you know when I was first getting started in my tech career I described object-oriented programming as being just like molecular genetics, so this tracks.

So the guy who made the successful zombie film is making a sci-fi movie named after gaming's most famous space zombies?

I worked tech support for, uh, shall we say, a national pharmacy chain. Many years ago. One time a store manager calls with an unusual problem: her cashier refuses to log into the system because her employee ID has the string "666" in it.

Close calls, bad crashes, ICE raids... It's interesting because I can see an earlier time where delivery workers might be a licensed worker class that can actually make a decent living and have some protection, as cab drivers used to be.

When GF and I go to concerts, sometimes we're to the younger side of the crowd (e.g. Cowboy Junkies) and often we're on the WAY older end of the crowd (any of the dozens of indie bands we see in a given year). I think for this one we'll be like the exact median age.

I just got an email asking me to consent to having a zoom call I’m on tomorrow be recorded. A) sure, you’re paying me. B) you have time for meetings and then listening to the same meeting all over again?

As a long-time Providenizen, I’ll say this much: the path from Cornell to Hope High does not go in the other direction. Students there are from families with no other choice. Not surprising that the law fell down a lot harder and faster on these (high school) students than Ivy frat brats.

One animated show and zero toddler, kids, or tween shows, despite them all experiencing a golden age during this period. What a deeply unserious list.

It's funny, I had forgotten about the lunch (this was a LONG time ago) but the thing I remember most about this was one 24 year-old after another asking me, "So, Dan, can you describe your ideal working environment?" I found myself wanting to say, "beating you to death with a tire iron."

I gave up on the first question because I want us to start actually enforcing the existing regulations and that wasn’t an option.

A scale of “much more” to “much less” in response to the question “would it be good for society to have more government regulation, about the same amount of regulation as there is now, or less government regulation?”

The most important thing I've learned as part of this whole dead fridge saga is that you can bake stinky silicone ice cube trays at 350ºF for an hour and the stink will go away. That's kinda neat.

It is pretty much a given that men in security jobs who are given access to new surveillance technology will immediately use it to harass women. I remember covering this 16 years ago. www.theguardian.com/uk/2010/mar/...

I totally agree with the messaging here but also this looks like a really cool indie turn-based RPG.

Poster reading: DC UNDER OCCUPATION - What we are facing and what we can do about it, with a meeting scheduled for 9/20/26 at the friends of Washington.

The poster is greyscale, of shadowy figures, with trump looming large in the foreground in front of a row of menacing looking trooper. The only features visible are their glowing red eyes, mirrored in the glowing red lights at the top of the washington monument.
