  • I had a shirtless incident working at a hardware shop in my early 20s. I was given my work uniform, but I didn’t see any changing room, so I just popped into an empty office to change. It was just a shirt - a 10 second job - no problem. Ripping of my shirt, I heard shouting from the neighbouring office from my new (female) boss: “we have about 3 active cameras in that office, just thought you might want to know.”

    In panic I quickly had to decide between apologizing, becoming embarrased or running away. My smart ass brain landed on shouting back “if you see anything you like, speak up!”

    I was very that lucky she just found it funny.






  • One translated from Norwegian:

    “Once upon a time… But now it’s a corridor”

    I’ll supply the original and an explanation:

    “Det var en gang… Men nå er det en korridor”

    “Det var en gang” is literally “It was a time/an instance”, and it’s the main way every fairytale starts in Norwegian. But “gang” could also mean hallway.


  • As a father of a 8 month old baby, I have barely touched any of my gaming systems for the past year. Games need to be quickly accessible and possible to quit at any time for me to play. So mobile gaming is basically where I’m at.

    Slay The Spire works perfectly well for Android. I’ve been playing that a ton.

    Pokémon TCG Pocket is weirdly fun. Even though it’s encouraging microtransactions and subscriptions, it’s very much playable without making a single transaction. The TCG is decently interesting, though not without flaws. It’s still in a very early stage, so I’m interested to see how the game grows.





  • I have a hobby of doing the opposite: making undesirepaths.

    During large snowfalls, I often need to bring out the shovel and make a path, both from my house and in front of it towards the main road. I like to add turns and bends, just enough to confuse and lightly annoy, but not enough for people to consider stepping into deep snow or making their own path.


  • Absolutely this. I’ve found AI to be a great tool for nitty-gritty questions concerning some development framework. While googling/duckduckgo’ing, you need to match the documentation pretty specifically when asking about something specific. AI seems to be much better at “understanding” the content and is able to match with the documentation pretty reliably.

    For example, I was reading docs up and down at ElasticSearch’s website trying to find all possible values for the status field within an aggregated request. Google only lead me to general documentations without the specifics. However, a quick loosely worded question to chatGPT handed me the correct answer as well as a link to the exact spot in the docs where this was specified.
