The rational me doesn't believe in ghosts.

Nevertheless, after a scary movie or something like that, if I hear a sound or see something resembling a shadow in my room at night, sometimes it's enough to scare me - for a few moments, of course - and I "reinforce" the bed covers over my head and body. The power of suggestion, in the dark, is strong.

I've always slept with the covers over my head since I was a kid, I know it's because of fears I had as a child. I blame "Evil Dead I" for that. I shouldn't have seen it at that young age, hehehe. My grandmother also has a few of what she calls "true" stories (that happened to her), that she believes involves ghosts, and she used to tell them when we were young. That can also be a factor.

I still have the habit of covering all my body when in bed and I'm so used to it it's almost natural as sleeping. Besides, I like feeling that my ears are warm, hehehe.

But yeah, I'm a rational person, I know it's my mind playing tricks on me. But, in the moment, it's stronger that the rational me.

Although, there have been a few times when I smelled a flowery scent late at night in my room, kinda like a perfume. Without any reason for the smell to be there - I was just sitting on the computer. The scent appeared and lasted probably less than two minutes. This happened maybe 4 or 5 times a few years ago, and hasn't happened since. Maybe I was visited by a perfumed ghost of a woman...? Who knows? ;)

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
