AI challenges meaning in a world becoming an illusion
Society falls into the abyss of illusion. Whatever is applicable in the context of art is also for the rest of all works, creative or intellectual, by human beings. Whatever we decide does not stop at art, AI inevitably will consume in some form all disciplines and master them.
https://preview.redd.it/1mvje53nwu3b1.png?width=1277&format=png&auto=webp&s=2797174fc18243588e1e99f8f4c9a35872f3abe5
A significant driver of rapid adoption is social media engagement. It is undeniable the leverage AI currently presents as a tool to be leveraged for growing account visibility. It therefore makes it a bit harder to discern overall public opinion as these accounts and posts get significant boosting across all media platforms. It would seem in some aspects that AI is winning strongly over content created by humans. However, it is not clear if that is the case. Nonetheless, it all becomes a moot point as AI continues progress towards results that are no longer distinguishable from human.
"Where is the value in AI creativity? Does it actually create anything? What can be said of artistic works in which the creation was essentially a series of playing at the lottery of the machine until something fantastic emerges? Spinning the wheel of chance and instead of red, black or some number, it is a series of lexical phrases with which we hope to catch the spinning ball on the Roulette and award us a work of art. "
An AI composite of my own intended to capture the counter perspective of AI art.

At some point, if we can simply wish something into existence, then what is the point? We have removed the journey of the human experience. If we were to look backwards at astounding past works, how would we view them through todays lens? Would it look like the following?

https://preview.redd.it/938o63ujzu3b1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=43c0c47d2ce511f5a5cc363ef3131a2721598c0e
Where does all this leave us with meaning and understanding of the world? As AI is essentially a skill/technology replication machine, this means that there are no safe plateaus on the skill ladder to reach towards.
"Climbing the skill ladder is going to look more like running on a treadmill at the gym. No matter how fast you run, you aren’t moving, AI is still right behind you learning everything that you can do."
These are some concepts from my further and deeper elaborations on AI and the impacts to culture and society - https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-end-to-all-things
It is my opinion that art may be at the forefront of societal awareness of AI impacts, but many have still not yet considered what it means for everything else.

RenPlat Nuzlocke Update
Been a long time since the last RenPlat post I made, been swamped up in schoolwork and other stuff. I beat Gardenia with no losses with Crobat, Umbreon, Monferno, and Grotle and Jupiter was pretty easy. I’ve been really winning the lottery with natures, (Metang has a Brave nature which is pretty nifty if I do say so myself). Only three losses, a Surskit, Machop, and a Shiny Bidoof.

2023.06.03 20:45 Aware_Independence80 Your experiences/life choices as a new grad nurse?

I have one more year until I graduate with my BSN, and I definitely want to move out of the house ASAP. I have friends in older cohorts who graduated this year and it’s nice seeing all the different paths each of them are choosing to follow straight out of school. Knowing my time to graduate will creep up fast, I’m stumped on what to do/what choices I want to pursue as a new grad nurse. I ideally want to move to SD post graduation, but I’ve already explored and know the area so I’m wondering if it would be worth it to go somewhere completely new to me. Im still trying to figure out what my goals are to advance my career after nursing school whether it be PA school, teaching, military/flight nursing, etc. I’m single with no kids so I feel like I can do/move wherever I want after graduation. Just feeling unsure about the future so if you guys could share your experiences after graduating and maybe some things you wish you tried/did differently as a new grad that’d be appreciated! I’m also interested in the idea of navy nursing or working in the reserves if I get that bored.

2023.06.03 20:07 Stock-Astronomer2709 [New York Post] The 2023 NBA Draft is an uncommon Sean Marks chance — what it means for the Nets’ picks

