2024.05.16 14:49 ya-boi-benny Respect Dmitri Smerdyakov, the Chameleon (Marvel, 616)

The famous baseballer, Jackie Robinson, he once said: “A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” I could not agree more. That is why I try to make as much impact on my faces’ lives as possible. After all, they have done so much for me. It is the least I can do. Unlike them, I need not fear what people think of me. So I can be brave where they are weak. For I will just be someone else tomorrow.
Born in Russia to the Grand Duke Nikolai Kravinoff, Dmitri Nikolaievich Smerdyakov was treated like trash by his noble father and his working class mother. Young Dmitri was approached one day by Gustav Fiers, who was impressed by the boy's impressions and paid for a trip to Karl Fiers academy. There, Dmitri would learn to master the arts of disguise, vocal impression and infiltration, becoming the Chameleon upon his graduation.
He'd move to America and use his talents to pull off high-scale burglary, working for any group that could afford his fee, including the Communist party, Hydra or the Green Goblin. His elicit activity brought him into conflict with the Hulk, Iron Man and most often Spider-Man, all of whom had to act with great caution when the Chameleon was in town. After all, which one of them could tell if that unassuming civilian or their own ally was preparing to stab them in the back?
Dmitri has some mental hangups over his time with the Kravinoffs. He’s managed to repress the memories and considered himself good friends with his half-brother Kraven. In reality, he was more like a whipping boy and slave to the Hunter, and when he has to wrestle with those feelings, he can mentally revert to that scared little boy with no strong sense of identity or independence. But when he’s able to move past these feelings, the Chameleon has proved himself as a powerful, manipulative force, finding his place as temporary Crime Master of New York and member of the Sinister Six.
Scaling
Notes
During one of Dmitri’s mental breaks, he began to believe that he was his deceased half-brother, Kraven the Hunter. So exact was the Chameleon’s performance that he moved and fought with the hunter’s skill and agility. This was an extreme fringe case and there are no other examples of a disguise altering Chameleon's capabilities like this. Physical and skill-related feats from this period will be marked with [KH].

Monica Rappaccini: I apologize for the delay in initial payment, but we first had to verify your identity. A.I.M.’s intel had been that the Chameleon was dead- or in an insane asylum.
Chameleon: Yes, well. That would be exactly what I wanted you to think. Faded into the background, imperceptible… that’s where a Chameleon is most comfortable… and where I shall now return.

2024.05.16 10:15 Nice-Increase-4430 [For Hire] Virtual Assistant for $3💅🏻

Let me introduce myself first. I'm from the Philippines. A 20 year old male who are taking Bachelor of Business Administration Major in Marketing. I'm already 2nd year student. I have been working with my instructor at my university for a year now as their Assistant. I know how to organize specially when it comes using G-drive. Additionally, I know how to use video editing with capcut, photo editing with picsart or other photo editing application, Good at using CHAT GPT to make my work faster and be more productive but still I didn't let my critical thinking to be rusty, Writing, gptzero to identify if a work is made by an AI, Canva, and Wix Studio (but I still need to pay to use that application same as Shopify).
I love reading Business Books (you can ask me if you want recommendations to read) and watching Mobster movies just like the God Father.
I'm not telling you boss to hire me quickly, I want to know also, about the business that you are in. Seems it might open me with new opportunities in my life.

2024.05.16 04:16 Malevin87 Blackberry 2025: Software and AI company

Where I think growth can be made:
  1. QNX in more cars. They can capitalize on the idea of less ECUs = less cost for OEMs + security.
  2. IVY usage by OEMs along with QNX.
  3. IVY ecosystem. Maybe application billing?
  4. Professional services (support) for the products listed.
  5. AtHoc increased market share in more governmental/healthcare/educational entities.
  6. SecuSUITE for more enterprise customers with the idea being saving employers money from purchasing work phones for employees, and worrying about securing them.

2024.05.10 03:29 RedeemedWanderer Self Reflection on PLS.

Today, while setting up my new iPhone, I had an epiphany about blockchain technology that I felt like sharing. As I meticulously added each contact to my phone, I couldn't help but draw parallels between managing digital assets on the blockchain and the seamless communication facilitated by the cellular network.
Think about it like this: in the blockchain world, we send and receive digital assets—tokens, NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and other forms of value—much like how we exchange messages and phone calls over the cellular network. Just as our phones enable us to communicate directly with others without the need for intermediaries other then the cellular network, blockchain technology allows us to transact similarly, securely and without reliance on third parties other then the Blockchain Network of your choosing.
However, amidst this realization, I also became acutely aware of the challenges and deception within the blockchain space. Projects like Cardano and Solana promise the world and back but fail to deliver, much like unreliable phone networks that promise seamless connectivity but frequently drop calls or suffer from poor reception and bugs.
Comparing the evolution of technology, I drew parallels between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and PulseChain, likening them to different stages of mobile phone development. Bitcoin, akin to the old Nokia phones, is reliable but lacks the versatility and functionality of newer models. Ethereum, once a trailblazer with its introduction of smart contracts, now faces scalability issues, much like the transition from Nokia to Blackberry—innovative but struggling to keep pace with demand.
Enter Pulsechain— like the Apple of the blockchain world. Its brand new and offers fast, efficient, and innovative software, revolutionizing transactions much like Apple revolutionized the smartphone industry. PulseChain aims to reshape the blockchain landscape with its low transaction fees, deflationary tokenomics, scalability, and potential for growth, much like how Apple transformed communication and software with its intuitive user experience and groundbreaking technology.
My overall experience solidified my belief that blockchain technology is the future of digital financial transactions whether centralized or decentralized. Just as smartphones became indispensable within the cellular market, blockchain is poised to revolutionize various industries with its nature and efficient transaction capabilities, much like how the cellular network transformed communication on a global scale.
While blockchain technology may seem complex at first glance, it's essential to understand its transformative potential and the opportunities it presents for innovation and growth. With the recent development of various software and applications (DeFi) within the blockchain space, there's a wealth of opportunities for investment and speculation as the technology continues to evolve and mature.
And let's not forget, blockchain and digital assets stands out as the highest appreciating asset class the earth has ever seen in its documented history with its unparalleled potential for growth and innovation continually reshaping the global digital financial landscape. Compared to traditional speculative options like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and the real estate market, cryptocurrency’s consistently outperforms, offering unmatched opportunities for wealth accumulation and financial independence.

2024.05.09 05:21 FormulaFanboyFFIB Using the trackball/keyboard to control a Raspberry Pi?

So, I had an idea. It's mainly for a film I am creating. If nobody makes this than I am just going to edit it to *look* like this is what's happening, but I think it would be cool if it actually existed since it's almost certainly possible.
I had the idea for a Ubuntu application of some kind that would allow to plug a BlackBerry Bold 9000 into a Raspberry Pi and use the keyboard and trackball on the phone as a keyboard and mouse on the operating system. Is there any chance somebody more talented than me could develop an application like this?
If you do then I will give you a big credit in my film.
Thanks in advance

2024.05.04 15:39 Calm_Extreme1532 Just Saw Seinfeld’s New Film Unfrosted (Review)

