(Ryan) Packed house of Nerds in this City

Nerds seated in Town Hall Seattle to see Ray Delahanty, Ryan Packer, Alexis Mercedes Rinck, and Claudia Balducci speak. It's pretty full

I knew this as a Bil Keane (the Family Circus cartoonist) bit: www.huffpost.com/entry/the-co...

Excerpt of an article explaining that:
at the 1992 NCS meeting in Washington, D.C., Bil joked that when attendees had the chance to meet (the first) President Bush, he filled out a form that included the boilerplate question about whether he advocated the overthrow of the U.S. government by force or violence. "I put down violence," deadpanned Keane.

I just renewed my tabs for my motorcycle. Fully loaded with gas and me and all my gear, we're talking maybe 525 or 550lbs. WA wants $35 for my vehicle's weight. I just pulled the registration of one of my trucks at work. 14,700lbs unloaded, up to 26,000 loaded. $209 for its weight.

Road damage chart showing that an 18,000lb vehicle does approximately infinity times more road damage than a 350lb vehicle.

JESUS, I SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR OTHER PEOPLE, AND I WANT THAT FOR ME.

And "me" is the state of Washington.

I do not care at all about anybody who says permanent standard time is better: they are wrong and I am right.

Just yesterday I saw this and my first reaction was "wait, people still change their minds when presented with new information?" It felt like such a quaint concept.

Screenshot of a Pew Research survey showing that more American adults, particularly young men, report believing that sports gambling is bad for society when asked now (July 2025) than when Pew asked in the past (July 2022).

Screenshots of a tweet saying "Hey Ryan if you're going to quote me, use my name OK? For the bozos in your comments: the concept that local zoning decisions should be made locally is fundamental. Clyde Hill is fully built out. No one here wants multi family housing forced on us. We're a small town."

Venn diagram showing that you can have any two of "stable services," "low density," and "low taxes," but you can't have all three.

Microsoft answering my most important questions about Windows 10 support. “When does support end?” “Great, thanks. So how do I put my computer in the trash?” “Perfect. Oh, one last thing - do I need to put my computer in the trash?”
