The other day, I did a round of white #DressShirt #washing using the soak method and #detergent with #Oxi. These were soaked in a separate basin not to waste water in filling up a bathtub. To help sink the clothing, a 5lbs #FreeWeight was used.
After letting it soak for 6h, I realized that I made an irreversible mistake. The water plus detergent solution was so strong that it dissolved the coating of the free weights and created #rust spots throughout the clothing.
The only good thing is that it messed up the lesser important of the two shirts.

Learning about the directory architecture opened the gates of writing custom partials.
I previous knew of their existence depending on the specific theme and usually could avoid them by injecting custom #HTML.
Now that I have been hired to work on a professional site, especially after propagating why to use #hugo over #Wordpress, I shall use the framework to its standards and fullest capabilities.

One will learn that one will need to copy (usually) the whole file from the themes directory and mirror its directory structure onto the root level.
This can be quite a nuisance if one wants to change just one #CSS value.
#DailyBloggingChallenge (322/365)
The nice thing about #hugo is how quickly one can get a site up and running.
The tricky part of it is understanding its directory architecture. This can become more difficult if using a user predefined theme, especially if one wants to one's custom spin on nonexistent parameters.

When comparing the scraping method between Goruck's and Sandlot's page they differ quite significant.
On #Goruck one can use a simple #HTML parser and extract the data from a reusable #CSS class name.
On #Sandlot one has access to the response data as #JSON and needs to create a pattern/dictionary matcher.

Implementing ICS was quite easy after finding a functional library on #npmjs.
The difficulty was creating a parsing function that takes the already existing data format and put it into the #ical one. This means the new property `duration` was introduced using the same schema as provided from the ics library.
#DailyBloggingChallenge (319/365)
The original approach was to have a text field and reuse the list of clubs. This means one would have to use the `computed` functionality of #VueJS.
The downside of this option is that in the long run the UX would decline, since the list has the potential to be very long and thereby creating increased scrolling time.
#DailyBloggingChallenge (318/365)
Not just the amount of information should be considered, though also the style of #writing.
In the past, I wrote many AARs (After Action Reports). This is quite a simple task, since one is naturally looking back and writing in the past.
To challenge myself this time around, I chose the IAR (In Action Report) approach. The difficulty is that one is writing in the present tense while looking back onto the past. This makes the grammar so much more fun to deal with.

An interesting observation I am noticing while working on a long form article. The article in on an endurance event that lasted for 9 hours. Currently, I have spent at least 9 hours to get the first draft.
The fascinating part is that I will be spending more time #writing about the event than actually participating. This highlights how much information was introduced in those nine hours that it needs more hours to process it.

The logistics are poorly constructive at the Kelenföld station, especially at the head of the tram lines 19 and 49, since there is no visual ticket vending machine.
The closest one is about 150m north on the east side of the tracks, which I would have seen on the map if I would have used it. Though instead I asked a fellow citizen that happily helped me out with purchasing the ticket at the vending machine by the suburban rails.
Although the first impression was poor, the friendliness of the fellow human evened it out.

This issue would have been fine if the bus station actually had #WiFi which feels like a lacking feature throughout the city. Neither Kelenföld nor Népliget bus station have it.
The good thing is that across the street of Kelenföld is a shopping mall Etele Plaza which has free WiFi.

First impressions of #Budapest and extended onto #Hungary is that my mobile roaming data is not working.
Eventually the network will register the account and only the one account on Android. As soon as one switches the account the network is gone as well.
This issue is independent of the network provider one chooses.
#DailyBloggingChallenge (313/365)
One thing that feels like it's lacking is up-to-date data e.g. construction sites.
This might be one hint of a vibrant mapper/community in the area.
#DailyBloggingChallenge (312/365)
Further in Wien, someone had a mapping frenzy and mapped almost every tree that typically would be part of a `tree_row`.
Additionally, building values vary in quality. Lots of `detached` are tagged as `house`, also `apartment` is tagged as `residential`.
#DailyBloggingChallenge (311/365)
The #OpenStreetMap data varies in #Wien with some sectors quite well detailed and other sector lacking in information.
One thing that jumps out, at least in sector 13, is that there is no real system how sidewalks should be mapped. Some highways are so bad that they use both systems. Meaning putting the sidewalk details onto the highway and mapping it separately.
#DailyBloggingChallenge (310/365)
#OpenStreetMap pedestrian routing is quite well in #Budapest and they typically use on highway binding for sidewalks.
Two things popped out while in Budapest:
1. The cleanliness is really good, especially very little vandalism like stickers on poles or graffiti on buildings, at least in the inner city.
2. The quality of POIs is quite high. All benches that I passed were already mapped.

Another aspect is seeing a cherry tree in the wild.
One can understand not knowing the typical rind pattern or the leaf shape, but not being able to identify the fruit on the tree is mind boggling. It should be mentioned that many of them are not fully ripe and the shades range from green/white to red, there are some that are deep cherry red moving more towards the brown spectrum.
Also understand the hesitancy of trying them, which I would haven't done also in their shoes if one is not familiar with the vegetation.
In general, only eating a small dose of an unknown plant usually doesn't have an adverse effect.

Another example is that while shooting a water reflection scene, it was realized that one could not do it efficiently from the shore, since the camera would always be in the shot. Thus, I suggested that one of us could go into the water and do it.
The immediate feedback is that one didn't bring extra clothes or a towel.
I am just imaging how complex do people imagine the task?
I just took off my shoes and socks, rolled up my pants, and got in.
It wasn't too bad. The water temperature was similar to the air temperature, around 12°C.

After reading the book [The Comfort Crisis](https://bookrastinating.com/book/548624/s/the-comfort-crisis) by #MichaelEaster I am questioning how comfortable I have constructed my life, though it is not as bad as the comfort as many city dwellers live on a daily basis.
The most prominent is the complaining of basic inconveniences like the weather.
> "It is too cold/hot/windy/wet"
This is probably one of the easiest to plan for especially if it is only a couple of hours and one isn't changing the location too drastically.

This is a new series where the hardships of developing #MyRuckClub are explained.
This is a lessons learn type of approach which can help others in similar situations.
There might be reference to a specific #devlog to highlight the result.
I am a strong proponent of leaving this planet better behind than when I arrived on it. Thus to get the most bang for a lifetime my key focus is #longevity which I attempt to achieve with #nutrition specifically #plantbased.
Longevity is good and all as long as you are not frail and weak. Ideally would be to die young at an old age. Thus I incorporate tactics from #biohacking and #primalfitness. Additionally I am an advocate of #wildcrafting, which is a super set of #herbalism.
Studied many fields of science like maths or statistics, though the constant was always computer science.
Currently working as a fullstack web developer, though prefer to call myself a #SoftwareCrafter.
The goal of my side projects is to practice #GreenDevelopement meaning to create mainly static websites. The way the internet was intended to be.
On the artistic side, to dub all content under the Creative Commons license. Thereby, ideally, only using tools and resources that are #FLOSS #OpenSource. #nobot
