Interpolation is defined as “the insertion of something of a different nature into something else.”
TIL about an app that’ll edit your prose for you! Hemingway App should be able to help me write with better clarity and conciseness. I’m a wordy son of a gun.
TIL that Kanak Di Rakhi

TIL that Leondard Davinci was the illegitimate son of a notary and a prostitute 😯!
I was googling around and saw that there was a plugin created to allow me to use chatgpt inside of neovim! I just downloaded it and I got to say, it is quite nice 😊!
Check it out; thank me later ❤️ ! Gotta love my besties!
Heading to Paris with a friend group soon and our research revealed that we should say Bonjour to folks as we encounter them in our travels. Stark contrast to Vancouver where no one says anything to anyone 🤣.
Turns out Carl Sagan was a big proponent of Marijuana. Who knew lolz.
Lol so I got a stye and a home remedy that I’ve been using is a tea bag.
You steep the tea bag for one minute and when it’s bearable, rest the teabag on the affected eye for 5-10 minutes. Preferably use black tea.
If you’ve created too large of a hole inside of your drywall and you want to reuse the same hole for perhaps a drywall anchor, using spackle as filling won’t be enough.
Use wood filler; this’ll give you the consistency and strength you need for loadbearing purposes in the drywall.
So lol when I was exporting an SVG from Affinity, I noticed that the svg size was around 3 mb. Reducing the art board size made the export size waaaay better.
Turns out we aren’t forced to be shackled to the Adobe suite 🤣. There’s similar software called Affinity that does pretty much what Adobe does (without the arm and leg payment).
TIL that vscode has region folding! It’s like this:
//#region
const y = () => {}
const x = () => {}
//#endregion
TIL that printer ink requires a vehicle (a resin like honey) and a pigment (a powder). There’s a lot that goes into this process and it is pretty damn cool.
TIL that there are credit card scams around like skimmers and shimmers that oftentimes show up at gas station pumps and other brick-and-mortar shops.
To avoid being a victim, do not pay at the pump if they require you to insert the card at the pump (these pumps can be tampered with whilst the inside card reader most likely will not be). Pay with tap when you can
Also, don’t forget to check your transactions regularly and check out free credit reporting services like Borrowell.

TIL that there’s a dope resort spot in South Asia. Maldives.
My friend Anil showed me an awesome breakfast recipe that incorporates grape tomatoes and ricotta cheese (both things I hardly eat…until now 😼)
My girl taught me about the California stop; it’s essentially the same thing as a rolling stop but cooler sounding.
I’ve always believed wholeheartedly in the following quote,
A fool will learn nothing from a wise man. But a wise man will learn much from a fool.
Yesterday evening, I was approached by a visibly homeless woman and amidst her musings about how Canada is a flawed nation where people are left to suffer as corporate greed consumes the very essence of the city and about how one doesn’t necessarily need a highschool education to be intelligent, she dropped a nugget of wisdom on me that I’ll carry with me for quite some time.
According to this woman, and I googled this after to make sure that it was in fact true, the people of Denmark actively assisted in helping Jewish Danes escape from Hitler by evacuating them to neutral Sweden.
By no means am I saying that this woman is a fool; please don’t misunderstand me. What I’m trying to hit home with this TIL is that wisdom can come from anywhere, whether it’s a college professor or a homeless woman who, and I can’t make this up, began urinating in her pants mid conversation… everyone has got something to offer.
Turns out a spade is also a suit for cards and a type of shovel! 😱.
There is no such thing as “potato seeds”… it’s just a “seed potato”! That is… there are only potatoes in this world 😱.
