Look what I found earlier. Was laughing to myself when I saw it
Meron ka na starting part to build your own submersible.
Basta wag lang carbon fiber ang gamitin

Bagong DLC ng Barotrauma.
Mga hinde dadalhin sa sisiran. *kindat kindat
Kasi gago, mamamatay kayo.
The redesign to end all redesigns.
This logo is way ahead of its time. The “new” one is so pretentious.
This has got me curious though: Who designed all our government’s OG logos?
This + Department of Agriculture, DSWD, and DOST.
These logos were really good.
They should have hired whoever made the DICT logo to do PAGCOR’s rebranding.
BFAR is another good one.
Holy shit! Tignan mo kaya pala ng gobyerno natin e. More accountability and exacting standards sana. Kudos to the design teams behind this.
Ngayon ko lang nakita yung bagong logo ng BFAR
Swerte nila wala pa social media when this was launched. It looks like something I’d see on a missalette.
But this is still way better than that 3 million dreck.
Perfect weather for gaming all day!
Gusto ko bumili ng Diablo IV. Bwisit na bwisit na ako laruin Tsushima. Ayoko ng open world exploration, I just want a linear plot/goal!
Ayoko ng Open World exploration.
I installed a mod way back sa GTA V that could make pedestrians fight/shoot each other like in San Andreas. Took me about 6 months to be motivated enough to continue the main storyline kasi I had another objective of my own:
So yeah pag wala akong strong incentive to continue the storyline. I tear shit up instead lol
late…
One of my kratky tomatoes died because I left it outside my overcrowded greenhouse. It filled up with rainwater and drowned 🙃
It didn’t bear fruit anyways (none of my tomatoes have fruit so far - probably because of the heat, or I don’t have the right nutrients), so it’s not that big of a loss, but I should get a bigger greenhouse built.
Nagbalik loob na nga ako sa swimming pool dahil kailangan ko magpractice eh di ko naman kaya mag dagat everyday lol. Nainom ko agad yung tubig kasi walang lasa 💀 at least sa seawater maalat diba? Hahahaha
I got a few laps in, enough to be considered as a cardiovascular exercise. Honestly, the ocean is so much more fun. Sa pool there’s nothing much to look at except the guy with a swimmer’s body on the other lane. That guy swims. That stamina chef’s kiss. 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ parang gusto ko manood ng Free! tuloy HAHAHA
Like, if I was in the ocean I don’t even think I’d notice such stuff kasi iba yung focus ko. I’d be oohing and aahing at the corals, the fishes, the waves, the ocean floor, etc. Seriously.
I wanna see a picture of that stamina ☺️
Ocean > Pools. Totally agree. Sure, maganda ang facilities, but sobrang artificial tignan, and the scenery is just meh.
Sa ocean, you’d want to swim as long as you can, especially pag maganda ung view. Just thinking about the ocean makes me miss it.
Wag muna maligo today, ang lamig eh >.<
Agree po hahaha
Maligo ka! Minsan lang makakatikim ng malamig na tubig.
Almost halfway through July na agad
Ilang kembot na lang din “ber” months na ulit.
Mga JMC jokes dito bannable offense, ha? 😂
…Pero hindi pa rin tapos ang flyover sa Molino?
Q2 Tax na naman!
Just one more day weekend na. Perfect Baguio weather.
landslide na weather na ba sa baguio?
Uu din haha, Kennon Road was closed the other week. Open now tho.
1 more day 😖
Now I can drive without license…

Kasi may digital ID na sa phone ko. Two government-issued digital IDs are enough.
Sana all EU citizen.
The European Council has officially declared that all battery-powered equipment must have removable, easily-replaced batteries by 2027.
The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement. This is an important provision for consumers.
Fuck yeah EU.
Android Authority article can be found here.
Hope a similar bill gets passed here. I’d love to go back to the days where I can keep my phone for a bit longer by giving it a new battery. Limited na nga mga firmware updates e, at least let us have this. Also, mga Samsung users can sort of have their worries eased when faced with a swollen battery.
Because EU, we cannot reverse some accidental Google Street View captures. Someone blurred my relatives’ property at hirap ibenta hanggang ngayon. Outdated na Street View capture nila (2018 pa, at 5 years later dami ng pagbago sa paligid). Not all times EU is right, though. Google cannot reverse it (of course they can, but they will risk lobbying at EU, again).
A sideways, though, but okay…
I wish that replaceable batteries on smartphones make a comeback. Because of this, nagtagal ang first Android phone ko (Samsung Galaxy Mini) ng anim na taon. Phones with non-replaceable batteries forcing us to buy new one.
I wish that replaceable batteries on smartphones make a comeback.
I hope so too. Mas convenient mag baon ng maninipis na Anker li-ion batteries na isasalpak mo lang and have a fully charged phone kaysa sa powerbank.
Thank goodness. Gagamit lang ako ng phone outside kapag may chat and email notifications. Kinabukasan pa icha-charge ulit.
