✨🎂!!! BIRTHDAY CAT !!!🎂✨ Meow Meow! 4 years ago,... while at a low point in my life, I was dragged to my very first furry convention against my will. I was completely out of my element and weirded out by this strange fandom. But I opened up to it, and fell in love with it that night. A few days later, on my Birthday, an amazing friend helped me come up with Astra's first Ref sheet and the Galaxy Gato you know was born! Happy 4th birthday to this feline, and the 29 year old human as well ❤️ Massive thank you to LightOfSolaris 🔜 AWO for helping me film and being an amazing doggo!show more

The past six months have been some of the... most special in my life. 1.Ambrus was named Volatility Hedge Fund of the Year by HFM along with winning two other awards from HedgeWeek and HedgeFundJournal. 2.We got a few new great investors and were backed by a multi-strategy hedge fund that truly shares our philosophy around trading volatility. 3.We’re now approaching our soft close period, which is estimated to bring our AUM to roughly a little over half a billion. I share this not really as a milestone from the stance of someone who started a hedge fund team half a decade ago, but as a testimony to God’s goodness and faithfulness in my journey. I just want everyone to know that this is all to his Glory. I hope you find your passion and allow God to lead you into your calling with grace and favor. I love this game and wouldn’t change a thing about my journey in it.show more

Back in January 2025 when I moved into my... new home, I found Biscuit. He was being chased by dogs, and I took him in. Biscuit and I instantly bonded. He rode with me in my truck. He would chill on my shoulders when I walked around the house. He slept with me. He was truly my friend. When I posted about Biscuit when I found him, everybody loved him. He's was truly a unique cat. I didn't post about what happened to him, because it took me a long time to process. One day, earlier this year, Biscuit got out and was hit by a car. We never found out who did it. I was the one who found him. All I could do was bury him and mourn him. I've been around a lot of animals in my life. I love them, and I'll protect them at all costs. But I'll never get over losing Biscuit. Ever. The first pic is Biscuit when I found him. The others are when he settled in and I got him cleaned up. I miss you, buddy. I really do. Vale, Biscuit. Until I see you again.show more

Distressing content that breaks my heart! BULLYING! 😡😡 Being... a kid that was bullied at home by a parent, at junior school and down the park which was basically my whole life for a time, I feel I can speak on this subject. This is temporary, I always knew it was and I hope all that are going through this know this. I was lucky as I got to 6ft 1 at 12, my dad had left when I was 11 so that was over and suddenly I grew my wings and fought the older bullies back. I only extracted revenge on the few horrible ones who hurt all of us younger lot which was their way of simply masking their own weakness but it was glorious.❤️ I hope all kids and adults being bullied experience that euphoric moment when it’s over, it makes sure you never bully anyone yourself going forward. Don’t ever let weak bullies win. 🙏show more

Multiple Casualties Reported in Marsabit Attack An attack took... place along the Eledimtu-Forole Road in Marsabit County just a few kilometres from the Ethiopian border late last night. A lorry carrying nine passengers was ambushed by an armed group, leading to the tragic deaths of seven people who included two minors from a local secondary school. The attackers shot at the vehicle indiscriminately, before setting it ablaze and burning some of the bodies beyond recognition. The sixth victim reportedly succumbed to bullet wounds in a nearby thicket. Among the passengers, one boy was found this morning with a fractured limb, while another person sustained burn wounds but managed to reach Forole for help. The only other survivor, a girl in Form One, miraculously escaped unhurt and fled into the night. The tragic incident was reported to Forolle Police Station by a 16-year-old survivor Talaso Wato. According to locals, the suspects behind this heinous act could be remnants of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), hostile Borana neighbours or even Ethiopian police officers — a possibility linked to tensions over the OLF militants believed to be harboured in Kenya. The attack occurred at around 9:00 PM. The lorry, a Mitsubishi with registration number KBV 474Y was driven by Ibrahim Jalla who like six other passengers, remains unaccounted for in the aftermath of the brutal assault.

