I didn’t expect the trip to end like this. Last weekend, my friends and I went camping in the mountains. At first, everything was perfect – the weather was sunny, we sang songs, and told funny stories around the fire.
However, at night, it started to rain heavily. Our tents got wet, and the wind was so strong that we couldn’t sleep at all. The next morning, we found that the road back was blocked by a fallen tree.
Luckily, we had a phone signal. We called for help and a rescue team came after an hour.
We were all safe, but tired and dirty. It was a trip we would never forget!

I'm the type of minimalism guy.
My wallpaper is completely black.
Goes into my homescreen is only 2 widgets, the today view of Fantastical, and the today view of Things app.
And a habit tracker app called Productive, which I only track my simple habits, usually only 1-2 habits at once.
In the dock, it has Safari, Fantastical, Things, and Apple Notes, the 4 major apps I use in my life.

There is a metaphorical term used in China referring to a situation in the job market where companies or organizations create specific positions tailored for particular individuals, which means the person in charge of recruitment already has the target candidate for that position, but to meet the company's compliance rules, they have to go through the recruitment process anyway.
It's called 萝卜坑, a direct translation would be: radish pit.
Last night, a headhunter approached me and recommended a position in an international company. During phone communication, it seemed quite a match for my experience, but after I read the JD she sent to me afterward. I realized it might be a radish pit.
There are so many details on the JD's requirements and qualifications that you can imagine a specific person behind those words.
The headhunter looks like an experienced one. She might know this kind of situation as well. However, she had to perform the roles requested by her clients.
It's quite interesting.
Twenty years ago, this kind of radish pit situation normally happened in local businesses, and barely in international companies. But nowadays, things have been reversed.
If you want higher efficiency, you should avoid the "radish pit" situation.

Am Donnerstag muss ich in einem Café Nachmittag verbringen. In der letzten Zeit bin ich gern im Café, das sich im Bahnhof befindet, wo ich steige um. Es sieht sehr neu aus, obwohl ich das nicht sicher bin, weil ich nur seit April diesen Bahnhof verwende. Ich kann da sehr entspannen.

Sin duda, el invierno; ni siquiera tengo que pensarlo. Todas las estaciones tienen sus ventajas y desventajas, pero el invierno tiene algunas muy concretas. En primer lugar, el clima es más agradable, al menos en el sur de EE. UU., donde hace calor casi todo el año. En segundo lugar, hay más días libres y feriados nacionales, lo cual es ideal para descansar y visitar a la familia. Y por último, es el fin de un año –que a menudo puede ser un alivio– y el comienzo de otro, con la promesa de un nuevo inicio.

Oggi siamo arrivati il mare, sono già molto stanca. Abbiamo prima nuotato in piscina e dopo siamo andati alla spiaggia. Ma sono un po’ malata, e mi sento peggiore dopo di nuotare. Ormai aspettiamo la pizza che abbiamo ordinato. Già mangerò e dopo voglio dormire, ma voglio anche stare con la mia famiglia.

Please, help me to check my paragraph and help me to improve the grammatical and the coherence
This document presents the design and development of a brain-controlled wheelchair for people with motor disabilities. These individuals face daily mobility challenges, which significantly affect their quality of life. Therefore, a solution is proposed, using a brain-computer interface (BCI),that will allow these individuals to achieve autonomous mobility and improve their quality of life.
The project consisted of restoring a wheelchair and integrating a Raspberry Pi 4 as a control unit. An interface was designed that generates visual stimuli at different frequencies, each associated with a movement command, which facilitated control of the chair through EEG signals.
The result demonstrated that it is possible to develop a wheelchair controlled through brain signals at an affordable cost, with noninvasive, real-time brain control. Future work will focus on improving signal detection accuracy, enhancing the interface design, and increasing user comfort.

My work for 5 days in a row finally ends today!! Well done!! Congratulations to me!! My legs are swollen because I stand all the time during work. I need to give myself a massage.
After work, I hung out with my previous roommates. We went to eat dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant where I had chicken satay pho, which was very good. I want to try other dishes there someday. And then, we went to a cafe because we wanted to talk more. It’s been 6 months since we last met, however, we didn’t feel like we hadn't seen each other for that long. Two of them will go back to Japan this summer, so I’m sad. One of them will work in Japan, and the other will go to another country, but she hasn’t decided yet where she will go. She always says I can’t work in Japan because I don’t match the Japanese work style.
I have 2 days off in a row. On the first day, I have the other jobs as an on-call, and on the second day, I just want to sleep all the time until I’m satisfied. I have been lacking of sleep recently.
In this entry, I used “other”, “the other” and “another”. I’m confused by similar words like other, the other, another, others, and the others. How do native speakers distinguish between them?

