@lizardbill howwww do you even find these atrocities

@stevesi that is kinda aggro

@kwiens he even says in the interview his "lung puncture" was better in 2 days. It's.. quite.. an interview.

@samfhicks right but this otter guy legit did this thing, in which only 1/50 people survive hitting the water.. for "fun". Watch the interview. He's 100% credible as a "fun".. guy.

@anildash @glitch this is beautiful

@ironfroggy The literal text in the tweet is the warning

Here is an interview with this guy. He’s still alive.. somehow. He is on the facebooks https://t.co/votg14kpfy

.. Strauss’s stature—he was only five feet tall—may have been a factor in the decision. Known as “the little man who built the big bridge,” Strauss may simply have wanted to be able to see over its side.

The original design called for the rail to be five and a half feet high, but this was lowered to four feet in the final blueprint ..

Fabrication of the stainless-steel netting and structural pieces began offsite in May 2017 after years of debate and installation of the netting on-site began in August 2018. The netting is scheduled to be complete in 2021 at a projected cost of $211 million

On March 10, 2011, 17-year-old Luhe "Otter" Vilagomez from Windsor High School in Windsor, California, survived a jump from the bridge, breaking his coccyx and puncturing one lung, though he said his attempt was for "fun" and not suicide. 😰

@Gryzor no

@lizardbill wow Aaron Judge is hugely underpaid.. HUGELY

@bjorn @Carnage4Life you've really never heard the phrase "if it bleeds, it leads"?

@tobermatt 👌

@ftrain @margarita you are dead to me Paul

@jessamyn @DustinTheFife @AndreBraugher he's so great

@donohoe I am sure I will live to regret (gestures wildly) ALL OF THIS

looks like it'll be a nice balmy 296K tomorrow

@Carnage4Life that is one sweeeet ride

@jongalloway whatever this family sucks anyway I'm outta here

@jongalloway I for one am proud that I'm the most awesome member of this family. Wait what?

@spakhm I think if you are reading the referenced tweet as a statement from an "extremist nutjob" that says more about you than you might realize, and not in a good way

@mathowie keep fighting the good fight I am with you my man

@Carnage4Life @YouTube @facebook @Twitter Exemplifies the problems with ad-driven biz models

@secretGeek @jongalloway that takes EFFORT, who can be bothered

@JohnONolan is it the bible

@substitute Well, actually, there are no favorites on tweets

@janimuze it means Windows Hello is worse

@Beschizza @ROSSinDETROIT @merrittk Lucky Coleco does have a nice ring to it

@chetfaliszek winning at LIFE

@chetfaliszek it's not even in the same *galaxy*. Fortnite for this category without question.

@Intrepidity @orarbel @usnistgov assuming sea level isn't crazy though, given the majority of the surface is sea.. or near sea-level

@jbaert that is all in-engine, it says so in the intro text.

@jongalloway @_CalvinAllen @schneidenbach @csharpfritz @dotnetfdn Like .. say .. you wanted to hold a Q&A with the yo-yo world champion? https://t.co/PPnMqgUQjj

@_CalvinAllen @schneidenbach @jongalloway @csharpfritz @dotnetfdn if only there was such a place, out there.. somewhere .. https://t.co/zxFuNM70QI

@deadprogrammer @Pinboard can we pay for it in Flooz?

@deadprogrammer @Pinboard and a Zune!!

@susanthesquark ok Niles

@stevesi MAYBE WITH AN OLED SCREEN YOU WOULD SINOFSKY BUT KEEP DREAMING

not that im bitter or anything

@angustweets I hate to be the one to break this to you, but telephones are also a form of tech entitlement

@jimmy_wales @anildash this is my answer too 🤜💥🤛

@Pinboard this is like nerd catnip, RIP your replies

@gspeng @betsyphd @jonniker living at home isn't a true college experience IMO.. the point of college is to explore life outside the parents home!

@jarin whoa there cowboy 🤠

@ftrain talking to things is the future? I am fucked

@gteather @stevesi or that, sure. Lovely thing about the web -- if you prefer stuff that never changes, there's a website out there for you..

@stevesi For people who don't like change, they can stick to with websites that don't change. Such as eBay for example ;)

@stevesi no, the web model is current truth, everything else is converging on that over time

@eviltrout 😘

@Carnage4Life will this change be on the web as well or just the apps? I'm unclear

@elgramoruso @patio11 yeah I was on iPad unfortunately

@patio11 This was my reaction exactly. Oh no. Rich people bought there way into elite universities. Why I never ...

@jmhodges @Carnage4Life I give zero shits where your degree is from. One of our @discourse founders doesn't even have a degree. Granted he is the weakest one by far, and I should fire him.

@Hanzo55 this is the only correct answer

@stickermule @rrhoover Just thought you should know the stickermule CEO is an outspoken conspiracy theorist and Trump supporter. Send your business elsewhere.

