At least that’s how I felt when I got my first five a year ago… That leap is harder for me than the one between 3s and 4s.
The gym I go to has rowing machines, and I do 2000m every day. Hopefully my split is 2:20, but it’s a good way to get set and warmed up to climb, then lift weights afterwards.

His advice worked, and we ate Rainbow Trout for lunch.
That patience lesson has reoccurred in my mental theater hundreds of thousands of times, and while I do sometimes lose my patience, the good ole fish definitely comes when I don't .

I used to see people nodding off and hitting foilies right as strollers and kids alike walked past. It became part of the reason I left that beautiful city. I do hope when I visit this coming summer I’m surprised by the difference since, but from my friends still there, it hasn’t much :(

At the point of no return in the main story of CP, I downloaded the DLC and left it installed on my system, burnt out from gameplay and just casually roamed Night City doing side missions here and there for a year.
Then I finally had the time to sit and play this thing properly over the holiday break. I mean , my mind is blown. I wish I had the guts to write like a Choom or whatever but it still makes my shoulders go up and my face to scrunch in disgust when I read it, so…
Man, this story is out of control. Living through such a movie/theatre play made me love the game all over again. Dogtown being a shithole wrecked by the Unification War has pockets of beauty, but overall just feels like a garbage heap. The cast is outrageous, and the diversity in missions… ghaddamn.
I got the King of Cups trophy at the end. I guess I can finally finish the main story now, but that was incredibly satisfying.

It's all incredible either way.£3-400,000 for the original Warhammer cover art too? I feel like the Tolkien desk going for around £70k is more important, but maybe my bias is showing.

Comment on Do you feel like you’ve had many lives so far? Why, why not? Which? in ~life

There could be an argument that my first life was childhood to 18, then drinking for almost 20 years straight and now sobriety…
Another group of lives could be career, from college, studying music in advertising, being in a band, becoming a sincere piano tech, then a bartender yoga bum, and then sincerely a piano tech again…
Or maybe the four significant others I’ve loved and almost married, from the two year college love, to the band girlfriend, to the piano tech/composer girlfriend, to the actress/writer fiancé, to being single and lonely again.
My musician lives too? Is this thing on… piano as a child, concert and jazz band as a student, indie rock band as a young adult, classical piano and an r&b electronic album as an adult, and now all of the above?
What about my lives in different states and countries?
What about the life I lived as hiker trash SOBO solo on the AT? It was only six months but it was a lifetime…
That’s too many lives, man.
I also believe in past lives.

We laughed so darn much, my face was sore the whole next day. He really rocks like a star, and his band is outrageously good. We sat next to a family with kids in their early teens who knew every single word to every single song. Needless to say it's worth every penny.

Say you write a song and release it through CD Baby, it goes through whatever test (this is where my question gets too technical) to signify it’s human made, and it’s digitally imprinted with some code that can only be significantly detected. Like when you bought something on iTunes two decades ago and it was coded with piracy software… I’m still in the weeds thinking about this so I’m trying to make sense of it too.
Edit: in rereading your comment, I think we’re talking about the same thing. My bad!

I like the idea of your suggestion, labeling, as it's proven to work in the museum/gallery world for however long. Fraudulent art and recognition of craft is the more prescient task unfortunately, and the near future will show us that we won't be able to discern human vs robot content.
This immediately brings to mind the episode of Broad City (S3 E5) where Jaime is discovered to be a secret hoarder. You're doing the right thing by not touching their stuff... That's all I'll say.