Just Saw Seinfeld’s New Film Unfrosted (Review)
For those unaware, Jerry Seinfeld made his own corporate biopic about the origins of pop tarts. I watched it, didn’t think it was good, and wanted to share my thoughts. Not going to bother putting spoiler tags so be warned, but I doubt most of you are going to bother to see it anyways if you’re not interested already.
In interviews promoting this, Jerry Seinfeld came out and said that the movie business is over. While I generally agree with the sentiment that the movie business is a shell of its former self, I can’t help but find that Jerry Seinfeld isn’t the best messenger as his vision for a film was to make a movie on the origins of fucking pop tarts.
It’s no secret that Seinfeld’s entire career is thanks to Larry David, and the only other things to his name is his shitty Bee Movie and failed projects. His standup wasn't funny, his TV stuff wasn't funny, and his films aren’t funny. The man is a hack yet he acts as if he’s an authority on anything.
He's also wrong that the movie industry won't bounce back. All it will take is one radical talented auteur to break in and change everything again, just like it happens every 20 years or so when people proclaim that the sky is falling in Hollywood. There is a huge groundswell of pissed off resentment for how the industry/country has been going the last decade or so, and out of that will emerge an artist that fully taps into that anger, writes something great and convinces someone to let them shoot it on celluloid. This new zeitgeist work will reveal everything else for the trite slop that it is, and kick off another cinematic revolution of imitators.
Getting into the film itself, it’s complete shit. Not only is it a soulless biopic, it’s a soulless biopic that doesn’t take itself seriously. BlackBerry, the best biopic of the bunch that came out last year, was a comedy that still had drama and stakes to it. Unfrosted? They make it very blatant that they only made this movie to capitalize off of a trend and don’t really have anything worth sharing or saying. It falls into the “we made an unsatisfying film on purpose so somehow that makes it good” camp.
Jokes consist of weird modern references and memes that are completely alien to the timeframe being depicted. Tony The Tiger dresses up as the Q-Anon shaman and leads the other mascots into having their own J/6 where they storm Kellogg headquarters. Jon Hamm and John Slattery reprise their roles from MadMen and give them an advertising pitch where they tell them to make the brand more erotic. Jon Hamm also implies that he can make Melissa McCarthy cum. There are some other examples, but those are the most memorable. When they’re not relying on modern references, anything original they come up with is just weird. Peter Dinklage plays the leader of a group of milk-men that function as mobsters shaking down people for money. Chef Boyardee and the creator of Sea-Monkeys become a gay couple to raise a lab grown pasta monster that almost ruined Kellogg’s reputation. Like I said, they’re just capitalizing off a trend with this movie, and so all of the payoffs have to do with surprise celebrity appearances, in your face references not befitting the timeframe, and nonsensical shit happening. When you don’t have a vision or greater motivation put in to making a movie, it really shows.
It has the most cancerous cast ever. Amy Schumer isn't funny, no one likes her, but she continues to get work. A real mystery. Even when she appears in decent films like The Humans (2021) her role wasn’t complicated and any competent actress could give a performance like hers. But even then that film worked because it utilized how unlikable she is.
The same can be said of Melissa McCarthy. Instead of having a "Oh no Melissa McCarthy's acting chops are wasted yet again" review for the thousandth time can we just be honest with ourselves that she’s just not that good to begin with?
Jerry Seinfeld himself cannot act to save his life. Every line from him feels completely phoned in.
Make no mistake, even without any self-awareness Seinfeld still has a point. We’ve had the Barbie movie, we’ve had the Doritos movie, we’ve had the Blackberry movie, we’ve had the Air Jordans movie, we’ve had the Beanie Baby movie, we’ve had the Tetris movie, now we have a breakfast pastry movie. Creativity is so goddamn bankrupt in Hollywood in terms of what they prioritize that we’ve entered this corporate cocksucking era of "cinema" where full blown commercials for products are now the norm. If there’s one thing we can give credit to Seinfeld for, it’s highlighting that this trend can’t even be enjoyed in an ironic sense anymore. But it speaks volumes that when making a movie his vision only goes as far as current trends allow for. The guy is a billionaire. He could finance a movie entirely by himself. He could make whatever he wants and hire the most talented people in the world. He could make his own Dune adaptation and still be filthy rich. Instead he makes lazy shit that amounts to nothing more than glamorized commercials.
It doesn’t really matter what side of the culture war conflict you’re on, we should all at least agree that Seinfeld is a damn hack who made a stupid movie that he didn’t put any effort into, and is now going on an interview tour making excuses by saying that anyone who doesn’t like it just doesn’t have a sense of humor. Unfortunately for Seinfeld, the reality is that he just isn’t funny. 1/10

2024.04.23 01:30 TeaAndCozy Nui Cobalt Critters are coming! 24 reviews from past years

I've always been a girl who loves animals, and now that I have two pet rabbits, both adoped within the last year, I am extra excited about the return of Nui Cobalt's Critters collection! This collection isn't entirely sweet cuddly woodland creatures, but it does have a lot of those, including three of my all-time favorite Nui Cobalts: Little Brown Rabbit, Little White Rabbit, and Lilac Rabbit. When Forest posted in the Facebook group asking which Critters we'd like to see return, or which animals we'd love to see emerge as new Critters, I waxed rhapsodic about the Rabbits and suggested a bunch of other colorings of rabbits that could become amazing perfumes... so I'm hopeful that we might even get a new Rabbit this year. I would just about die of happiness if she really did make a Blue Otter Rabbit after my sweet bun Hazel. She also teased a Ladybug scent for this year, which would be SO CUTE!
Anyway, the Critters are due back this Friday, with the newsletter announcing them on Thursday, and I am excited. As usual, I thought I'd post my thoughts on all the past Critters I've tried in case that might help you formulate your wishlist. And if you've tried any of these, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Was your experience similar to mine?
My preferences: I especially love snuggly scents, incense, golden amber, cardamom, black tea, beeswax, non-gourmand vanillas, and white florals (particularly tiare, honeysuckle and tuberose; sadly I am allergic to lilies and jasmine doesn’t work on me). I don't like hay, overly sweet gourmands, excessive musk, dragon’s blood, leather, patchouli, labdanum, or any really dark scents in general. To my great devastation, Nui Cobalt’s apricot and pear notes don’t tend to work on me, though I haven’t given up hope and I continue to try new blends with those notes occasionally.
Most of these perfumes were provided as press samples by Nui Cobalt in exchange for an honest review.

Rabbits

Little Brown Rabbit [Nutmeg and tonka bean nuzzle up against fluffy marshmallow, cottonflower, pink pepper, and a trace of carrot seed] (this perfume is so popular that it is also in the Continuous Collection and available all year 'round!) - This is one of my absolute top perfume oils. It comforts me on hard days, it cozies me on laid-back evenings, it cheers me on rainy days. My husband recognizes it immediately and honestly I think he finds it cuddly too when I'm wearing it, and it's also his primary frame of reference when he sniffs a new sample I'm trying - "that smells a bit like Little Brown Rabbit" is high praise from him. Wet, it's very strongly nutmeg and caramel, almost mapley, but also with just a bit of pepperish bite from the carrot seed - this is as gourmand as I'm willing to get. Once it dries, the caramel dissipates and it becomes the most marvelously snuggly scent. Having a bad day? Little Brown Rabbit can cheer you up. Having a cozy day? Little Brown Rabbit will make it that much better. Wanting to unwind in the evening? Little Brown Rabbit is my go-to snuggly evening scent. And I think it's the absolute must-try from Nui Cobalt.
Little White Rabbit [Nutmeg and tonka bean nuzzle up against cottonflower, white peppercorn, clove, vanilla marshmallow creme, pale blue cashmere, carrot seed, and honeyed almond] - When the news broke that NCD was releasing a new little rabbit variant two years ago, I was SO excited (little did I know that it would seemingly become an annual thing!), and I blind-bought a full-size (something I never do). Especially because Little White Rabbit adds that wonderful cashmere note to Little Brown Rabbit, this one was a no-brainer for me, and my trust was easily rewarded. Nui Cobalt has outdone themselves with this, their most snuggly of perfumes. I expected this to be a lot like LBR only less mapley and perhaps more cashmere-y (and yes, it is both of these things), but truly, LWR feels even more like it's built on a base of Spidersilk vanilla (Starlight and Spidersilk: [Slender strands of cotton flower hung with trembling dewdrops, cold crystalline musk, and tiny black vanilla beans]), with some of the LBR spices (the peppercorn and carrot seed, but I don't sense any cloves) plus the comforting warmth of the cashmere and almond of Silver Fox (see below), another favorite of mine. And then finally, the marshmallow ties it all together into a pillowy cloud of coziness. It's frankly astonishing. Love at first sniff even just from the vial, and on my skin it blossoms into the most comforting scent. Do I love it even more than LBR? I still can't tell, even years later. I love them both. One final note that may be helpful to some of you: the cottonflower is pretty strong with this one, which is part of why it reminds me so much of the Spidersilk vanilla, but if you're not so much a fan of "clean" laundry-like scents, this one might not be quite your cup of tea - go for LBR instead.
Lilac Rabbit [Nutmeg and tonka bean nuzzle up against toasted marshmallow, carrot seed, summerweight cotton, allspice, and pale lilac in a smooth fur accord] - Oh friends, I hoped and pleaded for another new Rabbit last year, and the universe (and Nui Cobalt) answered! I'm not actually all that fond of lilac and I think I have ended up destashing all of my perfumes with lilac notes, but I was willing to risk it for the chance of a floral Rabbit. Lilac Rabbit is gorgeous - but really, did you expect it to be anything else? I get primarily marshmallow, allspice, and cotton. It sits exactly halfway between the other two Rabbits, with the allspice and peppery carrot seed spices of Little Brown Rabbit (but without the maple quality), and also with the silky, slightly soapy fabric aspect of Little White Rabbit. There is perhaps just a touch of musky lilac, but it doesn't really read to me like a floral perfume. Lilac Rabbit is comfortable. The closest metaphor I can think of is a day when you're wearing a new outfit, one that fits perfectly and really suits you, but it's also completely comfy, with no itchy spots or seams that dig in, and it moves with you. It's like a day where you feel perfectly yourself, fully at ease, and completely put-together. This new Rabbit is everything I could have possibly dreamed of, and it immediately became one of my favorite spring & summer scents.