The Nuggets and Heat are squaring off in the NBA Finals, led by players who were taken 41st and 30th in their respective draft classes.
Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and Jimmy Butler are living, breathing, scoring reminders that there are great players to be found anywhere in the draft — if you scout and develop well enough.
It’s a lesson the Nets — who this June will have the best draft capital to work with that general manager Sean Marks has ever had – would do well to remember. And an example they will try to replicate.
“In terms of star players on both teams, of course you have two essentially late-round draft picks,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday night at Game 1 in Denver. “I think that’s a great story for basketball fans everywhere.”
Jokic is the best player in these Finals and arguably the best in the league — having won two straight MVPs before being unseated last month by 76ers superstar Joel Embiid. He’s also as big a draft steal as there is in the NBA.
The NBA Finals matchup of the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic and the Heat’s Jimmy Butler shows how stars can emerge from non-premium draft positions.
The Knicks’ Jalen Brunson (No. 33 overall), the Warriors’ Draymond Green (No. 35) and the Bucks’ Khris Middleton (39) were also second-round draft picks.
While all the attention is paid to the top overall picks such as projected 2023 No. 1 Victor Wembanyama and the rest of the lottery selections, some of the world’s biggest stars were taken outside the lottery: former MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and two-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard each were selected 15th overall.
“You can find players,” an Eastern Conference scout told The Post. “And this draft is pretty deep.”
This year’s draft is regarded as stronger than the 2024 pool. The Nets can only hope so.
The 2023 NBA Draft revolves around Victor Wembanyama (1), but the depth of the class includes French club teammate Bilal Coulibaly.
The Nets currently have three picks on June 22: Nos. 21, 22 and 51 overall.
It’s the start of a span, through 2029, during which the Nets have the fourth-most draft capital in the league: 11 first-round picks and nine second-rounders.
The board around No. 21 and No. 22
Marks has a strong track record in the draft since his arrival, selecting future All-Star Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert late in the first round and rising center Nic Claxton in the second round.
Presuming the Nets keep their first-round selections at No. 21 and No. 22 later this month, they will be the second-highest and tied-for-third-highest picks Marks ever has made, behind effectively taking LeVert with the No. 20 pick in 2016 (it went in the official record as a Pacers selection).
Marks has a history of being fairly aggressive either leading up to the draft or on draft night. Where he’s sitting weeks before is rarely where he lands.
But presuming he stands pat, there will be plenty of talent in the early-20s range, including South Carolina freshman G.G. Jackson, G League Ignite’s Leonard Miller and French teen Bilal Coulibaly, the players most often connected with the Nets in mock drafts.
G.G. Jackson’s draft stock is enhanced by his age: He doesn’t turn 19 until December.
Coulibaly is Wembanyama’s 18-year-old teammate at Metropolitans 92 in Paris, a long-armed defensive disruptor with 6-foot-8 height, a 7-foot-3 wingspan and plenty of room to develop his game.
The 6-foot-9, 214-pound Jackson is the youngest player in the class, even younger than Coulibaly, with NBA size, scoring ability and questionable shot selection.
And Miller, a fast-rising 6-foot-10 Canadian forward, looks to be a promising, versatile defender.
“There is a lot of young talent that could help our organization,” Nets scouting operations director and G League Long Island general manager J.R. Holden told NetsDaily after returning from the G League and NBA Combines. “This draft has everything: shooting, athleticism, guys with high basketball IQ.”
The Nets are doggedly secretive even about which prospects they’ve brought in for workouts or interviewed.
Leonard Miller, who played this season for G League Ignite, is moving up draft boards.
Among the few prospects with first-round grades who reportedly have worked out for the Nets: Xavier junior shooting guard Colby Jones, North Carolina State sophomore shooting guard Terquavion Smith and junior shooting guard Andre Jackson from reigning national champion UConn.
The other names that have emerged — including DePaul senior small forward Javan Johnson, whom The Post reported worked out for Brooklyn on Wednesday — are pegged either as second-round selections or projected to go undrafted.
Lanky Eastern Michigan small forward Emoni Bates, a one-time top-rated prospect, is often projected to the Nets in the second round of mock drafts.
The New Zealand connection
Marks personally flew 10,000 miles to scout French guard Rayan Rupert, a 6-foot-7 standout for the New Zealand Breakers of the National Basketball League. Rupert, who turned 19 on Wednesday, is typically rated as a late-first-round pick.
Marks watched Rupert first in Brisbane, Australia, and then two days later in Auckland, New Zealand.
Rayan Rupert was scouted in person by Nets GM Sean Marks while playing this season for the NBL’s New Zealand Breakers.
Yes, Marks is from Auckland, and his former Suns teammate Shawn Marion coaches the Breakers. But the fact that Nets director of player evaluation B.J. Johnson also made the trip speaks to how they view Rupert as a prospect.
And the young Frenchman apparently is pretty impressed with Brooklyn as well.
“My dream has always been to play in the NBA,” Rupert told ESPN. “I’m ready to take the next step in my career.”
He added: “I’m watching a lot of Nets games. My favorite player is Mikal Bridges. He plays with great energy and can do everything on the court. He used to be a 3-and-D player like me, but now he is a franchise player. I love everything about him.”
Rupert has worked out in Texas with Tim Martin, who is also Claxton’s trainer. Claxton joined Bridges in finishing in the top 5 in voting for the NBA Most Improved Award this season, and is one of the Nets’ bigger draft success stories.
In other developments…
Nets assistant coach Ryan Forehan-Kelly has been instrumental in Claxton’s development, and likely will be hands-on with the players the team drafts later this month.
The Nets worked to develop Caris LeVert (pictured racing ahead of the Nuggets’ Jamal Murray) after making him the highest draft pick of the Sean Marks era in 2016.
He watched how head coach Jacque Vaughn — then the lead assistant to Kenny Atkinson — worked to mold LeVert.
“One thing that stands out to me is … how meticulous [Vaughn] was in planning for the workouts and how focused he was in building [LeVert’s] tool belt, and what tools needed to come first, and when and where to use these tools, teaching him those things,” Forehan-Kelly said on the “Voice of the Nets” podcast with Chris Carrino. “So early on, it was a blessing just seeing how he operates, how he teaches. And a lot of those things I still use now.
“Just how many resources are here, that’s what makes our organization special, is the culture and how many people are involved in investing in these kids and helping them reach their full potential.”
Nobody knows which guys the Nets will end up with, or even exactly which ones will be available to them.
But with a deep pool of 2023 prospects, they have a chance to come away with some useful players — if their due diligence gets done.

