The worst thing about putting environmental sensors in your house is having a graph that conclusively proves you really are miserable
@indutny I'm impressed you're reading such a large book. And it doesn't seem simple at all. It's amazing! Congratulations on your efforts. To me this shows they are clearly paying off 😄

When I finish level 24, I'll be at 40% of #WaniKani completion.

Yesterday I reviewed and practiced some grammar. Yay me.

You’re all VERY welcome  

[Edit: Good grief, users of Mastodon. This is clearly a shitpost. It is clearly not a real card. It is clearly not a chicken. If you are getting riled up by this and/or feel the need to inform me of its inaccuracies in a condescending tone, then I’m going to have to kindly ask you to log off, embrace some nature, and maybe look up at the stars for a bit, ye?]

The Netherlands is enacting it's national heat plan this week. With temps forecast to be as high as 35˚C in the middle of the week. We need to talk about shade. Specifically, about the way our infrastucture is not designed for the new normal of these high temperatures in the summer.

In the heat of a summers day, by far the best thing a person can do is seek shade. Alas the way we have designed our built infrastructure makes this difficult. Take for example this bus stop in Amsterdam.

1/n

On my travels in Southern Europe last summer, I thought I'd check out what the locals do there. They have a lot more sun and hot weather than up in the frozen north. They have got to have solved this problem right?

This bus shelter is in Genoa, Italy. The photo sums up the design failure nicely. People having to stand behind the bus shelter because the bus shelter itself offers no actual shade in the shelter itself.

It's quite an impressive design failure.

Why cook at 350° for 55 minutes when the math says you can just cook it at 19250° for one minute?

just found out that the Windows BSOD is changing to black and I am vehemently against this for no particularly defendable reason. Crashes are BLUE dammit

I've finished #WaniKani level 23 yesterday. Onto level 24.

I like to follow song lyrics in Japanese as I listen. I'm not able to read everything, but it's still enjoyable and I get an idea of some unknown kanji and their meaning.

When I'm not looking at lyrics, I find it good listening practice (my weakest point for sure).

Just now I was listening to 君に触れるだけで , from るろうに剣心 .

I'm still utterly lagging behind grammar. But hopefully I can change that a bit in the next few days.

@lukito nice rooster
@noodlejetski @lukito ah, now, don't be a cock about it. ;)
@lukito I need a lot of these. An entire shipping container of pallets of these cards. Whatever factory it is that prints these, I want to BUY it. The entire factory.
@lukito a chickem! must pet!
@JennyFluff @lukito Done. You have used your executive function on petting the chicken.
@ozzelot @lukito In terms of life decisions, that's a pretty good one
@lukito I need a Commander deck around this.

@lukito

bad tooter!

bad bad tooter!

@lukito ​
cant cast it because it has no mana cost
@alice @lukito also, dispel malaise doesn't appear to be a triggered or activated ability so idk when it would happen.
@alice @lukito made a new version that makes more rules sense!

made a new version of the Chicken of Executive Function! this time, the ability is an ETB and it has 'miracle {0}' so it's free but you can only cast it using miracle 😋. Felt like a fun gimmick to add and also if we think of it showing up on your timeline as drawing, it all kinda works! (📎1)

@lukito yeah this is amazing
@lukito the alt text is missing the important definition of executive function: stop scrolling and get one thing off the to-do list. Humour is not achieved without this knowledge.
@lukito it worked!!!! ✨️✨️✨️
@lukito What's the cost? It looks like a massively overpowered creature if it's truly no-cost. Must keep my counterspells ready ...
@lukito that is undoubtedly a rooster 😅
@grendel84 @lukito nobody said it was a hen?

@misterdave @lukito

My bad!

Maybe it's specific to my region, but people here assume a hen when the word chicken is used. like "That's a chicken and that's a rooster"

Probably a local oddity that I didn't realize was specific to where I grew up.

Sorry about that, didn't mean to be overly pedantic about it 😅

@lukito I install the grape trellace that has been sitting in the shed for 2 weeks and end my turn.

@lukito

Did people do that? Good God, it's just a fun little post.

(And it got me to do a task I'd been putting off)

@DarkSheepArts People on here are wild.

@lukito

Well, I really enjoyed The Chicken of Executive Function!

@lukito this chicken is amazing, thank you!
@lukito ok now I have o be pedantic and point out we're not all mastodonners on this here fediverse.
@dhfir Had to or wanted to?
@lukito I'm autistic, there's at least some level of compulsive behaviour here.
@lukito @dhfir _I_ wanted them to ;)
@lukito aww crap! I better go feed my chicken!
@lukito Thanks, I needed this today, and it worked 😆 🐓
@lukito @sashag awesome! But, can I use it tomorrow 🥺

@lukito

the thing I'd been putting off only added to my malaise score.

I can now do nothing at all for the rest of the day.

@lukito I saw this and thought "ugh, do something that I've been putting off? Now? But it's already past my bedtime!"

Then had a moment of clarity, and went and brushed my teeth.

@lukito nah i'm not gonna nitpick if it's a chicken or not

i'm gonna nitpick the lack of mana cost, question the wisdom of printing a 15/20 creature (especially for zero MV), the absence of creature types....

(this is also a shitpost)

@lukito what about playfully / in-on-the-joke nitpicking?
@wolf480pl Oh that’s fine, and it’s generally obvious when people are doing that.

@lukito you'd think that, but I've been if a few situations where I did that and the person I was replying to didn't get my joke, so they thought I didn't get theirs, so they explained their joke to me.

Which is fine, but it shows it's not always obvious

@wolf480pl Yep, hence me saying “generally” and not “always.”
@lukito Um, actually, I have to point out that that chicken is not an Executive at all. It is a Middle-Management chicken at best.