Squirrels

In past years, they've offered a complete set of all the Squirrels, which was how I tried them all a few years ago. (They've since been discontinued, but sometimes discontinued things return again, or perhaps you might run into one in the swaps, so I'll include all my Squirrel reviews here.) All of the Squirrels are built on the same base of almond + apricot + benzoin, and then each one has different additional notes. Like the Spidersilk variants (all built on the same Spidersilk vanilla base but with different additional notes - my reviews HERE), the Squirrels each have an entirely different vibe. Interestingly, the actual proportion of almond to apricot also seems to vary by Squirrel, perhaps because of the interactions with the different added notes, or perhaps because they actually use different proportions in the Squirrel base for each one. It means that they don't feel anything like near-exact copies of each other, but each have a really distinct identity.
Black Squirrel [A playful blend of almond and spiced apricot, grounded in rich benzoin and copaiba balsam, deepened by black oak, black currant, vanilla bean, and myrrh] - When I first put it on, it's very strongly and exclusively almond - a warm almond that reminds me of baking almond cookies, and it must be the vanilla that helps to make that association. The almond veers slightly towards cherry. As the oil warms on my skin, the apricot emerges and then overtakes the almond. It's apricot skin, soft and velvety, rather than the fleshy fruit of the apricot. These two notes, paired with the woodiness of the balsam and (presumably) black oak, makes this a very bookish scent, perfect for the dark academia aesthetic of my wardrobe in autumn. It's not really an incense-heavy perfume; the myrrh just grounds it and gives it a beautiful dark richness. On me it's not terribly fruity (though I know some folks get mostly dark stone fruits; isn't skin chemistry fascinating!) It's the longest-lasting of the Squirrels, too - the second time I wore it, its throw was a bit too high at bedtime so I washed my wrists, and even so, I could still smell Black Squirrel the next morning!
Flying Squirrel [Raw almond, spiced apricot, and rich benzoin borne aloft by lavender, cotton flower, and tart kumquat] - This one reminds me a lot of Napping in a Flower [Tender ripe apricot, Bulgarian lavender, spiced summer honey, plum blossom, daylily, honeysuckle, and ylang], which makes perfect sense since they share a lot of the same notes, but without the honey and honeysuckle that made Napping too candle-y on me. Husband said this reminds him strongly of Little White Rabbit - he said it's the spices that make that association for him, and I suspect he was also picking up on the shared cotton flower and almond notes. I'm finding it easier to compare Flying Squirrel to other NCD scents than to describe it on its own; its combination of notes feels quite erratic and the concept doesn't feel terribly unified. I couldn't classify this as a "cozy" perfume even though it does have a strong cotton flower note, nor is it citrusy enough for me to think of it as a fruity perfume (even though it has the strongest apricot of all the Squirrels), or herbal enough for it to go in my lavender section (in fact, I'm hoping that some aging brings out the lavender more). If you like Napping in a Flower or Little White Rabbit - two perfumes that are really nothing alike! - you'd probably enjoy this one too.
Grey Squirrel [A playful blend of almond and spiced apricot, grounded in rich benzoin and copaiba balsam, softened with cotton flower, cashmere, and teakwood] - This one gives the effect of eating an almond cookie while snuggled in a wool blanket. This one is super cozy - the autumn cousin of my beloved wintertime snuggly scents (Silver Fox, Snow Cat, Chionophilia, all of which also feature almond and fabric notes - see their full notes lists and my comparative reviews HERE). Grey Squirrel stays pretty static, not morphing like Black Squirrel, and the apricot is only barely present.
Red Squirrel [A playful blend of almond and spiced apricot, grounded in rich benzoin and copaiba balsam, warmed with red musk, red sandalwood, and smoldering amber] - This one is pretty heavy on the red musk, and was in fact partly responsible for me finally figuring out that I don't personally enjoy red musk. The almond, apricot, and sandalwood combination does give this a rather gourmand-adjacent feel to it, more so than the other Squirrels. It's a very rich and warm perfume. It's funny how actually "red" this scent feels - it feels like the experience of watching a bonfire die down, even though there's no smoke note at all. "Smoldering" indeed.
White Squirrel [A playful blend of almond and spiced apricot, grounded in rich benzoin and copaiba balsam, cooled with aloe, white musk, and smooth white amber] - Even without looking at the notes, it was easy to identify the white amber in this one, even though Nui Cobalt only infrequently uses white amber as a note. White Squirrel is very like Grey Squirrel, equally cozy but lighter and airier, with that white amber instead of cashmere. White Squirrel is cooler, more standoffish than Grey Squirrel - that "cool" effect must be the aloe - more a wintertime snuggly scent rather than an autumnal cozy scent. Even the now-familiar almond + apricot base feels daintier and even less foody here in White Squirrel.
Overall--

