Computer geekery, hacking WordPress, reading, watching movies, taking pictures, making chainmail. That covers it

@RadioFreeTom Oof, do you know the kinds of storm you're brewing before you hit send or do they catch you by surprise? This most recent one is be more intense than I was expecting it to be.

@SonnyBunch I graduated college in '02 and I still have this dream on a regular basis. The relief I feel upon waking up and realizing it's not real is unbelievable.

I've never had the "showing up to class" naked dream but every six weeks or so I have the "you signed up for this class and forgot about it and never showed up and now you can't graduate" dream.

@strobist I share this trick with everyone! Also the plastic adjustment slides. I'm 3 foam replacements to my 9 yo Sony NC headphones which will be pried from my cold dead hands.

@toddhuish @Timodc @ezraklein Thank you! I came here hoping someone would have posted on this book title because nothing was coming up in my searching (for "Health and Wellness, a Breakdown" ). 😂

If you want to hear a blood boiling perspective on the hypocrisy and cynicism of Democratic elites in the face of the looming Trump threat from someone who speaks in soothing dulcet tones…do I have the podcast for you. Today’s guest: @ezraklein podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@RadioFreeTom I'm not sure Biden lost any voters last night but people seem to miss the fact that he needed to GAIN with the debates or this isn't going to work.

@wpbuilds @vegasgeek @MarcBenzak Nathan, that's awesome! I also am used to reading way more than I have in recent years. Diving back in the last couple years has been a real joy. I'm reflexively so happy for you

@vegasgeek @MarcBenzak @toddhuish This is going to sound like boasting, but I hope that you understand the context. 2023, I read 2 books, painfully over months. 2024, I'm now just about to complete the 15th book. I'm returning to a childhood habit, which I gave away for the lure of mobile phones. It's profound.

@wpbuilds @vegasgeek @MarcBenzak No games, no insta, no tiktok, my reading rate shot up -dramatically- Basically anytime I'm pulling out my phone I'm glancing at Twitter or pulling up my most recent book. It helps I'm all e-book now as well. I miss paper books but I can't beat the convenience.

@jb510 @AmyMasson Yeah, this really feels like what killed it. All the weird rules and excessive limitations just ripped the fun out of it. Who wants to do what is effectively a labor of love when it feels like somebody is actively throwing sand in the gears?

@AmyMasson Covid might have been the death blow, but I think central's "rules" pre-covid are really the primary cause. Requiring new organizers, jumping through speaker/sponsorship/pricing hoops just all became too much to bother with and all those camps were on life support before covid

This makes me so sad... Orange County, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, San Fransisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Clarita, Inland Empire, Sacramento... all used to happen annually. Now, nothing. Pheonix was the only #WordCamp in the entire region in the past few years.

@Timodc @stephenfhayes ...and it just keeps going. I'm with @RadioFreeTom on this there is what you want, and there is reality. And I don't think Hayes is viewing this in reality. Someone vs anarchy? I endorse someone. We can support AND be critical but Hayes has crossed that boundary IMO

@Timodc @stephenfhayes The most infuriating podcast you've done yet. In a good way. There's a reason I listen to the Bulwark and that is to balance my internal nature. But jesus, listening to Stephen Hayes was killing me. Thank you for being the measured voice. Grade D, my fat, wide ass...

@Timodc @amandacarpenter I told my wife I was listening to a pod with @Timodc & @amandacarpenter , smart, I love them, but they didn't know the aspirin/knees contraception thing and I was shocked. Are we just super old? And she said "What aspirin thing" so, not as common as thought.

@tomgrin @RadioFreeTom The rug is a discontinued Ikea area rug (I wanted a couple more when I moved and they were history) and the leather chair is something I found for 20 bucks in the local Goodwill which is to this day my most favorite thrift store find

@_brian_s @RadioFreeTom Lol easily my biggest conversation starter especially when people of a certain age come to my house. The best part is that it is actually converted to work with regular phone lines not that I have one of those anymore.

@AngelaDoesThat @estockbridge 1) I'm totally adopting this and b) it reminds me of when my 7yo couldn't come up with "wrist" and instead said "arm ankle". They're in college now and I still think of this on a regular basis.

10yo was telling me a story about 7yo and spaced on the phrase “bare feet.” She called them “raw toes.”

@strobist '75 8675309 Also known as the number I use for any rewards card that let's me type a number to get the discount. Try it in your local area code, it'll probably work!

@RadioFreeTom Had one, loved it until they stopped updating the software after 2 years. Had to add a dedicated Roku to it which felt wasteful and stupid.

@NateSilver538 18300 Applying my estimate math for when I think I know how much code something is going to take. We'll see if writing words and writing code is similar. I find it interesting no one's guessing lower than your estimate.

In my outline (I've budgeted different word counts for different subsections) the current book chapter I'm working on is supposed to be 12,200 words, not counting footnotes or endnotes. What will the actual length be that I submit to my editor? Closest guess gets a free copy. Fine print: * If it gets split into multiple chapters it's the combined length that counts. * Chapter is primarily about sportsbetting but also with considerable material on the evolution of Las Vegas and the casino industry generally. Very well-sourced, I'm excited for people to read it!
