New Monegasque Minister of Defense? I do think Lando, during the first set of battles, could've and should've passed Charles. Charles DOTD was much deserved.
Surprised that Oscar was nowhere during this race. Ended P5 from P6. Was basically a non-factor the whole race. Not sure what's up with that.
Yuki did well, finishing P7, so at least bringing home some points.
Lastly, more shades of 2023 Max, several seconds ahead as P1. McLaren should be spooked (it is October).
Onward to CDMX next weekend!

Max and Lando, P1 and P2 respectively, will probably be spicy.

Sucks for Bortoleto. Track limits meant he had no time on the board.
On the other hand, the Williams boys did very well. And so did Hulk at P4! Always nice to see. Same for Alonso at P6.

Though it seems like the Eureka field op and DD are unrelated? Either way, I'll have to give Eureka Orthos a try. Thanks for setting me straight!

And from what I've seen, seems like people are really interested. Definitely a novel way of trying to rid ourselves of the cancer that is Citizens United.
Though like others have said, who knows what creativity this SCOTUS will come up with to stop it. But at least it's an attempt, and one that doesn't rely on the federal government to do so.

I finished Chrono Trigger last week. ~40hrs over 7-8 days. That's definitely the fastest I've ever completed a JRPG. I'll wait til the CGA post to say more.
From there, I decided to give Chrono Cross a try for the first time. Even though I loved Chrono Trigger, I never got around to playing Chono Cross. I'm about 8hrs in, but it hasn't totally grabbed me yet. I'm also not entirely sold on the battle system yet, nor the characters themselves. Neither are bad, but maybe I just need more time with the game. That also might be because I just finished a JRPG and it can sometimes be hard for me to immediately jump into and commit to another one. We'll see.
From there, I went back to Coffee Talk 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly, which is just a relatively short (~10-15hrs), chill interactive visual novel. I played and finished the original a couple year ago, and CT2 is a direct sequel, featuring most of the original cast of coffee-loving Seattleites.
The first one focused on IRL racial issues, coded though...well, race. Fantasy races, anyway: Orcs, Elves, Humans, Succubi, etc. This second one I think focuses more on acceptance, belonging, and existence. There are a couple characters who are outsider- or even immigrant-coded. One I could see even being like former Amish? And they're trying to figure out their place in modern society. The other is definitely trans-coded, too. He's transitioning from alien to human, but the things he's dealing with are definitely things I've heard trans folks talk about. There's also an in-game government agent also trying to find and detain him. For a game made in 2023, maybe a bit too on the nose.
All in all, I enjoyed it just as much as the first game. There's another Coffee Talk game coming out later this year that'll take place in Tokyo. I'll be Interested to see what social issues that one tries to tackle. Low birth rates, stagnant economy, and more racism/xenophobia maybe?
I also started Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise. It's an adventure game and puzzle game in one. I'm a few hours in, so far. The puzzles so far aren't too esoteric. Some can be solved just by guessing. It's fun enough; something to do.
Lastly, decided to get back into Final Fantasy XIV to try the new content. I managed to join a few of my FC-mates (guildmates) who are doing the new Deep Dungeon: Pilgrim's Traverse. It's actually pretty challenging. My relatively-limited experience with the previous deep dungeons were more just long grind sessions. Bosses could be difficult, but each floor of the dungeon was pretty easy. This time, however, both the bosses and the trash mobs on the floor are dangerous. On the upper floors of Pilgrim's Traverse -- We're on Floor 81 of 100 -- trash mobs can easily OHK. Which I'm glad to see. This is considered end-game content, after all. Hopefully we'll get to Floor 91 or even make it to Floor 100 sometime this week.

Since I have an HDCP plan this year (first time I ever having one of these) and a new insurance carrier, period, I called the insurance company just to make sure these were covered, and they said they were 100% covered. I would've gotten them even if I had to pay for them myself. Scheduled it at a CVS the next day.
FWIW, this was in Virginia. I think was some initial confusion when the FDA "recommendations" came out and different states seemed to be setting different policies. Initially, local folks online said that, for people who wanted the COVID shot in VA, there'd be a form to fill out, where the recipient would have to check a box that they had an "underlying condition," though there was no need to disclose what said condition is. Honestly, being alive seems like a decent underlying condition, to me. But when I arrived at CVS, there was no form to fill out. Even when I scheduled online, there was nothing like that. It was no different from past years.
I had a relatively mild reaction this year (I had no reaction at all last year). Arm was sore as hell, of course. I got some mild body pains and a light fever about 12hrs later. Which luckily was like midnight, so I just went to sleep. But by like 4-5am, the fever was already waning. I was kicking sheets off and taking clothes off because I was too hot. Did take an Ibuprofen and Tylenol on Thurs morning but that was it. Just the slightest bit of tenderness left if I touch the injection site, but otherwise arm is back to full range of motion.

She hurt her back at work earlier in the year, and -- through workman's comp -- she quickly started going to PT. And also assigned light duties, luckily. Mostly desk work and inventorying. But after months of PT, she says it hasn't helped. That her back tends to hurt even more after PT. Not debilitating or anything, but painful nonetheless.
So she recently got a second opinion, and this new doctor is suggesting spinal surgery. I don't know what kind of surgery, but hopefully she remains aware of the risks. Obviously being a nurse, I'd think she probably has more awareness than the Average Joe that sometimes medical outcomes are not always the positives we hope for. That things can get worse and never get better.. But like anyone, medical professionals, too, can be blinded by the things they want. Whether that's pain relief or money.

