Having such a lazy Sunday! Reading blogs, listening to Twitch. Talking about blogs, I am currently only following three:
After many years of following tech related blogs I grew tired of just that. It is refreshing to read things on a wider variety of topics, where tech might be in it, but not the main topic. If you have any recommendation, let me know! You can use the “@” next to the note time for that.
random tubesI have been meaning to mail a parcel for the last three months. I think today is it. Got to hurry, though.
Mum’s 79th birthday was the last day I drank alcohol (one beer). I shall not touch alcohol ever again. Not a grudge against it, I just didn’t like it much to begin with.

rants tubesGoing through a big FOMO with all these buy-to-have promotions that Blizzard is doing, in anticipation to the game’s release. I am sort of a completist, and can’t deal with promotions that require a $$$$ “investment” (for obvious reasons).
gamesTruly wishing, and seriously considering, to take on drawing/painting classes. Now the question is, will I find any free of charge?
Having grown tired of seeing “Added or edited a note, or tweaked something.” on the commit logs for these notes, I have now tweaked the new note script to ask for a commit message. This is the maiden voyage, let’s see if it works.

It works! Added editing old notes too. Considering migrating from the vi editor to Typora for any note with media in it.
On caramelising onions, and the lies recipe writers tell:
In truth, the best time to caramelize onions is yesterday. Often enough, you need to have them ready before you can start on the rest of the dish.
That’s so true! Caramelising onions is also a test to anyone’s patience, for sure.
food“Everyone wants a foldable phone, but most of us can’t afford one yet”, a headline on CNN. No, I don’t want one. Pff!
After eating too much on mum’s birthday, and not doing any cardio yesterday, and oversleeping today, I felt guilty and went out walking/running. It was not fun, with 30°C temperature. Showered and fresh, I feel great now. Not for long, now Kim wants me on errands. Heeeeelp!
family meNot long ago I found someone’s Notion’s site. Notion allows you to publish your notes on the web, and create a rather homogeneous site. That person’s site was very interesting and, following the web fashion, I went from person to person—all of them on Notion—reading their daily stories, their journals. True journals. It was so interesting! Then I lost track—you know, you close tabs, you stop for a while, and then it is all gone. I have been longing to find them again ever since. I have searched, follow links leading no where, to my despair. I still haven’t lost hope, though.
tubesWeekend, here we go again. What would it be this time? I will settle for nothing!
It was recently on the news that the IRS is building his own online tax filing system. A spokesman—from the company behind TurboTax—reply was simply unbelievable:
“A direct-to-IRS e-file system is wholly redundant and is nothing more than a solution in search of a problem,” said Rick Heineman, a spokesman for Intuit, the company behind TurboTax. “That solution will unnecessarily cost taxpayers billions of dollars and especially harm the most vulnerable Americans.”
As a commenter on Hacker News paraphrased:
tubes“A fence around the chicken coop is wholly redundant and is nothing more than a solution in search of a problem,” said Sly the Fox. “It will unnecessarily cost the farmer thousands of dollars and especially harm the most vulnerable chickens.”
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”.
If everything were to happen the way you want it, wouldn’t it be boring? It would be nice, though, if it happened at least once…
thoughtsStarted to watch “A King’s affection” last night. Upon seeing, on first episode, one of the twins being killed, I completely lost all desire to continue watching. Let’s see what Kim brings next.
kdramas netflix seriesThe British monarchy—or any other, for that matter—is an absolute clown show. Can’t believe that in 2023 there are still “kings” and “queens”. Anyway, moving on.
rantsI have used chopsticks for almost 25 years now. I feel more comfortable eating, and cooking, with chopsticks than I do with forks and spoons. When a spoon is needed, I also favour the “Chinese spoon”. And yes, I use the “standard grip”. I find it far superior to any other but, there are ten thousands ways to use chopsticks.
I am experiencing a time blend. That is, days are seemingly mashing together, and I am temporarily losing the notion of time. Not a good feeling, and it is driving those around me slightly nuts.
All tasks planned for the weekend completed. Monday came faster than I wanted, but that’s not new. Let’s see how this week goes. So far, so good!
Seriously considering on getting a second PS5 controller. Then I will have to get a charging station, and a $70 thought becomes $100+. Just like that. Hmm.
gamesWhy would any associate justice on the US Supreme Court by exempt from the law? Why do they enjoy such impunity? Who watches the watchmen?
politicsLast time I fell when running I was 13 years old. Today, past my 0x32s, I fell again also while running. I figure it isn’t a record, but a pretty good average, right? Knees, elbow, and hand. As in they were all eagerly waiting for their next turn. Kim asked “How?”, and I replied “I wish I could re-enact it for you, but it kind of hurts now.” 😂
horsie meFrom “Always be my maybe” (★★★☆☆) (which I saw yesterday), spoken by Keanu Reeves:
“The man who embraces his mediocre nothingness shines greater than any”.
So funny! The movie might have low ratings, but it was entertaining. Thank you, Kim, for forcing me to watch it. I enjoyed it!
