I like stuff, games, anime, food and cooking, plants and gardening, movies and tv, etc.

PhD in Mathematics (number theory), not in academia, thankfully. Day job as a software engineer: Linux, C++, Python.

Winamp is undefeated when it comes to shuffling your music.

I miss it dearly.

Aaaaaand already got my refund.
No, I do not enjoy filing taxes, but I almost always get a refund, so yeah, I file that shit the moment I have all of the paperwork. Why the hell would I wait?!?

Scored my first billion point hand in Balatro today. The combination of Blueprint, Photograph, Sock and Buskin, Hanging Chad, and Cartomancer, with a negative Burnt Joker was just incredible. Went for a flush deck with as many glass face cards as I could possible make. So satisfying!

Me, watching a subtitled movie: this is just like watching anime, but in German.

I think it's really beautiful that Chapo trap House is still funding Virgil Texas's ketamine habit all these years later!

Great thread on improving your Balatro skills. I personally tend to advise two-pair, but the reasoning for flushes here is sound.
A lot of people are playing Balatro now, so I'm gonna redo the Twitter thread I did with general tips and tricks. Here goes.

1. Don't try to be good at everything. Early in a run, choose a favorite hand early and stick with it. For new players, I recommend flushes...

Waiting for job application responses is so weird. My first job was easy due to a prior internship, and every job since was a referral from a friend while I was still employed. Being unemployed, it's like, so I just sit here and play Balatro until one of the places I applied to calls me?!?

Applying for SWE jobs with DevOps experience is frustrating. Everyone is like "oOOoO you know how to write Ansible playbooks! Want to be a full DevOps engineer for us???" No, not really! No offense, but I applied to a C++/Python dev role.

The best part of being unemployed is the not working.

Do yourself a favor, learn how to make karaage, it is the *correct* way to prepare dark meat chicken.

Imagine a juicy chicken nugget with actual meat inside, instead of bone meal, that was marinaded in ginger and soy sauce.

Reading the Discover tab has me convinced that my superpower is "the ability to stop myself from playing video games too much".

How have some people logged 300+ hours in Balatro?!? I've been playing it for a couple months now and just broke 40 hours, and even that feels like a lot!

Started watching Severance, and my favorite moment so far is at the dinner party when someone is introduced as a Russian lit professor, and another guest is like, "oh, wow, I love literature!"

Downloaded my Spotify history and imported it into Your Spotify (link below). Let's me see every song I've ever listened to and when, ranks most listened to song, artist, album, etc. Also provides a total usage graph!

Of course, things have ramped up since starting WFH.

Banana/orange/dragonfruit smoothies are god-tier, no other flavor combinations come even close.
