So I’ve been training this neural network to generate cookbook recipes by letting it look at tens of thousands of existing recipes.
The generated titles can get a bit odd.
There’s a creativity variable I can set when the network is generating new recipes, and when I set it low, it comes up with its best guess at the most quintessential recipe titles:
Cream Cheese Soup
Cream Of Sour Cream Cheese Soup
Chocolate Cake (Chocolate Cake)
Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake
Chocolate Chicken Chicken Cake
Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake
Chocolate Chips
Chocolate Chips With Chocolate ChipsWhen I tell it to get creative, things get even weirder.
Beef Soup With Swamp Peef And Cheese
Chocolate Chops & Chocolate Chips
Crimm Grunk Garlic Cleas
Beasy Mist
Export Bean Spoons In Pie-Shell, Top If Spoon and Whip The Mustard
Chocolate Pickle Sauce
Whole Chicken Cookies
Salmon Beef Style Chicken Bottom

Cover Meats
Out Of Meat
Completely Meat Circle
Completely Meat Chocolate Pie
Cabbage Pot Cookies
Artichoke Gelatin Dogs

There are tears in my eyes
this little computer is trying so hard to understand
I’m doing an occasionally thing where I buy and eat random microwavable frozen food just for reasons.
I went searching on my blog to find my XIX post, but it turns out that I accidentally titled it XIV and it’s been like for a year. Oops :V
But yeah, XX. I’m 20 now.
What the fuck.
Art folder update!
Spread across three locations, I now have 75.33 GB of art files, in both paper scans and digital files.
22.65 GB of those is Post Crusade.
I know I’m on Tumblr because it’s only on this site where I can see a long post calling out the laundry detergent industry.
@post-cactusthis man next to me is on the phone and he went “are you fucking kidding me right now? are you serious?” then he got up and stood next to a cactus and went “im by my favorite cactus right now, and you’re disrespecting me like this?”
Plant horse more like trojan horse.
Here to gain your trust and sneak in your back patio door. Stealing all your metadata houseplant data and selling them to shady herbicide contractors.

Honestly microsoft is just gonna send you a new one- that’s what they did when my surface cracked. Payed the $450 for ‘repairs’ and then like a week later BOOP HERE’S A NEW ONE
I figured, haha!
And honestly, this situation is just weird because me and dad did sort of rush to find a replacement.
The day it broke (which was Thursday), we immediately bought the replacement under the assumption that the thing was dead and he had it sent to me over the weekend.
What we ended up getting was a discounted surface pro 4. Again, we really thought the SP3 was a goner and that sending it to MS would take too long. And I loved the surface and didn’t want to let go ;2;
Awkwardly, I did manage to get the SP3 working again by miraculously disabling the touch screen drivers (keyboard navigation for the win!). So as a regular ol’ laptop, the thing works just fine.
So now I have two Surfaces, one in much better condition than the other, but both working.
And I seriously don’t know what to do? Do I keep the new one and sell the old one because upgrades are nice? Return the new one and keep the old one or send it to get MS-replaced because the upgrade is pointless? Dad says he’s okay with any option and I feel bad for having him spend so much ;n;

How much would repairs cost?
Microsoft wants $450 for sending the machine to them so they can “repair it.” It’ll probably take a good while, and I need that thing for school so it’s not exactly a viable option until after the semester ends. And I’m fairly certain that the cracks will only get worse and become a hazard.
Fortunately, it’s not a dire situation. I already received a replacement laptop (thanks dad), so there’s no emergency anymore. But it makes things a little complicated because now I don’t know if I’m just gonna keep the replacement and sell the SP3 or if I’m gonna return the replacement and send the SP3 for repairs.
Nyeh.
@barontristan replied to your post “@youobviouslyloveoctavia replied to your post “Who wants a Surface…”
Any hope for repair?
Surfaces are a bitch to repair yourself, not to mention ridiculously expensive as those screens seem to be specially engineered. There is no way that I’ll be able to do it with confidence.
The other option is to find a tech who can do it. Or send it to Microsoft. Again, that’ll probably cost a boatload of money.
We’ll see. For now, it’ll probably be up for sale as-is and for parts.
Wait, does pen input still work?
Sssssorta. :T
See that big crack? Pen input still works under it, but not over it.
Who wants a Surface Pro 3 with a cracked screen that renders the touchscreen completely useless?
Suddenly, I think I’m more involved in college basketball than I thought.
If your flick a Sweetie Belle by the horn, it’ll make a ringing noise.
Spread the word.

I got a good half year on you with two blogs and they ain’t endin’ soon. :v
Second goal: Eliminate the competition
Man, I’m so glad that I managed to get Post Crusade to a level where I just never want to let go of it. I have this continuous drive to be working on it, whether it’s silently writing behind the scenes, or actually drawing it when I have the time.
Which means there’s only one goal left to attain.

It’s plaaaaaaaaanthorse
Speaking of IRL friends, here’s a shower thought.
If you meet your online friends, do they then become IRL friends? Or do you have to meet them a certain number of times? Or maybe there’s some regular meeting pattern that has to be established?
I want to start discourse but I don’t know how.
Casual reminder that I have a Patreon thing that helps me pay for food and emergency stuff and various university costs.
If y’all like what I do and would like to see more, consider dropping a little support and all that jazz. I even post behind the scenes stuff every so often!

Ever wanted to wring your mom’s neck because of how unbelievably dense she’s being?
My brother is becoming more and more depressed and disengaged at school and it’s finally culminating in a family meeting with counselors and social workers, and the bitch won’t shut the fuck up about missing homework.
Homework this, homework that, “you keep lying and not doing homework”, “I think you’re just on your phone too much”, “you don’t respect me so how can I help you”, “you’re failing yourself and me”. The same ol’ abuse-lite that I’ve been hearing so much of lately.
Not even telling her in her face that the counselor said that he’s seriously depressed and you need to stop did anything.
Fucking shook her head in denial and went back to blaming everything but her.
I’m just speechless.
Pro-communism versus vicious anti-communism continues to be the defining feature of my Dashboard 2017
