2. put yourself ON MUTE
3. if you need to talk, unmute yourself, talk.
4. put yourself BACK ON MUTE

i think most of my house projects could be easier if i invented a time machine, went back and gave the previous owners of my house a level and a stud finder.

can we all agree to stop doing 'ugly sweaters' this year? they were only funny when worn unironically or out of obligation

in the spirit of the AKC's "ASCOB" abbreviation ( http://www.westminsterkennelclub.org/breeds/cocker-spaniel-a-s-c-o-b/ ) i propose, for web development:
AMBOC: Any Modern Browser Other than Chrome.
usage: "i built a cool new feature!" "yeah? does it work in AMBOC?"

also, for the younger people, middle-aged folks are going to make jokes about "cyber monday" because in the earlier days of the internet "cyber" meant something different.

i haven’t checked my email yet today - i wonder, is it “cyber monday?”

i also want them to know proper sentence structure, but, clearly, i am not the one to teach them that.
mike susz
@mikesusz
i want to teach them how to use the tools at their disposal to fix their situation. or, to recognize when it’s not fixable. then decide; is this transient? do i need help? or just deal with it.
mike susz
@mikesusz
i’m frustrated when they complain, e.g. that the car we’re riding in is just too warm or too cold. take off your coat? or put it on. adapt.

@mikesusz
i hope someday they see the challenge, know the limits, are curious to experience. when we hit -17F here in Rindge a few years back, i went outside. i had to know.

ah, to teach my kids that we live in a climate that is inhospitable to mankind and the only way we survive is to build bulwarks of technology to protect us from relentless nature

drop a piece of lettuce on the floor, cats act like you’re trying to poison them. let them near houseplants and they think it’s some sort of buffet.
