I'm not sure how you could work in IT and not believe in a higher power. When a user approaches you with a problem, and your mere presence miraculously fixes it, you are the higher power in that moment.

Question for crypto Japan people: How prevalent are places for you to cash out Yen from a crypto wallet? I'm planning a trip next year and want to know how viable this is as an option for currency exchange.

This is so nostalgic for me haha. My favorite teacher in highschool was the drunk Japanese teacher I found on the internet. https://youtu.be/-YhCXZgOz0c?feature=shared

I have developed the incredible superpower of being able to catch double spaces at a glance. Did you catch it?

Anyone want to talk about Arcane season 2? I thought it was... bad! Here's my expanded thoughts (spoilers in the replies): https://x.com/michaelofstjoe/status/1860545156627231075

Went dark over here for a bit, wasted a lot of time on X but also got really back in to studying Japanese. I'd like to make some threads from my first trip before I go on my next one next year! Still writing my book, made good progress on that too.

I'm on chapter 7 of my (millionth) revision of Act I of my fantasy novel. I have 2 (maybe 3) people lined up to beta read. Hopefully it's good enough to entice them to read the whole thing!

Writers, I am begging you, please stop memory-wiping your main characters. I know why you do it.

I was so tired last night I forgot to backup my manuscript. I'm giving up on resisting the temptation to re-read my whole WIP. Hopefully a refresher and making a few edits will get me out of this rut.

I have a new approach for learning Kanji. I will skim the rest of my Kanji book (2300ish characters) and only pay close attention to the characters and their English translated meaning. Then I will read a novel with Furigana to find the Japanese readings for the Kanji. Knowing the vague use of the characters via the skimming method + looking up definitions I don't know as I read sounds more fun than textbook reading. (I will note down all Kanji with single Onyomi readings and study those as freebies)

I'm calling a total stop to all bright white loading screens until we can figure out what's going on. Who is doing this? Why am I subjected to flashbangs on a regular basis?

The uproar over on Xitter about the changes to the TOS will go nowhere. Everyone talks about migrating to Bluesky... Bluesky has NO path to profitability and 99% of their users don't make use of the federated features. Thus, another centralized, venture-capital funded social platform that will turn into what you hate. Farcaster interests me because it solves the centralization problem and usability problem. It's venture-capital funded but *actually* has a clear path to profitability with crypto integrations into Warpcast. This belongs in /social

There are only 2 things you need to be intelligent: 1) Understand category distinction 2) Avoid word-concept fallacies

Happy to report that I did, in fact, waste time on the internet today.

I'm getting increasingly more creative in how I ask people if they've tried restarting their computer. This is an essential skill as a tech professional.
