Is 50 hours of reading per month enough to pass the N1

Finished reading the second installment of World End Economica and this time it only took me 6.5x the average (native) read time vs the 7.3x for game 1. Progress!

I think the sort of person who submits their reading times to howlongtobeat.com is probably heavily biased towards fast readers anyway.

I've become very passive with my music listening these past few years and I can trace the problem to the exact minute I installed Spotify just to "see what it's about".

I hate that I pay for this shit. I hate that it's composed entirely of dark patterns even more. It's also evil.

I measured 47 degrees in the shade just now 🫠

There's a fun little coincidence in the text-emphasis-style CSS property where you can apply an "open sesame" on text.

I thought the 疵瑕 I encountered looked a little off. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a 瑕疵! You're not fooling me Japanese language!

It's fuk'n HOT. Can't wait for that casual 20 degree drop.

I covered our biggest windows with tarp this year and it's made such a big difference this time around. I mean, it's still hot as fuck but at least the AC is sort of keeping up.

Check this out. I asked google an innocent little question and 12 of the 20 results on the first two pages are about AI, which has nothing to do with what I searched.

On the subject of anthropomorphizing computers, I recall a simpler time when there would be heated internet debates about whether computer programs should say "please".

"Please select a file"
"Please wait..."

We've come a long way.

Some light reading for today. When I bought this I told the clerk I wanted the 日本語バージョン instead of the 日本語版 and I'm still cringing two months later.

Yeah it's not completely wrong but I had 5 minutes in the queue to rehearse my line and still fucked it up.

I found out you can simply block one (1) URL to negate bsky's age-gating so I blocked in my router and all is well, at least for now. Works for the phone app as well. Very timely with the influx of artists today.

(you do need to clear storage for the app but it's a small inconvenience).

Our fridge hasn't been cooling well recently and today it was room temperate. Great problem to have at Christmas! Santa's been watching that's for sure.

Anyway look at these condenser coils. Never cleaned in 15+ years. Didn't stand a chance against my aliexpress air blower. Hoping this fixes it.
