I don’t always love Corporate Job but I do take a special kind of joy in writing a 500 word document, citing documents and various conversation threads, that boils down to “we’re not doing shit until y’all figure your shit out.”

My beloved @radareorg onesie is almost too small for my younger child. It will be a sad day when it has to go. Thank you for helping to raise my console-based children.

@CarcelMousineau @edzitron That’s more like Missouri (St Louis, specifically) than Ohio. I think even people who live in Ohio hate it.

What is the Ohio of Europe?

@Dave_Maynor Unless BatteryJunction has Amazon-esque supply chain problems.

@Dave_Maynor Do you mean locally? BatteryJunction seems well stocked.

Why are 18650 batteries so hard to find?

If you're in a meeting, and someone says "I don't think that option would be acceptable to the business," who is "the business?" I sort-of intuitively understand what they mean, but I'm unclear on who "the business" is when we all work for the same company.

Note to self: go through my resumé, look at the list of tools I've used, and remind myself what they do.

My formative years were spent elbows-deep in the AM335X data sheet and it will always have a place in my heart. (I haven’t read this yet but I am very excited to)

The only better way to farm engagement from math dorks would be to insist that .999… < 1.

I think this is forgivable, but my other car isn’t fooled.

@BourbEnthusiasm Be glad liquor stores are open on sunday at all.

The liquor store doesn't open until noon on Sundays here...who's idea was that!?

@JiujitsuOtter After the first two rounds, Levi was no longer threatening anything. He was just retaining guard. Also the ref wasn’t enforcing “no sitting without contact” at all. Ref stopped the Rockhold match and made him stand. Levi got a verbal warning in round 3.

Seeing a lot of people say that Levi got robbed by the judges in CJI finals… Do you think that was a fair decision?

Day 1 of #CJI wasn’t perfect, but still managed to be more entertaining and better streamed than anything @ADCC_Federation and @FloGrappling have put together. And it was thrown together in a couple months. Watching ADCC now and the difference in watchability is pretty stark.

Love how the announcers on the @ADCC_Federation broadcast are commentating on the match on mat 1 but the video stream is the match on mat 2 🤡

Got a fancy Wifi washer/dryer set because I just HAD to get the top-rated ConsumerReports thing. I’m playing along with the Smart Features™ but this is a bridge too far. I won’t do it.

CrowdStrike accepting the @PwnieAwards for “most epic fail” at @defcon. Class act.

@J0hnnyXm4s It better have a third row rear-facing jump seat and a tape deck with Neil Young’s Greatest Hits in it.

I have taken some time away to pray and focus on healing with my family and I have realized that some precious opinions I had held were misinformed and incorrect. I would like a cybertruck.

@TactiCoolMemes Isn’t she that lady who just green screens herself into other creators’ videos?

"OK instructor candidates, hold the gun like a soiled diaper and don't EVER post your groups, demo techniques, or compete!"

Is there any worse feeling than asking a question in slack, only to be answered by the “automatically answer repetitive questions” bot?

@dualmotkany @optionsly @edzitron "We'll have taxis without the expensive driver" ignoring the many other expenses like maintenance that don't go away "Everyone will pay to integrate our awesome AI into their products" but the AI doesn't really work. They're similar in that they both sound great on the surface

@optionsly @haystack_ia @edzitron But it's very easy to see how a robotaxi company *could* make money, even if this part of Twitter doesn't think they will. AI revenue isn't even theoretical, it's completely dream-like. It's never explained.

Apples and oranges. All four of these are parts of public companies, Reality Labs would never happen in any other company but Zuckerberg literally can't be fired. These are not "startups" or "companies" like OpenAI is.
