@mat4nier @kitlangton How many times did your parents pick up the phone?

@kitlangton I'm still chasing this high from my youth. Took me three days over the 14.4 to get it:

The clearest sign of aging is a greatly diminished drive to install beta operating system versions.

@jm_mcgrath Great write up. Just wondering about your call to action at the end: "join the work to build something better." What are some ways to actually engage here? Interested in both high and low effort ways

@tobi It barely worked on my 386SX-16 unless you shrank the screen down to the smallest size. My dad said he'd buy me a 486DX2-50 if I paid it off by pumping gas at his full-service gas station every Saturday for the next 18 months Also totally worth it

I was grounded for weeks after my parents got the phone bill for me downloading the doom shareware from an American BBS over dial-up modem. Totally worth it.

@MyWorkoutGroup service go down? Do you have a status page?

@Cmrn_DP Oof. See you there eventually?

I'm going to start posting more frequently on Mastodon Follow me @cam_dp@mastodon.social

If I could get just one shop to move to Shopify before the end of June. Which one should I focus on? Anything goes. The bigger the better. I'm feeling confident with the step change we've shipped with checkout/queue/bots/scale. 👇🏽

@ericxiao251 @MiqJ This is so good!

@MiqJ This is pastel :). Best one on the wall from my laying on the couch POV.

I just started a class to learn how to sketch/draw - I can’t go outdoors so why not learn something indoors. Day 1 - no training, draw a robot.

@DavidMaddocks0 @iamdavidmiller Yeah for sure, definitely a lack of specifics in their Phase 2 plan

@datwright @iamdavidmiller That plan only goes to March 2021.

In case I was not clear, there is no vaccine roll out plan in Ontario. Despite having no plan, Ontario persists in trying to deflect blame to Ottawa and everywhere else. How about taking some responsibility for your job and just doing it?

@LeeValleyTools Would really love to get in on this sale. Please consider @Shopify

@klaidlaw I probably deserve that

Pretty sure I got swindled by an Amazon seller on a counterfeit part for my table saw (scary!) The Shopify direct-to-consumer movement can't come soon enough

@franklynd LOL.

Happy belated birthday canada, this hot garbage water is not the vfx birthday card you deserve...but the one you need right now ?. #ripyourtimeline

@zachaysan I think I just remember what order they are on the keyboard and use the standard number line rule (ie higher numbers go on the right) But I don't want to think about this too long or I may undo that very loose mental association

I've been programming for decades and I have an engineering degree and I still can't ever remember the order of 'less than or equal to' because in my head it's an or statement with an irrelevant ordering, so I often write it like this `=<` smh

@jmwind Hug a data scientist today

What color is the sky?

@Brideau Buy very good winter boots. Buy them in October

@burkelibbey The way I've always understood it is to go by net carbs (ie carbs minus fiber) because fiber doesn't cause your blood sugar to go up. In which case I'd say you're doing well!

@burkelibbey Yeah things like cottage cheese have a decent amount too. Just checking, but you're not counting fiber as carbs, right?

@burkelibbey I'd end up eating a lot of similar meals, but that doesn't bother me much Eggs with butter and hot sauce, salads with goat cheese and nuts, steak and roasted veggies with high fat cottage cheese, etc
