Ngl reading “basic $20+ per hour job” was kinda funny

I haven’t tried eating sushi yet. I bet it will be much easier with chopsticks too.

I’ve been eating a lot of instant ramen lately and finally decided to get a pair of chopsticks and learn how to use them. I was using a fork before. The difference is incredible.

This is happening with non-luxury brands too. I was looking for a simple sports t-shirt lately and it’s actually really hard to find one without a huge brand logo at the front. Do people actually like this?

I check the metadata my cameras record every now and then. It’s not particularly useful. For screenshots I’ll make sure to not have any names or usernames visible. You can assume every outdoors photo is geolocatable so you can choose what you want to reveal. I’m ok posting a photo from the city center but not from my neighborhood.

In English even when I’m the only person working on the project as there’s always the prospect of someone else looking at it. Also my language doesn’t use the latin script and I don’t want to mix other scripts into code files. You can always write it in latin script but that’s really annoying to read. Funnily enough I wouldn’t be so against comments in another “big” language like Spanish or German.

A book called The Night by a Venezuelan author.

I feel a bit bad saying this because there are definitely worse books but this one stuck with me as the premise sounded really interesting but the book was nothing like it.

There is a review on goodreads that sums it up pretty nicely.

Literature about literature, books about books, literature about books, books about literature, literature about literature, books about books, …

I think that was the initial idea behind Pocket but no idea how it has developed since then.

The main thing is a script to stop any media playing and turn off the screen after x minutes, so I can fall asleep watching YouTube or listening to something. There’s probably already an app for that but this is pretty customizable.

Another stupid use is putting the phone on silent while using the camera app because Samsung won’t let you turn off the camera shutter sound.

Tasker. Basically an interface for writing scripts for your phone. Even if you don’t have a use case in the beginning you’ll start finding things to do with it.

Oh I didn’t know about this. You’re talking about The Familiar, right? I don’t know if I’m up for another 5 books like this but now I really want to try.

If you want something really wild by him you can try Valis. Going in blind or not won’t really make a difference.

Definitely House of Leaves. A story inside of a story, inside of a story, with all narrators being just a bit crazy. Text of different fonts, going all over the place and even upside down based on the story. Just make sure to get the physical copy.

Don’t really have a normal camera. I have a GoPro Hero 4 (ancient, I know) which I take with me swimming. Once you get used to it, underwater photos look amazing. I want to get a actual camera too but worry I’ll keep regretting not carrying it with me places. So potato phone camera it is.

Let alone there’s already a bunch of answers in that post

Improperly placed gear, such as faulty anchors, is a common contributing factor to rock climbing accidents resulting in death.

A significant number of rock climbing deaths are associated with inadequate belaying practices.

Pretty sure these are not considered as being VERY careful.

Still can’t tell if it’s AI but here’s a very similar photo from Shanghai which does seem real https://nz.pinterest.com/pin/131659989093808148/

I thought if it was real it could be from the same photographer but no luck, however there are some really nice photos by her here if you like cityscapes.

Edit: found an earlier reference to this photo from 2019 which also claims to be in Shanghai but not where it actually is.

This gave me some serious flashbacks but I’ve no idea when or why I would have watched it

Meanwhile IRL cool cybernetic implants: I’m sorry our company has been bought by Amazon and support for your eyes has been dropped. Please refer to a local surgeon to remove them at your expense.

I can accept that
