5:32:29 Colleen Weather in Tokyo: few clouds at 33°C (feels like 39°C), 60% humidity, 9km/h wind, 1011hPa pressure.

5:32:39 gingerale That's very hot.

5:32:42 isoraqathedh ::Weather

5:32:42 Colleen Weather for isoraqathedh in Hong Kong: scattered clouds at 31°C (feels like 38°C), 77% humidity, 3km/h wind, 1012hPa pressure.

5:32:45 isoraqathedh Same.

5:32:53 isoraqathedh You managed to hit a heat wave on Tokyo.

5:32:58 gingerale Dang

5:33:38 gingerale I suppose with Shin there someone's ahead of you in time zones for once.

5:59:28 shinmera Yay...

5:59:35 shinmera I still can't check in lol

5:59:44 shinmera Need to wait another hour

6:03:42 isoraqathedh shinmera: Have you been to Tokyo before? I think you have but I don't remember exactly.

6:05:37 shinmera I've been twice before

6:05:44 shinmera But each time with family

6:06:11 shinmera I'm basically on my own this time, though travelled with some work colleagues

6:08:58 shinmera I'm at a colleague's hotel room right now until I can check into my apt

6:47:35 shinmera Good lord idk that I can manage to stay awake another four hours

6:47:45 shinmera I'm so delirious I'm swaying

6:48:22 shinmera Maybe a shower will at least help a little once I can actually get in the fukn apt

7:06:52 gingerale Oh dear

7:15:04 shinmera I'm at the apartment

7:15:15 shinmera it is hot but I set the AC on full now, so it's already cooling down fast

7:15:23 shinmera doing a bit of unpacking, then finally shower

7:17:15 shinmera Anyway, I've been awake for over 24 hours now, so that's fun

7:21:20 gingerale Please get some rest.

7:24:45 shinmera I shouldn't because of the jetlag

7:25:29 gingerale Staying up like that doesn't seem good either.

7:52:53 shinmera yea but prob better for the long term.

8:15:16 shinmera #2051 Drawn on the flight to Tokyo

8:15:42 shinmera I guess it fialed to upload?

8:16:08 shinmera or something.

8:16:43 shinmera well, here it is on studio. https://studio.tymoon.eu/view/2311

8:17:26 gingerale Very sleepy looking drawing

8:17:34 shinmera yea

8:38:34 isoraqathedh I've been thinking about what is great in Tokyo after being there once. Really the biggest deals I want would be my usual special interests (roads, stationery, maybe vtuber guff).

8:39:12 gingerale I wish I knew what I'd like specific to any town in the world.

8:47:43 isoraqathedh The thing is, with roads just pictures of road signs will do; stationery usually gets imported from Japan to here anyway, and vtuber guff is basically only available online – minus the nendroids – so it's no use going there to buy any.

8:48:31 isoraqathedh It's easier for me to go to Japan than for Shin to go to Japan in any case

8:49:14 isoraqathedh Now, if Shin ever decides to go to Hong Kong, then I can definitely give a few pointers food-wise.

9:09:43 shinmera It's fine, I don't need suggestions on stuff to do

9:21:15 isoraqathedh Yeah but you mentioned souvenirs and how you want to buy some...

9:22:53 shinmera ah

9:44:35 shinmera aight, screw this, imma slep

13:07:48 PincerAttack Good afternoon

13:08:42 isoraqathedh Good afternoon.

16:17:09 gingerale Alright. I've finished Advent of Code 2021. I had to look for help on how to solve day 24. I still don't understand it but I got it to work.

16:17:21 isoraqathedh Oh, that was tricky wasn't it.]

16:18:01 gingerale Yeah, it's way beyond my brain's ability, it'd seem.

16:19:28 gingerale The solution I found involves first analysing the math behind each sub-section of the input, find the parameters that change, and then reverse the calculation to figure out the closest valid input to a base value.

16:19:50 gingerale "Think of the z-value as a stack of bits in base-26."

16:20:14 gingerale Utter lunacy.

16:29:31 isoraqathedh Programming is hard.

16:54:14 gingerale Thankfully most problems have already been solved by someone.
