“Now, who gets the deer, me or the dog?”

000

I picked up a dog crate in preparation for taking our lab on a flight. It’s been years since he was in a crate, and he is loving it. He’s been in it from the minute I got it inside and he is choosing to sleep in it instead of his bed.

That's what I chose to do too. But it was weighing on me.

Good suggestion! That makes me think differently about calling. "I just passed a family on the road that might benefit from free car seats for their children," as opposed to, "I just saw a family driving with kids unbuckled in the car! They seem down and out; let's make life worse for them!"

I thought about calling in to report them, but decided against it.

I was conflicted the other day. Curious what others would do. At a light in town next to a 2000s minivan with temp tags. Back window is busted out and covered in a trash bag. Mom driving, Dad in front seat bouncing an infant on his lap. 4-year-old walking around in the back. All happy and laughing.

Thanks. 🙂 Any idea what prompted the initial trolling? Ned say he liked beans or something?

I’ve wondered what the story was for years. Care to share a bit more about how this all started?

Flying is when I’m happiest to be closer to 4’2” than most people.

Tomorrow evening our electricity prices are hitting £1/kWh, which is so expensive that apparently the designer of this app never foresaw that

screenshot of the Octopus Watch app which has a line graph with the half-hourly per-kWh prices over the next 24 hours. the vertical axis goes from -5p at the bottom to 85p at the top, and there’s a very expensive section where the line just spills out over the top edge and overlaps the graph title

Wikipedia is the last major, visible platform for facts that they can’t buy. The attacks are going to be merciless.

What's the longest you think you've gone putting your headphones on at your desk and forgetting to start music?

And account for the randomized amount of give that the wire will have, and don’t forget that the angle of the nail affects the sawtooth hangers, and then remember the drywall demons will disturb your drill bit, but there are always Command Strips and beer.

I… enjoy? building IKEA furniture, I think. Happy to help.

Even if you don’t get to relax, I still recommend the extra hugs. Moments like that can stick with ya for a while.

Sometimes there's a glitch and you can see the matrix. A few hours after reading this paragraph in Neal Stephenson's Polostan, I was behind this truck on I35. I mean, srsly, who gets that as a bumper sticker??

Oh gosh; that’s scary and I’m sure painful. I’m glad the injury wasn’t as bad as feared. I hope you’re able to get some extra hugs and relaxation.

My favorite part of paying for ad-free streaming services is definitely all of the unskippable ads.

Paradoxically, now you have once posted about “sports.”

The backend engineers who built it were thinking, “I can’t believe my manager thought they needed to hire one of those useless UX designers. This is easy.”

Just a hop, skip, and a jump over the North Pole.

I’d say “congrats” was still appropriate then.

I did notice there wasn't anything in the gitignore specific to any OS, so I was a bit uncertain about the PR. The global approach makes sense.

Huh; thanks. I suppose I can accept that answer/solution.

I’ve had it since it was Verizon FiOS, across 4 homes for 16 years. Get it. Symmetric gigabit with 2ms ping, always. It’s lovely.

Call me old fashioned, but I don’t think conversations with “HR” should involve them presenting me a list of “/debug” commands that might help them understand my question.

I’m choosing to believe the python is cropped out of the picture, and that was its prey.
