City 2-1 Bournemouth: Brief Highlights

HE official highlights have just come out. Many chances. Many missed.

When Butterflies Come Visit

T is quite an ecstatic atmosphere here around the stadium, not just because it’s early (4PM still very bright in August) but also sunny and the dramatic win not too long ago resonates in the minds of people. I’ve just seen some butterflies coming by and Bottle sits on the door handle.

They Fought ‘Til the End

HE change of style of the local “Viking” (born here) might impact the looks or hairstyle of locals. I myself inadvertently imitated Haaland’s style, but I think I’ll stay with what I have. It’s not hard to manage.

I Never Claimed to be a Medical Doctor

think there are many people in society that are imposters and very well know they are imposters. So what bothers them most are critics and people who expose that they’re imposters, as those latter people represent a risk to them. Sometimes those are colleagues.

A “Pep” Deja Vu

he team without Bernardo, KDB, Rodri and others is still failing to deliver. It made a comeback against Atlético Madrid, then suffered a humiliating defeat to Arsenal. Both away from the local stadium.

Focusing More on GNU/Linux, as It Grows Fast This Summer

N the modest local market we buy almost everything. We pay with cash, we enjoy every moment of it unless it’s rainy, and we can return things if they’re faulty (provided we know the vendor and choose a reliable one based on reputation/pedigree/word of mouth).

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

HE term “s/n ratio” (shorthand for the above) is short, simple, and catchy. It implies we should strive for quality, not quantity, or at least for relevance.

10cc Still Active

‘ve just found this 15-year-old performance by 10cc. I particularly like how ~40 years later they still sound mostly the same (I assume they’re not smokers) and can play reasonably well, recreating their work from the mid-70s. The fact all of them are alive and mentally well (enough to go on stage) is a sign of good health and happiness.

Offline Birthdays

O tomorrow morning we leave for the day (or half-day) and enjoy the birthday, followed by a week of rest. We’re not getting younger, so we might as well make the most of life and making the most of it does not mean being online or wasting any moment in social control media garnering “likes” and digital greetings.
