I might follow you if you're learning Japanese.
That's what I like tell myself at least. At any rate, I'm not too fussed about the slow reading (it's difficult text with a difficult subject matter). I'm just relieved there's some measurable improvement.

The mining will continue until they stop making words.

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.

The only sensible thing to do here is to start streaming my FLACs

Oh get fucked

I've preserved my playlists with this nice open-source playlist exporter :
exportify.app

I don't think I'll pick up a new music streaming service for a while. I'm going to trawl through bandcamp trash like a starved rat and see what I find.

I suppose we, too, could become business-level after we buy your $250 flashcards? Forgive me for being skeptical but this just reads like a shitty ad.

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.

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.

I've always been firmly in the "no" camp. And I'm sure we could have a heated internet debate about who's right (me) even today. Microsoft agrees though. (I couldn't find the right word for how it feels but "ingratiating" nails it).

I did eventually get the 112%. No chance I will attempt Pantheon of Hallownest. That does not feel like a good use of time, though there's a part of me that yearns for it.

Sadly I have to pay the fun tax now so it'll be a while before Silksong.

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.

It did not fix it :(

I found this after opening it up. That looks bad! I'm learning so much about fridges today. Some part of the defrost capability isn't working and I don't have the tools to diagnose it so I'll be giving it the hairdryer treatment every week or two until I figure something out.

It's like when you get a haircut but for your fridge
December 23, 2025 at 5:21 AM
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.

Only thing I have left is the pantheon. I'll take a break before attempting it.

I really loved the vampire boss fight. Best part of the game for me. Everything else feels really slow by comparison now.

And they didn't even do it right. The legislation compels the platform to block accounts entirely, but they've instead hidden posts tagged as adult content and turned off the chat feature.
