I am sleepy, but I updated my site. IDK why I was a bit too restless today. I intended to go to office but didn't. Still slept a lot and wrote a bunch of stories. For the site as well. Japan's iSpace crashed its second lander today. Elon went nuclear on Trump in the morning, bit of an Axiom 4 scare there, I shared a Boeing meme a few hours before Starliner began trending. I wrote a story about star lifting, its fascinating way to extend the lives of stars. I didn't even get to the main topic I wanted to write about, Lazarus Stars. At the same time in the morning, Senate provided discretionary funds to save Gateway, SLS/Orion, but not the Mars Sample Return Mission, tho it cleared a Mars relay orbiter. 

A bunch of NASA extended missions are at Mars and the Moon. Curiosity might shut down. Davinci and Veritas are also gone. Dragonfly and Roman might survive. Chandra, Fermi, Juno, Osiris-Apex, New Horizons are all under threat. Juno hurts the most because it is the most distant operational planetary orbiter. 

Have to see how things turn out. I had a positive approach, waiting to see final decision, but things are looking dire. I hope the data availability channels are not compromised. NOAA and NHS are seeing cuts too. IDC about NHS in all of this lol.

Had gone to the Asus office today, got out there quickly, but spoke to all the PR team members for the first time. Left there quickly though, as I got there early. Then took a long nap, and in the evening got on the call for the Axiom 4 press conference. My question was not picked, I was a bit miffed and anxious for a bit wondering why. I guess it is because it was a generic question. This was a minor setback, will see if I can get an opportunity to pose that question again in the future. Making myself feel a bit better thinking at least I got an answer from SpaceX last time. 

There are a lot more people covering second hand info, even when there is an opportunity for people to get the info first hand. The official X handle of Axiom Space itself is not showing too many engagements.. which is a bit sad. 

Also learned that the NASA Juno mission may be one of the culled extended programmes by Trump's skinny budget. I like that one because it has a great outreach component. Still, have to wait and watch. 

DND 49

We speak to the crew and figure that it is going to take two days to go to lemon tollard. Creek tries to take the help of the crew to figure what happened. Creek tries to talk to Mason about snackks stash. Tsui takes a swim underwater to check out the environment. Tsui just sees barnacles, right into sunlight shining into their private parts. She signals creek. 1319 scries on the manacles, sees the body of the cap in the hold. We know a very sharp weapon was used to cut the flesh. 

On the night of the third day, the tree we saw many days ago was very tiny, it grows bigger and bigger till we see the largest tree I've ever seen. It is almost as large as a mountain. To get to the tree, we need to go around an island in the north and the south. We reach Lemon Tollard late in the night. There are lots of ships of different shapes and sizes. Creek remembers a whole bunch of places, where we have taken swimming. We see a lot more races here, including tritons. 

DnD 48

 We found that the captain Grotto had been murdered, and Pyro had been injected and stabbed. The happy time did not go quite as planned. Pyro came under a localised zone of truth, and was forced to divulge everything about why they are where they are. Figwit was on crow's nest. Once Pyro divulged to the assassins that another person connected to the duergar was on board, two of the assassins left the captain and went away somewhere. The assassins talked to Gushti and went away, 1319 and Tsui follow the assassins. Tsui and 1319 hear sex noises from the cabin, but it is actually Pyro being beaten up or something. Everyone rushes upstairs and the assassin in the cabin disappears in a puff of smoke that smells like sulphur. When we go back, we see Gushti is killed as well. Pyro speaks to the dead bodies in the hold, we only get the name of the merchant who had hired the boats to put in the crates Thorin Mur. The assassins had sneaked aboard using these crates. 

Gushti was told to help these people because of the Barabedroar, the CIA of the dwarves. The shadow dwarves who operate in the dark. We scry the dwarf sleeping at home. We cannot figure out the nature of the Runic stone blasting out sex noises. We see a massive tree faraway in the distance on the horizon. 

⛭⛣⚴⛭∇⛣♆.⚴☋☿☿☿ 31 May CME

 There was a big M8 flare earlier in the day, a long duration one that resulted in a fast moving CME, that is forecasted to cannibalise two previous CMEs on the way to the Earth tomorrow, striking around 5:30 UTC. It will only be a glancing blow though. Detailed forecasts are awaited, UK Weather Services are saying G4.

 Wow quite a bit of things happened yesterday. We had a grand farewell for one of the more senior management. There was a ton of office gossip and a lot of booze also. I like the fact that people in Delhi drink. Mumbai people in office parties don't go full enjoy like that. People also know how to have fun and enjoy while drinking. We all reached home by 12:30 though. 

Someone had gotten a kid to the party. The dB levels were unsafe, going up to 105!

Mediatek people were also there! 

It was a nice club, we keep going there for farewells, Illusions next to Galleria. 

I didnt drink much and they took away my rum lol because time got over :D

I kind of like this new dating system I invented for myself lol. There are no days! Time just keeps going by. There are no years also, but it is precise as a timestamp. 5125410.09326. The benefit of this is that you do not feel like you have lost days, just a period of time. It also means that I can write multiple entries in a day. Changes the whole idea of a daily journal lol, guess Ill just type stuff out as frequently or infrequently as I can or want, and not worry about having to do it. :D 

A single second corresponds to +3. Its pretty cool but I wanna now make it even more obscure, and use arcane symbols lol. So now I am using ⛒⚴♆∇⛣⚺☿☋⚶⛭. So it is now ⛭⛣⚴⛭∇⛣⛒.⛣⚺⚶⛭☋. Great lol. I feel like Arthur Conan Doyle.

I guess I lost a few days. Nothing happened also. I had a lot of sugercane juice on monday, and a proper meal after the weekend eating idlis and curd rice. I got some kind of shock response, felt faint and like puking, I had fainted while feeling like this last year when I was visiting home. I also started sweating despite the AC. I took a cab home and crashed, but did not even sleep. 

Then the next day, I had a strange dream, some kind of water panther and displacer beast combination. It was a combination of Alexandra Quick fan fiction series and a Dungeons and Dragon session from years ago. I wonder how brains mush up experiences into dreams. 

Then I spent nearly a whole day writing a laptop review. Had to send back a lot of cool hardware today, a Qualcomm Snapdragon Vivobook 16 with an OLED display that I regret not using more, it was light, sleek and powerful, a great device to use, definitely better than a MacBook. I also had to send back the ROG Strix G16 with a 5070 Ti graphics card. It was a bit janky but a great piece of hardware, and I appreciated the fact that Asus trusted its buyers enough to have a removable lid. It can be used for upgrades, but I just like how easy it is to open up the laptop and look at the aggressive cooling solution and the large battery. I will have to see if Surviving Mars works as well on my existing laptop. The i7 is a pretty powerful chip. 

Oh yeah, the Snapdragon machine I discovered that Space Engine does not work. That was a bit of a shock because I needed to take some images of the moon. Had to change laptops. First world problems. 

Then Im planning to go to Carnatic Cafe for a late lunch today, eat a heavy meal, before going to the party. I guess I have to leave by 6:30ish. 

It is going to be a fun evening, but I want to go easy. Not stress my body too much. Eat more than drink. I hope they have juices at the bar.
