100% human thoughts

I spent few minutes two write a proper blogpost article and few full paraghraphs of text - noone does any more in 2026. (100% pure human thoughts) I think everyone subconsciously knows we are not in control of our destinies. Our mind is a representation of everything that we have ever experienced, and our mind is driving our bodies to preserve our genes - the ones running in our bodies, the ones in our children and the ones in the members of the society where our offspring will hopefully thrive.   An addict with bad habits who goes a significant time without relapse will experience deep gratitude. It is because he truly knows himself - dark side included. He knows the bright side shining longer than usual is sacred. He may pray and hope, but the outcome is not his to decide. It is therefore amusing to see accomplished individuals feeling superior when they are but lucky lottery ticket winners and slaves to their own actions. The work is real; the free will is not.   Being cons...

Your body is designed to fail

As much as we want to believe that we function as an individual and there is a concrete border around of who you are and the ouside world, in order to fully understand ourselves we need to recognize that we are part of something bigger. Most of us understand that evolution favours those more fit. One might falsly conclude that therefore everything in your body should help you to succeed. But that is exactly wrong, because we are social species and your body will sabotage you if it believes your success not in the intererst for the succcess of your species. These mechanisms are programmed deep into each individual. Most notable and obvious is the death. Serves no good for you, but is an essential tool for species to addapt over time and evolve in the resource scarse world. There are also less extreme examples than death. Lets look at an example when one is feeling uncertain and indecisive and is put on a spot that has others attention. In old days that could be a tribe leader that could...

Green juice recipe

Prerequisites For having best results you have to have juicer machine. Basically any juicer that can harness juice from carrots will be good for preparing green juice from ingredients in this article. For example I'm using relatively cheep one from Cook & Baker. Ingredients 1 cup (200 ml) spinach (tightly pressed) 1 apple ½ lemon (peeled) ½ cucumber ½ inch (~1.25 cm) ginger ½ cup (100 ml) of water This will give you approximately 1 cup (200 ml) of green juice. Preparation Pass all the ingredients through the juicer the last being water so that more juice ends up in your juice collector and less of it remains in juicer. Enjoy this healthy beverage!

Cookie law. Good intentions, bad implementation

Cookie law requires websites to place a confirmation notice if the website is using cookie technology. The "Cookie", in essence, is bit of data that websites store in browser. All browsers has to support it, because it is defined in web standards. On one hand, cookie functionality enables better site experience. On the other hand, it can be used to track users without them knowing. The idea behind the law is to make users aware that this website is storing information into their browsers. However the solution of making every website in the world implement the dialogue is... let me see how can i put it - unrealistic Much better solution would be making browsers to implement this functionality. Here is a list of reasons why: If browsers are implementing this functionality users would be given possibility to opt out if they really don't want to be informed (YAY to that) If website is using cookies, browser knows about it, and therefore will show the notice on ALL...

What is Nem-Ejendomsmægler?

Nem-Ejendomsmægler Nem-Ejendomsmægler is a real estate agency that specializes on slowing things down. Inviting  Nem-Ejendomsmægler into your real estate deals multiplies the timefactor. Workers come to work late, but they compensate it by leaving early. Their main role in the deal is receiving and spending your money. Working with the company is like working with a donkey. You would rather do it yourself if you had a power, instead you trick the company to do their work, like you trick the donkey with a carrot. I recommend their service if you have no idea what to do with your money, are fan of frustration and are famous for your inexhaustible patience. ~one of their "happy" customers.

Reality FPS. The granularity of the time.

So this post will calculate theoretical minimal time length that is required to render the physical universe. You see, if universe is guided by laws of physics and physics is guided my mathematics, then there has to be smallest unit of space and smallest unit of time, in order to render the universe. Why, you ask? Otherwise it's getting very complicated if you can scale things down indefinitely. And as for what we know, universe in it's nutshell is simple and elegant. That being said, you can imagine 3d world around us being composite of tiny 3d cubes, each of which containing binary or composite value, meaning that we don't know if it's 0 (zero) / 1 (one) , or a set of variables (a,b,c...n). But that's ok, if we don't have to know precisely, because we can still calculate minimal time length. In each iteration over time you make each tiny cube interact with all neighbor cubes. As they do interact, they change themselves and other cubes around it. This wa...

Is universe infinite?

The short answer is we don't know for sure, but most likely it isn't. And todays most popular theories will suggest that it isn't. So is there a border somewhere? Well, according to the big bang theory, there is a border, but not only for matter. Big bang theory suggest that universe is expanding it's space-time, So imagine a glass full of water. Now answer the question - What's in the glass? Well.. one could say the glass is full with water. Correct! Now empty the glass and ask again, what's in the glass? Well now one could say the air is in the glass. Now imagine we pump out all the air that's in the glass. Now what's in the glass? Well one can clearly see that light shines though the glass, so light is in the glass? Correct. Now you cover the glass so light can't get though. What is now in the glass? You are absolutely correct - the space is in the glass. And it's that space that's expanding. According to Einstein space is directly tied...

