At the pharmacy to take a flu vaccine.

@jex Because today is a little bit different than usual for me. Because I get positive feedback from some of my followers when I share little slices of life. Because some curious person out there might be interested in old churches, the interior of burger restaurants in Norway and the fact that vaccines are given at Norwegian pharmacies. All mildly interesting things to some people out there, who tend to favourite or boost these posts.

I started a new job in late November 2018 and have been walking 1.6 km (1 mi) a day since then.See how the trend line on this weight loss curve (in kilograms) gets steeper around day 245? That's when I started the new job. Apparently, that minimal level of exercise is actually making a difference.Working out never made a dent in my weight before I had the surgery. My problems were just too severe to fix with diet and exercise. I would've had to put in an inhuman effort on both fronts, and it was just more than I could manage.

I had to make a GitHub account again today because a customer at work uses a business GitHub account for development. At least it isn't attached to my personal email address...

Interesting. Circle K is described as a "convenience store chain" on Wikipedia, but in Norway, they bought all the Statoil gas stations. Therfore, there are no Circle K locations in Norway that don't sell gas. Most people here know 7-Eleven as a convenience store chain and Circle K as a gas station chain. There are no manned gas stations in Norway that aren't also convenience stores. Having gas pumps is the bare minimum, but the typical expectation is that they also sell fresh hot dogs, coffee, pastries and refrigerated drinks, together with a small selection of groceries and car accessories.

The number of gay friends I have just went from zero to one.My best friend from high school came out as bi to me last night.That new apartment he recently bought? Shared with his boyfriend. The interesting part is that he made sure to emphasise that all the conservative views he shared with me over the holiday were genuine, and let me know that he isn't a fan of the gay agenda, not beyond permitting same-sex people to marry at the courthouse anyway.I was surprised, but not *that* surprised: He's a good looking extroverted 35-year-old unmarried guy with a slightly theatrical demeanor and very neat hair who works as a nurse.

@noelle Those big corporations and their billboards wouldn't exist in the first place if we weren't consumerist whores in the first place. If we all spent our money sensibly and didn't throw our money after large corporations, the world would look very different. Billions of people in the developing world aspire to the lifestyle of 1950s America and have no intention of changing course.

@skypage I mainly just want to know if I'll get in trouble for sharing controversial political views. Also, I'd like to know if they refuse to federate with any instances.

I gotta remember to regularly back up my accounts on the Fediverse. I was worried that pleroma.soykaf.com was permanently down there for a moment. Another thing to schedule in my calendar, I suppose.

I have started keeping a personal journal. I wrote backdated entries for January 1 - 3, since I wanted to start it on the first day of the year, and began keeping it in earnest on January 4. Some of what I used to write on here will probably end up there instead.I suspect this journal will be very useful to me, since it remembers my life much better than I do. From now on, I'll be able to tell people exactly what date various events happened on. For major life events and historical events, I'll be able to go back and see how I reacted to it at the time.I make sure to highlight important parts so I can skim through and locate stuff later on.

@frankiesaxx Oh, haha, just the Notes app on my Mac/iPhone for now. I have to get it transferred to something better at one point, before there is too much to migrate. If it were possible, I'd use a simple Markdown editor that saves text files directly to a folder structure on Nextcloud.

I'm having a perfectly noodly evening. Improvised a woked noodle dish with ground beef, pineapple, leek, green pepper and premade Chop Suey sauce. It works surprisingly well.

@frankiesaxx Oh, no, I don't want to geek out on my phone. My phone is like a toaster. You push a button and it does its thing. It's the only time of day when I get to use technology that pretends to not be a computer with all its horrible error-causing complexities.

Rule of Software Complexity: You can't have a complex system that isn't also a buggy system.Corollary: The only sustainable user interface is a REPL.Corollary: No matter how advanced your user interface is, the REPL will still have more features.

Looks like I'm going to have to pay extra if I'm going to take driving lessons after work. Who has time to take daytime lessons? Young people have school or college, older people have a job. There aren't that many unemployeds, retirees, social security recipients and housewives wanting a driver's license, are there?

Skulle gjerne sett denne homo-lobbyen de snakker så mye om... Er det sånn døgnåpent rosa badekåpe-party med brukne håndledd, cocktailer og aperitiffer, og lube- og dop-dispensere på toalettet-opplegg eller hva er greia?
