I have great big man hands 🙌 and am hanging on to my iPhone 12 mini until Apple 🍎 wises up. The original iPhone was the right size.

Seeing a lot of dev-on-dev harassment has got me thinking about what open software development feels like nowadays.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Every time someone tries to ban something like an e-scooter because of a serious accident, I want to scream out loud that automobiles kill over 1.5 million people every year. Here in Canada, automobiles kill five people *every day*

for a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? Loose AA battery, dunno if it works.

i was reminded that i made a helpful tool if you're somebody who files FOIA requests for email logs (as a spreadsheet) upload them to GraphEmails.com and you can generate network graphs of who's emailing each other, which you can style and filter (or use to filter the log)

screenshot of GraphEmails.com shows a network graph of email recipients as colorful dots, with a list of domains on the right side and a sidebar on the left with options to filter, style, and analyze the graph

Gently press putty into recalcitrant hole (I used on my gross waxy earbuds). Gently extract, with hole gunk sticking to putty. Repeat with clean putty area. Never push putty too aggressively into hole, patience is required. Can work with toothpicks to extract loosened gunk.

Getting to the point where I stopped reading the output and just concentrated on the test coverage was important. Rubicon crossed. Is this good news? Bad news? Who is to say… 🤷‍♂️

Gods yes, I have always, pre-everything, found it weird how news reports talk about "energy prices" or "energy production" or "energy company" when they mean oil/gas. And they still do, here in the very midst of the transition!

Dig into the history of almost any US or Canadian city and you’ll find a map like this. The freeway building boom locked in the car dependence that reduces our freedom today. But leaders at the time wanted it to be so much worse.

The city blocked off part of our neighborhood to tear down a building w asbestos. The teen said "Why did people use asbestos if it causes cancer?!" I told him people thought it was a wonder product and used it EVERYWHERE & told him how the same thing happened w radioactivity... and now AI.

They don't know any better? I went to Belgium and came back understanding that PNW "beer culture" is a joke. It's a one-note penny-whistle, relatively speaking.
