I have learned how to make cargo docs, and no one will take that away from me.

I'm deleting a bunch of old files - just dropping this here to appreciate the joy its brought me before it goes in the bin

Could you steal a shopping cart by wrapping the locking wheel in a Faraday cage?

I want to reupholster a couch with a pull-out bed so that I can buy lots of fabric that matches it. Then I can pick a fabric element that's easy to swap out and make copies for each guest, with their name embroidered on it. For each guest I will act like their name is just on the couch, always.

My brother Jack starts law school tomorrow. I can't wait to have kids and teach them to call him Uncle John, Esq. He will be such a Serious Professional, I know it.

@brennanleemulligan.bsky.social What portion of quotable/memable Dropout moments do we think were intended to be that way?

I had a dream that somebody was getting rid of a rubber mallet. And I got really excited because I remembered needing a rubber mallet recently and asked them for it. And now, you know that I had that dream, because I posted it online. I do not need a rubber mallet.

I think I met an older version of myself today We had a great discussion where I guessed why certain decisions had been made in the running of his business and he'd say yeah that's exactly why I did that, and then he'd expand on it Very cool to learn from him. I hope I get to pick his brain more.

Uh... yeah Agreed

I keep tic tacs in my room as the canary in my "remembering to feed yourself" mine Tic tac #4 is usually around when I realize I am skipping a meal

No regrets. Big success.

I'm about to commit, perhaps, a sin. But I've been thinking about it for days and I need to know.

Anybody else remember that time I figured shit out all by myself about the Thue Morse sequence and then went to see if Wikipedia already knew about it and it did? I do 🤬

I kind of really want to switch my editor to this now, just for the shock value

Just in case anyone has forgotten that graphic design people do crimes.

Why is anyone acting like it makes any sense to refund companies for tariff expenses when they've been so loud about passing those expenses onto consumers? The tariffs let Trump tax the working class and give rich people a tax break, now he wants to give rich people more money to make up for it.

@thebandcake.bsky.social Some of the music Tidal has under your band's page is... unfamiliar. I just got a notification for your new single that I hadn't heard about. Wondering if you heard about it either.

This is the first of an upcoming series of puzzles that could be fun.

Trump just really likes the mercator projection, and he's going to defend it against naysayers by conquering Greenland and making it smaller.

Flying a plane is like sailing a ship, except that if you're gonna hit something, "up" is also an option. Heh, heh. Oh, you've never sailed a ship? Hold this for a second, I have to pee.

Thomas Edison is quoted saying that genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Money is great because I can perspire in a restaurant kitchen or at a computer and as a result, water comes out of the faucet and my house is warm. Coming to TEDx: The Commutative Property of Perspiration.

The immortal Jamaica Plain team, and Philip.

The first item on my to-do list every day is "finish list" It's not a bit*. It genuinely prevents me from jumping the gun. As excited as I get for my day, it has to start with a finished list. *Well, can't it be both?

This is the end of an era! I have faith that the people taking over will treat the blender project with a similar care and dedication. Congratulations, Ton! If your retirement finds you in Boston, USA, I'd love to take you to lunch 😁

Ah yes An octagon

That's just one multitide! Do you like it? Just hold on to your horses now, because – and I'm so excited to finally share this with you – I contain several more.

Are "nothing," "something," and "everything" nouns or pronouns? I feel like "something" and "thing" act as pronouns, but "nothing" and "everything" are pretty concrete, barring set theorists from the discussion (looking at you, Georg Cantor 🤨).

Ended up getting a Fairphone which was altogether too expensive from the US retailer. Not a Linux phone, but de-Googled at least. That does mean that, per this post, the git plugin still doesn't work. I learned about the Git-Sync app to sync without the local git instance and so far it is glitchy.