All the other Critters

Akhal-Teke [Fine ecru suede, raw silk, pearl musk, white amber, precious Hawaiian sandalwood, and creamy pistachio] - As someone put it, "super shiny horse". Silky yet fuzzy and soft, sophisticated yet snuggly. I recognize that pearl musk + sandalwood combination from Cancer [Cotton flower, steamed rice, soft sandalwood, vanilla orchid, coconut milk, and pearl musk] and I love it here too. All of these notes, suede + silk + pearl musk + white amber + sandalwood together, are gentle and just the epitome of softness, yet with just enough body and presence to be soft-on-purpose, assertively soft if that makes sense. This is not a wallflower scent. On to more specifics about the literal smell. At first, the nutty pistachio is pretty present, but it melds beautifully with the gentle suede. The silk and white amber give an elegance. I also definitely get the pearl musk and sandalwood, which take more prominence in the drydown when the pistachio dissipates a bit. This is my favorite stage - just soft, gentle, creamy, and absolutely lovely. Akhal-Teke has low throw but high longevity. I should note that after a year of aging, the pistachio amped quite a lot, overpowering that gorgeous pearl musk/sandalwood base that I loved so much. I'm hoping someday Forest might make one that's basically just pearl musk and sandalwood, without any gourmand elements!
Black-Capped Chickadee [Dogwood saplings, cedar resin, the tang of young stone fruits: still tiny and green, sugar maple, pine nuts, and barely-thawed soil] - I'm not one for dirt notes, so I completely passed this one up for several years, but enough really glowing reviews finally convinced me to try it. In the vial, it smells of wood, honeyed fruits, and hay. On my skin, it's soil, slightly nutty and incensey, with plush fruit and some very cedar-forward wood notes - and yet it's surprisingly dainty, and a perfect encapsulation of a black-capped chickadee. There's something about this scent that reminds me of snow-covered pebbles, and also of Shakespeare's poem "The cloud-capp'd towers" from The Tempest. After much sniffing and pondering, I finally figured out why I made that snowy association - the fruits read to me like cranberry, making this feel like a wintery scent. As for "The cloud-capp'd towers," I think I'm getting that Shakespearean reference from the combination of daintiness and dirt.
Blossom Bat [Humid rainforest blossoms laden with nectar, dense moss, passionfruit, black fig, and bamboo] - This was an order freebie that I wouldn't have picked out for myself, but it's so fun, and it went straight into my "Aloe and dewy" section of my summer perfumes, next to Waimea Mist and Aloha from the Big Island summer collection. Blossom Bat is velvety flower petals against a lush background of aquatic notes. I don't often enjoy moss notes (they often turn into honeydew melon on my skin), but here the moss contributes to the especially verdant feeling.
Blue Jay [Sturdy blue spruce and young oak support the bold elegance of white peony, angelica, blackberry bramble, and rhubarb] - In the vial, it's extremely fruity with a hint of trees. On my skin, it matches the description much more closely: evergreens and forest floor, brightened by fruity sweetness and a hint of floral. If you loved None of Your Beeswax [Thorny brambles of blackberry, elderflower, violet, fennel seed, sacred benzoin, and unfiltered honey] from the Bees collection, do give this one a try - Blue Jay is like None of Your Beeswax's summer cousin. I once wore this to a community theater production of Into the Woods and it was perfect.
Copper Fox [Warm chai with steamed almond milk nestled in sumptuous cashmere, crimson musk, sarsaparilla, and budding birch] - I once went on a quest to find the perfect chai perfume, and of course I had to try Copper Fox! Immediately on application, Copper Fox is root beer, spicy root beer - there's that sarsaparilla in a big way. As it quickly dries, the overwhelmingly root beer-ness of it backs off somewhat, and it becomes much more chai spices + the woody birch (and still with an undercurrent of root beer). Chai latte this is not - it's all the spices of chai (cinnamon and black pepper especially, and probably a bit of ginger as well) without any sweetness or milky creaminess. I should note that at this point my skin has a slight reaction to this perfume; this perfume ended up being part of my discovery that like many others, I too have a slight skin reaction to cinnamon. It didn't hurt a bit and the redness went away fairly quickly, but be forewarned, if you're a person that has a reaction to cinnamon, this might be a blend worth steering away from, or at least planning to wear in a scent locket or in your hair instead of on your skin. Finally, several hours later, Copper Fox has a third stage, and to me the most lovely: chai spices backed by gentle almond and cozy cashmere (and at this stage it's clearly a "Fox" like Silver Fox).
Elf Owl [A bright concoction of liatrix, yellow sandalwood, beach-tumbled teak, solar musk, crushed coriander, and a scant pinch of pale cinnamon] - With the teak and cinnamon, and of course the obvious cue of the "solar musk", I was expecting this to be in the same family as Nui Cobalt's Sun, Heliophilia (Love of Sun), and Sunrise on Spidersilk (comparative review HERE!). Those sun-themed perfumes can be a bit too sharp and masculine on me (I tend to prefer snuggly scents or white florals), but as a great lover of owls (and a huge fan of Nui Cobalt's Snowy Owl [Dried coconut flakes, pale woods, frozen tuberose, vanilla orchid, and fluffy feather musk], with which it admittedly shares not a single note), I absolutely could not pass up Elf Owl. I'm so glad I didn't. This actually isn't in the sun-themed family, nor, of course, does it match the highly white-floral Snowy Owl. Instead, Elf Owl turns out to be much closer to Squash Blossom [Cocobolo wood, orris root, carrot seed, sunflower petals, mandarin zest, and acorn squash baked with brown sugar] from the Autumn 1 collection, though much less vegetal. It's a very well-blended perfume and nothing in particular stands out. The overall effect is gentle: gently floral and slightly vegetal, with vanilla and baking spices but without any sugary sweetness. (Liatrix, for anyone who doesn't know what that note is--I had to look it up myself!--is a "sweet, coumarinic, herbal, tobacco-like floral and offers a pleasant vanilla-like scent".)
Fennec Fox [Blush sandalwood, amber resin, antique Egyptian cotton touched with saffron, spiced peach preserves, and sweet cedar resin] - It's gentle, warm, and spiced, with that snuggly feeling that you get with anything that has NCD's cotton note. If you really look, you can distinguish the wood, saffron, and peach, but they meld together extremely well. Surprisingly, I actually get quite a lot of the same sand note as in Flying South [Pink lemonade, warm sand, tiare blossoms, and a flowy cotton sundress] even though sand is not listed. I wear Fennec Fox in autumn on days when I don't feel like a pumpkin.
Glasswing Butterfly [A diaphanous veil of coconut water, elderflower, moonlit gardenia, silver musk, green lavender, and a slender twist of lime] - Nelophilia (Love of Glass) [Elderflower, silver musk, coconut water, cardamom, silk tree, lime blossom, and smooth hinoki wood] is one of my favorites from the Valentine's collection, but it's been discontinued for some time. So I was delighted to see this one because its notes read like a combination of Nelophilia and Queen Bee [Creamy white gardenia and fluffy whipped honey], both among my favorite NCD perfumes. It's not quite - it's not the same almost-spicy gardenia as in Queen Bee - but it is absolutely divine. Glasswing Butterfly is basically Nelophilia with all its smooth, cool, rainy, white floral nature, but here the cardamom is more present (YES! I love cardamom), and with a bit more floral. After a year of aging, it became quite a LOT more white floral; the heady gardenia came out with a KICK, and it's nearly but not quite indolic.
Honey Badger [Black amber, raw honey, smoked maple wood, and cardamom-infused cream] - I mean, duh, I had to try this one just for the cardamom cream. This is somehow so recognizably a NCD scent. Honey straight from the comb, dripping and golden, rich and sweet, backed by maple wood (but not really maple syrup) and a whiff of cardamom spice. Not nearly enough cardamom for my taste - but then, we all know what I'm like! I'm so glad I tried this one. Since its notes list starts with "black amber," I expected this to be quite a dark scent, but while it's quite rich, it's not ominously dark. Husband really likes this one, which is always a special success.
Hummingbird [Darting from oleander to orange blossom with ripe nectarine, hibiscus tea, and traces of tuberose] - White florals with orange and nectarine fruit notes, chirpy and cheerful. It's a juicy but not sugary scent. I love it for warm spring days - it's an absolute staple of my springtime perfumes - though I find it a little cloying in very hot weather.
Opossum [A bold nocturnal potion of Hatian amyris, soft black suede, red patchouli, freshly-turned earth, copal resin, and Peru balsam] - I get suede, red musk, and brown patchouli; meanwhile Husband, sniffing my wrist, gets pine and petrichor. Yet the combination of all these things is surprisingly gentle, not a shouty, in-your-face kind of scent. Absolutely none of the notes we're picking up on are my thing, but just about all of them very much are Husband's thing, so guess what - he immediately snaffled this one.
Orchid Mantis [Ripe Philippine mango, dragon fruit, tamarind, Indonesian teak, clove bud, sandalwood, tuberose, and a touch of ylang] - This one is bit too sweet for me on application - at first it's all sugary mango - but as it warms on my skin, the other notes creep in: more fruit (but less sugar), a bit of sharp clove for balance, and hints of woodiness and florals. As it dries, those hints of clove and woodiness amp further (and at this point, all my husband smells is cinnamony clove). For some reason, this is one of the very strongest of my NCD scents, with high longevity and even higher throw.
Raccoon [Sepia cashmere, guaiac wood, Egyptian amber, Copaiba balsam, golden musk, a twinkle of coriander, blonde oudh, resinous Himalayan cedar, and myrrh] - It's so well-blended that I can't pick out a single note individually, but something about this feels so quintessentially NCD. Right on application, it makes me think of Cheat Code [Windswept teakwood, cedar, coriander and tea are grounded in black tonka with a hint of fine leather], another one I had trouble describing, and it has a similar level of elegance and polish. Meanwhile, Husband smelled a bit of cola or sarsparilla, and noted an almost chocolatey undertone. As it dries, the cashmere and musk come forward, quite woolly and plush and just a touch animalistic. It seems a similar cashmere musk as in Arctic Fox [Soft amber nestled in sumptuous cashmere, steamed rice milk, winter white musk, and snow-covered fir trees]. If Arctic Fox worked for you, you absolutely must try Raccoon. Since Arctic Fox doesn't work on me (my skin amps that cashmere to unpleasant levels), Raccoon ultimately won't win a place in my collection either - which is a bummer because that opening is so pretty. I'll have to stick with Cheat Code for my polished, sophisticated vibes.
Robin's Egg [Dainty forget-me-nots and lily of the valley, a dollop of whipped blueberry creme, and a cozy birch nest tucked into a flowering dogwood tree] - This one has the same amazing blueberry as Grey Cat [Dry smoked vanilla, fluffy marshmallow creme, fresh blueberries, the gentlest touch of lavender and a warm cup of Earl Grey], House of Transcendence [Top notes of wild blueberry and morning fog, a heart of pale lilac and cashmere, with a base of orris and white amber], and Choreophilia [Wild violets, warm Earl Grey, Dominican blue amber, orris root, a handful of blueberries, and a touch of lime marmalade]. This iteration of the blueberry note is juicy and floral. After a few years of aging, Robin's Egg has become even more gorgeous and creamy, with that stunning blueberry and a vision of dainty blue flowers. This one is discontinued and I'm really sad about that (but you could maybe find some in the swaps if you ask around).
Silver Fox [White tea with honey and rice milk, almond macaron, soft grey cashmere and cool woodland musk] (this perfume is so popular that it is also in the Continuous Collection and available all year 'round) - Stunning. Sophisticated yet snuggly. The cashmere is the most prominent, followed by fir, the sweetness of white amber, and NCD's gentle whipped honey note. I also wouldn't have been surprised to read that copal was a note - there's just that little bit of resinous almost-smoke. When it dries, the sweetness goes away and the fir comes forward. This was a freebie with one of my orders - I hadn't actually bought a sample of this for myself, worried that I wouldn't like the rice milk (which, as it turns out, I don't actually smell), but it has since become one of my favorite wintertime scents.
Sugar Glider [Raw cotton, sugar cane, flannel flower, macadamia nut, pearblossom, palest musk, and dandelion puff] - So here's the thing, I'm wary of gourmands (in fact I always sit out most of the April Fool's gourmand collection). Sugar is listed in the notes description in the very second place, but I am a sucker for cute woodland animals, so that's how I ended up with this sample. After a first sniff in the vial, I got a little nervous about it, because it smelled very sugary, but I figured I'd wear it once, review it for you all, and then in a worst-case scenario, destash it to someone who does love sugary dessert scents. But wait! There's something strangely intoxicating about this one, and it's not really a gourmand. Immediately when I put it on, it reminded me a bit of the Sweettart-ness of my beloved Somniphilia (Love of Sleep) [Lamb's wool accord, orange blossom, barely-budding lavender, melissa, green fig, clary, cloud musk, and weightless vanilla marshmallow meringue]. I was pleasantly surprised that Sugar Glider is not at all dessert, instead more sugar + wood, and really rather cuddly. And then when it dries down, it reminds me so strongly of the blue raspberry note in Dewdrops on Spidersilk [Cerulean strands of cotton flower bejeweled with dewdrops, cold crystalline musk, tiny black vanilla beans, frozen blue raspberry, and gentle incense], except it's not "blue" (nor is it raspberry, but neither is "blue raspberry"). How did they achieve this effect? I have no idea, but it's so addictive: such a delicate, cheerful, springtime scent. It really does remind me of the experience of picking a perfect white fluffy dandelion and making a wish as you blow it. Definitely a springtime favorite.
White-Tailed Deer [Soft brown suede, golden musk, wild forest berries, and roasted chestnuts dusted with maple sugar] - I am always hesitant about suede, but was very happy when this was included as a free sample because I'd heard lovely things about it but wouldn't have purchased it for myself. It's an interesting one because my experience is of it is very different depending on distance. When I'm just smelling it as it wafts around me, it's such a warm, cozy scent, the suede mingling with chestnut and brown sugar. When I bring my wrist directly up to my nose to sniff, the suede does get a bit overwhelmingly leathery, and overtakes the other notes. Once it dries, though, that unpleasantly smoky leatheriness dissipates (even right up under my nose), leaving only the highly autumnal coziness behind. It is indeed very "golden" - or maybe a really rich, warm brown. I don't get any berries at all. It reminds me of the very stylized acorns and hedgehogs that fellow autumn-lovers love to idolize. (And for some reason, Husband gets saffron!)

