@Malcolm_Ocean just stopping by Twitter and remembered how much I appreciated your voice. I do hope you’ll dabble with the Fediverse at some point. Don’t think I’ve said hi since intend.do got the new name. Hope you’re well!

@ashleymcnamara This isn’t normal? I guess it’s less odd for for remembering a stillborn child, I could just say it’s their birthday.

I don’t know why past me decided to play current me like this, but grief makes you do weird things like add your moms death date/time to your calendar.

I have to wonder at what point politicians will start being banned from Twitter for mentioning their Mastodon id.

@pcktbot +1, 1.1.1.1 is almost certainly faster than a home built dns, simply because it’s already populated it’s cache while a local unbound has to recurse for every new domain.

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 15 years, since 11 Aug 2007 (via @twi_age).

@Lord_Arse I actually bought an IDE cable last year. Because my box had a hard drive in it from long ago.

By age 30, you should have a big box of random cables which you 'might need someday'.

@ethanschoonover Pro-evaporust, or anti?

@GetLomi @TacoTimeNW Well, we should definitely get @TacoTimeNW’s bioplastics reviewed for approval once they have their supply chain issues resolved.

@josephholsten @TacoTimeNW Hey! We don't recommend adding polystyrene (or other non-compostable items) to Lomi - only Lomi Approved bioplastics should be used. We do have a list of Lomi Approved products in our FAQ for guidance on this which is worth checking out!

I was surprised some plastic from my last @tacotimenw order didn’t break down in my @GetLomi composter. Looking at the sauce cups today, they’re resin code 6, polystyrene. That’s not even recyclable, right?

My family has been sick since this Saturday night, so I’ve been mindlessly listening to the Alex Jones trial. It’s really strange to catch up to real-time just as the defendant cross-ex manages to hit today’s climax.

My favorite thing about international news is discovering Scott Morrison is apparently such a bad PM, it’s his fault my auto fuel prices are high.

I wonder how many times the fire-in-a-theater argument is going to get misused in the next few days.

@alanc @ahl @JoeBlubaugh @jack @bcantrill That very blog post is what got me excited about Solaris beyond its historical value.

@ahl @JoeBlubaugh @jack @bcantrill web.archive.org/web/2007101108… has links to the bug report and commit to fix it from 15 years ago.

I signed up for Twitter 15 years ago after @jack asked if we had “fixed the problem with Solaris yet”—the performance problems Twitter hit were not due to Solaris, but @bcantrill used some creative DTrace to diagnose them.

@kejadlen @tenderlove “Much less seasoned” ;-)

Oden night! 🍢

@KirinDave @bascule “Also, my moral judgement of you is clearly not armchair ethical philosophy. I’m an expert in the field.”

Oh no, I pointer out “cryptofracking” (mining Bitcoin with wasted flare gas) is greenwashing and now my mentions look like this

@bascule Ooh, let’s wrap nuclear waste packets in heat exchangers and use those to fuel inefficient distributed consensus protocols. Surely that will be good for the environment!

@DGRMSP And if our phones are also set to UTC, making all calendar invites from us suspect?

Gays who talk in IATA codes and set their phones to military time are the horsegirls of the sky.

But it’s important to note that our standard should at least be somewhat lower than the absolutely worst death rate of the 2020 first wave peak. And 3 weeks ago, more people were dying in my community than back in the first wave with no vaccines and little masking.

So given the data available today, when will I have access that can support/refute a hypothesis that severe infections are below the 2020 peak? Likely not until we have all the data in for Mar 3, the first day the prelim data says was below that peak. Can’t wait for March 24!

At the gym today I got a few funny looks for still sporting my N95. But I’m no evermasker! I put together a standard for when I feel comfortable unmasking and it’s based on (gasp!) evidence instead of the shifting winds of politics.
