@revmem i don’t remember if you’re in the boston area or listen to podcasts, but dave epstein posts every morning and talks about the difficulties in forecasting and tends to give an over/under in situations like this. so much more context than a simple forecast summary. weatherwisdom.captivate.fm/

if you ever have or ever will do a small plumbing project, you should know that water “shut off” valves don’t always “shut off” due to age and mineral buildup. they merely “greatly slow down” but leave water slowly dripping. these caps will help and they’re super cheap. just show this photo to the associate at the home store. you can use them with teflon tape or (in my case, i used) a small rubber o-ring to make a seal while disconnecting a faucet or toilet water supply.

@hbuchel ah yeah not spicy but Goslings is the commodity. an interesting thing when you descend into ginger beer is trying to drink a ginger ale again. i find it to be vague brownish water.

When I was younger and had the energy to be more impulsive, I could totally just decide that I Wanna Rock Right Now. But at my current age, any activities related to Rocking will require 24 to 48 hours notice.

(i’ve shared this on the bird site, will recount here)

one of my best observations about new york city is this, remember EveN:

East and North

the streets that are even go East

the avenues that are even go North

this is true in general, there are 2-ways and exceptions but this will get you far. even if you’re not driving, this will help you to anticipate where traffic is coming from.

@Meyerweb message? how about: “this place is not a place of honor. no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here… nothing valued is here. what is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. this message is a warning about danger.”

@zachleat if only sites, in addition to Progressive Enhancement, would also demonstrate Progressive Encroachment: make sure the website is still usable (read: people can still give you money) even if your advertising and tracking scripts do not load (blocked via ad blockers, breaking your fragile javascript loaders, halting all JS on your website)

@eric you can really extend it to them for killing RSS in general. they got everyone dependent on Reader (even 3rd party apps), then killed off Reader. Almost like it was a strategy to eliminate any means for users to discover content without Google being able to track and monetize it

@stubbornella oh wow sounds like you had a terrible ride with this. when it finally got to me, my biggest problem in recovery was endurance. sounds like you’re on the mend, and you have the support to do it in a measured and safe way. good luck, i hope it keeps improving for you.
