out of it. The title of this post was an answer to “how to ask someone to hoco without a poster,” which appeared among the first page of search results for “hoco poster,” along with an illustrated WikiHow guide.