Personally...

Robin's Egg, Sugar Glider, and Elf Owl are some of my TOP favorite perfumes for spring; Fennec Fox for fall; and Silver Fox for winter. Black Squirrel is my favorite of the Squirrels (in fact I ended up destashing all the others since I continue to have some issues with NCD's apricot note) - it's so beautifully dark-academia. And in my opinion, the three Rabbits are absolute must-tries (and I hold so much hope for a new Rabbit this year!). If you try nothing else from this collection, try whichever of the three Rabbits most calls your name - they're all different but all absolutely stunning.
What are you hoping for this year? Any particular animals you're keeping fingers crossed for? Do we think it'll be mostly woodland creatures this year, or perhaps we'll get some oceanic or other Critters too?

2024.04.17 02:28 shinychopstick [Sell][From US to Anywhere] Astrid, Poesie FS & Samples

Selling some full-size bottles and samples from Astrid & Poesie. Astrid samples are from Ajevie slonk decants. I've held onto the Poesie ones for a few years and they don't seem to work as well on me anymore but YMMV. Most are nearly full and tested only a couple times. I've put stopper caps on some of the larger full-sizes and samples for easier application. Scent notes below (taken from my personal spreadsheet, so formatting my differ from official descriptions).
Shipping is $5 to US, $15 to Canada. will quote for elsewhere.
Astrid:
ASTRID BUNDLE: $75 for everything (including shipping for U.S. only)

2024.04.16 03:34 Xtianus21 Sam Altman 20VC - We're Gonna Steamroll You - What are the best guidelines to follow to not get steamrolled and are hardware embedded models a foregone conclusion?

Sam Altman 20VC - We're Gonna Steamroll You - What are the best guidelines to follow to not get steamrolled and are hardware embedded models a foregone conclusion?
I think about this deeply because I believe everyone, including myself, wants to build prolific things, and increasingly so those prolific things with OpenAI's technology.
Admittedly, there have been some wandering pretenders out there who have simply tried to freeload off virtually a proxy passthrough of using ChatGPT to just render onto your application what ChatGPT already can do if you just write/speak to it.
In the past year, there have been papers after papers about prompting techniques mostly around chains of thoughts, agents, and other things related to how GPT works in its current form.
I think when Sam and others from OpenAI say, "You should build a product thinking about how future models will eventually be and behave," it is hard to grasp what those future models will be. Again, this is x the passthrough crap that deservedly those startups/ideas should quickly become washed out.
Although, I think there have been some bigger named projects that by the same account should probably be predictably dead-to-obsolete in the near future.
The Pin and the programmer out of a jack-in-the-box Devin should probably be two of those things. But for two very different reasons.
The Pin is a hardware device that, per my definition of quickest ways to fail, latching onto today's GPT is exactly what this company is doing. Shoving GPT into a connected hardware device to then make a call to GPT and give you what GPT is going to give you is something you can already do on any smartphone. Everything else is some novelty trick.
Devin is not even real and is a literal signup trick to see how many people would be interested in something like this. A) there is no way that GPT is ready for something like this even though future versions would be (so at least it passes that test). B) when something like that is profoundly ready and capable, how on God's green earth is OpenAI and Microsoft not going to be the ones bringing that to you with 1st party embedded technology? C) there is so much complexity in software development, telling people you're building a tool that will just do it for you is so fallacious right now it's not even funny. Literally, you are saying AGI is here in a very meaningful way, and it is not.
Perplexity, unfortunately, is one that I just see getting steamrolled too because again they are just a passthrough. I see Perplexity simply being an OpenAI store app.
Actually, directly embedding a model into hardware. Who on earth is going to get to do that? I will use Figure AI's awesome demo they did some weeks ago.
I don't believe, but I could be wrong, that OpenAI in any way embedded that model directly into Figure AI but instead used an API to interact with the model directly. There is still latency to worry about here in doing that. Now, perhaps OpenAI provided a dedicated server running a private instance of GPT which would bring down the latency as low as possible but still there would be latency there.
The reason why Figure AI may want to still deal with that overall is because you are getting the best foundational model today while knowing you can upgrade to a better model later. And, latency should in theory begin to get better over time. All things that Sam said to do rather than not do. The robotics and many other onboard AI systems can still run directly on the robot/hardware device.
So for Figure AI, they can depend on OpenAI and not really concern with an actual Onboard model for their foundational model, and or it could be a hybrid if they really wanted to. Probably is a hybrid for all I know.
Point is, that embedded question is a really profound one. Here's all the magic that OpenAI is doing and we may never ever get to have that in any of our plans that would require an onboard model. Is this true? Is this an expectation that we should have when planning our projects? It's a fair question and one that has super high implications that I have never really heard anyone speaking to this topic. I for one, would like to know.
If we are not getting embedded models, then I would also predict that eventually, and I mean soon eventually, we may have OpenAI hardware and Microsoft hardware rain down upon us AI-embedded hardware that you can only get from OpenAI and Microsoft.
Think about it. This IS APPLE'S PLAN. Make no mistake. Unless Apple wants an epic Blackberry moment where it gets left in the dust, they will start to rush out Apple iPhones and MacBooks with embedded AI. Microsoft is already hinting at it and even OpenAI has hinted at it with comments from Illya that the time wasn't right to start with Robots but now is the time.
Again, the point is, OpenAI will bring us hardware. There is no doubt in my mind this is how Open AI becomes a multi-trillion dollar company. The reason is Apple, weirdly (because they have done diddly with AI to this point).
Apple ripped the smartphone market from everyone's hands (until Android) because they did what Microsoft should have done from the beginning. Screw the OEMs, they won't get it right, let's just do it ourselves.
It has always been the thorn in Satya's side that they lost mobile. They cannot afford to lose Robots because robots will be AI. Install base is install base and while they can compete on the cheaper laptops and enterprise nature of the laptops market they will never recover if Apple becomes a market leader with AI install base hardware.
If you look at the Microsoft Surface brand, the game plan is there for OpenAI to do both. Here is our hardware and yes, you too could build hardware from our API. But the best has to come from us, or at least one of the best. Meaning, if OpenAI does come out with hardware that doesn't have to be a death nail to startups. But, it does mean that if one doesn't think deeply about their plans they could get steamrolled.
So, how does one think deeply about startup plans when thinking about using OpenAI's technologies? What is the road map that is more in-depth to what OpenAI is doing and plans to come to market with? In a way, they are masterfully playing the Microsoft Surface + OEMs game but at a much more rapid pace and a much more obfuscated way of understanding what will there be in the future to come. We know what laptops are but we don't know if AGI/ASI will be here next year or tomorrow or 10 years from now.
Proprietary data and proprietary hardware is all I can imagine as the two primary guiding lights towards attempting not to get "steamrolled."
When you say, plan for the future and 'but' the future is AGI, what is left for us to build?

