@irafcummings @threetonesun guys the singular of couscous is obviously ‘cous’

@marcamos i like to listen to it on my way into the city

clearance at walmart… howdy @andybaio !

@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. https://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 i relayed your comment to my wife and she said “this might be dark… but it’s not very stormy…”

@kgf @hbuchel wow! when i’m in new york again we should all totally get together and … uh, like look at our phones or stare out the window… never mind this wasn’t a good idea

@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.

@hbuchel our top right now is Bundaberg, second is Goslings.

@hbuchel i’m like this too, and also with having lunch with other people. “we should have lunch!” yes, we should. separately. i do not want to eat in front of you.

@revmem the Beths are awesome :)

it’s National Pet Day i guess so here’s three of ours and also why i’m trapped on the couch indefinitely.

@film_girl now you’ll be able to hack the Gibson from wherever you want

the last of the snowblower pile.

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.

The existence of Almond Joy suggests the existence of Almond Pain. It’s like Almond Sunshine and Almond Rain.

(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.”

well, thank goodness “Web3” saved us all.

@jimmynotjim @threetonesun that could replace 2-4 of the devs on my team that currently do the same thing manually

@jdarnold we’re watching the finals of the mario cart tourney. i never realized how much strategy could be employed. (probably why i always lose to my kids)

@darius @cabel get a slice of that mariah money. she’s good for a while.

@sarajw sara soueidan has you covered for NVDA https://sarasoueidan.com/blog/testing-environment-setup/

@hbuchel when i first signed up for Mastodon my only friend was Tom.

@film_girl there’s a “WaMulians” facebook group where former employees share pics of this stuff as we find it. they also printed baseball-style cards of employees!

@film_girl (former Wamu.com-er here) they did all sorts of stuff like this. i wish i had saved some of the collectibles. it was fun while it lasted!

@zachleat needed to start with E and end with -ent

@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)

@irafcummings my new flashlight is really useful but it feels dirty like i’m now associated with some sort of “tactical” “edc” group. i did not sign up for the newsletter.

Bruce Springsteen + Legalize It =

we are all building digital sandcastles.

this is how to get to my backyard now.

this much snow fell before i cleaned the truck off at 11am.

Variable is possibly undefined?

YOU’RE possibly undefined!

The whole dang SYSTEM is possibly undefined!

@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

we all lost an hour of sleep.

hi i am a professional software person with 27 years of experience.

dog sat in my chair. there was plenty of room on the couch with the boys. dog did not expect this. (dog is 69lb/31kg)

@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.

@ds i check in there occasionally to see if anyone else i knew over there has created accounts here. every time i do, i see stuff in my timeline that i do not miss.

I really need to create an alternate face ID appearance with me yawning

@beep like srsly why

@beep were it our kitten, it would be because they like to put their paws in the water bowl before drinking

today i fixed padding issues in HTML emails, then i picked up dog poop with a shovel and a bucket. guess which one i will look back on and regard more fondly.

@Meyerweb i’ve gotten to the point where i laugh at myself when this happens. sneeze and my abs go zing! - hilarious. rolling over in bed, ow! super funny. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
