Getting an anki card where the "easy" option is 19 years feels very good.
I won't be seeing 高い until 2044 lol

それってブルースカイでｗ

Chalk and dirt washed down the drain /
Like my wordle streak

takes almost exactly 1 minute to do a full refresh of all 3 (since I'm driving it off 1 pi zero, and you only get enough pins to update them in sequence)

Play REGOLITH / TIC-80 a space game

After github.com/NixOS/nixpkg... lands, you too can play tic80.com/play?cart=4290.
As I said, it is a nix/10 experience

3 hours: fixing tic-80 package in nixpkgs
1.5 hours: beating friend's tic-80 game
1 hours: misc updates to nixpkgs PR

overall a nix/10 experience, would nix again
Truly another year of the nix desktop

5004 Consumption Tax Exemption for Exports (for Non-residents/Visitors) (FAQ)

not a serious suggestion, just throwing paint against the wall to see if it dries

yen weak, tourism big.

The bluetooth usb adapter branded 'Elecom LBT-UAN06C2' seems to work fine with linux (kernel 6.13.5 fwiw).

Look at this train. I like the pretty rose-gold color.
It's a JR 737 series train.

Also, first example is ofc inspired by Carl Sagan's "There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on earth".

Anyway, the one that just came to mind (friend's visiting kyoto) is "These days there are more tourists than temples in Kyoto".
I think this one works because it almost pattern-matches to the common "too many tourists in kyoto" complaint, but again, scales are out of whack.

I like "illogical comparisons", like "there are more grains of sand on the beach, than there are planets in the solar system". Just totally out of whack scales making them meaningless, but for an instant, it almost sounds like it'll be interesting.

Is there a better name for these?

A picture of a rock

Look at this rock I found. It has maple leaves on it.
If you go to Hamadayama Park you can see it too.

Woo, successfully managed Advent of Code 2024 in Nix (if a little late)!
The graph problems continue to be super slow for nix.

This time around, I tried using tvix as well, but in practice it was too slow to be usable on most problems. It has neat error messages though!

Waiting a day worked! I dunno DNS propagation or something

Today in confusing (to me) japanese loan words: ユーモア (yuumoa). From the english “humor”, but I couldn’t make that connection without a dictionary.

Japanese friend complementing someone’s climbing in english: “Your form is very beautiful.”
I could only think of the hungarian phrasebook sketch

googling said to change it to a default handle and then back to a custom one, but that got me back to an invalid handle; I guess I'll just leave it be for now

the plural of wug is wug
