Cold and windy, but my gluttony over the holidays has insulated me well. I would trade some of it for fitness, which I suppose is what’s happening, albeit much slower and more arduously than I might like.
Ran 4/1 minute run/walk intervals for what turned out to be 6.5 km. Pace was 8:03/km.

The Uncertain Origins of Aspirin
The history of humanity’s pharmacopeia is often muddied by folklore. What can the origins of aspirin teach us about separating fact from fiction?

Mission accomplished!
I’m now continuing (back) to Bern on the train on which my wife arrived, since the IC 5 currently doesn’t run on weekends (or with replacement buses).

So, I have assembly running on the devkit on both arm64 cores.
But I can't run C until I can compile C, and have a C runtime library.
Attempts to build newlib from scratch as a standalone library ended poorly (I got a makefile that did nothing, apparently other people have hit this and I never got a straight answer as to how one builds a naked cross-newlib, not as part of a compiler).
So now I'm trying to build a full aarch64-none-elf toolchain. Wish me luck.

Fuck, no, Apple. I was forced to update to iOS 26 due to lack of security updates for 18 on devices that can run 26 (i.e., due to extortion) but you’re not infecting my Mac with Liquid Ass.
Notice the dark pattern of pestering you in hopes you will accidentally hit the “Restart” button even though you’ve specifically turned off auto updates. Microsoft-level disrespect for consent here.
(Not surprising from a company that gives golden awards to fascists.)

You know me. I love some #Steam games - especially when it's:
- cheap
- plays on macOS
- has 𝖆𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖙𝖎𝖈
Found a new one. Very few reviews but _man oh man_ is it an environmental -vibe- when you're playing
It's amusingly self-tagged "Relaxing" and I'm ... not sure about that? Like ... watch the trailer. You hear that background hum? That's the RAIN. The death from above. And it's in stereo and directional. The rain *hums*. It gets louder when you're in danger. And it kills. And it's coming down from above while you're trying to smash and accomplish goals. You get .... twitchy
For $5 tho? Totally great.

"Le Monde – Le RN n’est fort que de la faiblesse de ses adversaires"

Le RN n’est fort que de la faiblesse de ses adversaires
La proposition de résolution du groupe de Marine Le Pen visant à dénoncer l’accord franco-algérien de 1968 a été adoptée à l’Assemblée le 30 octobre. Cet accroc majeur, qui aurait pu être évité, pose un nouveau jalon dans la banalisation du parti d’extrême droite.

For those tracking my rehab: today was a great day!
Over the course of the day I drove to Costco and picked up a few things✱, assembled a really nice sofa table we bought on Etsy, and did 3 laps around the family room without aid.
Rn, 11 days post op my pain is a 1-2. (Probably 3–4 at bedtime which is the most painful part of my day.
