返日本之前兩家人一齊坐埋食咗餐飯，恨孫恨到流晒口水嘅老母喺席間開我大拖，話如果下次唔帶多個返嚟就唔使再返嚟。

老實已經被佢勒索到無咩感覺，知道點講都好佢都唔會改變，就係仔女必須要如佢嘅願做人，但喺另一半父母面前咁俾佢爆著實難堪，難為對方父母都好努力去講說話幫手打圓場，但家母嗰種全天下佢大撚晒嘅態度仍然依舊。

感動嘅係第二日我收到伯友一封好長嘅msg，除咗勸我唔好嬲阿媽，亦都講咗好多說話去安慰我，我估佢都睇得出嗰晚我有幾尷尬。

忽然諗起唔想生細路嘅人大多數都唔多想出世，伯友識咗我之後呢十幾年周不時同我講，有時我會諗如果你係我生嘅咁你話幾好。咁多年嚟父母都唔記得我生日，唯有佢年年準時送上祝福，我打電話俾佢傾偈仲多過搵我父母傾偈。

原生家庭係點無得選擇，但有時回望，我覺得自己仍然係幸運，因為我後來遇上嘅好多人都俾咗好多好意同愛俾我。人去數自己無啲咩可以數到下世都未數完，我數口唔叻，我鍾意數自己擁有啲乜，有時都覺得自己幸運值都叫點好點滿，因為遇到好多好人。

낮 동안 우리를 활기 있게 하신 저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님,
당신과 함께 있으리니, 자는 동안도 지켜 주시어 편히 쉬게 하소서.

"8. 저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님, 당신께서 오늘도 저희를 거룩한 탄수화물로 먹이시고 지켜주셨음을 감사드립니다."

🍝 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님께서 여러분과 함께.
😋 또한 주교의 면발과 함께 하소서.
🍝 기도합시다.
저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님, 이 밤을 편히 쉬게 하시고, 거룩한 죽음을 맞게 하소서.

AniFem 이 리뷰 섬네일만 보고 열었는데 리뷰어가 첫문장부터 나랑 똑같은 생각 하고 있었어... animefeminist.com/tune-in-to-t

Tune in to the Midnight Heart – Episode 1 - Anime Feminist

A perfectly okay romantic comedy that feels more grounded than most sexualized teen romps by presenting a cast of characters that feel like slightly more than average high schoolers.trying to find their way through life.

Pebble launched a smartwatch in the 2010s, received VC funding, grew to hundreds of employees and then sold to Fitbit in 2016. Bye-bye Pebble. Now, it's back, self-funded with a staff of five, and under the control of its original founder, Eric Migicovsky. @ieeespectrum talked to him about the the three new Pebble wearables, e-paper, open-sourcing, AI and more. “I just love the idea of a fun device that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I love looking forward to gadgets. So, we’re just going to build gadgets that we love,” says Migicovsky.

WaPo reports:

"The FBI executed a search warrant Wednesday morning at a Washington Post reporter’s home as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials."

"The reporter, Hannah Natanson, was at her home in Virginia at the time of the search. Federal agents searched her home and her devices, seizing her phone, two laptops and a Garmin watch. One of the laptops was her personal computer, the other a Washington Post-issued laptop."

"It is exceptionally rare for law enforcement officials to conduct searches at reporters’ homes. Federal regulations intended to protect a free press are designed to make it difficult to use aggressive law enforcement tactics against reporters to obtain the identities of their sources or information."

interesting suggestions so far:

  • ZnO
  • TiO2¹
  • BaSO4
  • gold leaf

i'm going to have to look at spectrometry data and maybe run a few experiments...

BE1004752A3 - Cosmetic transparent reflective infrared radiation based on titanium dioxide rolled and use for the protection of human skin against infrared. - Google Patents

Transparent cosmetic composition reflecting infrared radiation based on titanium dioxide flakes and its use for protecting the human epidermis against infrared radiation. The invention relates to a protective composition for the human epidermis, transparent, containing in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, as an agent reflecting infrared radiation 0.5 to 10% by weight of titanium dioxide flakes of dimensions between 1 , 5 and 25 microns, dispersible in the cosmetic medium used, having a reflective (R) of infrared radiation at least equal to 45% and of which a dispersion at 2% in petroleum jelly has an optical transmission in the visible of at least 85 %. This cosmetic composition can also contain 0.5 to 20% by weight of UV-A or broadband filters.

@NotImpressed@mas.to i also oppose a US led regime change, and you're right to distrust how the western media is spinning things, they are lying and distorting the nature of the protests to suit their intersts, but it' important we support the Iranian people, and they are in a very difficult system having to deal with both their own brutal theocratic government and constantly attacks,threats and psychological operations from the US and Israel. and I we shouldn't see them as mere pawns in some imperialist chess board, but people we have shared interests with.

Is this Swift Concurrency replacement for DispatchQueue.asyncAfter() functionally equivalent (and the best solution)? Seems to work correctly, but I haven't been able to find any good explanations for migrating from using DispatchQueue to Swift Concurrency.

Swift language source code showing use of DispatchQueue to wait 2.5 seconds: // original code DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 2.5) { withAnimation(.smooth) { showHomeScreen = true // this is a @State variable } } Swift language source code showing use of Swift Concurrency to wait 2.5 seconds: // new code Task { @MainActor in try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(2.5)) withAnimation(.smooth) { showHomeScreen = true // this is a @State variable } }

CASTING NO SHADOW

He felt bored one day and decided to go see a movie, no matter which one. So he walked down Martín de los Heros street, entered a cinema and chose a random French film. This was the most important decision in his life: almost instantly, he fell in love with the actress. She was young, pale-skinned, hair black as night, eyes like a universe. When the film ended he already felt a missing piece inside his heart.

He realized he was unable to express that love in words; so big, so overwhelming, so eerie. He had no alternative than to keep living his life: lost some friends, met new others, found a job in number crunching, as he liked to say.

Years passed and he missed no new movie featuring her; he saw great stories, mediocre films and crappy flicks just because she was there. Every time the screen showed her face he felt like a delightful rendez-vous: how is you life, are you doing well, missed you so much. And every time he felt his heart breaking into pieces. Sometimes he even cried, his face covered by his hands, warm tears in the dark theater, always surrounded by strangers. Because love hurts, love is like a sickness, love is a strange and silent death.

One day, on one of those occasions when disappointments pile over each other, he decided to travel to Paris. Once there he felt he also loved the streets, the corners, the chimneys; it was a world that was a bit like her, a bit part her. He also felt the sadness of loving something that is almost not there, a mirage, a trompe-l'oeil. The bittersweet feeling of a life wasted loving a ghost.

And then he saw her. It happened on those tiring stairs in Montmartre, no less; he was sweating and panting while she moved almost like having the wind in her sails. He recognized the crow-black hair, the pale face, the glittering eyes now surrounded by little wrinkles, more beautiful than ever. Twenty-five years ago he saw her playing the grieving spouse of the great composer Patrice de Courcy and that day he started living. He smiled her and she smiled back.