My experience as a Defenders fan going to STL... America's Center & The Dome for an away game. This was a solo trip, did not bring my family on this one. The St. Louis Battlehawks home games truly are one of the special environments for United Football League. I’ve been to 4 AWAY games for DC Defenders over the last 12 months and the environment for this one was fired up! They definitely should NOT move STL to a soccer stadium if they keep showing out like they did yesterday. I got to my hotel at 1AM on game day after a late flight from the west coast. I woke up 6 hours later, walked towards the stadium and randomly caught the STL player walk-ins. Then, I walked over to the tailgate and met up with The Bottom Line and enjoyed some mimosas and breakfast burritos with Ed Ploeger and his gang. Thanks for the hospitality! I was able to get him a signed Sam Kidd jersey as a thanks for all he does for the UFL community! After the tailgate, got in for gate drop at 0930, and went straight down to the field. I was able to say hi to a few players and talk with Steven McCrane as his son was nailing 50+ yard field goals with ease. Chatted up and made peace with a few STL fans around me. Once the game started, they had the place LOUD, and my watch kept alerting me that my hearing was getting damaged 🤣 . Being there for the first ever 4 point field goal by Matt McCrane made the travel worth it. After the home fans had a few rounds of beers, the heckling began (which was expected), but I had to pop about 6 beach balls/🎈 as I became the 🎯 for drunk fans as the only DC fan in the section. I tossed the balls back a few times until I immediately got hit with about 3 balls in a row. So that part was a bit of a let down, as I was just trying to enjoy a game. The halftime show was great. Overall, the game experience itself left something to be desired with the penalties and getting harassed by fans who were clearly recording trying to get rage bait engagement on 🎥. Probably won’t be going back to a STL game again, but I’m glad got to check it out! Pregame/Tailgate: 5/5 Halftime: 5/5 Game experience: 3/5 Getting to/from stadium: 5/5show more

While learning Unreal Engine 5, I decided to port... over most of Hyperion to it to see if I could potentially move my workflows over to UE5. Although it worked decently well, it didn't work well enough to allow me to change over entirely. Hyperion is simply too complex of an asset for real-time workflows (or at least is limited due to my knowledge of said workflows). 131 4K-8K UDIMs at over 8 channels and a solid amount of shaders with layering being the biggest bottleneck. I couldn't even match the shading setup to what I have in RenderMan, UE gave me a warning that the material was too complex. I was using the new Substrate materials, which mimic RenderMan LAMA shaders. The render below is using the pathtracer. As you can see there are some random flickering parts which I couldn't fix during my tests. This render of course doesn't have any displacement either (which Hyperion heavily relies on). I think Unreal Engine has a very bright future, but it is still limited by todays hardware technology for high end VFX work. Maybe in a few years I will give it another try when hardware improves and the engine becomes a bit more versatile in feature-set.show more

i built an open world minigame that's controlled with... hand movements only here's a step-by-step tutorial: > started with my mediapipe + threejs template (see QT) > added a 3D model made by quaternius > sent a few prompts to gemini 3... --- prompt #1: repurpose the attached script, but now I want to import a gltf model (assets/model.gltf) and use that in the scene instead of the cube when the user moves their hand, a waypoint indicator should move around the scene, and the 3D model should smoothly move there when the user makes a fist, the model should jump the 3D model contains bundled animations in it. use the "idle", "run", and "jump" animations --- prompt #2: make this a procedural open world adventure. generate very simple procedural voxel terrain when the model gets near the edges of the screen, the camera should move, allowing the model to keep going in that direction --- prompt #3: add some floating glowing gems around the map that the user can collect --- i made some manual tweaks for styling and game feel, but that's the gist of it thanks for reading if you got all the way here full code is available at my link in bioshow more

