I love Go and totally forgot it was a Christmas movie.

Xiang kai shek. I can see your thoughts.

Won’t somebody think of the tech moguls?

It is presumptuous to assume that my life is important enough to need documentation.

I wrote a Monte Carlo simulation of an electron microscope lens given an input file with the number, arrangement, and power of lens elements. It would then calculate focal length, aberration coefficients, and display a graphic representation of the range of beam paths.

2 is the best of the trilogy. 1 was just OK and 3 had its moments but failed to capture the spirit of 1 and 2.

“Death by exile” was pretty funny though.

Yeah it’s a comedy about relationships. Pass the popcorn.

I still play a phone sudoku game from 2009. I would still play StarCraft and Warcraft 2 if I had hardware capable.

Like white male landowners? They represent our interests!

Start exercise today. Younger folks gain strength and speed much easier than old people. Lack of physical capability kills the elderly, so the more strength and stamina you start with and work to maintain, the longer you will be mobile.

Do cardio and strength exercises. Endurance should be at least 80% of your cardio, that means slow. Brisk walks or slow jogs. For strength training focus on big hinge movements like squats. Start out small, body weight exercises, and go from there. Get some time with a trainer to check your form.

Be careful, get tested and dose accordingly. Wife and I took the 5000 iu vitamin D daily and she tested too high so we backed down to 1000.

I have not noticed any drastic improvements but I am generally healthy and in good spirits and I live pretty far from the equator.

In other news, a million people use openai???

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero's_journey

The Meeting with the Goddess - This is where the hero gains items given to him that will help him in the future.

Atonement with the Father/Abyss - In this step, the hero must confront and be initiated by whatever holds the ultimate power in their life. In many myths and stories, this is the father or a father figure who has life-and-death power. This is the center point of the journey. All the previous steps have been moving into this place, all that follow will move out from it. Although an encounter with a male entity most frequently symbolizes this step, it does not have to be a male—just someone or something with incredible power.

It all seems like a stretch to me. Someone found/created these in a story, maybe some other folks repeat the pattern, but some significant portion is just errors in our pattern recognition, people applying these themes post-hoc.

Eh. Even mediatek chips are getting to the point where they’re enough. Chip doesn’t really matter anymore.

As an iPhone owner and former pixel owner, pixels are more premium, cost less, work better, but depreciate faster. I look forward to the day I replace this with a pixel.

This is a tough one for me. I want refillable deodorant for zero waste but cannot obtain it locally. I use Wild without a subscription, just ordering a year supply once a year to minimize shipping impact. I use a single dispenser because more feels wasteful so I only use once scent at a time.

I got sick of all the Pidgeys so quit after a week. I did come back to it eventually… and then quit again when they over-enshittified it

Don’t forget to circumcise them!

Convert them. Everyone is weird in some way, find their weird.
