kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 13/07/2026I find heat pumps deeply unintuitive "you can use energy to transfer heat against a temperature gradient, from a cold sink to a hot sink" intuitively feels to me like it should be pointless. sure, you can do that, but surely you can only move as much energy as you've expended, so you may as well 150

kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 08/07/2026hiding inside most games is a good strip version of that game, but figuring out the right way to do it can be tricky (in particular to get an appropriate pace of clothing loss that matches the mood of the room) 150

kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 05/07/2026some friends & I once attempted to make a good game out of monopoly, adding freedom of contract and other tweaks on playtesting, it went 3 hours before we unanimously agreed to stop and never play it again but making the ruleset was fun, and at the end of the day isn't that what really matters 030

kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 08/03/2026was playing around with postgres yesterday experimenting with different strategies for stats queries for bunnypaws. just noticed that one of the queries, having timed out at the psql, had continued running on the server side. for the last 24 hours. 110
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 17/02/2026so it turns out all slash commands in a group are sent to all bots in that group. which is surprising because you register the bot as being able to handle specific commands. but that's apparently purely for the autocomplete ui and doesn't act as a filter? seems kinda jank 150