Oof. GDPR related to no? Definitely EU is not the whole paradise one thinks it should be.
I agree though, replaceable batteries and siguro right to repair. Then again I think ok naman yung right to repair seeing as there are quite a good number of phone repair shops. I just hope this country doesn’t take the US route and gouge consumers’ eyes out with exhorbitant fees at an authorized repair center.
Yeah. Many Google Maps users complain this feature, even from EU and N.A.
And now EU, may balak na mag-scan ng chats kahit sa mga privacy-focused services.
10 years ago, I had a Zerolemon battery attached to my phone and it allowed me to last 3 days without a charge. No need to lug around powerbanks or wait for your phone to charge before you touch it again.
Would be awesome to have those times back with the current phones that can’t seem to hold a full charge for more than half the day.
Totoo. Now we have a phone, cable, AND a chonky powerbank we need to bring around and this gets worse as wear and tear gets to your phone unit as the years go by. Maganda rin ung option for other branded battery packs (provided they prove their worth).
I do hope they also give the consumer leeway in the future for right to firmware updates (which is unlikely given the potential of lost profits), but a man can dream.
mamamatay ba to dito kung hahayaan ko lang siya jan HAHAHA
Magugutom po sya 😢
buhay pa. alive and kicking. we’ll see. HAHA siguro 1 week na siya diyan so far
Hey guys! Can anyone give me suggestions for an activity for a date? For some context we’re already in a relationship and I’m running out of an ideas for a date. 😅
Beach dates? High-end? Bar dates? Picnic? Museum?
Me, at 10am: Buti na lang wala akong bebe, di ko problema ung mga ganyan 🙂🤡
Me, at 10pm: bebu, kelan ka ba darating sa bohai ko 🥲🥹
HAHAHHAHA 🥲
Please do note that some of these options have a bit of a high price point.
Workshop type dates:
I Did It Myself Bakery sa may Megamall. Basically you both can make a cake from scratch in their kitchen. I do believe they accept walk-ins, but not sure on this.
BakeBePH sa may SM Aura/BGC area. Same concept as IDIMB above, but in BGC area.
Sip and Gogh - you paint, and you can drink wine while you’re painting as a couple. Can’t see anything wrong with that lmao.
Wood Academy and Craft MNL- woodworking workshops (bit pricey)
Tahanan Pottery and Wabi Sabi Studio - If you want to get your Patrick Swayze rizz on (wink), pottery classes are the way to go. I believe there are more pottery studios.
More Physical/Movement oriented dates:
If you have time to plan ahead, why not try doing a walking tour around manila, preferably with this guide - a bit pricey sa shopee, but it’s a nice plan that you can follow either to the letter, or have happy little couple moments along the way.
Kornets ng mayayaman 😅
Ang corny na, ang cheesy pa.
WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes will blow Hollywood businesses and studio productions. Damn it!
And for the right reasons. The only ones that could be negatively affected are the other support jobs related to Hollywood productions.
Writers should at least get a fair share of the residuals (iirc residuals are profits from streaming services). South Park, late night shows, Daily Show, Mad TV, and SNL are few examples of how huge an impact a good writing team can have on a show, and I’m still only talking about comedy.
Imagine all of your favorite series’ going the route of GoT’s last season. That’s what will happen when you remove humanity out of the equation for writing a show. Though, tbf, the writers were still human, just were not perceptive enough at the consequences of rushing the storyline at the time of the last season.
I’m guessing all big production companies are going long on AI, thinking that although writing will be terrible, it will learn and improve in the future. At least, that is my (wild) speculation.
AI may be perfect but it ain’t human, and human is just how I like my shows to be.
They seem to really want to double down on AI. They apparently even thought that they should be allowed to scan filming extras and use their likeness for current and future projects, all for one day’s pay.
A-list actors might want to show solidarity on the side of the Writers’ Guild, because as soon as writing goes AI, it’s quite possible that so will they as an actors. Iirc medyo murky pa ang legal stuff for deepfakes, so yeah.
Imagine, AI adapting Chris Nolan’s or Quentin Tarantino’s or Paul Thomas Anderson’s filmography. lol
Dude, these protests affecting my ghostwriting. Current AI tools can’t write and replicate emotions, man. Seeing the Apple TV’s “Ghosted” is evidently clear that no one was writing. These corporates want to make their contents as cheap as possible and dump them into streaming services.
eyes on Netflix, Disney and Prime Video
Main argument nung sa writer’s strike is that writers are not getting their rightful share of the profit. Moreso with the widespread plan to adopt AI to further reduce the perceived costs on hiring actual writers. Writers want AI out of the production. It’s affecting you now, but it’s going to make everything shitty in the next coming years if it’s not opposed. That includes the need to hire ghost writers.
This was discussed by my contacts a month before WGA strike begun. Until now, I can’t still reach them, either email or Teams.
