this article is behind a paywall (I read on Apple News) but it honestly made me cry. This shit makes me feel so lonely just for caring about knowledge, curiosity, and deep work / learning.

I am attempting this Brevet Populaire tomorrow, which is twice the elevation I’ve ever ridden in a day 🙈 but I’m up for the challenge 🚵‍♀️

I picked up cycling recently and I’m still very much a beginner, but I’m trying to push myself to improve and also complete several charity rides this year, increasing in distance. I’ve been training diligently for this weekend 💪

!! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghosts_...
Uproxx argues that the ghost are really just people in costumes, based on what is revealed between rounds in the game. A cutscene that appears after the 5th round of the game, shows the ghost Blinky chasing after Pac-Man, and their ghost costume snags on a nail and rips, revealing a leg underneath. In a later cutscene, they have a rip in their ghost costume, then after going off screen, they are seen back on the screen dragging the red costume behind them.

completed my first 'area' solo flight today! This was my approximate route, simplified to remove forced landing practice in the training area. If you know this airport's procedures you'll spot a mistake I made inbound 😬 but ATC were gracious + helpful and my instructor is happy with how I handled it

After four weeks of weather cancelations, I finally went up and completed my hour long third solo today and passed! Which means I’m now working my towards my area solo, where I will leave the airport’s controlled space by myself on a little trip and back. Beautiful weather today out here.

almost halfway through the current billing period in the middle of winter. That bill projection is a fuzzy prediction based on July last year and the usage for this cycle so far. My bill won't be even close to that. All the work on the house was so worth it. And I'm keeping WARM. I am stoked 🙌
a gauge showing electricity usage in dollars for 13 days in a 30 day bill cycle 27th June to 26th July. The cost to date is $103.47 AUD, and the incorrect projection is set at $469.45 AUD.

so my research study (as it should) has been about finding out the impact of certain actions, and not necessarily trying to achieve a positive outcome. all the same, this comment in the anon follow-up questionnaire warms my heart so much ^_^
I have learned about asymmetric encryption during my degree, but I never actually applied it. I really enjoyed being able to actually apply what I learned in a realistic setting rather than being confined to theory and definitions. I also appreciated how entry-level the hands-on lab was. It really helped me level-up my skills and abilities in regards to encryption. I was able to understand everything with the knowledge I have so far in cybersecurity with any difficulties.

embarrassing confession: when I first moved in to my house, I noted the reverse cycle air conditioners and that I should clean the filters. Never got around to it 😅 finally did it today (omg gross) and it turns out that might have had an outsized influence on my heating issues this whole time 😳🫣🤭
a graph showing a huge temperature spike of almost 4ºC from the exact point of the day that I cleaned the heater filters.
