every once in a while people think i'm an actual restaurant twitter.com/LatinoFoodFest…

@HRBlockAnswers You will, of course, be refunding all charges and covering all penalties for all affected users right?

We are working to resolve the issue quickly and ask clients to please try again later today or print and mail their return if that is more convenient.

We are aware of an issue preventing some desktop software users from e-filing their returns. Online clients and clients working with our tax professionals virtually or in person are not impacted.

@priscillapants also either way, uh, mosquitos?

@FromPhDtoLife Usually either breakfast tacos or savory oatmeal. Some days though it's more like a banana followed by intermittent spoonfuls of almond butter straight from the jar. I do always use a fresh spoon though, so, you know, taking the high road over here

What do you eat for breakfast?

@WhyCancelled Who's there

@texastacos knock knock

@texastacos why are there roaches and gangs

@jenqueue Lol I did not, how so?

@jenqueue I'm wondering similar, what's the over-under on DT getting his account unfrozen

@fmailhot Oh shit where to?

@HRBlockAnswers this could all be easily avoided by a) defaulting to the correct writing location, such that it matches what was just shown; b) not failing silently on a critical step; c) actually verifying the return had been written before exiting 4/

@HRBlockAnswers So, when I quit the program (as necessarily happens to install State, AFTER COMPLETING MY ENTIRE FEDERAL RETURN), the software is just like "okie dokie brb!" and you lose all the progress you've made. 3/

@HRBlockAnswers bug report, multiple and big! On Mac. Software defaults to the wrong location for saving return on setup. After importing prior year's return from a mounted volume, despite designating Documents folder as destination, modal defaults to the import location 1/

@MicahGoldwater @priscillapants seconding. i'm still on the same pair of chacos i bought in 2011. wear em probably 200 days a year. i like the ones with the toe loops

@priscillapants I got Chaco’s in Austin in like 2008 and I think am now on just my second pair

@arossotto @priscillapants @MicahGoldwater God damn I miss red cap chick

@arossotto "they don't know how many muscles it actually takes to smile"

that classic facial electromyography diagram (Fridlund and Capaccio '86?) kinda looks like the guy in that introvert (?) meme. really makes you think

@arossotto @aserlich @VincentAB @BerwickElissa Oh god, beamer that takes me back! Um This feels possible at least for basic types of content, but I'd probably be tempted to just half-ass this by writing a basic conversion script and then debugging all the errors.

@aserlich @VincentAB @BerwickElissa paging @texastacos

Does anyone out there know if there is an automated way to convert LaTeX beamer slides into markdown slides? @VincentAB? @BerwickElissa

@languagehacker I don't even know what to blame. It's in that awkward zone where it's just so incredibly bad and a very special kind of bad but not the kind that I can actually recommend anybody bother watching

@languagehacker Pig is bad in a very hard to describe way

@alex_gude I woke up this morning to a nice discrete approximation of a normal distribution on my ceiling

@FromPhDtoLife When I was an instructor during grad school, I once discovered that not a single one of my students had seen Bill and Ted's excellent adventure so I assigned the movie as extra credit

A professor friend let me know that none of her pop culture references landed the other day. None! Zero. "Not a single one!" 😅
