When Your Math Teacher Secretly Hates You
Just your typical high school math exam where teleporting crocodiles and diplomats shaking hands are somehow relevant to your future career. Nothing says "practical math skills" like calculating the angle of a fictional character named "Brr Brr Patapim" who teleports around a unit square. I still have nightmares about Problem 5—proving every even number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. Congratulations, you've just encountered Goldbach's conjecture, an unsolved problem since 1742. The teacher probably thought, "Let's casually slip an unsolved mathematical mystery worth $1 million into a 60-minute exam." Pure evil.

The Velocity Of Student Suffering
The diabolical genius of physics teachers knows no bounds. Using km/h instead of the standard SI unit m/s is the academic equivalent of making students do unnecessary unit conversions—divide by 3.6 every single time—just to solve basic kinematics problems. It's like watching someone cut vegetables with the blunt side of the knife and not saying anything. Pure calculated torment disguised as education. Character development indeed.

My Arduino spins faster when Claude burns more tokens

Repurposed a broken Stirling-engine chassis as a desk toy that spins when Claude Code is busy and dies when I lock my Mac. Arduino + Kasa + Python. Read article →
