I spent much of today catching up on Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine (20th Edition), with Part 2 (Cardinal Manifestations and Presentation of Diseases) and Part 3 (Pharmacology) done. I'm now starting on Part 4 (Oncology and Hematology), and it does seem rather interesting, though it will take me some time to get to it.
I also finished Death du Jour today. Next book on the list is Zero to Sold: How to Start, Run, and Sell a Bootstrapped Business by Arvid Kahl. Not sure what to expect, but I suppose it is worth a read.
For the confused, always remember that I track my current reading list.
It felt like a nice day for some 麻辣, and I got it too. This time, however, I cut down the number of ingredients I was picking such that the final price was about 40% of what I normally ordered. I figured I owe it to myself to not stretch out my stomach too much so that I can actually continue on weight loss.
I fought the Wither in the Quarantine Zone in Minecraft today. It was a tough fight, but my full Netherite armour set (``Commando Armour''), combined with Smite V netherite axe (``Adventurer's Axe Mk 2'') and my really overpowered Power V Infinity bow (``Infinite Hunter Mk 2'') made short work of it all. I felt a little silly after building an obsidian bunker deep underground to protect my spawn point, but in the end, it was worth it. I found that my extended duration nightvision potion was an important factor of success, as I did not have to worry about lighting up a terrain that was constantly being re-modelled by the Wither---I could just focus on smacking the Wither down.
At the same time, I was watching the locally cached download of the Persona 5 speedrun in the background at 2.5× speed. That was when I realised that the default file-caching duration set in VLC was insufficient to feed that voracious data rate---I had to crank it from 1000 ms to about 20000 ms or something. Not doing it caused some severe audio drops, and it was only after enabling and checking on the log information (``messages'' in the interface) that I figured out the problem.
I think that's about it. I should get a shower and prepare to turn in for the night. I can't keep sleeping at 0200hrs each day, only to be awakened 6-ish hours later due to the sunlight.
