I managed to create an UART console in our convoluted codebase.
Code still gets stuck somewhere.

How did ye olde programmers manage without debuggers?

The internet has a huge range of opinions of how to make coffee in a French press.
The programmer in me who likes clear instructions cries.

1. Boil water, grind the coffee (to various degrees of coarseness).
2. Let water cool a bit, for various values of "a bit"
3. Pour the hot water in the French press to pre-heat it, then back in the kettle; or don't
4. Pour the coffee in the French press
5. Pour a little bit of water over the coffee, let it soak for up to 30 seconds; or don't
6. Pour hot water over the coffee, fill the French press
7. Stir; or don't
8. Put the lid/sieve onto the f.p. and push it down very slightly, so the sieve is just submerged; or don't
9. Wait for 3-5 minutes
10. If you didn't do 8, remove the floating ground coffee and the crema; or don't
11. Push down the sieve, pour the coffee into a mug.

This cheetah SHOULD receive regular cuddles, otherwise he MAY get sad. That SHOULD NOT happen, as his performance is degraded otherwise.

Lucky bastard.
At least I'm the camera man. And convention still has 5 days left...

Trying out Zotero

I don't even really do Barq (much (1))/other apps, because I have the (unhealthy) mindset "nothing will come out of it anyway.

And yes, rationally I am completely aware that nothing will change if I don't do anything about it.

(1) I mean, I have a profile, but I wouldn't know what to write anyway, same problem I have with my other messenger contacts

I find it extremely unfair other people get regular sex and I don't even get regular cuddles.

Achievement unlocked: Figured out what was causing the weird noise on my bike. It was an ever-so-slightly loose "cat's eye" reflector on the back wheel.

Do you give your plushies names?

EU needs to introduces legislation that forbids companies to lie.
Bullshit: " We've detected something out of the ordinary going on".
Truth: "WE WANT YOUR DATA FOR MARKETING! GIVE US OR GTFO"

I want to live in a county country

• Where there are no (significant) (political) extremists
• Where public transport is reliable
• Where politics / politicians are transparent
• Where there's a national healthcare which everyone pays

If I am very good with my text processing skills on the command like, do I get an awkward?

Irreführende Informationen...

Linker Tarif: 4 GB pro Monat?
Rechter Tarif: 12 GB für ein komplettes Jahr, effektiv also 1 GB pro Monat?

Wieso darf das so dargestellt werden?

Sometimes my mobile data doesn't work properly / is extremely slow.
But toggling mobile data off and on makes it work again.
I guess the phone is connected to a suboptimal tower?
Or the network stack is b0rked and needs a reset?
