Automatic watches and grandfather clocks. The way they kept track of time using only mechanical principles is crazy. How does my automatic watch recharge itself using only the movement from wearing it and keep accurate track of time. Grandfather clocks are cool because they're so power efficient.

  1. The ball was red
  2. It was a man
  3. They wore a t-shirt and jeans
  4. A small sized ball, like a stress ball
  5. It was a plain wooden table made out of cheap particle board or laminated wood.

I had to think of questions to these answers after they were asked. The only things that I already knew were it was a red stress ball and that it was a cheaply made wooden table. I imagined that the ball simply began rolling towards the edge of the table. The person was amorphous at best.

I don't think I have aphantasia, but I do think I have a weak imagination. When I try to conjure an object or place, it's always like I'm peering through a keyhole. Like an image with too much vignette. The objects are usually non-descript and are more like concepts than things.

Inakubalika by Matata.

This is a song that makes me want to move my hips.

I was awarded a big scholarship on Sunday that happened to be the exact amount I needed to pay for my first year of college. The rest of my years are mostly paid for. I've always want to go to this college. I was excited about going, but now I'm even more excited now that I've earned enough scholarships to pay for it.

Entreat - verb - ask someone earnestly and anxiously to do something

It's a handy word that kind of combines "pleading" and "asking". It's a bummer it fell out of style because I can think of many scenarios where it would fit perfectly.

Yes, I have that too. You're not alone.

Yes, but I can never type in the password correctly. So I don't get to use it when it does appear.

I very much appreciate the correct use of POV.

I use Mull as my daily driver. It works well. It tends to break some sites, so I keep Fennec as a backup.

 

I'm trying to setup an invidious instance with Docker, but it isn't completing.

It's been giving the same message for over an hour, and I can't connect to the web interface either. Any ideas?