Just Got scammed. Are these your cat photos? What do we do?
Help! Im posting this here since I don’t know what to do.
So my friend was offered 2 permese cats for ₱3k each. Since alam ko po na iyon ang usual prices natin for permese, naniwala kami na legit.
Sabi ni maxine na nag babawas daw ng kittens si jowa nya since breeder sya. And she sent us a lot of photos so napaisip kami na baka legit nga naman talaga. Medyo good vibes din dating ni Maxine since she seemed excited and happy about the cats nagkukwento pa sya about how they got chipped etc.
Nung dedeliver na po yung printer, bigla po binlock yung friend ko hindi na din matawagan.
I want to take actions or at least man lang post awareness to others na baka mascam sila and how theyre cats are being used to bait innocent people.
Hingi lang po kami ng advice on what to do sa ganitong situation

2023.06.03 19:31 Nodella1 Success Story

Success Story
F39 5ft1. Hw 228, sw212, cw 112
Diagnosed with kidney disease in Sept. 2021. On track to be on dialysis in 2 years. Started Oz in Nov, ‘21 because of obesity, ckd, and suspected metabolic disorder.
Been heavy since puberty- weight watchers (the first time) at 13 and I’ve tried diets, calorie counting, meds, exercise- nothing made much of a difference. Even at my healthiest, I was obese.
I was a hyper responder and started losing right away and never plateaued. Only went up to 1.0 and lost the weight in about a year.
Changed my diet but no calorie counting. I don’t drink, eat red meat or pork, eat fast food and rarely eat fried food. On Oz, portion size changed dramatically and my adhd cravings for carbs and sugars vanished. Actually struggled to get calories and added boost high protein shakes to most days for a whole.
Side effects- nausea for 6 months. I made it worse by assuming it was normal. Increased my hydration and for a script for Zofran and that helped. Silent acid- fixed with Prilosec.
I did lose hair- my doc ran bloods and said that hair loss is usually not because of a protein or vitamin issue but that weight loss is a shock to the body that interrupts the hair growth cycle. When it kicks back in, the little baby hairs below the skin push out the old long hairs. Doc had me add D3 and biotin to encourage regrowth.
I do have loose skin. Inevitable when you lose that much weight. How much it goes back is mostly based on how much you lose, age, genetics, and luck. Doc said to give it 2 years before considering surgery.
Not a lot of vanity money but will likely consider a breast lift down the line. I don’t mind smaller but tmi, they look like hanging socks with tennis balls, lol.
For exercise, bc of the adhd, I’m not great at self motivation. So I fixed my budget and hired a trainer. Started with one day a week and the nausea made it rough! It got better though and now I lift 4x a week and am even considering competition- eek!
Been on a maintenance dose of .5 every 10 days for 8 months with no gain. I have an appetite but it’s under control and easy to push away things when I’m full. A pint of ice cream that I could eat in a sitting now lasts 3-4 days.
Got to my maint dose by dropping first to .5 every 7. Wanted to retain the max meds but stop losing. My doc and I set a hard stop and if I hit that number or bmi, we were reducing the dose. Moved to .5 every 10 and that seems to be the magic number. If I lost still, it’d probably go .25 every 7, then .25 every 10.
No one’s journey on these meds is the same and losing 47% of your starting weight is NOT typical. Clearly this med fixed something the others didn’t- my out of whack hormones. Planning on being on this for life because if I go off, my hormones go back to how they were before.
Lucky to have an amazing doctor- we do bloodwork and check ins every 3 months. I also have good insurance (had to get a PA to stay on the maintenance dose though)
Happy to answer questions about my experience. Going to cross post this as well on a couple other subs in case my experience might help others along the way.

