Helsinki

They have very nice trams and everyone drives slowly. There's lots of nature and curious historical sites. But it's very dark and dreary in the winter

We did this to some vegetables from the discount produce bin and it was delicious. Red pepper, potatoes and Brussels sprouts

Would be great to live there, except I heard they had parasites from eating raw fish and frogs

Timid, curious, dog like in many ways. They climb trees and flip rocks. If you see too many of them eating apples in your backyard they lose some charm, but now that I'm away from them I can appreciate them more

Trying to wrap my head around this. The table on this wiki page giving the conjugate priors for different likelihood functions isuseful, and also this page of notes: https://vioshyvo.github.io/Bayesian_inference/conjugate-distributions.html#one-parameter-conjugate-models

Not only is it useful and healthy, but also fun. If you're weak willed or need a little treat you can listen to music or a podcast

Skipped breakfast today because I'm late for class after miso peed on our bed. But this stuff is pretty good. Black

On the Cave of the Nymphs in the Odyssey

I think it's really cool that this stanza of the Odyssey with no connection to the overall narrative is packed with so much symbolism that this guy wrote a treatise on it. It's very beautiful

Usually I would say it's no good. But there are worse things. Some of it has a neat aesthetic. Also sometimes its the result of something really cool like smoking or making cool items that we need. David Lynch makes it look good

Today I keep getting it mixed up with an observation model. So I'm giving it a low ranking. In truth, it's pretty cool. I will update this later when I've learned more about it