On 11th August, 2025, I was involved in a... ghastly accident on my way from Kumasi to Accra with my friend, an accident that almost took our lives. The accident happened around 4:00 am, just a few minutes’ drive from Nkawkaw. In those moments after the crash, fear took over. Help was not coming, and at a point, I genuinely feared for our lives. I kept thinking the car might catch fire as we were helpless. We both sustained serious injuries: the bone in my thigh got broken, and my friend suffered fractures in both legs. I was admitted at St. Joseph Hospital for 22 days, where I underwent surgery and received all my treatments. After the surgery, the pain was unbearable and i even forgot how to walk. I stayed indoors for a long time, battling both physical pain and depression. There were days and nights I cried endlessly, holding on to hope and praying to get better. I feared our legs might never be the same again. Today, I am grateful to say that we are both doing well. From the depths of my heart, I extend my sincere gratitude to my friends and family, the doctors, surgeons, nurses, and everyone who stood by me during this extremely trying period. Your support, prayers, and encouragement carried me through when I felt weakest.show more

My Newest family member and portfolio addition: Eggs! 🐣📈... With egg prices $4.95 per dozen in USA I decided to skip eggs and bacon breakfast for one morning and placed a few fertilized eggs from free-range hens into an egg incubator from Temu 😅 The result after 21 days? 🧵 Four adorable chicks 🐥🐥🐥🐥 Here's the breakdown: These hens will start laying eggs at about 18 weeks old. They'll produce approximately 1 egg per day in their most productive 3 years. Average of 300 eggs per year over 3 years, each hen could lay around 1000 eggs in her lifetime. That's 4,000 eggs in total! At the current price of $4.95 per dozen, that's $1,650 worth of eggs over their laying period. It's similar with stock trading principles: by delaying immediate gratification and investing with patience, you can achieve significant returns. I postponed a single breakfast, invested 21 days, and now have a sustainable source of organic eggs 🐔🥚💰show more

OP : In Chembur, me and 4 of my... friends/siblings had gone out to eat burgers when a drunk man in his 50s-60s, standing on the road smoking, suddenly started yelling at me repeatedly, “चल गाड़ी पर बैठ आ जा.” When I asked if he was talking to me, he said yes. My brother confronted him for speaking to a girl like that, after which the man started threatening and yelling at me saying things like “शानी बन रही है क्या?” and "तुझे दिखाता हूँ." He then ran away leaving his scooty behind, and we stayed there waiting for him to return. Around 15 minutes later, he came back with his wife and completely changed the story, claiming I approached him first. While we were arguing, a local man called people from the area and suddenly 20-25 people gathered around us. Things escalated quickly - my sister was physically pushed, my brothers were beaten, slapped and attacked, and when I tried stopping them, even I got pushed and hit. Elderly women from the crowd started slapping me too. Stones were thrown at us and huge rocks shattered our car's front glass completely. We were just 5-6 people against an entire mob. When we called the police expecting help, they immediately started yelling at us to sit in the police van without even hearing our side. Later we found out the local man involved was apparently known to the police. At the station, instead of taking the harassment and assault seriously, we were mocked, interrupted, yelled at, and treated like criminals. One officer kept staring at my chest while I was trying to explain what happened, and one of my friends was even slapped by a cop for speaking against the local man they were favouring. By the end of it, we were so traumatised, exhausted and emotionally drained that we gave up on filing the complaint altogether. So the question is - is this how safe women are in Mumbai? If girls can get verbally/ sexually harassed, physically attacked, and then mocked at police stations too, who are common people supposed to go for help?show more

🚨HOLLY SHIT 🚨 🥳 90,000 FOLLOWERS 🤯 🎉 I’m... still a little stunned by that number! I only created this account years ago because my wife kept sending me links I couldn’t read without one. I reluctantly signed up, took one look around at the absolute circus this place was, and thought “what the hell did I just walk into?” 🤣 Then Elon took over and the playing field got a lot more level. I started speaking my mind … no filter, no agenda, just what I actually believe about this country and where it’s headed. I never expected anyone to care. When I got my first follower who wasn’t my wife 😆, I was genuinely shocked. Who follows some random guy with an opinion? Fast forward and here we are at 90,000 of you 🥳🤩🤯 I don’t take it for granted. Without you, this would just be me yelling into the void. You’ve given my voice reach I never planned for and never chased. My only goal has always been simple: wake up as many people as possible and help push this country back toward the Canada we grew up in … before the ideology, the waste, and the managed decline took over. ✅ I’m Still here. ✅ I’m Still saying what needs to be said. ✅ I’m Still fighting for a better future for my kids and yours. Thank you for riding with me this far 👏 We’re not done yet!! #CanadaFirst #cdnpoli #onpoli #90k #virałpostshow more

