I did this for years. As soon as I was a few weeks out I'd get a letter in the mail with a discount, like clockwork, begging me to return. Only had to rotate between 3 for infinite cheap meals.
@Eric_Erins In Willis tower they're telling us to relocate to the interior until 11:15 so we're all chilling on the elevator bank with our laptops. I wish I could see the windows though I wanted to see the storm lol
@KernEgan@Chahee@jos3_avila@Johnyalamo I love that idea! I tried putting together a visualization to see which areas pop which times of the year here it is for Dallas and Philly. It's a but muddled, I'll try to clean it up and make it more legible if I get some time today
@KernEgan@Chahee@jos3_avila@Johnyalamo I posted Dallas above, but here it is again!
Putting this together makes me wonder what other breakdowns would be interesting to see? Plotting the locations of pictures taken by various ages? or gender? at different times of day?
@KernEgan@Chahee@jos3_avila@Johnyalamo I vibe coded it with 5.6 sol because I was curious how it look if updated. I could clean up the code and share but I can generate any US or non-US city for you!
The main limitation is that it uses public Flickr pics. I'd love Google maps instead but the API makes it way harder
@amanitahalo@sam_d_1995 I tried making an updated version of the map using the same method and the pattern roughly looks the same. Though, I think this shows a little more activity out in the boroughs
@_NickMorrison@ArfinNathaniel I attempted making an updated version of this map using more recent data. It looks like the east end is doing slightly better but not as much as I would have hoped
I love it when you see a beautiful sight that your iPhone camera totally fails to capture. A rift in the clouds, a huge yellow moon. You pull out your phone and it’s like, nope: this one is just for you.
This beautifully captures something I aim to achieve in life. To unlock the infinite detail in the world around us through learning and observation.
I will see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wildflower.
@simonsarris Perhaps a single emoji to give a sense of vibes. Though that's quite restrictive, maybe 12 characters would do. Limitation breeds creativity.
I am absolutely libbing out today
-NYC: Zohran wins, housing ballot measures pass in landslide
-NJ: Sherrill wins by 13 points!
-VA: Spanberger wins by 15%, Dems flip >10 seats
-CA: Prop 50 passes by 30%
-PA: Dem judges win by >20%
-GA: Dem commissioners both win by >20%
The older I get, the more I appreciate seasons and the constant change of the world around me. Dark winter evenings make us appreciate late summer sunsets. The fleeting beauty of the autumn leaves and spring flowers make them special. How lucky are we to experience time going by.
You need to be surrounding yourself with soft lights, you need to be barely able to see after the sun goes down, you need to feel like you are walking through a maze of soft yellow and black, you need to be living your late nights in a dream before you even sleep.
You need to be side quest maxxing. Get your pilots license. Get scuba certified. Go sky diving. Get your coastal cruising certificate. Become a sommelier. Get every niche / pointless certificate & license you can.
@cshimala can anyone explain the alternating bright/colorful and dark pattern in the clouds today? How could the sunlight only reflect off of certain clouds? it's extremely beautiful but almost looks like an optical illusion.
