because the game gives you absolutely no clue on how long a club will take
you, if you use its full potiental. Well, I calculated the distances... use
this table to find which club you would use when in need.

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[For whatever reason, my computer won't suspend or hibernate. I have generally assumed it has to do with using DisplayPort for my primary monitor and HDMI for my secondary... but never quite figured it out. It is not a big deal since I turn my computer off when I am not using it anyway. Instead of continuing to dig into the weeds... I decided to install Xscreensaver and enable almost all of the screensavers. Left my computer for about 20 minutes and returned to Pacman on my primary monitor and a dancing wireframe box on my secondary monitor. Highly recommended.

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[What does it mean from an American perspective to have been "born overseas"? I thought about this when I saw ESPN describe NBA Hall of Famer Tim Duncan as having been born overseas. Duncan was born in the U.S. Virgin Islands. While this is indeed over a sea, the U.S. Virgin Islands is an unincorporated territory of the United States. All persons born there are citizens from birth by operation of statute, and it is within the judicial jurisdiction of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. After reflecting on the issue, I concluded, for reasons stated in my article, that Duncan should not be described (from a U.S. perspective) as having been born "overseas."

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Before watching episode 2, I review the animation in episode 1 of The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses, one of the new anime series of the summer season. I was inspired to write the piece when I saw some dramatically different takes on the animation, ranging from crediting the first 3 minutes for having more frames than entire episodes of other shows to describing those same 3 minutes as being a crime against humanity. On the whole, I offer some qualified praise for the style and attention to detail while also highlighting technical issues (inconsistent 3D assets, bad shadows, glitches) that are a bit concerning going forward.

Note that the ranking comes with the caveat that statistics come from Koko Analytics, which is an entirely local WordPress page counter with no third party scripts or connections. It respects Do Not Track and does not work for users who block JS, so it is (by design) not as robust as commercial solutions. However, I have found that its recording of Google referrers is usually fairly close to what I see in Google Search Console (formerly Webmaster), so I'll count it as close enough for all normal, non-creepy purposes.

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[In 2021, I wrote a mini article centered on a photo I took of a banana bench outside a home in Gowanus, Brooklyn. I don't think anyone really read it (such is the fate of small photo posts). However, according to my local privacy-friendly analytics tool, Koko Analytics, I suddenly got a large number of referrals from Facebook (unusual, if not unprecedented) all pointing to the banana bench article. I guess someone shared it. However, I don't have Facebook, so the source will forever be a mystery. You too can enjoy the banana bench.

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[I stopped using Thunderbird for task management (I had been using it with Radicale-DecSync), both because I found it cumbersome and I had some sync issues. While I don't think I need a task management app per se, I decided to see how Zim works. I set up a new Planner notebook with the tasks and journal plugins enabled. I am getting the hang of it, but it has a neat, simple syntax out of the box. Thinking about some ways to turn it into a full-fledged planner.

https://nicole.express/feed.xml (tinkering with old games and game hardware)
https://shumplations.com/feed (translations of Japanese game developer interviews)
https://www.loc.gov/collections/global-legal-monitor/?fo=rss (summaries of legal news from around the world)
https://reason.com/people/josh-blackman/feed (legal analysis and commentary from Josh Blackman)
https://yukinu.com/feed/atom.xml (charming small web site with links to interesting sites, tech experiments, and looks at old tech)
https://feed.tedium.co (well-researched essays on a variety of topics)
https://blog.sakugabooru.com/feed (detailed essays on the anime industry and production)
htpps://perishablepress.com/feed/atom (personal website of WordPress developer Jeff Starr)
https://ai.mee.nu/feed/atom (daily tech news with strong opinions)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/rss/authors/stephen-dinan (one of the best reporters on immigration law/border issues)
https://liliputing.com/feed (news about mini PCs and mobile devices)
https://worldofmatthew.com/index.xml (essays on digital ownership and random musings)
I would also humbly recommend my own writing project, link in my profile if you're interested
I also recommend looking at Morss.it (https://morss.it/) if there is a site you want to subscribe to without a feed. It generally works very well (RSS Bridge and RSS Hub serve the same purpose if you want to self-host).]]></summary>