@denisleroy sometimes

I still don't know which ending made more sense, the book or the movie, maybe neither? But I'm leaning towards the book. https://t.co/6M4Y34Q2K0

@ZachWeiner SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK

@DomBurf answering my own question via search .. a lot .. and recently. So.. fair enough I guess.

@DomBurf But more seriously, when was the last time Gervais used that particular word on Twitter? That'd be the real test.

@DomBurf I think for the truly brave amongst you, this should be the only word you ever use.

@tetraquarky who knows, maybe tons of UK couples have kids and they're like "and this is my daughter Sophie, she's a right c--t!" It's just a term of endearment I guess, shared amongst children, parents, grandparents..

@tetraquarky I still don't feel it is in the same ballpark. The c-word is a really big slur over here. It's like dropping the n-word. Also, from a "punching up and not down" perspective, it's better to criticize men than women. But a-hole is best of all, because everyone poops

@tetraquarky Right so people named Richard.. and are called Dick .. that's somehow "uniquely american"? 🤔

@_Cruzat Yes but we control all the media.

@tetraquarky "dick" isn't even a slur, so not in the same ballpark.

@hanseldunlop fair.. fair

also, British Peoples, we need to have a talk about the use of the c-word in your comedy. It's not.. good? Use a-hole like the rest of us so it's more of a gender neutral thing.

sooo many Kevin Hart digs in this 🤣

This was a very, very funny movie. I recommend it (free with Amazon Prime). And Bonny is a superstar. https://t.co/UwnlsezxPX

@timoreilly @cromwellian @jamesgrahamnz @lutherlowe @DaveDri @randfish there's no way they "depend" on traffic like an ad-sponsored site. Brand awareness and donation drives are all they need.

@betsyphd @seesharp @cyndisun https://t.co/zGwtxRexNG

@wilshipley @mattcutts get out your They Live sunglasses

@drewtetz 🤔

there's an unusual number of references to Twitter in this show. I see *someone* is an avid Twitter user

sorry! Died in 2011. Still. Didn't know any of that!

@textfiles @DonMacAskill @Flickr seconded, @DonMacAskill is good people!

@deadprogrammer More realistically, I would like to see tungsten weight rings, nobody has done that yet.

@drewtetz I'm trying to PM you Drew Tetz and it is failing!

@CrshOverride TBD at the moment but far less than the retail of ~$300 for commercial titanium yo-yos

@johnolilly Wow. wow. WOW.

@jdierks @StackOverflow they can offer rep bounties already

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow I will definitely concede that SO has not done a great job in the last ~8 years of improving the "ask a question" page to better explain the requirements for research, effort, etc when posting a question. But finally: https://t.co/5MJhHvE2wX

@pekkagaiser @jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow if you work hard and do the research before posting, put effort into your question.. you WILL have good results. I *guarantee* it. Visible research and effort into solving your own problem is where it's at.

@Supermathie are you referring to Beaches or Fried Green Tomatoes

@ID_AA_Carmack this is why you gotta go with 64 bits on those flags

@spies_please this is the best #InternationalWomensDay ever

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow build the site you think should exist. schools regularly come in different flavors: elementary school, middle school, high school, community college, college, post-graduate college, etc. All of these are "exclusionary" to some degree.

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow I suggest reading https://t.co/QpiBf849bw as it covers all these questions in quite some detail, with examples. The idea of "one site can / should be all things to all people" is.. quite flawed. See: Facebook.

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow "you must be able to teach coding from first principles" was never a goal of stack overflow, not even remotely; saying it is moves the goalposts to an absurd degree

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow also, is it the goal of the community college to educate everyone to the level that they *can* attend community college? Isn't that the job of *other* institutions (e.g. Khan Academy, Udacity, Code Combat, etc)?

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow I disagree; it's no more "toxic" than having a 6th grader show up for a community college class. They're in the wrong place. (And, some 6th graders can pull this off.)

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow Stack Overflow (in the writable sense) isn't *meant* for beginners, which I covered in the blog post -- https://t.co/QpiBf849bw

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow I'm not dismissing anything, but Stack Overflow isn't meant to be the final, end-all system for all of programming, forever. It is *one* system, designed to achieve a very specific, wikipedia-like goal. There can and should be many others.

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow it's all about putting in the effort, and the bar is higher at SO due to the wiki formulation of building an artifact for future coders. If you're looking for a system of mentoring / live-chat / support, that's never what SO was meant to be: https://t.co/QpiBf849bw

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow https://t.co/3CJPyrHDZa

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow As you can see from my experiment, if you follow the rules and put in the effort, you get good results -- no matter where you live in the world, your race, your creed, your gender, your background. Now if the argument is that SO isn't *explaining* the rules properly, that's fair.

@jmglov @DominicCronin @janeylicious @aprilwensel @lmcdo_ @alilynnet @CristynHoward @spolsky @StackOverflow Most of this stems from a misunderstanding of what Stack Overflow is. See https://t.co/QpiBf849bw