2024.04.10 19:14 stockinvest-us AMD Stock Analysis: Technical Signals Point to Volatility, Fundamental Growth Potential 📈💻

🚀 Unlock Exclusive Insights on AMD: Get deeper analysis and expert views on AMD's latest market trends before you read on. Click Here to Dive In 🌟
Technical Analysis of AMD
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) closed the trading day on April 9, 2024, at $170.78, marking a slight increase of $0.88 (0.52%). The stock exhibited volatility within the day, with a low of $167.29 and a high of $171.6. Notably, AMD’s price is experiencing a downtrend relative to its 50-day moving average of $181.3572 and is significantly higher than its 200-day moving average of $134.05174, suggesting mixed signals in the short-term momentum but a stronger position in a longer-term perspective.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI14) stands at 36, indicating that AMD is neither overbought nor oversold, but it is edging closer to the oversold territory. The MACD (3-month) at -8.58552 signals a bearish momentum, confirming potential caution among investors. The Average True Range (ATR) at 4.82 points to high volatility in the stock's recent movements.
Support and resistance levels are identified at $168.18 and $174.23, respectively. These indicators will be crucial pivot points for traders in the coming trading session and week.
Fundamental Analysis of AMD
AMD’s market capitalization is currently $265.85 billion, reflecting a substantial presence in the semiconductor industry. The company's earnings per share (EPS) stand modestly at $0.53, accompanied by a high price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 310.43, indicating a premium valuation that investors are willing to pay for AMD’s growth prospects.
The recent announcements of collaboration with BlackBerry (BB) on a new robotics platform and the launch of the Versal Series Gen 2 products are promising developments. These initiatives could significantly enhance AMD's offerings in the robotics and semiconductor sectors, potentially improving its revenue streams and market positioning in industrial and healthcare applications.
Analysts' consensus on AMD is predominantly a "Buy," with target prices ranging significantly, reflecting both optimism and caution about AMD's future performance. Despite the high PE ratio, the strong buy and buy analyst consensus points towards a positive outlook on AMD's growth trajectory and technological advancements.
Short-Term Outlook and Predictions
Considering the technical indicators and the fundamental backdrop, AMD might exhibit increased volatility in the next trading day and the upcoming week. The recent news of collaborations and product launches could instill positive sentiment among investors, potentially pushing the stock towards the resistance level of $174.23. However, the current bearish momentum indicated by the MACD may limit significant gains in the immediate term.
Long-Term Investment Potential
The intrinsic value, as suggested by the discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis at 65.35, compared to its last close price, suggests that AMD's stock is currently overvalued. However, the company’s strong fundamentals, constant innovation, and strategic partnerships highlight its potential for long-term growth.
A potential concern for long-term investors might be the high PE ratio, which indicates a high expectation of growth already priced in. Investors should closely monitor AMD’s upcoming earnings announcement on April 30, 2024, for insights into the company’s profitability and future guidance.
Overall Evaluation
Given AMD's technological advancements, strategic collaborations, and its potential to leverage grow [...]

2024.04.10 10:13 TerribleSell2997 Enterprise Mobile Devices Market is Dazzling Worldwide and Forecast to 2030

The global enterprise mobile devices market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2029). The major factor contributing to the growth of the global enterprise mobile devices market includes the rising demand for smartphones. According to the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), approximately 165 million units of a smartphone were estimated to be sold in 2020 with a rise of 2% from 2019. Additionally, the rising adoption of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy in the enterprise will propel the growth of the market. BYOD policy implementation has seen a peak in the last few years, as organizations are looking to improve work efficiency and reduce the cost of operation.

2024.04.08 23:50 _Revelator_ Clarkson on series three of Clarkson's Farm: "Everything has gone wrong" (Full Interview)

