This is probably the most I’ve been invested in the Taiwanese elections since they started in 1996. #teamtaiwan

Mmmm… wintermelon juice buckwheat tea with pudding

Probably over 15 years since the last time I was here and turns out, it’s really good sober too!

Didn’t realize the 2021 Cyrano was done as a musical! It didn’t get great ratings but I thought it was fun. Thought Peter Dinklage was great and loved seeing “Cora” (from Music & Lyrics) all grown up

I miss my Dad.

My metro ride is now not as long as my train ride was then, but a headphones vendor or vending machine at my metro stop would still make a lot of money off of me.

@blargster I don’t see “ten” as a grouping whereas I think of the others as groupings.

@RoboJenny Touche, but slightly different use case there. Actually I think the reason for the difference is that we have words for "two ten" (twenty) or "three ten" (thirty) but not for the others, so we need to clarify how many thousands ("a thousand"="one thousand").

Why does English use an article before "a thousand", "a million", "a billion", "a dozen" but not for "a ten"?

okay so AI can literally read our minds now. a team from osaka was able to reconstruct visual images from mri scan data using stable diffusion. first row is the image presented to the test subject, second row is the reconstructed image from mri data. wild.

When your beloved father dies on your birthday while you are in the middle of moving interstate, at least nobody tries to tell you it's not awful (yet, and hopefully ever).

Please send comforting pet photos/animal gifs?

Cute article about how dogs might use smell to tell time. npr.org/sections/goats…

ChatGPT could be a good debugging companion; it not only explains the bug but fixes it and explain the fix 🤯

@smaksimo Meanwhile I’ve been eyeing JNCO jeans 😂

@blargster @masonadams Using glutes so hard! My sciatica has been super flaring up lately so I’ve been trying to work them out again

@masonadams Mostly my podiatrist and PT. Nothing sophisticated, just trying to A) get my cadence up to 170+ spm and B) use glutes more when running. Trying to rely less on calves/quads exclusively.

First race of 2022! And since trying to revamp my running style/cadence. Did well despite having to walk a couple of times.

@blargster 6:50 pace includes walking?!? Well done!

@blargster If you like West Wing, The Newsroom is excellent

What are the best TV shows that don't require too much active visual attention? (E.g. West Wing is great in large part due to dialogue.) I've got a project that needs visual but not verbal attention. I guess I could listen to podcasts/books-on-tape as well.
