George's notes

突然感到煩躁時,拿萬年筆抄寫了一輪片假名,略受寬慰。

有一說學新語言如同灌注新的靈魂,聽來浪漫,但有時學新語言僅僅是為了逃離舊靈魂的糾纏。

只要體感溫度不高於攝氏36度,中央氣象局似乎就會認定天氣「舒適」。明白,低於體溫嘛,但為何我還是汗流個不停?

Have we created the language to describe the trauma we’re experiencing in the new age of the internet? Or are we still too shocked and lost in the old tower of translations?

東南風轉為東風之後,面南的房間比盛夏時更難睡了。

閱讀香港國安法實施後的荒唐,遙想台灣一百條修正前的時光。

My energy saving project has been going on for 2 months, and just came the first electric bill since started. Compared to the same period last year, 16% cut on total energy consumption, which resulted in 35% cut on electric bill. This feels good.

許多人認為以色列是疫苗模範生,以至於疫情復燃時開始質疑起疫苗的有效性。

當然可以質疑,不過必須先知道該國的單劑覆蓋率一直沒有突破70%,而且距離大半人口施打第一劑已經超過八個月,疫苗效力或許已有衰退。

不論是自己煮還是外食,要吃得均衡實在困難。大多數一入口就覺得開心的食物,在營養價值方面都是災難。就算找出營養均衡的組合,以台灣人的料理習慣又都鈉爆。網路上查了一輪所謂的均衡餐,就算食物種類選對了,但考慮到料理方式,看起來就很可疑。

My AC for a while now. Bottle of ice works better in front of the fan because fans don’t actually suck air in from behind. This really works if put it really close and aim directly at you. Doesn’t last very long, so only use it during the hottest of a day.

It’s not that people don’t read anymore. We actually read a lot more than before the Internet. Most of the content we read today, however, are fragmented and unedited and require a reader to do the job of a curator/editor. Most of us have not accquire these abilities and develop anxieties toward fake news or misinformation.

Just found out I can make myself dream at night by making my feet cold. Aiming the electic fan directly at my feet, a dreamful night is guaranteed.

Bonus: I can move my feet more freely in those dreams.

關注室內通風之後,才注意到同座向的房間是會互相「爭風」的。

夏天吹南風,可以在面北的房間開一台電風扇對窗外吹,這樣會產生小小的負壓,導入南面的空氣。如果南面有不止一間房間,那就要鎖定想要降溫的房間開窗,把其他房間的房門或窗戶都關上,效果才會最好。

With search engines and too much data to digest, do we assume every question must have an answer even if we haven’t found it yet. Have we gotten less tolerant for ambiguity and more aggressive toward people with the opposite opinions? Do we welcome wars?

雖然只有一下子,但入夏以來首次看到臥室氣溫低於30度。下週二就是白露,秋天也差不多要來了吧。

想趁清晨涼爽出門走走,起床東摸西摸,回過神來就太熱了。 #隱喻人生

偶然在短時間內看了《東京喰種》和《獸爪》的動畫,前者忍耐看了一陣子還是棄了,後者幾乎是一口氣看完。

1Writer doesn’t support URL scheme for its external file provider. Obsidian on iOS doesn’t yet support Share Sheet or Shortcuts. Siri Shortcuts doesn’t append to file outside /Shortcuts folder.

What option do I have to take quick notes from Home Screen to Obsidian?

一邊是作為名譽男性的女性,一邊是作為性主體的男性,既然雙方都是厭女,他們所進行的辯論怎麼會變成對女權的打擊了呢?顯然這箭完全射偏了。

如果看了炎炎你覺得爽快,請至少先上維基百科試著了解女性主義為何反色情,反的究竟是什麼。

Cities are built considering its own past weather conditions. A regular afternoon thundershower in Taipei would bring enough rain to flood New York’s subway system. As we see more record-breaking rainfall, it is time to consider rebuilding our cities.

Many problems are structural and historical. Look at them from an intellectual point of view, most of our daily lives can become problematic. That might mean our society still have room to improve, but I doubt your new solutions will be the ultimate good.
