some, to cycling

Excited to pick up a new saddle tomorrow! 😁

some, to random

I haven't written any code since I got a new bike a little more than a week ago because I was too busy riding it, feeling tired the next day and riding some more.

So if you want to increase productivity, don't buy a bike!*

Remember when you had to wait until someone came online? Now we're all terminally here

some,

@bizzacore those were the times where, when someone came online, you could just randomly say hi and start a chat

some, to Horror

I'm the kind of person who can watch films with no problem, but any with any element of horror in it and I will be too stressed to move forward

some, to gaming

I got Death Stranding like last year during its give away in the Epic Games store and I'm only now coming to play it

some, to random

I actually really like open air concerts of classical music because you can talk, eat and walk

some, to react

Just tried out (https://github.com/pitch-io/uix). Thinking about using it instead of for my next hobby project.

some, to music

People often criticize heavy usage of the metronome in practice because of its reputation to create mechanical (non-musical) playing.

I believe that, atleast in the beginning of learning your first instrument, heavy use of the metronome brings more good than harm, especially in the 50-80BPM range.

Practicing with a metronome forces you to listen actively and judge if you are too fast or too slow. It encourages you to audiate, i.e. imagine what something sounds like at a given tempo and can be a good litmus test for whether students are really listening, or just doing the muscle movements.

In my experience, a constant tempo and an absolutely even rhythm isn't the sole culprit of mechanical playing.

some,

@theLUCASTDS if building tightness with a group is the reason why metronomes are taken out, it's much better to count together to see whose pulse is off

some, to random

Sometimes I forget that I am anemic (by genes) and wonder why I'm so tired

some,

But thankfully, I am eating well and managing my energy fine by listening to the signs of my body

PeacefulEdna, to random

Milan was actually a rather mediocre writer I think. Like he was rather intellectually pretentious, but at the same time not really intellectually satisfying at all and pretty macho the most of the time.

some,

@PeacefulEdna it's something you can enjoy as a young teenager and pretend to be intellectual too

Tell me you do web development at Google without telling me you do web development at Google

some,

@danielrozenberg nonces per minute

kaitlynethylia, to Vivaldi

Ok yeah I can't even make a fair judgement on because It's too slow to be really usable for more than about 15 minutes. It's not like my computer's that old either. Does vivaldi really require a modern CPU/GPU or is it something wrong with me?

some,

@kaitlynethylia most browsers are very CPU intensive, but the real crooks are websites, which take for granted that most people today have good cpus. So there's that

dog_girl_juno, to linux

just installed arch and I3 on my second laptop. i missed this so much.. but ive also forgotten most of the keybinds so now i need to go relearn them lol

some,

@dog_girl_juno luckily not a lot of keybinds to learn!

some, to cycling

A photo of my recently acquired vintage bike, a Hercules Colorado 😊

some,

Need to re-tape the handlebars, do a cleaning on the gears and chain, and set the height and angle of the saddle

some,

@bici i'm very new to this, I don't even know what wheels they are 😅

some, to random

I have this one student who I'm trying to find an alternate timeslot for and everytime I recommend one, she has

  • swimming
  • holiday camp
  • family party
  • parents cannot send

Granted, its near the end of the school term and she is in a school where it's already holidays for them. Still though, this is a teacher's nightmare 🙃

some, to random

About to cycle to work in 32 degrees celsius weather

✅ Sun Protection
✅ Cold Water
✅ Midday Nap

mildsunrise, to random

when you open a TypeScript file and the OS infers the .ts extension as a Transport Stream and opens it in Audacity :blobfoxupsidedown:​

some,

@mildsunrise ah yes definitely :blobcatlul:

lira, to random

I really want the pores on my face to shrink, how can I do that with as little effort as possible?

I already use CeraVe foaming facial cleanser at least once a day, salicylic acid acne pads once a night

Most mornings I use a retinol thing, facial sunscreen, and a vitamin c thing all from CeraVe

But I'd like to add something in to shrink my pores, but too much work will reliably cause me to fall off of routine. So, like are there simple things I can add that aren't big time blocks like a face mask?

some,

@lira don't worry about it! Just keep your skin clean, protect it from UV rays and it will shine the way it should 😊

salsagal, to random

As much as I love using Haskell for a lot of simple stuff, lord is it hard to work out how to get the build system working and more advanced stuff working

It's something I desperately I want to get better at one day

some,

@salsagal learning about the eco system and the tooling around the language takes more time than the lang itself. Take it easy!

jon, to random

I had my haircut cut

some,

@jon is it a specific cut?

some, to random

I ordered my first mechanical keyboard and I'm super excited for it to arrive! The letters on my current QWERTZ layout keyboard is fading and, since coming to Germany, so too has my memory of the QWERTY layout. Can't wait to strengthen my memory of the position of !@#$%^&*()

some,

@raphael_hemme an acer okr213. Not yet here!