It is a static site feed aggregator primarily designed to go with GitHub Pages. I host one to aggregate my own writing on different sites. I think it may fit your use case because your Osmosfeed site itself outputs a single Atom feed. So, for example, if I have an Osmosfeed site that aggregates feeds 1, 2, and 3, the Osmosfeed site has a single feed which will include the three individual feeds. Mine has about 10-12 feeds and it has worked perfectly thus far with no issues. Not sure if it would have problems at higher numbers.]]></summary>

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[In a companion article, I told the story of the 1997 trade which netted the Pistons the #2 pick off a 50-win season in 2003. The trade, which saw the then-Vancouver Grizzlies trade a future, lightly protected first round pick, for a 35-year old Otis Thorpe nearing the end of his career (note the Grizzlies were coming off a 14-68 season) was so bad that one need not even qualify a critique of the trade with "hindsight is 20/20." Had anyone stopped and thought for a moment, all of the sights would have advised not making that trade.

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Last week, I commemorated the 20th anniversary of the 2003 NBA Draft by addressing a hypothetical -- should the Detroit Pistons, who lucked into the second overall pick despite coming off a 50 win season thanks to a trade from 1997, have drafted Carmelo Anthony? As we know, the Pistons drafted Darko Milicic, who played little in 2.5 seasons with the team, but they won the 2003-04 championship. After considering all the factors, I concluded in a long, stat-filled article, that with perfect hindsight, the Pistons should not have drafted Anthony, but I do offer some alternatives.
(PS: I was proud of myself when I guessed the championship odds ranking going into 2002-03 and found that the betting odds rank on Basketball Reference matched my guess perfectly.)

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[It was raining quite a bit in NYC yesterday. I will venture that may have led to some outdoor 4th of July gatherings being imperiled. For those who had a 4th of July event deferred, I present my 2021 (fictional) dialogue on the PURPOSE of July 4 grilling. As one of the three major characters in the dialogue argues -- the purpose is very clearly ritualistic sacrifices to the Founding Fathers ("argues" is the operative word).

I started NLJ back in 2020. It is built with WordPress (hosted on Hetzner VPS and managed with Cloudron). I have published more than 800 articles and 350 short-form posts (almost all posts by me, but my friend has published 30something articles). I write about whatever interests me (I tell myself this means there is something for everyone). Common topics include, but are not limited to, tech (digital ownership, open source software, feeds, and my learning Linux), history (usually American or Roman), old books and poems, anime, visual novels (mainly English translations of freeware NScripter/KiriKiri novels), photos from my walks, fictional dialogues, and occasional commentary about life in NYC.

In a 2021 article, I re-printed the entire oration and offered my own commentary. Having put my thoughts in the article, I submit a fun fact for Mastodon. Lyons, who was a Jesuit priest, is the only man to have served as president of four different American colleges (Gonzaga, St. Joseph's, Boston College, and Georgetown).

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Final thoughts: Skip to Loafer
I was not familiar with the underlying Skip to Loafer manga when I saw a preview for the anime series, but the concept looked interesting enough. Having finished the series, it left me a bit nonplussed. The main character is Mitsumi Iwakura, an earnest girl from the countryside who attends high school in Tokyo to follow her dreams of becoming a politician who can revive her hometown. Her friends play leading roles, but the co-main character is Sōsuke Shima, an attractive young man and former child actor who takes a liking to Mitsumi. The entire series is pleasant enough, handled with care (see animation analysis) and I never considered not seeing it through to the end. But while I have high tolerance for slow-paced shows and proverbial "slice of life* pieces, but Skip to Loafer took my tolerance a bit too far. Mitsumi is charming, but not particularly interesting. Souske sees some solid development in the end, but we never get to know him quite well enough to make his past engaging. I could see a second season improving on the first with the initial character intros done, but the first, standing alone, was decent albeit forgettable.
(The opening song and animation is very good, however.)

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Penultimate episode thoughts: My Clueless First Friend
My Clueless First Friend is one of the better anime series of the season. I thought that episode 12, which aired on Sunday, was the final episode. It featured the most relationship development for the 5th grade main character duo and would have been a fine place to leave off. I was surprised at the end of the episode to see that there will be a 13th and final episode with 10 years later in the title. While my assumption is that it will be a dream episode (my understanding is that the manga is ongoing), ending with a legitimate 10-year after look would be an interesting way to conclude an anime about a 5th grade boy extending a hand to a lonely girl and becoming aware of special feelings (the clueless concept is hardly extendable as they grow older). I'm curious to see what the finale is. A good finale would make My Clueless First Friend a viable year-end top six candidate.
