Writing by Hand is Good for your Brain - Here's how to do it
https://nealstephenson.substack.com/p/writing-by-hand-is-good-for-your
Because I am known to write using a fountain pen on paper, a number of people have pointed me to this post and its underlying research. I won’t rehash what is said in those sources, but the gist of it is that when you write things down by hand you’re recruiting more of your brain, which is a good thing.

using keyboard at a negative tilt is actually not bad
Moonlight is nifty. I can stream games from my PC to my 3ds, PS Vita, and smart projector on the other side of the house -- linked a gamepad to my smart projector via bluetooth.

more alcohol sellers keep getting busted in my city. there's some kind of cooperation going on between the police, a small number of local journalists, and an islamic students union at the local university . islamic students or local journalists announce a location is selling alcohol on social media, then police bust it shortly after. as in within hours.
until now the police would take bribes from alcohol sellers and they would sell their drinks out of sight / behind closed doors. where to go for booze was an open secret but not a public issue . everyone was fairly mature and just looked the other way if they were not active drinkers. also police love drinking so sellers had to give away some amount of booze to police for free and that factored into prices ; goal of police action is not to eliminate alcohol but take a tighter grasp over the market
the main illicit distributor (bootlegger-san) of my county recently gave up his position after police demands for bribes kept increasing at a pace roughly equivalent with the recent inflationary events & another guy starting creeping onto his turf. bootlegger-san was sick of having to suck cop dick and having a rival emerge probably just doubled the stress. guy has already not been doing well mentally, socially, financially for a while for reasons (....) not much longer after the big bootlegger guy decided to give up his role as "the booze guy" ... did the joint operation between police, journalists, and students go into effect
There are two factors at play here:
(1) I think police are working with the students and press to increase pressure on the new distributor to keep him complaint ; if they expected a 10% "tax" from old bootlegger-san I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to get a 15% or 20% "tax" from the new guy (filthy pigs)
(2) the only building that can legally sell alcohol in my county is a 5 star hotel that recently opened but is hemorrhaging money so I think the hotel operators are working with police to shut down competition in an attempt to bring revenues up
it's an interesting case to study.... of course as a homebrewer and homedistiller (for personal consumption only) I am pretty insulated from what goes on in the rest of the city , but seeing the games the police play with the market and media & trying to understand what is actually going on from the outside is a fun challenge.
I have my own map of alcohol sellers in the city that I was able to piece together pretty easily after living here for a few years and making friends with drinkers. and it's pretty easy to see the difference in the kinds of sellers that are getting hit by the media/police/radical islamic youth trifecta: smaller alcohol sellers that largely peddle in lower-quality drinks, OR the nicer restaurants and hotels, with no one in between. shitty restaurants selling shitty beer have not been busted yet. the underground liquor stores selling the better stuff are also not making it into the news at all
No more heroes is better than killer 7 so far. I played killer 7 for like an hour and hit a stupid roadblock. NMH is fun like viewtiful Joe or Wario world

In USA they call apartment like this "single rooms occupancy" where kitchens and maybe even bathrooms are shared. Very cheap apartments, usually for students or disabled people.
Apartment buildings in USA are more likely to have shared laundry rooms than shared kitchens or bathrooms.
When I was living in an SRO, my little in-room kitchen was a microwave, minifridge, electric kettle, slow cooker, and rice cooker. Not ideal but I could still eat fine. If I needed to use the stove or oven there was always the shared kitchen as a fallback. I used the slow cooker to make most of my cooked meals. Had to fill up water bottles down the hall every few days and keep my mini fridge loaded up with them.
A lock pick set's tension wrench makes the perfect pipe tool. Tamps and pokes fine.

They get shitty beer and add shitty vodka but sell it as "beer" for tax purposes. Real alchy shit, worse than steel reserve or four loko (but cheap)

Something I hate about the grocery stores in Indonesia is that the moms bring their kids and the kids just piss in the middle of the aisle like no one's business.
You tell the moms, "hey, that's disgusting!" and they laugh and think it's cute. So, if you find yourself shopping in Indonesia, make sure to watch your step in the grocery store.

This seems pretty sensible to me for pocket computing: a computer inside a keyboard
Ryzen 7 8840U, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, ~$600. It can stream to tablets and VR. Wow!

Indonesian is like this too, formal Indonesian and Indonesian in practice are very separate. Usually written Indonesian drops a lot of words and the meaning is strongly inferred by context.

my keyboard's manual says "use your computer's USB to charge it"
think it would be dangerous to plug it into my phone charger? from what i understand USB only takes as much electric as it needs so it shouldn't make the keyboard get too hot and explode
