A former teammate would always say “package” (while staring at types named *Packet) presumably because of in-the-head double translation. Not sure if that refutes or confirms this hypothesis.

Here I was thinking that incarcerated prisoners make stop signs and license plates. As it turns out, in Oklahoma, there is a prison-based call center doing push polls for conservative candidates. oklahomawatch.org/2026/08/24/w...

I wanna make sure everyone understands what this means: when you pull TikTok data for the same hashtag at the same time using the official API and a scraping tool, you'll get two completely different datasets.

3. Local news covered issues like academic outcomes & bond issues more, but if voters wanted to know more about conservative groups’ involvement, it was concentrated in national coverage. National news cannot cover each school district leading up to Election Day, leaving local voters under informed.

Hey so Visual Studio 2026 Insiders is out, and it's very exciting, but if you edit Razor files I have a personal favour to ask. For the last ~18 months I, and a few of my friends, have been working on a new foundation for the Razor editor called "Cohosting". I'd love for you to try it out.
