I hate OMRON.

Zen Support Software doesn't even support accent marks in comments. They show up fine on screen, but when you print your ladder they're all converted to Chinese characters. So now I have to write my comments without accents.

I hate cheap Zen PLCs.

I spent half an hour wondering why my inverse counter didn't work yesterday. Oops lol, inverse bit was under counter bit even if they were linked in parallel so fuck you, I'm counting up!

Feels so good to be back on an exercise regime.

10,000 steps
60 squats
5 flights of stairs
setups (haven't determined a definite amount yet)
pushups (haven't determined a definite amount yet)

So, anyone else on here living with type one diabetes?

I don't have it, but if I don't change my ways I'm sure I'll get type two diabetes in time. It's a big reason why I'm changing my eating habits and exercising more.

Anyways, the last month has definitely been a roller-coaster for me, but if there's a silver lining to everything it's the crystallization of what I want in life and the determination to put in the effort to work towards it. Before I was content with waiting for my ship to come in, for my life to change, even for people to message me, but no more. I try to put in a lot more effort towards everything...work, keeping in touch with people, even getting things done here. I've also come to realize the importance of having experiences and just having fun, preferably with friends and with people that you love. Life is just too short to be content to wait on things to maybe happen...you have to make them happen yourself.

I also have been putting in a lot more effort lately. Not only am I going to school, but I volunteer tutor French and also volunteer a few hours a week at a second-hand bookshop. I also crack open the books, actually study and do my homework. In other words, I'm being a tryhard. It's been paying off too; lowest grade to date is 94% in relay and programmable logic.

The downside is that I feel I barely have time for distractions, especially compared to a few months ago where I had infinite time for leisure.

When it comes to leisure, I ask myself if it's an experience that's going to add satisfaction to my life or a distraction that's a waste of time. For example, I've always had a tendency to end up on Youtube watching videos for hours on end, and I don't want to really do that anymore, but I still want to play games with friends.

Right now I'm putting my efforts into my work here, my exercise regimen, and keeping up with a routine that gives me more time to do things. For example, one of the first things I do during the day is check my personal email/newsletters and then check what my friends posted on Facebook...then I don't check either for the rest of the day. This way my emails don't pile up over the course of a few days, and I don't waste a lot of time rechecking Facebook.

So it's this time of year again...

oh my god they resurrected rowboat girlyman and this is the first i'm hearing about it

Oh this again. I hope they eventually make a more interesting NS game. Maybe one that actually uses your nation's main stats, that needs to do more.

Guess I'll be ready to Research Cure immediately, important for the big population nations to get an early start if I remember right, if they still use that design where whether you survive or not depends on how quickly you log in after it begins and not much else. Not much of an event really.

Usually, Wintreath is well-organized enough that even if you do nothing, you'll probably be safe simply due to the sheer number of cure missiles being sent your way.

Oh I forgot they added that. Either that didn't exist the first time, or I didn't notice it the first time they had this event.

Wintreath often ends up being a hospital region and refuge for afflicted nations to stop by for cures before setting out again.

I'll be focusing my efforts on New Hyperion, but that's simply because I have the administrative duties there, and since I have trust that Wintreath will be quite successful as usual.

I wanted to see how good tea off the Internet was, so I ordered two blacks (a darjeeling from the Oaks estate and some Yunnan da ye) and a green (regular ol' gunpowder tea). I gotta be careful, else this will kill my wallet.

So it's this time of year again...

Since there's under 48 hours until Z-day, what is the game plan this time?

It's probably "Cure Everything," but I'm asking more in terms of coordinating with the RMB and announcing those plans to people who weren't around last time.

@Wintermoot are we getting another Twilight's Sentinel subforum?

In the past, I believe we've mostly coordinated over on IRC. Will probably shift over to Discord, I'd guess.

But basically it involves one person calling out targets and everyone spamming them until they're cured. Often, people on the RMB wanting to help but not on the chat will be able to figure who they should target based on who everyone else is targeting.

And watching out for infected or horde-embracing nations moving in, either for help or to attack.