Clarkson on series three of Clarkson's Farm:
Jeremy Clarkson on his farm: "Everything has gone wrong"
The Diddly Squatters are back for series three of Clarkson’s Farm — with pigs, Jeremy’s new hovercraft and the most thrilling rows with the local council yet! Plus Jeremy on his favourite farm machines
Interview by Tom Barnes (The Sunday Times, April 7) [very mild spoilers]
He once claimed his only talents were driving fast round corners and shouting, but as a pig farmer Jeremy Clarkson has found his calling. He has changed the nickname of his Oxfordshire farm from Diddly Squat to Piggly Squat in honour of his new herd of swine and he’s cuddling one now as he poses for a photographer, whispering to it — not shouting — as if it’s auditioning for Babe. “Pigs are my favourite animals we’ve had on the farm by a long way,” he coos to the animal, a female. “I know that cows are great, but pigs are easier to manage and very endearing.”
https://preview.redd.it/bsjfqsyqrbtc1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=752247848115b8129ff230acaaf89ce08ba47b7a
Clarkson’s Farm, the reality show that fuses Top Gear and Countryfile, is back for a third series with the familiar cast of Clarkson, Kaleb Cooper, newly promoted to farm manager, Lisa Hogan, Clarkson’s girlfriend, the land agent Charlie Ireland and jack of all trades Gerald Cooper. There’ll be more of the usual chaos: including Clarkson going full Robert De Niro with a hunting rifle, taking medicinal mushrooms and crashing farm machinery into stone walls.
It’s six years since Clarkson fled his Notting Hill penthouse to run 1,000 acres of mixed arable and grazing on the edge of the Cotswolds. Back then, his unsuccessful attempts to turn a loss-making venture into a going concern included rearing sheep (it cost him more to shear them than their wool sold for) and beef cows (the council closed his farm restaurant, making it uneconomical to rear them). Now he has turned his hand to pig breeding in a last-ditch attempt to bring home the bacon. “A cow has one calf, whereas the last bout of births we had, one of our pigs had fourteen piglets,” he explains. “That’s a lot of money.”
But life is not all hog heaven. “Behind the scenes everything that could go wrong has gone wrong,” he growls. The hottest June and wettest March in recent history have wrecked his potatoes and spring barley. His ambitious plan to revive a 1960s government scheme to replace tractors with hovercraft for crop spraying and other farm chores was an expensive flop. And he has fallen foul of regulations at every turn.
If it sounds like a litany of disasters, it is — other than it has all added up to one of the biggest TV smashes of the decade so far. In 2019 Amazon commissioned a single season, on a small budget, in anticipation that it might appeal to a niche audience. The Guardian called the series “wearisome, meretricious rubbish”, concluding it would be shunned by viewers. It went on to become the UK’s most-watched Amazon-made show. Its series two premiere won 4.3 million viewers, eclipsing the 3.2 million who watched the launch episode of the streaming channel’s biggest investment — a mega-millions Lord of the Rings saga.
Today Clarkson is guiding me round the farm in the spring sunshine, through giant puddles from recent rain. Part of his empire is in an area of outstanding natural beauty, but the soil is not especially fertile or profitable, hence him calling it Diddly Squat in 2018. It lived up to its name, making a surplus of just £114 in its first year. “That’s a thousand acres, working seven days a week,” he says. “It’s all farming pays.”
How does he explain the show’s unexpected success? “It was an enjoyable way of learning about where your food comes from. Because lecturing people doesn’t work. Television is rather obsessed with organic and diversity and sustainability, rather than where food actually comes from and the actual people who make it for you. The Kaleb Coopers and the Geralds and Charlie Ireland and so on. I think it’s been a very useful programme for making people go, ‘Bloody hell, you work very hard doing that and earn no money at all.’”
From the show’s inception Clarkson wanted to reveal the true “mud, blood and barbarism” of life on the land, and pig farming is the starkest example yet. His pigs are a rare Oxfordshire breed called Sandy and Black, misheard by Clarkson as “Shandy and Black” — “sounds like the sort of thing a northern girl would order in a Zante nitespot,” he observed in his Sunday Times farming column.
Spurred on by Liz Truss, who in a speech to the 2014 [sic?] Conservative Party conference announced she would soon be “in Beijing opening up new pork markets”, Clarkson resolved to seize new export opportunities. He planned to free-graze his pigs in woods where they’d “truffle about turning up acorns”. “Only in an idyllic Winnie the Pooh world,” warned Charlie Ireland, the farm’s resident voice of reason. “Pigs need round-the-clock care.” And so it transpired — as we see from Clarkson’s ham-fisted efforts. There was a high mortality rate among the piglets from his first litters, some of them accidentally crushed by their mothers.
“I reckoned the pigs would provide something that’s sadly lacking in farming today: a bit of genuine happiness,” Clarkson says. “Instead, it was almost unbelievably sad. I’ve never seen Lisa so upset. The film crew looked shellshocked. We had a catastrophically high level of deaths and I was desperately worried we were doing something wrong, but it turned out we weren’t, it was just that pigs are bad mothers — the Sandy and Black particularly so. That’s why it’s a rare breed.”
The series doesn’t flinch from the day-to-day grimness, along with the frustration of creeping red tape, hence it striking a chord with actual farmers.
Robert Martin, 55, a Cumbrian dairy farmer and national chairman of the Tenant Farmers Association, said Clarkson’s Farm fairly reflected the daily trials and worries faced by his members. “I do watch it and I do enjoy it. Clarkson said he wanted to increase awareness, especially among people in urban areas who maybe don’t really think about where food comes from. Whether you like Clarkson or you don’t, I think he’s succeeded and he’s done it in an entertaining way.”
George Summers and his father, Michael, farm 460 acres of mixed arable and livestock near Melton Mowbray. “I’ve never watched it on principle,” says Michael, 57, “but I understand there are a lot of people with an entirely contrary view, my son being one.” George, 19, has seen every episode of the first two series and will be watching the third. “It’s very entertaining, even though I think some of it’s done for comedic effect,” he says. “For example, when Clarkson accidentally tipped his tractor up on its back wheels, then got Kaleb to sit at the front as a counterweight, you knew that was unlikely to happen.”
Clarkson and Kaleb jointly won the 2021 Flying the Flag for agriculture award at the British Farming awards. Last May Kaleb was summoned to Downing Street to explain to Rishi Sunak why farmers were struggling — a serious message with a comic edge as Sunak did his best to understand Kaleb’s rural brogue. Ireland was there too, admonishing officials over all the form-filling devised by Whitehall. “You do need a PhD in grant applications if you’re a farmer,” he scolded them.
If there’s a narrative thread it’s Clarkson’s own journey from innocent abroad in series one — Billy Crystal in City Slickers, if you like — to horny-handed son of the soil. Now he’s less squeamish about sending his animals for slaughter, even though he confessed “I’ve got guilt” as he transported seven pigs to an abattoir. “You’ve got to eat them to save them,” another farmer reassured him. “That enables the survival of the breed.” Still, Clarkson is uncomfortable with the gallows humour of the slaughterhouse. “The butcher will want everything back bar the squeal,” an abattoir worker joked as Clarkson winced. He was determined to brazen it out, declaring, “This time I behaved more like a farmer and didn’t have any unmanly moments,” but the soundman captured the wobble in his voice.
None of it makes sense unless you’re a farmer, Clarkson admits. “You’re up all night nurturing pigs, trying to make them comfortable, trying to make them alive, then you arrive at the farm shop to receive boxes of pork chops and sausages. There’s only one expression that I can think of and it’s ‘farmer’s logic’. All farmers love their animals, then they kill them and sell them.”
In the new series the light relief comes, as ever, in the form of Clarkson’s incompetence with farm machinery — witness his Chaplinesque attempts to harvest nettles, in which he becomes ensnared in the machine and falls into a thicket. He converts an air-sea rescue hovercraft to spray highly corrosive nitrate fertiliser. The dangerous task requires a protective hazmat suit, so he recruits Kaleb to help and chaos ensues as the hovercraft careers out of control.
He’s still in dispute with West Oxfordshire district council, which, as well as closing his restaurant, refused a car park for his farm shop. But now he has powerful allies. Sunak pledged recently to free British farmers from burdensome red tape when converting barns into shops and opening restaurants as a means of reducing dependency on agricultural subsidies.
Under a government-backed rule change widely dubbed “Clarkson’s Law”, farmers will in future no longer need to seek permission from local councils to repurpose farm buildings, making it easier to sell their produce to the public.
Clarkson is delighted but says farming is still overregulated. “If you apply for a grant you have to fill in 2,000 forms and wait for 2,000 years for a man to come in a rented Vauxhall and tell you that you must stop what you’re doing because he has found a bat or some moss.”
We’re now in the kitchen of Clarkson’s hilltop house with sweeping views over sheep-cropped hills and yellow stone houses. His dining room table, as long as a station platform, rests on replicas of the Brunel arches at Paddington station. Recessed into the table top is a Hornby 00 train track. Clarkson shares with Rod Stewart a love of railways. Lisa Hogan is bustling about looking for a model train. “What would you like?” she says, rummaging through Jeremy’s collection. “We have a GWR locomotive, we have the Flying Scotsman.”
From a walk-on part in the first series, Lisa, an Irish-born former actress, has moved nearer to centre stage as she gets to grips with running the farm shop and selling cow juice (milk), bee juice (honey), Jeremy’s Juice (jam) and Jeremy’s Hot Seed (mustard). At one point there’s an unresolved hint of her and Clarkson tying the knot. “I’ve got a big surprise for you,” Clarkson tells her as they walk through a field. “Is it a proposal?” she asks. Clarkson pretends not to hear and shows her the surprise — a fallen willow tree bursting back into life. She presses him. “I’ll think about the proposal, OK? I’m not ready yet.”