2023.06.03 19:03 Ancient_Mousse_3930 Being Single vs Being in a relationship

Pansin ko lang ang gaan at ang ganda ng takbo ng buhay ko kapag single ako kasi every time na nasa isang relationship ako palagi na lang akong nagkakaroon ng depression and palaging nag o-overthink.
Dalawang beses pa lang akong nagkaroong ng girlfriend but sa dalawang relationship na 'yon parehas na bokya, yung una kong girlfriend nag-cheat sa akin, tapos yung pangalawa naman hindi ko talaga sure kung nag-c-cheat sa akin nung kami pa or guni-guni ko lang, kapag nasa isang relationship kasi ako 100% ng trust ko ibinibigay ko, so every time na nakikipag hangout s'ya sa friends n'ya (babae man or lalake) pinapayagan ko kaso nung tumagal-tagal na hindi na siya nagpapaalam sa akin kapag makikipag hangout or may pupuntahan siyang lugar kasama yung isang friend niya na lalaki, magpapaalam na lang siya kapag yari na silang pumunta or kumain sa isang lugar, okay naman sa'kin kaso bakit kailangan n'ya pa magpaalam after nila mayari yung lakad nila hindi ba pwede before sila pumunta?
Tapos ang masakit pa minsan niya lang ako i-post dati pero tuwing lalabas sila ng friend(lalaki) n'ya na yun palaging nasa posts niya sa social media, pero dahil nga may tiwala ako sa kanya hinahayaan ko na lang, kaso dumating yung point na napagod na talaga ako kasi palagi na lang ganon ang nangyayari hindi ko naman siya kine-question sa bagay na yon kasi ayaw ko ng away, yon hindi ko siya kinausap ng 3 days kaso ang problema hindi niya manlang tinanong kung bakit hindi ko siya hindi pinansin ng 3 days tapos ang malala pa sa loob ng 3 days na yon lahat ng post niya sa social media kasama niya yung guy friend niya na yun.
Tuluyan ko na siyang hindi kinausap hanggang sa umabot ng 1 week and half nag chat siya sa'kin sabi niya itigil na raw namin kung anong meron sa amin and then I said yes.
After 3 weeks naka move on na ako at pansin ko mas naging magaan at mas naging mas masaya yung life ko, I can sleep now without overthinking and wala na akong iniintinding i-update maya't-maya, then after 3 months I receive a message from her, she's asking me kung kumusta na ba ako, kumusta life ko etc. then I said it is so much better when I'm on my own then after that we never talk to each other again, its been 4 years or 3 years and half, I'm still single and saka pala nung nag hiwalay kami after ilang days naging sila nung guy friend niya pero yon failed din kasi nag cheat sa kanya yung guy friend niya na yun, hindi naman ako galit sa kanya(ex ko) I just want to share my story with y'all.

2023.06.03 19:01 charliesensei3 I realized being a good interviewee is an another skill

