Turns out I was just easily doing ~10x the daily recommended amount of vitamin C, days on end, just from eating delicious kiwifruit. 😋🥝🥝🥝🥝

Another first-time for me today, also an incredibly funny (and wonderful) one: someone voluntarily overturned their earlier rejection of me. 😂/💛🌱

英國的朋友收到了茶壺，還發了一大篇感想，因為是地球post, 分享過來，我也是第一次看見壺原來的樣子。 金繼不僅是修補，還重新連接了人，這個壼就通過4個舊雨新知才回到舊主人手中。

I accompanied her home with the idea of reducing her chance of sleeping through her bus stop since she's so sleepy. We ended up… not sleeping so early. 😩❤️

Now that the LLMs are less stupid than they were, and that their ability to search the internet and summarize information is actually getting better, I'm able to put them to much better use. I might buy some LLM tokens later.

She stayed over for two nights over the weekend. We spent a lot of time together... [redacted]. 😊 Everyone got very tired.

Bit of an awkward location (and local politics/history) there, Narva… 🇪🇪🇪🇺

🇺🇸🤦

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

I'm slowly dealing with my equinox-time anxiety by drinking coffee, gritting my teeth, and doing tasks as fast as possible. 🚂🍂

Luottamusmies, englanniksi trust me -bro

Southerly winds here have often brought precipitation, but in the cold months, it usually is a moment of warmth (e.g. raining in a snow season). This week there are southerlies, but the weather is much colder than weeks past. Autumn is solidly here. 🍂

She braided my hair while I did everyone's dishes. 🥰

My muscular strength is very unevenly (and unconventionally) distributed -- I have no trouble doing 8-rep sets of 1x bodyweight lat-pulldowns, but I have trouble with squatting the same weight on a barbell. 🙃

🏴

When someone's survival depends on not understanding something... you're not going to be able to teach them to understand it. 🧘

Kind of an unusual situation: I've somehow worked my back muscles in an intense/unusual -enough way, such that I'm now feeling significant DOMS? This almost never happens. 🤔 Time to get stronger. 💪

This is what $8 worth of potatoes looks like in a NZ supermarket. 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔

我之前聽說過海外ip 搜會有分別（自己沒用過無從證實), 原來不同手機型號都有，厲害了，中國商業🤪😂

Dream #梦 : I was walking through an urban sports field (street level), and then some park/intersection. Two gangs of people with motorbikes and guns swarm past me from behind me. I try not to trigger them by staying calm, signalling (by hand) warning in front of my chest to oncoming pedestrians.

I got 8h sleep and looks like I'm off to having a bad day. (???)⚫

This special unit of the National Guard shall be called the "Red Guards". 🇺🇸🇨🇳

I've been thinking about my illiteracy of a long recent past. Maybe it's actually just a manifestation of depression. 🤔 In recent weeks, I've regained some motivation/desire for reading, but that's almost entirelt because I treat reading as "learning theory [for life]".

Just like clockwork, the seasons change. I've just had the first night of the season with outdoor temperature apparently in the single-digits in Helsinki. 🍂 One week until "autumn-month" (syyskuu, september).

Forget about "5-a-day" -- I'm eating fruit like crazy nowadays. It's not even dinner yet, and I've already eaten like, 10 pieces of fruit? (3 tomatoes, 2 apples, 4 kiwifruit, 1 banana)

(tweet about the homeless brown woman yelling at me at the airport)

Täysin yllättävästi, näyttää siltä, et mä oon tullut kevyemmäksi Portugalissa matkan aikana. Pitäis mitata tietääkseni, onko tää tunne oikeasti totuuden mukainen… 🚶🚞🇵🇹

Absolutely fuming -- turns out I've been getting charged some €8,90 a month for some kind of bullshit "insurance" by an electronics shop, FOR NINETEEN (19) MONTHS, for a phone I don't even use (and cost me €79 when I bought it brand-new)! I've lost €169 because of this. Subscriptions are a scam. 😠

Shoulder-surfing a dude's phone while we're on a bus, being shuttled from the terminal building -- dude's reading delivery updates in Finnish. 🇫🇮🎯

My sister is a teacher and used to teach middle school and they had a person who was a Holocaust survivor speak one day, and she said it made a big impression on the kids. There is nothing like that personal connection to historical events.

I asked ChatGPT a curious question, related to my "1x BMR output day" fantasy, in which in one day, I do sufficient amount of exercises to output energy that is at least as much as my base metabolism. I wonder: how difficult/possible/ridiculous is that?

Relationship goals: coming back from the gym together, and touching each other where the DOMS hurts the most. 🥵

I've been experimenting with an interesting gym rhythm this week: going every day after a ~300kcal carb-rich breakfast, with a door-to-door (i.e. out and back) time of 1 hour, affording 30min of exercise. I do only 5 mins of cardio as warm-up, and then 4 strength exercises with mid-low intensity.

Crazy that this effect is named the "Matthew Effect". I gotta check whether it's really a Bible reference…

Landlords should have to be registered and licensed, and subject to having that licence suspended or cancelled for legal breaches. It’s all wrong that tenants are subject to the most extreme and invasive scrutiny, and landlords none at all. #kikorangi

Imagine the media coverage if a nz male had just finished 5th in the tour de france. Way to go Niamh Fisher-Black.

That was quite a moment, eh. It was just a few seconds of screen time, in the midst of a sombre retelling of the wider story of the atrocity, the aftermath, and the policy response - and suddenly this *noise* just rumbled up from across the whole packed theatre. A spontaneous reaction.

The @germnetwork.com team has been participating in the #e2eemessagingWG to figure out a way to have secure private group messaging that is compatible with ATProto. They've shipped a proof of concept of using your account to do this! You'll need to get on the waitlist as they slowly add people.

My personal experience with online safety was my school installing strict internet controls to Protect The Kids™, so I joined a hacking forum to learn bypasses. The users also taught me how to import drugs via the dark web. Then I got arrested by the FBI for computer hacking. It was all very safe.

Pōneke. Middle of winter. A single light change. 10 or so people commuting by bike trying to fit into the area we’re given. Most f the cars you see are single occupant, so not that many more people depute using ten times the space.