When I ask her about the exchange, she laughs. “I just thought I might surprise him.” Did she make a leap-year proposal of her own on February 29? “Jeremy doesn’t think I proposed but he wasn’t wearing his hearing aids, so no one will know.”
Clarkson’s Farm is part soap, part serious. One thing it tackles is the problem of soil depletion, which Clarkson warns is a threat to world food supplies as serious as climate change. There may be only “ninety to a hundred harvests left before the topsoil is dead,” he says. The global amount of arable land per person in 2050 will be a quarter of that in 1960, according to the UN, as populations grow and soil degrades. Chemical-heavy farming methods and deforestation are among the culprits.
With this in mind, Clarkson teamed up with Andy Cato, one half of the dance music act Groove Armada and a keen organic farmer, who arrived with a plan to help Clarkson rejuvenate his soil. This involved growing beans and clover in the same field as wheat to boost vital levels of nitrogen. The idea worked better on paper than in practice, but if success is the ability to lurch from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm then Clarkson embodies it. Each of his new hare-brained schemes — making soup from nettles, or jam from blackberries sucked from a hedge with a vacuum cleaner, or venison sausages from culled deer, or a pick-me-up from powdered mushrooms — is solemnly appraised by Cheerful Charlie, who turns up like a stern bank manager to put a leash on Clarkson’s enthusiasm and remind him of food safety or stock-rearing regulations.
Clarkson’s instinct is to challenge officialdom in the manner of Kevin Costner’s hard-headed rancher in the TV drama Yellowstone. “Let’s fight the f***ers and hammer them into the ground like tent pegs,” he says at one point. “I’ve been watching Yellowstone. When someone displeases them, they murder them, take them across the state line and throw them in a ravine. I’ve been looking at that scene a lot.”
Is there a danger, I ask, that the series could slip into a cliché of the struggle between honest, hard-working locals and meddling bureaucrats? After all, life in the Cotswolds is hardly a back-breaking slog for many of its well-heeled residents. The list of local luminaries includes the Beckhams, Simon Cowell, David and Samantha Cameron, and Alex James, the cheese-making bassist of Blur.
We catch occasional references to the moneyed set in Clarkson’s Farm. Clarkson hatches a plan with Kaleb to sell hay to newly arrived townies who may be planning to keep horses. Meanwhile Lisa tries to entice them by “inviting her thin, blonde Oxfordshire friends over for a spot of goat yoga”, as Clarkson puts it — an exercise class she holds inside a goat pen.
The epicentre of the smart set is Daylesford farm shop — imagine Country Life magazine as a retail outlet stocked with wholesome organic produce. Clarkson delights in undercutting his rival’s prices in his own farm shop (“It’s £7 in Daylesford,” he gleefully tells Lisa as he prices his Hot Seed mustard at £6 a jar).
Covid accelerated the exodus of wealth from London. “When I moved to Chipping Norton about 30 years ago it was a small market town with a population of 5,800,” Clarkson says. “Today it’s still a small market town, but the population has skyrocketed to 9,400.” Kaleb admits that spiralling local land prices have put a crimp in his own ambitions. “My eventual goal is to own my own farm,” he tells me. “The only problem is the price of land. Around here the average farm is £3 million.”
If he wasn’t earning money from TV, presenting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and The Grand Tour, and writing newspaper columns, Clarkson says his farm would be under water financially — as well as literally. Thanks to the capriciousness of the weather and geopolitics, farmers never know what’s round the corner. “I’m in the fortunate position of having other income streams,” he says. “If you have two years when you don’t make any money you are screwed. A butterfly can flap its wings in China and you go bankrupt.”
Aside from the knockabout, there’s another side to Clarkson’s Farm. It’s as lovingly filmed as an Attenborough wildlife documentary, with lingering shots of hares and deer running through meadows and red kites hovering. There’s a joyful moment when Clarkson’s cows are returned to a meadow from winter captivity. “A lot of the time farming is brutal and hard,” Clarkson says. “But at this time of year, when everything is vivid and growing and bursting with life, and everyone is well, it can be the best job in the world.”
The first four episodes of series three of Clarkson’s Farm are available to watch on Amazon Prime from May 3
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Clarkson's Favourite Farm Machines
JCB Agri Super telehandler, £100,814
I went for 59 years without a telehandler and I have no idea how. It’s a machine with a telescopic arm that can lift and move heavy loads and is as cool as the kit on Thunderbirds. You will recall from childhood that we had very small straw bales because that was as much as a man could lift. Now they’re much bigger because of the telehandler. Seed comes in half-tonne bags since all farmers have one. They are the Swiss army knives of the farm. I once used it to transport crates of empty bottles, and although it’s me we’re talking about, I didn’t drop one. You can also drive it to the pub. How did the world work before telehandlers?
Robocut2 RC40 mulching machine, from £45,000
This may have a top speed of only 2.5mph but it’s a destroyer of worlds. They could have had HS2 built in 20 minutes with one of these. It has tracks and a snazzy yellow paint job, but it’s not much bigger than a kitchen table and has a tiny diesel engine, so it’s as fast as an earwig. Plus it’s radio- controlled, so there are complex electronics, which is just what you don’t want in a big wet wood. But it works. On the front there’s a rotating drum, studded with steel spiky bits. I used it to clear brambles by the pond and two minutes after starting the engine they were dust. I’ve never encountered a machine that does so efficiently what it sets out to do.
Kokan berry harvester 500S, £156,000
A brilliant machine but we couldn’t make it work. You had to get it to straddle a hedge, but to reach a hedge that was rich in blackberries first we had to get it down 200 yards of stone wall. The wall is still destroyed as a result, so that was a bit of a disaster. Most of my hedges proved too big and thick because I let them grow wild to attract insects and birds.
Kobelco mini-excavator, from £53,000
I don’t think there’s a man alive who wouldn’t have fun with a digger. Go and make a pond. No, make a trench. There was a wonderful moment while we were building the farm shop car park when Lisa was using the road roller, Gerald was on the tractor and Kaleb and I were excavating. The full Avengers Assembled. I love days like that.
Lamborghini R8 270 tractor, £40,000
I quite wanted a Fendt tractor, but they are expensive and I’m from Yorkshire. The R8 was only £40,000 second-hand, but it has 48 gears and 188 buttons and it’s impossible to remember what all of them do. It’s also huge. It was too big for my barn, so I had to build a new one. Even the front tyres are taller than me. I said when I got it that if a Lamborghini Aventador made love to a spaceship, this is what you’d end up with. I’ve never been terrified at 25mph before, but when I first drove it I really was. At the start I didn’t complete a single job without at least one crash, but I’ve got the hang of driving it.
Nettle harvester, from £230
Half my farm is brambles and nettles, so I came up with a plan to harvest the nettles for soup. At first I tried the same machines they use for harvesting tea, but it was suspended from my shoulders, so my back was soon in agony. Then I switched to a bigger device with a hedge-cutter underneath and a fan for blowing the leaves into a collecting bag. It was good at hoovering up the top leaves but it also harvested the stalks as well as twigs, dead mice and everything else on the forest floor. While I might get people to try soup made from nettles, they would shy away from a label saying, “May contain traces of deer faeces”.
K Two Bio 1600 muck spreader, from £66,000
That thing had the power of a Gatling gun. You could load it with gravel and drive it through a war zone. Actually, you could just leave it full of cow manure. No soldier is going to like being hit in the face by cow manure doing 150mph. The only problem is that when a stone gets into the muck, as sometimes happens, it gets flung at high speed out of the back. One went 48 metres across a field and somebody’s garden, through their sitting room window, ripped a hole in their sofa, went into their kitchen, hit the fridge door and broke it.
Protech P200S post-driver, from £6,950
Until these hydraulic post-knockers came along you had to use a manual one, nicknamed a “man killer”. There’s nothing that wears you out more than manually knocking in a fencepost, particularly around here where the ground is 90 per cent stone. So the hydraulic machine is a very good invention, although it’s also a scary-looking thing. It could be used in Gangs of Chipping Norton. This really would break you in half. But we got all the fences done — not terribly well, but we did a pretty good job.
Supacat ATMP 6×6, £9,000
I went to a sale of ex-army equipment and saw the Supacat. I think it was £9,000. The army used them to rescue Snatch Land Rovers that had broken down or been blown up in the desert in Afghanistan or Iraq. I thought, “That’ll be very useful on the farm.” With it having not stopped raining since December 8, it’s useful because it has big, fat, soft tyres. It doesn’t get stuck or damage the earth. It has no roof, number plates or suspension, so it’s no good on the M40, but around the farm it’s ideal. No matter what the weather’s doing I can fire up the Supacat, attach the trailer using an extremely manly Nato hitch and head off for firewood.
BHC twin-engine hovercraft, from £25,000
I like hovercrafts and this one was a lovely former air-sea rescue machine. We tried it for crop spraying. A tractor leaves wheel ruts in a field where nothing grows afterwards, but a hovercraft doesn’t, so you get better coverage. The trouble was, it couldn’t cope with any kind of gradient or, as it turned out, any kind of weight in terms of the liquid fertiliser spray. So you set off and after a minute you had to come back and refill it with nitrate fertiliser. I think it would have needed 75 refills to do one field, so it would have taken Kaleb all day. Also, he fell off. So, tragically, the hovercraft was abandoned.
