Huh… When setting up a family member's new phone, I noticed the Pixel Weather app uses haptics (LRA?) to silently mimic the feeling of rain pitter-pattering and the booming of a thunderstorm during those weather conditions. I wish we had more of this elsewhere - it's not just games that benefit […]

A friend shared this entertaining, technical deep-dive into how speedrunners broke a rage game in a competition set out by the developers.. and it was fun to see everything unfold: https://youtube.com/watch?v=yIpms96cr1o "How Speedrunners Broke My Rage Game (Get To Work)", 1h:4m:50s, by Isto Inc.

The trolley problem, but it's actually a trolley intersection, and you've been chosen to direct a flow of invites among friends where you're not entirely sure who will get along with whom but you know certain folks that collide with some other ones… Okay maybe it's not a trolley problem at all […]

One of the best simple things I've done: creating a monthly recurring calendar event to reach out to a couple of friends who forget to reach out to me but keep meaning to.

[Mental Health (−): tiredness] Despite everything, it's still me. (Nothing major of note, just.. kinda worn out. World events, a variety of random social tensions, work, etc.)

Fun data-fox fact: 180 lbs / 82 kg is a good starting point for weighted blankets. (…for those not familiar with weighted blankets, this is around *10 times* the typical recommended weight of 15-20 lbs/7-9 kg. I am an outlier and should not be factored into the standard recommendation.)

"I'm not *that* tired…" *Proceeds to pass out when briefly laying in bed.. only to wake, then pass out again, and oops now it's past midnight* Okay, point taken. I'll sleep after I get some stuff wrapped up, which I meant to do before sleep.

First update to refsheet in 7 years, and in practice it's been over 11 years: https://yip.vulpine.engineer/@digitalfox/110399017046305005 (I love being able to edit ancient posts) A truly revolutionary change, I know… Credit to @razra who iterated on these ears while making this data-fox's […]

It only now occurs to me that the phrase "Cool beans" could mean: 1. That's neat / you're fine / don't worry. 2. You forgot to put the beans on the stovetop/etc to warm them up or cook them. 3. There's a giant sculpture of a bean in your city and it's cool (I've only seen photos of this). 4 […]

[Mental Health (soft negative): tired] I'm so tired on multiple levels. Not tired of any individuals, to be clear. Tired of the world (including politics), anxiety, work, responsibilities, etc. I just wanna spend time with friends.

You cannot RELEASE yourself. You cannot REGAIN yourself.
