His ways... so mysterious.

My ongoing updates to my location description for UberEats delivery drivers.

Me: "I live in the westmost apartment building."

Driver: ?

Me: "I live in the apartment building farthest away from Portland"

Driver: ?

Me: "Head toward the sun until you get to the last building. That's mine."

Driver on cloudy day: ?

Me: "Imagine you get an amber alert that Mt. Hood has begun erupting. Which way do you run? Head that way. I will be waving my arms in the air outside my apartment."

Driver: "Cant find bldg"

Me: sigh

Not a fraud hack from Milwaukee?

I guess this is me now.

I always enjoyed subs, but wished I could understand the original Japanese, so I took Japanese classes in HS and college to learn the language. Now I can't help but listen to the Japanese AND try to read the subtitles at the same time. (ー_ー*)

If you want to run some less low-level code to explore the kinds of sounds that code like this can create, I wrote a python applet that lets you explore random and custom functions interactively. It comes with several presets for interesting functions I've discovered on various websites.

Looks like something straight out of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

But if there were no commercials how would I discover new innovative products like "cheese-stuffed cheese"?

I think the Japanese language handles this pretty well. People typically refer to someone by name, even when speaking directly to them where "you" would be used in English.

I have more experience with Blender than I do with design software, so I would probably set up a scene with colored lights positioned to get the right effect.

A "brief" explanation.