I am currently finding a job right now. Naisip ko na kailangan ko na talaga ng income. Magiging matagal pa kasi yung pag-aaral ko ng web development. I need something that can fund my weekend social activites and to kinda enjoy my 20s. Nahihiya na rin akong umasa ng allowance sa parents ko kahit I'm working in our small business. Kaya ito, I applied to schools and one VA company.
Kakatapos ko lang ng interview with this VA company. It is a popular one. Something related to owls, wisdom and Annabeth Chase. I'm fortunate kasi very chill and interviewer sakin. I'm impressed sa speaking skills niya. Halatang BPO veteran siya. The interviewer's questions we're quite easy naman kasi it's all related to on how I problem solve my tasks in my previous work experiences. Feeling ko naman hindi ako kinakalaban. Fair siya.
When I asked the interviewer kung kamusta ako as an interviewee sinabi niya na ang pros ko kay approachable and friendly ako. But things to improve are confidence and organization of thought.
Aminado ako na kinabahan ako kasi I got intimidated a bit with their good reputation and first time ko mag-apply for an international corporate company. Academe was only my field back then. So, even if I did my research, kinabahan pa rin ako. I didn't stutter pero looking back, tama nga sinabi ng interviewer na I need to be more organized sa thoughts ko when speaking in English. I am usually more confident when I teach in class and when I write. But, when it comes to high-stakes situtations like interviews, nahihirapan akong i-kalma ang sarili ko.
Heck, even I questioned my writing skills ko kung good enough pa ba. I even hestitate to write this post in full English eh. Pero dapat practice lang ako everyday.
Sa interviews ko with schools, okay lang din naman. Mas naka-cope up ako kasi may freedom to speak Taglish and face to face meeting. Plus, home court ko naman siya. Pansin nga nga mga HR interviewers sakin, either excited or masayahin ako lagi. I duno if that's really it or I'm nervous talaga.
I am also seriously also questioning my English skills. It also didn't help the fact that I'm a BSEd Major in English gradaute. I stagnated. Hindi pa pala sapat yung lagi akong babad sa YouTube ng mga video essays about MCU, video games, and tech. I need to write everyday. My only problem is I don't have the daily opportunity to speak English.
Akala ko growth mindset is easy. Pero kalaban ko pala ang ego ko, low self-esteem, pessimism, and impostor syndrome. Oh, comparison also. Madami akong nakikitang super competent career persons on the internet.
Kahit na sinasabi ng parents ko na they believe in my abilties at magtiwala lang kay Lord, hindi ko pa rin maiwasan magisip ng Plan B na what if sa mga inaaplyan ko, hindi talaga ako matanggap.
Enjoy ko lang daw yung ride. Wala naman daw mawawala sakin. I can only gain. KAhit hindi daw matanggap, you learned something in the process. I agree. But, I can't help but to anxious na what if walang tumanggap sakin? Iniisip ko, I guess I have to endure nalang yung pag-aaral ng web development and hone my speaking skills kund di man ako matanggap ng VA company or sa mga schools na in-applyan ko.
TL;DR I learned my strengths and weaknesses when facing interviews. I need to improve in my organization of thought and confidence. I am also seriously doubting my English skills even though I read mainly books written in English and watch YouTube content made in the West.