Learn Actors Quiz Game

So i finished the Learn Actors Quiz game . I had more than 300 downloads but Google Play reviewer decided to suspend it. So I needed to do adjustments and publish it again as a new app. Therefore I lost all the ratings. Nevertheless I also removed in app purchases so now all the content inside the game is free. I also added quiet a few nice updates. Will see how it progresses in cumming months.

Time travel dilemma

Here is a dilemma if you had a chance to do a time travel. Where would you go? 20 years in past and exploit supremacy of your knowledge, but suffer poor technological advancement at that time, or 20 years in future where many problems are solved but you'd have hard time grasping what's happening around you. My mother told me that it's better to be a tail for a horse than head for a donkey. I guess that means she'd go to the future. Meanwhile we are stuck in the present. I guess it's not that bad after all.

Freeze touchpad while typing Ubuntu/Debian

This is just a note to remember. While typing on laptop your hands touches not only keys on your keyboard but many times accidentaly the touchpad, which causes cursor to jump to another place. To disable the keyboard on Ubuntu/Debian (I'm on Mint and it works as well) run syndaemon -d To finetune and change the time period touch pad is frozen after last key has been pressed you can specify parameter 'i'. Remember to kill the syndaemon first and run command passing the parameter like this killall syndaemon syndaemon -i 2 -d Where the number is the number of seconds.

Ubuntu detach task from terminal

Here is a little tip for Ubuntu users. If you run a process from a terminal then as soon as you close terminal, the process will close as well. Do detach a process from terminal execute: $ yourtask & and when process launches, focus back to terminal, press ctrl+z. This will bring you the prompt again where you type: $ disown which will do the detaching.  Now you can close the terminal and process will not be killed.

How to remove all stared items from Google maps

Whenever I go some place unknown to me, I put stars on the Google maps by right clicking and selecting "what's here", and then checking a little star so I can easily find the place on the map latter. It's cool feature because stared places automatically synchronizes between all your devices. So after you have left your computer you check the mobile device if  you get lost for some reason.  However the problem is that what once was convenient, now has become bothersome because map get's populated with stars very quickly, and instead of helping I'm stuck at looking at map which has so many stars that it resembles cold winter night far outside the city. There is a way to remove it which intuitively seems the right way by clicking on the down triangle and selecting delete, but - boy there is a confirmation dialogue and and doing this for every star in your "milky way" is just not worth it. So the other, much faster way, is to just unckeck the li...

Package delivery bad practices

I'm not sure why this is practicing in Denmark, but packages are simply dropped at you doorstep, if you are not home. Thieves are my main concern but there could be other factors which would cause package to be damaged. Say, if one orders a some electronics product for Christmas, and because of some delay package is delivered after he have left for 2 week vacation then for two weeks his electronics will be target for thieves, animals or bad weather conditions. And when he comes back - who is to blame? I'm living in a house at third floor and we don't have any locks, in spite of that, last Friday, I found parts for my computer laying at my doorstep. Few months ago I ordered charger for laptop, which never arrived. I contacted the seller, and he responded that package has been sent out, and asked me to contact Danish post. I contacted post they said that they can not help and told to contact seller. But I already did that. So at the end of the day seller refunded me mon...

Automatic lighting

Automatic lighting when it gets dark is very convenient. For example, street lighting in cities uses it to provide citizens with light during dark hours of the day. It can also be used indoors for places that always should have light available. Whether it is night, rainy day (or sudden solar eclipse (: ) this circuit will provide artificial light when needed.

Fille.lv Keep your boots safe

Recently I finished a new home page for new start-up, called Apavu Sargs  . The target audience is women, car-drivers. The problem product solves is footwear damage that is caused while women driving a car. Pressing gas and break pedals causes friction to the bottom part of the shoes, that causes scratching off the heels. Especially the right foot, that is used for gas. By wearing the product over the shoe while driving it prevents show damage. And everyone knows how much women loves their shoes (:. Over and out.

Lose-Lose situation

The other day I saw a guy with 2nd day beard, and out of bed hairstyle. It did look that these were his intentions to look bearded and stinky. Of course, he did not stink, but his outfit suggested otherwise. Who knows who he wanted to impress  But seriously, the stink was the only missing thing from his outfit, and that lack of stink made him look fake. So using that kind of outfit really puts person in lose-lose situation. If he stinks, he repulse people with the stink. If he does not stink, he looks fake. So, at the end of the day, what's the point?
