Hurricane Dorian is currently approaching Florida. I came across how they are named, and it’s quite unusual. There’s a pre-prepared list of names, with each successive name starting with the next letter of the alphabet. Each season starts with A. If they run out of letters, they move on to Greek ones. Names repeat every six years, but! if a hurricane turns out to be destructive and many people suffer, its name is retired and is never used again. Two years ago, Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Nate were retired. Female and male names alternate, as do the years that start with male and female names. Now it’s Dorian, starting with a D, so it’s the 4th. This year, there are also Olga and Tanya, but it probably won’t get to them. 15th and 17th.

Someone really got into it, huh?

This is great) my playlist for today

mix of Slayer + Ace of Base, Metallica mixed with Macarena, Grebenshchikov and the band Serebro, Kadysh eva with Megadeath, System of Down with the band Kombinatsiya and their “Bookkeeper”, well, all the good stuff 🙂

The Amazfit GTR 47mm finally reached me, and I must say I’m absolutely thrilled, highly recommend it. There’s a sale on gearbest right now, they’re going for 150 bucks. And they are quite well-made. AMOLED, 326PPI, Gorilla glass, 50m waterproof, dual GPS/GLONASS, the battery lasts 24 days, integrates with Strava and Apple Health, and of course, it supports texts, notifications, calls. After two days of active use, 100% dropped to 99%, so 24 days without charging looks entirely plausible. It also has some nifty but useless features like an altimeter and an air pressure sensor.

Walking through the park, I notice with my peripheral vision that something is standing right beside us, watching. About two meters away. We took a couple of steps back and had a photo session. The deer posed for another minute without moving, then ran away 🙂

YouTube needs to learn to analyze intonation and insert ads after completing a logical block. Or at least after a sentence. At the same time, it should also analyze videos and, if there are options, choose the one with video seams. Currently, they just bluntly cut the original video in the middle of a word. It’s really doable.

Crypto token

Of course, I don’t use Google Mail’s built-in messenger, and here’s one of the reasons. By default, anyone can add me to chats and today I discovered that I’m already added to many 🙂 There are no other side effects, but the list of recent chats is cluttered and it’s unclear how to clean it up

Today on our roads firefighters are collecting money to fight muscular dystrophy. It’s their annual campaign, which has been going on for about thirty years, called “fill the boot”. This year they have QR codes on the boots for online payment) by the way, our county has been the leading fundraiser among all US counties for ten years now.

I think the 66th can make a name for themselves through this