Feis Ile 2023 Day Eight - Ardbeg Day Recap (6/3)
That's a wrap, folks! Feis Ile 2023 has been an incredible experience, and it ended with a bang on Ardbeg's open day today.
The chosen crew for Operation Smokescreen, a free single-cask tasting panel
  • Ardbeg Committee members could enter a lottery for a free experience called "Operation Smokescreen" in the runup to the Feis. I signed us both up, and my wife won a place! Here's what she could disclose to me. During the Operation, the fortunate 50 or so fans entered an elaborately decorated mad scientist's lab, where they tried samples from five Ardbeg single casks and Ardbeg 10 at cask strength. The mad scientist in question was Gillian Macdonald, the company's master blender. Working in teams, the lucky ducks offered tasting notes on the five casks using Ardbeg 10 as a reference point. My wife guessed that the Ardbeg crew will blend these cask types to make a new expression, perhaps an upcoming Committee release.
  • This year's open day single cask release (495 pounds) was an 11.5-year-old whisky aged in a first-fill amontillado sherry cask. Even at that steep price, the line was massive, and it kept up all day, never letting up as new arrivals joined in. I saw stray bottle flippers grabbing as many as they could and then immediately leaving festival day, which is a real shame.
  • I missed Bruichladdich and Bunnahabhain days doing activities at other distilleries, but I cannot imagine anyone does it better than Ardbeg. Their day is a fitting capstone to the week because they go all out. Elaborate decorations (this year, giant green octopus tentacles hanging from the windows, and comic panels all over the walls); staff in sci-fi and superhero costumes, along with savvy guests; and by far the most activities and games of Feis week. The entry ticket was 10 pounds but was a bargain: two drams, a "smokie" (a smoked fish), a mini-glencairn glass, and a scavenger hunt-style game that could earn another dram. And the crowds were the biggest we saw all week, by far.
  • Aside from offering the whole core range and the Heavy Vapours festival bottle as those two included drams, Ardbeg also had a cash bar with very reasonable prices for rare or pricey whiskies, including Ardbeg 25 for 20 pounds and Supernova 2014 and other old Committee releases or Feis bottles for 10 pounds. The bartenders also had very heavy hands. A single pour was enough for my wife and me to split, with me filling up a 20 ml sample bottle and still having leftovers to nose and sip. There was also a fun game of chance where, for five pounds a play, we drew a surprise dram from a set of small mailbox-like lockers. The pours ranged from the standard Ardbeg 10 up to Twenty-something, Renaissance, Alligator Committee Release, 25, etc. In our three plays, we got the Heavy Vapours, 8-year-old For Discussion, and Traigh Bhan 19-year-old Batch 4. Not too bad!
  • There were tons of games and activities. One of our favorites was a comic workshop where people could draw this year's "Heavy Vapours" villains or heroes (from the Planet Ardbeg comic book series) on merchandise they purchased at the gift shop. In my wife's case, she got a free lab coat from Operation Smokescreen and later added her own hand-drawn touch to it.
The angry smokecloud residing in every bottle of Heavy Vapours
  • In contrast to other distilleries, Ardbeg festival day tastings are booked day-of. We jumped on the 1:30 tasting, led by distillery manager Colin Gordon and two employees, including Emma, our tour guide from yesterday. The tasting covered (1) new make; (2) Heavy Vapours; (3) Blaaack; (4) Supernova 2014; and (5) this year's Amontillado single cask. The price was 50 pounds, up from 40 pounds last year, and was held outside thanks to the spectacular weather. While it was nice, it was also mobbed - there must have been over 70-80 people in our tasting group. The pours were well worth the cost, although I preferred other experiences earlier in the week with smaller groups or more organization.
  • We saw the swan couple again alongside the Ardbeg pier. Throughout the week, they proved themselves more dedicated festival attendees than we were.
  • Note from last night: Lucci's Bar at the Bowmore Hotel is another iconic Islay watering hole, and Peter is an absolute encyclopedia of whisky knowledge. The bar had live music on Friday night; we left around midnight to a heartwarming rendition of Auld Lang Syne.
  • Looking back at my notes, I tried 85 whiskies in 8 days on the island, so I'm ready for a vacation from this vacation. We're heading to Skye next and will visit three more distilleries in the next week or so, but nothing like this pace (thankfully).
Farewell to another spectacular week with the best whisky-makers in the world
Ardbeg Heavy Vapours Festival Bottling - This is the 46%, slightly diluted version of the Committee Release we tried yesterday, but it's very similar. It has a dry presentation missing some of Ardbeg's brighter fruit notes, so it almost seemed to have a hole in the middle of the palate. I'm not a big fan, so I wasn't tempted by its 120-pound price tag.
Ardbeg 8 y.o. For Discussion - I'm wondering why Ardbeg would release an 8-year-old whisky, but it's hard to complain about a new, age-stated, higher ABV (50.8%) Ardbeg at a fair price of 60 pounds. This pretty much tastes like a champion's breakfast of a lemon muffin and two cigarettes. If released in America, we'd call this "Ardbeg Bottled in Bond." Good stuff.
Ardbeg Blaaack Committee Release - Alright, hello, this is different. This has lots of ripe orchard fruit, berries, and other rich flavors. On the finish, moreso than on the nose, I get a healthy dose of vanilla. Subsequent sips got more acidic and less pleasurable.
Ardbeg Supernova Committee Release 2014 - This whisky epitomizes what it means to be peaty, not smoky. This whisky is a blend of very peated barrels (or barrels that expressed that character more than normal), but the type of peat is a vegetal, floral, and earthy melange, not the ashy smoke typical of Ardbegs. It's surprisingly mellow on the palate, and on one particularly good sip, there were hints of Boston cream donut on the finish.
Ardbeg 11 y.o. Amontillado Single Cask Feis Ile 2023 - In watches, one way to distinguish between quartz watches and mechanicals (which are more of a luxury item) is by the movement of the seconds hand. Quartz watches tick, while mechanicals have a sweeping, smooth motion. But some super-high-end mechanical watchmakers include a feature called a "dead-beat" seconds hand, which ticks like a quartz watch. So for an extra $10,000 or $20,000, that feature makes a very expensive luxury watch look, in one way, like a regular quartz. That wasn't just random wristwatch trivia, folks; it was a very long metaphor for the fact that this single cask tastes a lot like my favorite bourbon, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. It has a very oaky but sweet nose, and then a mix of fruit, brown sugar, and more charred wood on the palate before wrapping up with a dried-fruit-and-oak finish. On the one hand, I love every part on it. On the other hand, why would I pay $620 for a scotch that tastes like my favorite $80-100 bourbon? This is the dead-beats seconds hand of the scotch market.
Ardbeg Traigh Bhan Batch 4 - I started getting palate exhaustion by this point. This dram seemed very subtle and balanced, especially in this day and age when almost all Ardbegs are well under 10 years old. The dried glass surprised me with a distinct deli ham note when we got home from festival day. This is a savory Ardbeg, and pretty different than the original Traigh Bhan from 2019.
Ardbeg 10 Cask Strength - OK, one quick pour at home, just to confirm this is as good as I would expect. It is. The "soot and fruit" core character of Ardbeg shines through. Yesterday, I almost asked our tour guide yesterday whether Ardbeg would ever consider doing a 10 at cask strength, since Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength is my favorite series of whiskies. After tasting this, I am holding out hope. Delicious.
And some stray notes from the Bowmore Hotel last night ...
Bowmore Vault Edition No. 2 Peat Smoke - It's so funny, this dram was supposed to highlight the peaty/smoky side of Bowmore's moderately peated spirit. Instead, it hit me with the clearest, most powerful prune note I've ever gotten in a whisky. Not the most complex, but a delightful surprise.
Kilchoman STR Cask 2019 - STR is an experimental cask finish involving shaving, toasting, and recharring (hence, S-T-R) old wine casks to mature whisky. Based on this one, I'm not the biggest fan. Like a dried-out bourbon that had its sweet notes sucked out of its nose before mummification.
Arrrrrrrdbeg! - This pour was pretty pricey, but damned if it isn't worth it. The nose is minty and features starfruit, anise, and mukhwas, with more of those fresh fruit and spice characteristics on the palate, along with a balanced dose of cigar smoke peatiness. A mellow and self-assured Ardbeg, and a fitting tribute to longtime distillery manager Mickey Heads.
Bunnahabhain 12 Cask Strength 2022 ed. - Aberlour A'bunadh is like the Two Face of whiskies for me; half is amazing, but half is harsh and hot (even though we mostly drink cask-strength whisky). This dram is the good half of A'bunadh: spiced cider, sultanas and trail mix dried fruits, cocoa powder, all in a rich and syrupy whisky.
The complete week's recaps are here:
Day One, Lagavulin
Day Two, Bruichladdich - but we skipped and did Bunnahabhain
Day Three, Caol Ila
Day Four, Laphroaig
Day Five, Bowmore and Ardnahoe
Bonus notes from Days One through Five
Day Six, Kilchoman
Day Seven - Bunnahabhain Day, but we did Lagavulin and Ardbeg warehouse tastings
Slainte all, and thanks for reading! I plan to do two followup posts. Tomorrow, I'll compile a "best of the week" list to recognize which distilleries did which parts of the week well, and then I'll do a writeup in the next few weeks with some booking and logistics advice, if people are interested.

