I want to reupholster a couch with a pull-out bed so that I can buy lots of fabric that matches it. Then I can pick a fabric element that's easy to swap out and make copies for each guest, with their name embroidered on it. For each guest I will act like their name is just on the couch, always.

I had a dream that somebody was getting rid of a rubber mallet. And I got really excited because I remembered needing a rubber mallet recently and asked them for it. And now, you know that I had that dream, because I posted it online. I do not need a rubber mallet.

Having listened to the entire* @stealingfromwizards.com series twice as of last week, I've just purchased the four DRM-free epub books from Kobo to see how names are spelled and read in my own voice. I'll buy physical copies when there's a box set with nice art 😁

I think I met an older version of myself today We had a great discussion where I guessed why certain decisions had been made in the running of his business and he'd say yeah that's exactly why I did that, and then he'd expand on it Very cool to learn from him. I hope I get to pick his brain more.

Why is anyone acting like it makes any sense to refund companies for tariff expenses when they've been so loud about passing those expenses onto consumers? The tariffs let Trump tax the working class and give rich people a tax break, now he wants to give rich people more money to make up for it.

Flying a plane is like sailing a ship, except that if you're gonna hit something, "up" is also an option. Heh, heh. Oh, you've never sailed a ship? Hold this for a second, I have to pee.

I simply have to pass this on. If you struggle with websites that don't have a dark mode, this is a game changer. You can make your own button that turns any website into dark mode. Just make a bookmark in your toolbar and paste in the javascript code from the next post:

The first item on my to-do list every day is "finish list" It's not a bit*. It genuinely prevents me from jumping the gun. As excited as I get for my day, it has to start with a finished list. *Well, can't it be both?

Are "nothing," "something," and "everything" nouns or pronouns? I feel like "something" and "thing" act as pronouns, but "nothing" and "everything" are pretty concrete, barring set theorists from the discussion (looking at you, Georg Cantor 🤨).

Ended up getting a Fairphone which was altogether too expensive from the US retailer. Not a Linux phone, but de-Googled at least. That does mean that, per this post, the git plugin still doesn't work. I learned about the Git-Sync app to sync without the local git instance and so far it is glitchy.

@brennanleemulligan.bsky.social Planning a TTRPG around a philosophical concept that's proven itself hard to chew? Good start. I struggle with where to go from there. Trying to make this world compelling for my players. We're two sessions in, they feel lost, and I've lost sight of my plan.

I'm quite satisfied, however, to find that I disagree with the result of the fair share sequence for more than two people, which apparently begins 0 1 2 1 2 0 2 0 1 I agree that the math provides this result when you expand it into ternary, but I think 2's second turn should be before 1's.

I just figured out that the Thue Morse sequence can be expressed as the parity of the sum of the binary digits of the natural numbers (with zero), and I'm annoyed but not surprised to find that Wikipedia already knew that.

My first Boston intersection on arrival as a resident 😍

Screenshot of navigation in Google maps at a Really Truly Awful intersection. There are three directions to choose from if you are in the left lane, and one of them appears to be backward, although there are four roads to take from the left lane so it's unclear which of them is not included in the options. The highlighted course of action is to go straight while cutting across two lanes of traffic.
