Coffee is unhealthy at the volume I drink it 🫩

Daylight bulbs are everywhere in Japan and it’s so strange. I tried looking for warm light bulbs at a local store and they don’t even stock them as an option. I do see them used in some people’s houses so I’m sure it’s not universal, but the prevalence of daylight/cool bulbs is weird to me, I’m very much warm bulb gang.

I hate that as an adult I think of things that would be interesting to experiment all of the time, many of them would be doable for a school-aged kid. But when I was a kid it was so hard to think of any interesting projects 🤦‍♂️ I think parents can be helpful to come up with ideas at least.

I bought my Dreamcast solely for Sonic Adventure 2, was so worth. I played the hell out of that

No, because it will be great initially and then gradually erode into a system worse than we have now 🙃

The game has a few subtle mechanics that are not so obvious but more or less essential for progressing deep.

I haven’t played in a few years, >!but IIRC it’s extremely helpful to funnel aggro’d enemies through doors. Not only does it make it easier to fight only one at a time, but you get a surprise attack/crit on the turn the enemy enters the door frame and “discovers” the player.!<

The best part is when they purposely use only one notification channel, so you either have to disable all of them or none of them. And it’s not because they don’t know you can’t make multiple channels, nope, it’s because some product manager figured out there’s a higher rate of delivery for marketing notifications if they don’t let users have fine-grained control. Metrics above all else 👑

No one that serious about network security wouldn’t already have a network dedicated to untrusted devices relatives could use. Definite joke, still entertaining 😂

Kotlin/JS would be my first choice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Love seeing a post about Anki, it’s a great tool. I’ve been studying Japanese for about a year with it, and my reading and writing skills have increased dramatically. It helps that I studied with formal classes in college (up to 400 level) but I think mastering a language requires a lot more than what classes can provide. I still severely lack in speaking skill but I’ll have other study plans for that later 🙈 Being able to write the joyou kanji and read/write the 10000 most common Japanese words is my current goal and Anki is excellent for that.
