Fifteen-minute run, twelve pull-ups, back stuff. No issues during the run! Except it being hot.Comments

I heard a podcast ad. (I feel like I'm good at skipping them, but sometimes I forget that the podcast is on, then I notice I'm hearing an ad.)Comments
I thought it said, "Sometimes it's hard to figure out big sprawling career decisions. Bearbe can help with that."
I was like "What is this Bearbe service, and how did they position themselves in a way to take over people's lives?"
It turned out the host was saying "therapy" not "Bearbe". -

The adapter that I thought I lost stayed on the parking garage floor right next to my car for three days.Comments

A literal edge case. I ran into a weird situation with `<clipPath>`, so I felt I should explain it, but even after eight revisions, I'm not sure I explained it well. It would actually probably work better as a screencast, but I don't have the energy for that.Comments

bizarre-piano-teacher-txt:Comments
Hi Jim,
Because our email communication is prolonged, I guess you are busy interviewing other piano teachers, which is fine.
However, to make things easier for you, I will be bluntly honest with you without any diplomatic sentence or euphemism: if you want to see a good result in your precious son's piano lesson (progresses fast and plays piano well), he should study with me. But if you only want your precious son to have something to do in his spare time, he can study with any teacher and you can choose a teacher with the cheapest fee.
Hope you make a wise decision for your son. -

Back then, death row for men was located in a prison near Huntsville, Texas, where hundreds lived in tiny cells. The men were allowed to hang out together, watch television, play basketball and go to work at prison jobs. And because they were locked behind bars rather than solid doors, they could call out to one another and talk. That was how, one day, Ford caught familiar words drifting down from the cells above him, phrases like, “I’ll cast a spell!” “Aren’t there too many of them?” and “I think you have to roll.”
When Wizards and Orcs Came to Death Row
Not the happiest story, but cool that they were able to make something of this time. -
desert:Comments
deserving; that which makes one deserving of reward or punishment; merit or demerit; good conferred, or evil inflicted, which merits an equivalent return: as, to reward or punish men according to their deserts.
I didn’t know about this meaning of the word, and I thought the phrase was “just desserts” and was metaphorical. -

After two back-and-forths over the course of a couple of weeks, a piano teacher emailed finally answered my question about her rates. It's $55/half hour, and it's only over Skype. In between, she had a lot to say about the ABRSM system.Comments
Anyway, at least we know we can go with the other option now. - Comments

I started out writing a "remember I have stuff you can get" message on Bandcamp, but it turned into a mini-story:Comments
Is it Bandcamp Friday?
[checks https://isitbandcampfriday.com/]
Turns out it is!
If you haven't gotten Sleep Funnels yet (or Sound of the Far Future or Let's Have Fun Why Not), today is a good day to do it because it's Friday, which is generally considered to be a highly rated day, and because it is Bandcamp Friday, which gives you an easy answer to "why are you on Bandcamp" if you are questioned by a hostile but dumb agent of normative enforcement. "Oh, it is *Bandcamp* Friday, so it is OK," they will think, then wander off to look at other people's computer screens and question the unusual.
Still, even though you'll have gotten through that ordeal, it's not to say that such an event is without its stresses. So, you can use the *discount code* "peels" (without the quotes) to get 25% off on anything. (25% off any Bandcamp album made by me, that is. You cannot use it to shave $250,000 off of the price of a tank.) Then, you can put the music on and space out about sleep, the future, or fun, and remediate the stress. Feel free to also give the code to anyone else, including your norms enforcement agent who may turn out to be the person who needs it the most! - Comments

Aw crud. I wore these shorts that have slippery pockets, and I put in them my lighting-to-3mm adapter that we use to be able to listen to music in the car.Comments
That adapter is now gone. Those are probably $30 now. I should burn these shorts. -

15-minute run, eight pull-ups. Also took some falls for the guy, so he could work on his tai otoshi.Comments
Hardwood floors are hard, and that’s a fast throw. You just get whipped over a leg, unlike something like ippon seoinage, in which you at least get the time in which it takes to be hauled over a shoulder to react. So, maybe I should get a mat for home, if he doesn’t quit in a month.
I found it weird that they were teaching tai otoshi to kids because it’s mechanically trickier than seoinage or o-goshi or any other the other heavy body contact throws. People that can do it seem like wizards because there’s so little body contact. Just wrist, lapel, and shins.
Now that I think about it, low body contact throws are a good fit for classes in which all of the kids are different sizes. And they all seemed to get it. -
I was thinking for a moment that you can chill inside a black hole, but your body relies on things moving in more than one direction, so I guess you’d die and come apart. Come to think of it, particles also rely on things moving in more than one direction, so I guess atoms would come apart, too. Is it just gluons or whatever moving gradually toward the center of the black hole in there?Comments
-
Huh. Black holes don’t keep things in by “pulling” them via intense gravity. Geometry inside the black hole is so “warped” that when something moves, the only direction it can move is inward. There’s nothing compelling a thing to move, though. Except maybe momentum?Comments
Gravity is curvature in spacetime, so when an object falls toward another object, it is following the curve. But in this case, the object is compelled to follow the curve.
So maybe I didn’t understand that. -

Oh man, I’m not going to link it because it’s too sad, but Eric Adams (former Black Cop) had KRS-One show up at a press conference and do a terrible freestyle in which he referred to Eric Adams as “real hip hop”.Comments
KRS! I guess this is another illustration about no person being the in the same state after forty years of interaction with the world.
