@treyethan Try the Tailscale feature for file transfers, Taildrop. It's just a Share button on Android and a shell command on Linux.

I have a big screen-recording video (~3GB) on my Android I’d like to get to my iPad. Should be easy, right?—I have a SMB server on my LAN. iPad’s Files app lets me just “Connect to server…”. But… How in heck do I share it FROM Android?

@norootcause Car dealership inventory orders was the example of stocks and flows in "Thinking in Systems" illustrating that delays in feedback loops cause oscillations.

The car dealership thing is a great systems thinking case study. Even though the auto manufacturers have more power at the federal level, the dealers have more power at the state level, and so, historically, the dealers have won.

@norootcause Out of respect, Just out of curiosity,

Out of ____

@jordonaut Trains are the new planes, bikes are the new cars, walking around is the new staying indoors.

I miss being able to casually go out. Like to a bar or restaurant. How are y’all navigating COVID risks?

@mikejurney @ahidalgosre Nethack fans have one too, but they tell it differently every time.

@mekkaokereke I have a Bike Friday Hauladay for driving two passengers around NYC, until they graduated to Woom bikes, but it's still useful for grocery runs with Carsick Design side bags.

@__apf__ Sheri S. Tepper for second-wave feminist classics, like The Gate to Women's Country (1988).

what's your favorite pre-2010 sci-fi book that isn't from a very famous author (not Le Guin, Asimov, Bradbury, etc)?

@illocutie This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build outside fictional East European cities like Beszel and Ul Qoma.

Wittgenstein's builder example shows us that a smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is still possible. In this essay I will

@treyethan @amywestervelt Biden invokes the DPA to control prices at the pump and Congress funds a gas tax rebate, making hay for midterms. Segue to, FEMA managing production drawdown and one-way ratchet prices until we're paying the true cost of emissions.

People, like, know that the US is a net petroleum exporter, right? And that there are thousands of drilling permits going unused? Unless the GOP is calling for Biden to seize and nationalize domestic petroleum production, how do they imagine his getting gas prices down?

@junyer Having a great video conferencing setup is a necessary privilege too. People complain about the difference if I use a laptop webcam, instead of my Raspi HQ cam and MXL 990 mic.

@brothers At this point, yes. That or to use the shredder.

When my manager asked how I had spent my WFH office setup allowances, they were baffled to learn that I have been using only a 13" laptop for several years. I don't need a lot of screen real estate to be productive, connected, informed and continuously shitposting.

@selectric401 Hopefully to discover the historical conundrum of the 50hz and 60hz frequency difference between eastern and western Japan's electrical grids.

does anyone remember why i have the wikipedia page "Electricity sector in Japan" open here on my laptop?

@Popehat Sorry to ratio you on this, but he was at an *airport*. Seems like a flight risk to me.

@SwiftOnSecurity Jokes are just lies we tell our friends.

I once saw someone with autism critique neurotypical humor as "lying to eachother for fun then shunning anyone who finds you trustworthy" and I think about that a lot.

@BillyTheDragon @sophiebits I love Square One, and I have been showing it to my children because it is net positive. Everything holds up to scrutiny on rewatch, except the unrealistically benign depiction of LEO by Mathnet. ACAB.

@sophiebits I remember when I was 10 or 11 y/o, the PBS TV show Square One regularly had these kinds of problems and I would have paper ready and follow. I was always so amazed so I tried to come up with my own math problems like these, but they never worked. 😂

when I was in elementary school my sister told me something like “pick a number. add 6. add your original number. divide by 2. subtract 3. now you have your original number” and I remember my mind was absolutely blown

@sophaskins Non-gendered villians, like tyrant, rent-seeker, middle-manager

@bdowney Try on "foreshadowing"?

@lizthegrey If emissions reduction and carbon dioxide removal aren't sufficient, then we can turn to solar radiation management.
