The first week at any job is always exhausting. There’s a lot to take in, and a lot of active decision-making to do. It gets better fast when a lot of small things start going on autopilot.

Long commutes add to the suck.

I speak Swedish from Finland. Similar variation as Sweden’s Eurovision entry.

I always say that thinking before speaking is a bit like wiping before going number two.

Maybe that’s why I don’t have any friends.

Me, too. I’ve got some extra buoyancy on account of being fat.

While servicing my sailing yacht I dropped a part of the furler in the water while docked. A new piece was stupidly expensive and would take two weeks to get, while I was cruising on a schedule.

So I dropped the anchor and climbed down the chain to look for it. At the end my wife found it. We probably spent a good three hours diving and feeling around in the soft mud for it.

Meow!

DIPSTICK to enable chests in rise of the trial. SEEYA for god mode where the protagonist just walks around with his hand of God yawning at how boring it is when there’s no challenge. CUJO for dog mode.

Also, LONDON and NODNOL to enable/disable fog.

I won a keg of beer on the entry ticket to a local beer festival.

A local hotel/chateau had organised it. They had failed with their marketing, and managed to pick the same weekend as a much larger beer festival in the same city.

I got ticket #26 on day 1, Saturday. I don’t think they sold more than ten tickets after me that day. I walked past with my dogs the following day and there were like four people there.

Oh, and I also won the demo competition at a local demoparty. First prize was a bag of chips and a brush for doing dishes.

And the 64k intro competition at the biggest demoparty at the time. First prize was a big-ass box of sponsored hardware - graphics cards and processors and stuff.

They planted two plum trees and one cherry tree. I picked so many plums this year. Still have a bunch on the freezer ready to go in pies. Made two batches of slivovice moonshine back in the fall just so they wouldn’t go to waste.

Pants and shoes I try and buy in-store.

I’ve got my go-to brands for shirts and underwear that I know fit well, so I usually just buy a shitload when my old ones are worn out.

Outerwear is 50/50%.

Most online retailers will let you try and return goods. In the EU you can return anything bought online within 2 weeks, no questions asked (by law).

A lot of fast fashion stores might just burn returns, others might sell them at an outlet. And it cuts into they already thin margins. I try to avoid returns.

Not quite Schrödinger’s cat, but in programming we have Heisenbugs named after Schrödinger’s peer.

It’s when you have a bug/crash that is not reproducible when debugging it. Might be that you’re reading some memory that you’re not supposed to, and the debugger just sets it up differently. Maybe you have a race condition that just never happens with the debugger attached.

Knew several as I was wrapping up uni. Had lots of fun partying and doing local trips with them.

I married one and moved to her home country for a few years. Now we live together in a third country.

Just about to go to bed with 2h51min screen time.

Baby won’t nap unless she’s in the stroller, so a lot of that is Pokémon Go while trying to get baby to go down for a nap.
