I’m beautiful and tough like a diamond…or beef jerky in a ball gown.

  • I get that it isn’t the same but when all you have is a garbage version of a memory, I’m not sure or really matters whether the representation is the original garbage or something that makes you feel less regret over not having something better.

    In my experience, the worse the photograph the better my memory of it. Probably because my mind is already used to filling in the blanks in the garbage version, so it’s constantly refreshing the memory in my mind to keep it vivid. YMMV obviously. I’m also not much of a shutterbug and prefer to commit moments to memory than try to fight with my phone to snap a photo I’ll probably never look at.


















  • It does kind of match that, energy profile-wise, but fridge was definitely on the power station and isn’t reflected in the graph from 8am to 5pm. I wanted to make sure I could run that from PV alone and after that was confirmed, just kept putting it on PV during the day. That, and the usage graph seems to be averaged over 30 minute intervals, so I don’t think a momentary spike like a motor’s startup draw would show like it would with a realtime graph.