What happens when an autonomous robotaxi gets into an... accident? So far, nothing. Yesterday, I rode in a Zoox robotaxi and got hit by an RTC bus in front of New York New York. The Zoox was trying to turn right into New York New York on Tropicana Avenue just after crossing Las Vegas Boulevard and the bus was trying to get over to make its stop. What I saw, was the RTC bus merging into the front left of the Zoox robotaxi and then a crunching sound followed by a grinding sound. Pretty sure it was the RTC bus at fault. Impact detected. The Zoox robotaxi stayed in place while a warning popped up on the user display. Zoox support came over the in-car speaker and asked if I was okay and then eventually had me exit the vehicle at the New York New York rideshare area. Then, it just took off. The RTC bus? It also took off. The driver never got out to check to see what happened. Loaded up some passengers and went about the day. Nobody stayed around to file a police report, so I did. The Nevada State Troopers are scratching their heads at what to do here and so am I. Now I have a lot of questions that won’t get answered probably. I am okay and not injured thankfully, just shaken up a bit. As far as riding Zoox again, I feel it is safe to ride and highly recommend trying it out if you haven’t. On a side note: The Zoox took the hit pretty well and I couldn’t see damage when I checked it out. The bus had a nice scrape on its right wheel fender. I will keep you all updated on this.show more

Major Lazer’s origin story is a jumbled up mess.... it reads more like a villain story. I knew about Dave (Switch) from being the weirdest and hardest dj in london.. I followed him around endlessly trying to get tips on how to produce better he taught me logic and I threw it in the garbage and learned ableton he was Interested in my local scene in philly - spank rock, amanda blank, santigold, plastic little .. and somehow M.I.A. ⊕ II II II got mixed up in the project as me and Dave were summoned by XL Recordings to make beats for her .. I failed miserably but we did make a mixtape “piracy funds terrorism” and eventually made some bangers like paper planes and bucky done gun.. and dave had a few bangers around town. Mia was always the catalyst for our side project .. we made too many beats for her . we decided to go record them in jamaica because the artists were extremely talented. the jamaican music scene at the time was cutting edge and it was cheap to work there.. we made this major lazer album down there .. and started a little movement that ended up having a few billion streams .. it’s cool to put out Where’s The Daddy now because MIA was the third daddy of major lazershow more

Most impressive and memorable Songkran 💦 🧸: can you... believe that I used to play Songkran in Silom (a well-known street in Bangkok for playing Songkran) for two years? But my dad was there too, I wasn’t there by myself. I was there with my friends from school, and the parents were all behind us. My dad would shoot (water gun) people who’d shoot me. 🦋: dad is protective 🧸: yes! I’ve never had anyone dabbed powder on my face. I don’t allow it to be touched as I’m very protective of my face. I’m mainly focused on spraying the water. This year I’m not sure where I’d be playing or if I’ll play, but let’s wait and see because I might pop up somewhere to play or I might just be sleeping at home. ……………………………………………………………………….. 🦋: on the back of a pickup truck in/around Chiang Mai moat (famous for playing Songkran in Chiang Mai) and got to have ice as well (in the water). Went all out! I used to be a real fan of Songkran, but since I’ve grown up, I’m like…there are very few days of sleep for me, so I feel like on days off I‘ll just sleep. 🎤: spend time with your family 🦋: yes, I tell my mum and dad to stay at home and sleep. ‘Let’s sleep at home. We’re not going anywhere, we’re not gonna get stuck in traffic. We’re going to stay home.’show more
