Yeah, I've been watching on
twitch.tv/midnightsumo
for a couple years now, and it's a serious distraction. Mostly I show up for the last 4 hours each day, but sometimes watch lower-division which are fun.

mild inconsequential annoyance
Am I the only one who's annoyed by the fact that it has become common parlance to use the words internet and Wi-Fi interchangably?

I find it annoying to. It isn't too common that the distinction becomes important, but still!

I guess it's kinda like internet vs. web

@calvin 🛋️ The first time I heard this substitution used, it confused me. Someone was talking about their Wi-Fi bill, and I thought, "wait, that's a bill?"

Sensitive content

You know, it's weird. When you think about it, a book store or library is basically a giant nexus to an incomprehensible number of other worlds. This should really fill people with more awe than it generally does.

those are the places where I recharge my brain.
Sometimes I rest by my bookshelves at home too.

How the Book of Mormon Destroys Mormonism: RFM: 415 – Radio Free Mormon

religion: mormonism
The thing about being in the Mormon church for 12 years is that bits of it stay lodged in your brain forever despite your best efforts. I just caught myself humming a hymn, ironically enough while making my morning coffee. That just feels... wrong.

I'm in that weird zone where I'm hungry, but not hungry enough to overcome my laziness and actually cook something.

I'd rather eat out all the time, or at least do takeaway, but cooking at home + meal prep was the only way I could get my sodium intake down to reasonable levels.

(My BP stubbornly remains high, tho.)

These days I continue it because the closest restartant (that isn't a food truck or also a convenience store) is a 15 minute drive away, I think.

Server's been unstable lately. I'm not sure if it's a spike in bot traffic or a DDoS. I'll have to look into it and take measures accordingly.

So I think at least a part of my problem is the browser on my tablet. This problem only seems to happen when I'm using that. I'm still going to take measures to keep Meta/Amazon/Bytedance's bots from crawling my server because they're all over the access logs and they're certainly not helping matters. Also, they have absolutely no reason to be doing this at all.

So, I watched this YouTube video on the origin of the concept of imaginary numbers. While the content was fascinating and presumably well-researched, my brain couldn't stop looking at the abacus prominently displayed on the guy's desk. It was upside down for the whole video.

Testimony Gunfight: RFM: 412 – Radio Free Mormon

I keep wanting to resurrect my homemade 8-bit CPU project (heavily inspired by Ben Eater's breadbord computer). One of the changes I want to make is to have a variable speed clock module that you have to manually turn a crank to run. The faster you crank, the higher the clock speed.

Is this practical? Not in the slightest. It would be really cool though.

Dear grocery store I was just at:

If you want to play the game of making fake "security scan" announcements over your PA system, it might add to their credibility if they didn't sound like they were made by a professional voice actor in a recording studio.

Just sayin'.

Instacart gripe

So my partner and I do Instacart to help make ends meet. We have supposedly opted out of heavy orders,* and yet we were assigned an order with three cases (40 x 500mL) of water. That's 60kg (assuming negligible packaging weight).

This begs the question: what exactly is their threshold for what is considered a "heavy order"?

* because they don't pay anywhere near enough for us to destroy our bodies like that.
