Meandering Me @meanderingme.bsky.social · 02/08/2026My brother and I were engaged in an intense 3am discussion in New Orleans. The street was too loud to hear, so we found a quiet bar. The stripper on the bar hugged my face in her cleavage, holding me tight, saying “honey, I don’t know what’s going on but you need this!” So maternal and needed. 000

Meandering Me @meanderingme.bsky.social · 09/09/2025Good question. Depends on who is asking and what contract they are holding It was simply the first timestamp that popped into my head, but it’s hard to measure “arrived at warehouse”. Do you mean when the truck arrived, when the goods were unloaded, or when the goods are stocked and ready to sell? 010
Meandering Me @meanderingme.bsky.social · 09/09/2025I segment data in “fact” and “opinion” buckets so we can easily identify which is which and tune our models. Ex: “Arrived at port timestamp” is a fact. “Arrived on time” is an emotional opinion, depending on which promised date it’s compared to. “Arrived on time” gets litigated in a dispute. 110
