Hey, hey, heeeeey,
Hope you exploited Haloween to the max - got all dressed up and devouvered all the candy in your neighbourhood. I chugged down more glasses of Cremant than I can count. Or cared to count. I even tried to have a sort of costume - I drew spider webs on my cheeks and a puppy nose kinda on my nose. Don’t ask me how that ties together, it doesn’t.
Tbh most of my life everything has come to me quite easy. I think that’s because overall I’m a very open and happy person and that attracts opportunities. At the ripe age of 35, I’m starting to see the difference in things achieved when I do not go with the flow but put in some effort and even discipline. Discipline gives more sense of control. It also goes hand in hand with patience. Which once again is something I’m starting to have only now. Both have turned out to be good, rewarding traits. Where does regret come in? Lately, I’ve been aware of things I want in my life (not what flows my way) and the opposite of having them is … well, regret not having them. What I’m trying to say in this messy paragraph - there are different kinds of pain. Pick your poison. I’m going with the one that gives me more of what I love long-term.
What on earth happened this weekend at Interlagos? This was one of the most mental F1 weekends I have ever seen and it seemed to go on forever. Thoughts and prayers to mechs at Williams and Aston.

An interesting read about the potential future of robots. It’s not another world domination, sex toys, or undetectable help in getting your degree. It’s more boring than that. But also more useful - it’s about the robot's capability to do various household chores remarkably well. This could be very important when it’s combined with the growing population of elderly people.