2023.06.03 18:16 thefamemonster_ where can i find output-based online jobs?

Can yall recommend online jobs na output based. Been applying to god knows how many posts na sa OLJ and Upwork but it’s still ZERO for me. Currently a student so mahirap if work na may set schedule. Though okay lang rin naman if may alam kayo. I’m desperate at this point, naghihikahos na ako, I can’t go back sa BPO din naman because of F2F classes. The bills are due, rent needs to be paid. And I dont wanna be broke as fuck.
Tangina pa rin ng Cyberbacker. 4 times na ako nag apply pasok naman lahat ng qualifications ko wala pa rin. Puta

2023.06.03 18:04 Rough-Order700 CPA NA AKO pero..

CPA na ako pero ngayon yung celebration ng pagkapasa ko at sinabihan ako ng, "Sana di ka na lang nakapasa" at mayabang ng nanay ko. Dahil lang ginabi na ng dating yung mga bisita ko kasi galing work pa. Pero alam kong dahil di sila sanay sa bisita at 5am pa nga daw gising na siya gusto na matulog. Pero pinili naming maghanda at icelebrate e. Siya pa nga nagpush na gawin to. Nung isang araw nga, nagtalo pa kami kasi nagrereklamo naman na siya na nakakastress na naman daw. Tapos nakipagtalo pa sa akin kaya nasbai ko na lang, edi wag na tayo maghanda. Pero kinabukasan nagingnokay naman kami agad. Ang kaso lang ganito naman nangyari. Kaya umuwi na yung batch ng maiingay ko na friends nun, tapos yung natirang batch, pinarinig pa rin na magligpit na daw ako na pauwiin na. Eh kararating lang kadi galing pa sa malayong byahe. Kaya nasagot ko na nang pabalang na, "maglilinis maman talaga ako dyan, wait lang may katawagan yung isa hihintayin lang, pwede ka naman na matulog e. lilinisin ko naman talaga yan." tapos sinabiban na ako ng "mayabang" na sana di na nakapasa ng CPALE. sa totoo lang, ako yung anak na di kayang hindi magbibigay sa magulang. binabalak ko na nga agad bibigay ko na agad majority ng sahod ko sa kanila una palang. na kahit tipirin ko na sarili ko, basta unahin ko sila. pero yung sabihan ako ng ganyan.
ang toxic kasi. ang hirap. sa bisita ko pa pinapakita yung attitude na ganun na umuwi na kayo. di naman ako nagalit nung sumagot ako.
ang tanong ko lang, magwork na lang na ako agad para di na magdeal sa ganito? 😭😭😭 alam ko nadala na lang rin siya ng pagod. pero ang sakit marinig yung ganun. 😞 Naisip ko nga rin na mawala na lang para wala na silang problema na may mayabang silang anak kahit hindi naman. Ang sakit. Dati pa ako nagbibigay kapag may scholar ako, lagi ko silang binibigyan. Pero yung ganito na sabihan na lumayas na rin daw ako, at mayabang ako na sana di na ako nakapasa. ang sakit sakit 😭
Sorry sobrang haba ng post. Ang sakit kasi. Habang sinusulat ko to, nasa labas lang ako. Sa garahe. Ang lamig na pero ayaw ko pa pumasok kasi ang sakit.