ここに私たちは、宇宙の幼子として座り、
ピクセルで描かれた星座を見つめる。
スクリーンを安心毛布のように握りしめながら、
うしかい座に燃える本物の炎と見まごうのだ。
毛布を握るようにスクリーンを抱えながら、
ピクセル化された星座を
些細な束縛を越えて、私たちは飛び立てるだろうか?
アークトゥルス人が知る真実にたどり着けるのだろうか?
私たちは重力の濃い蜜の中を苦労して這い進みます。
その間に、高度な異星人たちは次元の狭間を自在に行き来し、
彼らの思考は、自己発光する超新星のように輝いている。
星々が私たちを高次元へと手招きしているのに、
なぜほとんどの人間は地球に縛られているのか?
私たちは肉体と時間の皮を脱ぎ捨て、
意識を太陽帆のように広げることができるだろうか?
アルクトゥルスの深き風に身を任せて?
超越とは、この青い大理石を捨て去ることではない。
その代わりに、それは異星人の眼差しを通して地球を見つめること。
それはまた、貝殻の螺旋や風に揺れる葉の一枚一枚に
潜む神聖な数学を見つけることでもある。
目を凝らせば、天はすぐそばにある。
無限とのダンスを学んだ文明から生まれたその古代の光は、
暗号化されたメッセージを運びます。
私たちは、そのダンスを学ぶ準備ができているでしょうか?
要約: アルクトゥルスの意識というレンズを通して超越を見つめる瞑想詩。
地上的な制約と、デジタル世界の幻想の向こう側で私たちを招く宇宙的覚醒との間にある緊張を探求する。
キーワード: 超越、アークトゥルス意識、宇宙意識、デジタルの幻想、恒星の知恵、次元的覚醒

Am Samstag mache ich viel Sport. Am Morgen ziehe ich mir die Sporthose an und gehe joggen. Nach dem Joggen trinke ich aus der Wasserflasche. Später gehe ich zum Schwimmbad. Ich habe den Badeanzug, das Handtuch und die Sonnenbrille. Ich schwimme eine Stunde und liege danach in der Sonne. Sport macht mir Spaß und ich fühle mich super!

Actually, I don't believe in fate or destiny. I think our lives are shaped by our decisions. I believe in free will and that we don't live according to a predetermined scenario. However sometimes something happens that throws me off this rational worldview. There are tiny moments that can suddenly and totally change our lives. Like the world would say, "So, you think your decisions are yours, right? Hold my beer!"
A few years ago, I worked at a quality assurance company in the vehicle industry and met someone by chance. We started to get to know each other, but it didn't really work out well in the long run. Regardless, sometimes she told me a few things about maybe I could be more than I am. They were just tiny thoughts, but were enough to trigger something in me and make a radical decision: new city, new goals, new profession. A field I never would have thought of.
I still don't believe in fate. But I can accept now that there are tiny moments that push us in new directions. Maybe it's not fate or destiny, but there are just tiny cracks through which strange gusts of wind can completely turn our lives upside down. I don't know why and how, but their effect is real. Almost every time I listened to such a weird gust of wind, it turned my head in exactly the direction I wanted or needed to go.

Seit langer Zeit hatte ich schon eine Faszination mit der Türkei gehabt, bin dorthin aber nur vor ein paar Jahre die erste Mal gereist. Es war Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Bevor der 2-wöchigen Reise habe ich alles sehr sorgfältig geplannt, weil ich nichts vermissen wollte. Wir haben einen wirklich ereignisreicher und spannender Urlaub gehabt, und viele historische Sehenswürdigkeiten und wichtigen Orte besucht. Unter anderem haben wir Istanbul, Bursa, Konya, Cappadocia, Pamukkale und die älteste Ruinestadt der Welt - Catalhöyük - angeschaut. Normalerweise interessiere ich mich für Städtereisen und die Natur, aber Strandurlaube begeistern mich nicht. Auf meiner Liste befand sich noch ein Ort, worüber ich vorher nie gehört hatte, hatte aber ein Foto von einer Flussmündung gesehen, die wirklich atemberaubend war: Dalyan. Nach dem Plan hätten wir dort nur einen Tag bleiben sollen....aber dieser Ort ist wirklich magisch: die Flussmündung die man aus einem Aussichtpunkt in einem Wald anschauen kann, ein wunderschöner Strand mit einer Schildkröte-Krankenhaus, und 3000 Jahre alte Gräber und Ruinen. Früher war ich schon in ziemlich viele Orte gereist, hatte ich aber dieses Gefühl nie gehabt, etwas so magisch zu finden. Ich wollte dieser Ort nie verlassen - leider konnten wir aber nur ein zusätzlicher Tag dort bleiben, weil wir schon andere Flüge gebucht hatten. Seitdem ist es mein größte Wunsch, so viel Zeit wie möglich dort verbringen. Wir sind zweimal nach Dalyan zurückgereist - tätsatlich sind wir mit dem Auto gefahren, und dort im Wald wildcampen gegangen. Für einige Zeit hatte ich einen Traum, dort eine Wohnung zu kaufen. Dann habe ich herausgefunden, dass die Zuwanderungspolitik in der Türkei sich viel zu oft verändert (ungefähr jedes zweite Jahr werden neue Regeln eingeführt), deshalb ist es nicht die beste Idee. Jetzt habe ich einen sicherer Plan: in Zukunft möchte ich einen Kastenwagen selbst ausbauen, um in Dalyan Wildcampen-Urlaub machen zu können. Ich hoffe, dass ich dieser Plan innerhalb von zwei-drei Jahren umsetzen kann.
