I can't believe nobody wants to own the number.wang domain. Seriously

Sun Tzu was a wise man:

Wow, this website sells work gloves with RPG-stye stats: "Tear resistant 2. Puncture resistant 2"

Currently investigating what enchantment or buff I need for crafting Puncture Resistant 5 gloves...

When will people stop using Windows 10 for anything in public spaces? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Looking at the Monday-Friday tram schedule, I just realized it shows that tram usage here has a bimodal distribution, formed by two gaussian lobes centered at 8:00 and 17:30, and with a much narrower variance for the morning rush #NerdyMoments

My god the "Woman in lotus position" emoji is a perfect example of the Apple vs Google vs Microsoft design philosophies

Apple: maximum polish and detail
Google: it's functional. It's a woman in the lotus position. Period.
Microsoft: The woman is lacking a lot of detail, and she's not even in the correct pose

Sometimes I think programming hasn't advanced at all since I was 8 and I got my first computer. It's still a bunch of text in a file after all.

But then I remember how that text used to look like and how it looks now and hey, at least I don't want to gouge my eyeballs with a spoon anymore!

Also, qbasic vs rust. We _have_ advanced a bit

So... apparently this is how a teammate who's living in Florida deals with hurricanes.

"A team of Swedish archeologists recently excavated what appears to be an ancient transportation device..."

Hah! And this gave me an idea for generating uniform random values on a circle really fast. This is gonna be useful 😊

Ok, there's still a _bit_ of clustering and I'm not sure where it's coming from, because there shouldn't be any. I'll investigate tomorrow...

Once again I bumped into the NeesonHashMap, which has a... very particular set of skills
(it's very fast at finding things)

I absolutely love the name... And the ascii art 😄

I'm building this bed for the kid.
It has 16 slats that support the mattress.
Each slat has 2 sides.
Each side has 2 holes.
The slat holes are mirrored on the frame.

16 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2⁴ * 2³ = 2⁷ = 128

My programmer side is pretty amused by that.

My woodworker side is really tired from having to drill 128 individual holes 😭

Wife did a cardboard house for our kid, and she told him "daddy will make a key for the door".

Well, 2 days later, it's turned out pretty well!

Sweden: the country where the Swedish Church is a pretty important figure... and then you have a chandelier made with fake human bones in a children's museum 🤷🏻‍♂️

One thing that surprises me is how Spain has many super savory yet simple dishes that haven't become well-known outside its borders.

One such dish is this: eggs, potatoes, Spanish ham strips and small peppers (these ones are Padrón peppers), fried with some garlic in olive oil, add some salt, and you're done. Not exactly healthy, but tasty and nice.

This was our dinner today and I am fuuuuull😊

Even after 3 years living here, Sweden still surprises me. This is a children's book that's sold in the biggest bookstores in Sweden right now. The title is literally "Naked butts" (or maybe, "only butts"?

This seems to be the author's blog: https://blogg.mama.nu/annikaleone/2019/04/12/proffssminkad-ny-outfit-bokrelease/

I'm at this playground in Stockholm, and there's this drawing of a Windows XP dialog in there. The dialog says: "File not found. Do you want a yoghurt instead?"

The actual WinXP should have had the same text