2023.06.03 17:32 krush217 Healthcare workers ng Pinas, anong mental hygiene routine niyo?

(I initially posted this on the PH career subreddit but the bots took it down so here I am)
Hello!
Kakastart ko lang mag-work as HCW last week. Mahirap yung trabaho pero keri pa naman. Napapansin ko na may times na hindi maalis sa utak ko yung trabaho even after duty. Maybe it's like a mini-anxiety na gawan ng summary lahat ng natutunan ko sa work and to prepare myself in handling toxic patients and workloads. Ok pa naman ako now pero if ganyan ang habit ko, baka ma-burn out agad ako.
Ano po ba mga mental hygiene routines niyo para makapagpahinga na yung utak after duty? How do you separate personal life and work mentally?
Thank you in advance!

2023.06.03 17:13 Pristine-Crew-2178 I want opinions from people on their choices they made.

Hey so I'm new here and currently in the process of saving for a home myself. I wanted to post here to get an idea of several things from anyone wiling to help me as I'm new to this process and trying to read up all I can so I come prepared on what to look out for when talking to realtors or getting mortgage loans. Stating off I'll give basic information about my case. I have a credit score of 817 and plan to save up for a 20% down for the next 2 or 3 years.
Starting off Is it cheaper to build over buying? I've seen people talk both ways and I can see areas of saving cost on building but overall I don't think the big saves are going to be that big? Instead I see it as more work but you get the perfect house outright.
If I plan to buy, where did you get your loan and what was the % interest? What is the average I should be looking for these days so I know what's considered high and what's considered low. Is it a good idea to buy these days or should I wait a bit in your opinion? I'm planning to buy in maybe 2 or 3 years but I'm changing jobs soon and the pay will be much better where I could end up getting money for a downpayment sooner.
If I build a home, what is your recommended route to get the process done? I have not looked into anything on the process of building but it has interested me in the idea of making my own home the way I want.
If this helps anyone answer more questions here is extra information. I plan to either have a home in lower PA, upper MD, or Florida, specifically north west Orlando area. Ideally I would want 1 Acre plot of land with a nice home that's maybe 2 or 3 bedrooms 2 bathroom for possible future kids.
Any and all information is helpful. I thank anyone for not criticizing as I and super new to this and sadly I've spent the better part of my life studying for my job and have zero knowledge about home buying which has me worried of making a bad choice and ending up with a big monthly payment.

2023.06.03 16:53 spiiiashes Can landlords legally decide to rent to “students only”?

This is not a situation directly affecting me, I’m asking out of curiosity.
There has been a lot of drama in my post graduate area regarding landlords in the area that decide to rent to professional school students only (medical, PA, law, etc). This includes undergraduate students as well occasionally. Some of the people have argued that this is illegal and counts as discrimination since the landlords won’t rent to “non-students”, just curious if that’s true?
Tacking onto that another question I have is, if a landlord decides to advertise their housing as “quiet” or “study friendly”, are they legally allowed to refuse to rent to for example a couple with a newborn that might cause more noise? I know familial status I believe is included as discrimination so this would be illegal right?
This is in TN/VA/KY if that information is relevant. Thanks to anyone who responds! Again, this isn’t a situation directly affecting me rather I’m just curious.
