An orange in an apple orchard
Part of me thinks the genetics and upbringing assured that I’d be capable of eating like a proverbial horse. Part of me thinks of I wanna live to die an old fart, I should probably exercise more and eat less.
Willow on the other hand wishes she could swipe my tuna.
Duck you, autocorrect! Ducking, duck you, autocorrect!
In a more perfect world: there would be a personal coffee droid hovering a few meters from my head, like a mobile keurig that dispenses coffee, and shoots cookies like a pez dispenser.
Ahh, an idiot can dream.
Watching Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious on Hulu, has been full of cackles. It’s not the same kind of cackling as Konosuba, but much cackling non the less.
I’m also pretty sure that the goddess will have a stroke by the end.
Comfy is the natural state around here
The negative points are pretty much why I haven’t used paper notebooks very much since my teens. Having a pile of stuff to sort, revise, and remove the cruft from: is a problem that doesn’t scale. Or as I like to remember: after about three binders, I’m pretty much done and hate dealing with heaps of folders.
Most of the advantages I sought came from having a digital file system. Typewriters never really did it for me the way text edited and word processors do. But as a consequence of funneling everything down the word hole: you lose the freedom of the page.
One of the things I’ve enjoyed about having tablets is the ability to have my tablet alongside as I work. Lean over, and swipe words into my textual notes, and then shift back to my work. Evernote also works pretty well in that it optimizes for the more word processor like nature of many of my work notes, yet makes it easy to merge disparate bits of information from external resources. Including handwriting, images, documents, scripts, etc.
Tablets open up greater ease to get off the beaten path of the word processor: while retaining the ability to keep it as simple as WordStar. Especially when you have both a stylus and a keyboard available to aide your note taking.
Side effects of a seven year old computer:
Encoding with My Anime HEVC/AAC profile, which favors quality over size, runs at about 9 fps on my Core i5-3570K. This works out to roughly an hour per ~24 minute episode. Or roughly an entire day worth of taking over my processor when there’s a lot of episodes for HandBrake to crunch through.
On the flipside, I was about to get one of my favorite anime off eBay for less than half the going price on sources like Amazon.
Which coincidentally, runs around ten hours of video content. Thus it’ll probably be tomorrow night when my desktop stops melting from the encoding, lol.
Complaints Mounting About iOS 13.2 Being ‘More Aggressive at Killing Background Apps and Tasks’
Hmm, I guess it isn’t just me that has felt that things have been reaping in the background a bit more than normal.
The problem with digital reminders: notification systems.
The problem with paper reminders: which stack is my notepad in?
And then there’s times where the upper limit on human multitasking collides with actual task counts 🙁
FML: noun; words uttered when sorting your Steam wishlist by price during a sale.
Not going to share the words for when 30 – 80 % makes half one’s list under $10, lol.