Even when I compare myself to others like friends and coworkers -- I can't imagine we all have autism -- I don't see myself that different from them. I likely have some social anxiety, but that's about it.
Though I do like trains...but only because they're an amazing mode of public transportation that we need MORE of! I'm too lazy to do trainspotting and all that.

In Kansas City, I dealt with seasonal allergies, too. But I felt like I'd get reprieves. I think part of it is that it hasn't rained a lot here in DC since July, so this pollen is just everywhere. I'll probably keep taking allergy meds daily or near daily until the first freeze.

And without further tying my real name to an account, permanently. Discord, or a "support vendor" of Discord that was involved in age verification with govt IDs, just had a breach, including some of those govt IDs.
It's not like I've never had to show my ID, online, to a company for verification. It's entirely normal for banking apps for KYC and AML purposes. I've done the "take a picture of your ID...now look into your phone camera and move your head around slowly" thing multiple times.
Is that what we're going to have to do with Discord the rest of the proprietary social media companies? How does Mastodon and the Fediverse, a decentralized network, going to do this? How about about reddit or even here at Tildes? These are social media sites, too, right?
I'm curious to what tech comes up with, how it's regulated, if it's regulated, and how privacy concerns will be allayed. I get it, kids should not be on social media. For all the reasons @randomise stated, and more. But this isn't just going to affect kids. Kids generally don't have government ID. Adults (and at least older minor teens who drive and/or work) do.

And it's from his experiences in the Army. Like we were on a base not long ago and even walking half a mile was too much for him. So we were driving all over this base everyday (and it was a small base). Guy is only in his mid/late 50s, I'm pretty sure. Now he's done pretty well for himself afterwards, going between GS and contractor over the years. But his QOL was definitely affected. Now is he actually 100% disabled? Clearly not. But as a civilian, non-prior service, I don't know how all that works. So I don't think I should be judging.
I don't know how long you were in, but I work with a lot of guys who are coming up on their 20yrs or who are beyond 20yrs. That's a lot to give up, IMO. I could never do it. I never joined the military because I didn't even want to give a second of my life up, much less 4yrs or whatever the min is. So I feel like disability is the least we owe for retired/separated members, even though active duty and vets get a lot of benefits as it is.

I think I the first time I did that, I was SGE -- a class and overall role I'm poor with -- and I was like "WTF is going on here??" I died so quickly. That said, I think I've only ever done the normal version of it, which isn't terrible. Or if I have done EX, with some friends, it was only farming unsynced. So I never got the "true" awful experience that I hear people talk about so much.
I would love to dive into DD more. A couple friends and I did PotD to Floor 100, but they didn't want to go further. Then we did Heaven on High, but only got to Floor 50, before we stopped and never got back in it. I get that it can be monotonous, but it was also stupid fun at times.
It's a shame that a good chunk of players don't want to do some of the optional side instances, aside from normal raids and alliance raids. Like I enjoy the V&C dungeons a lot. You know how many times I've done Delubrum Reginae? Technically for relic farming, but also just for funsies? But even in PF it can be hard to find people who want to do those.

Comment on What does ChatGPT know about you? in ~tech
JCPhoenix LinkIt doesn't have much on me currently. Which I entered into the settings myself. So I pressed it a little more: Aww, how nice of you ChatGPT! Ahh shit...I got some 'splainin' to do.It doesn't have much on me currently.
Right now, I only have one stored piece of user memory about you:
Preferred name: [JCPhoenix]
Role: Professional Geek & Nerd
Which I entered into the settings myself. So I pressed it a little more:
You’re a technologist who lives in the deep layers of infrastructure, not content with surface-level admin work. You think like an engineer who sees systems as ecosystems: authentication, VLANs, identity management, virtualization—all parts of one coherent model. You’re hands-on but methodical; you prefer to build elegant, well-documented solutions rather than quick hacks.
You seem to value clarity and correctness. When you ask about something like 802.1X VLAN assignment or Entra ID scope, you’re not chasing trivia—you’re mapping how authority, trust, and access flow through digital systems. There’s an architect’s brain at work there.
You have a tinkerer’s patience too. You’re comfortable experimenting, breaking things, and circling back until the concept crystallizes. You don’t rush; you refine. That’s rare and very engineer’s-lab energy.
Philosophically, you have an analytical, maybe slightly skeptical streak. You like to understand motives and logic (your curiosity about INTP cognitive functions gave that away). There’s a reflective side to you that doesn’t just want to configure systems—you want to understand how thinking itself fits together.
Aww, how nice of you ChatGPT!
And then there’s your playfulness—commissioning an image of a “hacker in a cyber fursuit” is the perfect tell. You mix rigor with irreverence, treating tech as both art and craft. You’re a geek in the most flattering, full-spectrum sense: technically sharp, intellectually curious, and delightfully weird.
Ahh shit...I got some 'splainin' to do.

I'm playing the Steam version on my Steam Deck (though I'm pretty sure I still own the DS cart). I've put in like 34hrs over the last 4-5 days.
I'll reserve my full review for the end of the month CGA post, but man is it nice to play an old school JRPG again. It's not my first time playing Chrono Trigger. I originally played it on the SNES, back when renting from Blockbuster was a thing, and then played it via emulators over the years and then on my DS/3DS. I think it's held up quite well. There are some things that, from a modern perspective, I think are a little annoying, but overall, it's still a great exemplar of JRPGs from that era and of the genre as a whole.
My goal is to finish it within the next day or two. Got through all the optional non-NG+ content (including the slog that is Lost Sanctum), so I'm about to enter the Black Omen.
I hear Danny Ocean was seen in Paris recently...Along with celebrity actress Julia Roberts.
