running is sometimes fun (the rush you get from beat your PB) and let's you eat things that are delicious. I'm in a perpetual calorie debt because I run so much and I'm poor 😭

I have to keep relearning the old lesson—as I am once again with this Pixel 4a fiasco—that cheap gear is not always the best value in the long run.

Not the conclusion I would've gone with but Google fans at this point aren't particularly pro-consumer

*social media. this is from August 2019 when tiktok had barely started. We can only speculate the reason for the hyper-competitiveness.

Will give props for the sheer willl required to ignore your body and do it 1000 times (even if it was stupid). I hope they learned something healthy and channeled it into an endurance sport (like marathons) because they'd go far

I'm so goddamn jealous.

first rule of english pronunciation: there are no rules. All that matters is if people understand what you mean when you say it.

I gave up on this discussion when you have to consider gin, generate, giraffe, gene, gym, etc

Also I pronounce it with the soft sound because that's what it sounds like in the bloody alphabet.

  • Battery performance took a dive after the Nothing OS 3 update (8.5-12 hours to barely 8 hours).

  • Photos seem LQ despite having two 50MP cameras

  • Noticeable green tint at low brightness settings probably due to LQ OLES displays.

  • Grievances with Nothing's update philosophy where they seem to:

    • update the (a) models first before flagship
    • not optimise performance, and
    • anecdotally make previous model's performance (camera) worse
  • Frustrated with the fact that they seem to releasing the 3a before the 3.

  • Likes the glyph system

  • still recommends for the price range but does not recommend for a "good experience"

from what we know about mushrooms and how weird they are, i would not be surprised.

Yes and it's barely started. It is exceptionally good, refreshing, and hype. It avoids a lot of cliches and shounen stumbling points (this cover character Desscara is one of my fave characters in recent years)and is incredibly clean and exact in it's writing and panelling.

at the risk of sounding like a dick, this article has close "orphan-crushing-machine" vibes.

it's gotta be the one where the professor reveals he's much older and goes to the near-death star

edit: as blueharvest said "clone of my own"

Sounds good - it's important to get those 8 hours and listening to your body (avoiding screens when you can during dark hours since that'll fuck around your circadian rhythm).

Sometimes you can get away with 6 hours in total if you haven't been overexerting yourself. I found that I slept like 9 -10 hours uninterrupted after exhaustive days but taking the naps and ensuring I have good sleep hygiene leads to me feel great with only 8 segemented sleep.

9 to 5 sucks ass.

You gotta listen to your body and take that powernap when you can (already made a previous comment about how the human body isn't built to do strict wake-sleep cycles, it's natural to have 2 separate sleeps in the same night, and historically people from early morning to noon since the sun is too harsh by then). I generally found taking a 15 minute nap after a meal is enough to get me through the rest of the day. Though it's insane that corpos expect anything more than 60% effort after 2pm when most have been up since 6am.

Take your hours back, they won't give it back to you.

 

Synopsis Mokume is a first-year college student and occult fanatic! She hunts down an older student, Kugutsu, who is rumored to attract urban legends of all kinds... What will happen when she joins the Occult Club? The long-awaited occult comedy from the creator of “Janji”, Kazuki Hiraoka!

Initial impressions:

  • Exceptionally clean and elegant art
  • Always happy to see more college-aged settings, especially in a shounen magazine.
  • Fairly funny, with a nice chuckle here and there.
  • Yokai are a bit oversaturated to say the least, but let's hope this doesn't become a demon exorcist manga

Overall, looks promising, it's releases are positioned well within the week so looking to reading this on the weekends!
