The kiddo (nearly four) was asking about Darth Vader on a box of wheat thins, so I gave him an extremely brief rundown. Now he says "I like Dark Vader! Let's watch Dark Vader!" So we're watching Star Wars, of course, until he loses interest.

Sometimes you do find historically accurate info about Japan online. This ancient art of Dutch-catching is called dejima-jutsu and it has applications in business, health, personal relationships, and politics.
![Painting of the artificial island of Dejima off Nagasaki, the only official port where foreigners, but only the Dutch, could trade with Japan during the country's isolationist period known as Sakoku that lasted from the early 17th century to the mid 19th century.
The joke caption above says: "The japanese [sic] built an artificial island, knowing these are the natural habitat of the dutch [sic]. Soon afterwards, a flock of dutch [sic] merchants settled there, allowing the japanese [sic] to easily harvest western goods."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3a2vqx5jnnywl7jeap5d6xab/bafkreiansivpallmscizksaxalcivlmuarwgvp4ia7aftdwdiqflven7du@jpeg)

When I was a barista, I calibrated the espresso machines at the beginning of each shift. That meant starting each shift with _at least_ six shots, sometimes more.
How are you still alive!
“A 2017 study from the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology determined that up to 400 mg of caffeine per day was safe for most people. […] a single one-ounce shot of espresso contains 63 mg of caffeine. That means if you have much more than 6 shots, which total 378 mg”
