Depends on the rice, sticky rice is really easy to eat with chop sticks, you can just generally grab anything and get a chunk. Medium sticky you can scoop up but non sticky/liquid sauce is a non-starter.

Yeah, like cards being the best thing ever on front-end. If I want a basic layout I put "avoid cards" usually because then it'll use them sparingly. But yeah, it's just autocomplete so it's always going to get the lowest common denominator code based on what it decided to look at.

I'm now looking into finding something faster than GPT/Claude where I can ping pong prompt faster and get what I want. Whatever it writes first is just a first draft anyway.

It's so bright it hurts...

When I have a ritual day planned out and it gets cancelled for some reason.

If I have a full day with no responsibilities I'd do gym, eat at fast food place, get some coffee, go home, shower, watch anime where I walk/run between each activity.

If by any reason these plans get cancelled or derailed by something I forgot I promised to do or just urgent need I'll be very upset the rest of the day even though it'd be at most 10-15% reduction in a whatever or I'd have to drive/take bus between activities.

Another thing that really grinds my gears is when there's a scheduled time, clear path towards being on time and things get added last minute. Think of having a flight the day after, bag is packed, sleep is scheduled for good rest but for some reason some task gets added right before the 1h wind down before bed that adds 1.5h of delay to sleeping. Or just grabbing coffee/food before passing passport control etc.

Oh my god, this resonates hard. When I go over and the plan is to play board games but somehow it ends up having a group of 7 where the ideal group is 4 and I don't have 7 Wonders to play. It always ends up just drinking and talking because the group is too big to do anything.

What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)?

Empire total war on release, the battle AI was absolute garbage to the point where you can just start as the Netherlands, walk over to Paris and take their country.

Before everyone researches fire by rank you could just spread out the infantry and have 2x firepower. Cavalry charges straight into you, pathfinding was so bad that you'd have a single column of men moving through a wide area. Fucking loved it though, it was a grand strategy spectacle and naval battles felt intense.

I had fun unlocking the pirates via config file edit and spamming out general units from a single buccaneer sword infantry and took over all of the Americas.
