@georgeharito @shanesmithau Rectify originally on Sundance

also best series character: FBI mail robot. That thing should win an Emmy.

@susanthesquark EXCUSE ME I NEED TO CHOP THESE ONIONS REAL BAD RIGHT NOW

I'm curious if anyone watched this. If not, you should! If you did, let me know what you thought.

@susanthesquark Can't go wrong with Babe. I once went to a wedding where they sang the song the farmer sings to Babe. I may have cried a little. OR MAYBE IT WAS JUST RAINING ON MY FACE AT THE TIME

@b0rk hardware is really cheap, basically you replace everything part by part.. or the whole thing.

@natbro @DrNemski the VCs really want this to be true, because they need 100x financial outcomes. I personally feel blockchain stuff is in the 1999 "it was a decade too soon" era.

@betsyphd @jarrod_dixon NOT IN MY DOJO

@chetfaliszek the whole movie is kinda edited like a bad MTV grunge video from the early 90s. very sentimental, rote little girl in peril stuff. I've seen much better revenge movies. John Wick is 10x this

@chetfaliszek omg I watched this based on your recommendation. so bad. SO BAD

@olea our cats died, not sure kids are yet old enough to have a new cat

@lochieaxon it would be "eyen" like "ox" and "oxen"

@eviltrout Wow

@shanselman @jongalloway they need to fix WSL disk perf, which is *abysmal*, see https://t.co/UXP81YtKQB

@b0rk of course!! See also https://t.co/Tdv6Lllt1W

@b0rk awesome, the world needs more radical command line 'zines! ❣

@susanthesquark @amyngyn I don’t know how to replicate the experience of being a parent; it is profoundly unique and deeply changes you (for the better). However it is also the hardest job I have ever had by a wide, WIDE margin. Just go in eyes open about the amount of work.

@nickg_uk I think you can, but I tend to agree the eventual jump to 8k is going to be fairly pointless. Except for VR..

@gknauss he came in 2nd!

@jongalloway get a Syndrome

@rands too soon Rands

@patio11 Pathology emerges, as the student would be optimizing for sound bites, rather than coherent narrative or storytelling.

@DocPop is there a cross-section view of the Bolt anywhere? The metal on the sides is just caps not part of the body?

For context, I think the percentage of overall badness is quite small in both canines and humans and students, but it's definitely there, and pretending it isn't doesn't do anyone any long term favors.

@jessamyn @Garmin I love my Garmin (dedicated device in the car is best) but the larger war is lost -- smartphones update quicker, faster, and end up being more accurate. Also cheaper in the long run.

@textfiles still better than the dumbass "tell everyone we use cookies" ruling

@arstechnica @drpizza this is difficult to relate to since the majority of battery use on typical websites is ad code. I wish it wasn't. So your best "battery efficiency upgrade" is adblocking..

@Gryzor @StackOverflow definitely flag that

@chx thatsthejoke.gif

@indirect @marcprecipice I love this, it neatly summarizes everything that makes programming such a PITA

@textfiles Harsh but fair

@Supermathie https://t.co/0DiZcFtppj

@coopercode @cshirky @bijanstephen right but "Pentiums" has a zillion tech (and even Internet) references. Bologna.. does not ;)

@coopercode @cshirky @bijanstephen "All about the Pentiums" (1999) was prior to White and Nerdy though https://t.co/iMjePhRVpB

@cshirky @Ninja my new favorite trifecta of all time is tide pods, beatlemania, and the opioid epidemic. Gonna be hard to beat, I gotta say.

@cshirky @bijanstephen oh also "I kiss you" Mahir.. very early.

@cshirky @bijanstephen the black and white footage of the office guy angrily smashing the PC. Mentos and diet coke video (the first big one). Lightsaber kid.

@tqbf I guess it is New Romantic though? Are you not into that? https://t.co/4kJwuiCHuJ

@tqbf aw you gotta listen to Avalon as a full album though

@SaraJChipps @kevindente fast zombies (rage virus) ruined that along with everything else

@kevindente Yes! The Discourse team did this in Toronto at the grounds of an old distillery a few years ago, courtesy @eviltrout and @neill

@cshirky @Ninja there is basically one strategy in Fortnite: get above them (and ideally behind as well)

@cshirky @Ninja let me guess, he was building structures upwards as frantically as he could?

I do actually have a heatsink on my M.2 SSD for the record, but a sad, tepid, clearly inadequate one and now I understand this brings great shame upon me and my family https://t.co/ROY4oeiJvS

this show scratches every itch I have, and some I didn't know I had

@samb3nard I love this take

@Carnage4Life when nobody holds the mantle of leadership and herds the vision forward but "everyone" does instead, things degrade. this is why "servant leadership" is such a flawed strategy

@Carnage4Life kinda strongly disagree with about half of that

@mathowie I rewatched Karate Kid a few years ago with our kids for the first time and I was struck how the kids in Cobra Kai didn't seem like bad eggs so much as intentionally misled by adults. particularly in the final fight

@cshirky @sciencelifeny @romanmars I'd also say that our ideas in the tech field of what "evil" meant were very quaint indeed in 1992

@cshirky @sciencelifeny @romanmars it is true that some people become more enlightened and empathetic (and open-minded) as they get older, have kids, etc

@sciencelifeny @cshirky @romanmars but y'know, wake me up when Travis Kalanick is giving away billions

@sciencelifeny @cshirky @romanmars My point is that a lot of these folks never make it to "job B", or if they do, it is desultory at best. If you're a giant a-hole, you remain one in every role you take. Exhibit A: https://t.co/iDPw4HaiAm

@waxpancake @kathleenhou (clicks link.. backs away slowly from this)

@sarahjeong so basically like a real family gathering then

@cshirky @romanmars Microsoft was never even a *fraction* as consciously evil as Uber or Facebook is, and are.

@cshirky @romanmars this breaks down badly when you look at Jobs or Larry Ellison or.. really I could name dozens of other counterexamples.

@jzy trailer was not as good as the BF1 trailer IMO

@jzy ugggh Trevor Noah is ruining this already

@snipeyhead @Supermathie 🤔

@Pinboard we'll always have Henry

@JoshuaSGoodman @DinaPomeranz I can give you another one: requiring helmets on bicycle riders is inherently safer. Check out the empirical evidence!

@jongalloway @betsyphd I would say they were 20 years too early. Also software models do not apply to biology.

@jongalloway @betsyphd what has happened to you, John?

@textfiles HOW DARE YOU

@cshirky @nxthompson The olds, amirite?!

@maybekatz @ReBeccaOrg @JohnONolan @npmjs it's preferred to email team@discourse.org so everyone on the team can see it and potentially help ;)

@ReBeccaOrg @JohnONolan @maybekatz @npmjs feel free to ping us at team@discourse.org if you have any Discourse releated questions we can assist with! Also here's our roadmap: https://t.co/iC48nzhzLd

@Carnage4Life the problem with star wars and toy story is that the first ones were SO fantastic already. Terminator 1 was basically a low-budget sci-fi flick that punched way above its weight. So T2 being so hugely big budget AND insanely great.. huge jump

@Gryzor @mxweas saturday now ruined, thanks

@Carnage4Life also john wick 2 was a great sequel, not better, but certainly on par

@Carnage4Life terminator 1 was a promising start but sooo janky; T2 was a mythic revelation. nothing else in this list (including aliens) comes close.

@marcgravell roughly equivalent to unwarranted gun culture in the USA, firmly fixated in the creation mythos of the country

@mathowie holy shit this is next level thinking

@esoneill I guess but very odd that “first you must xfer a file” is their mental model of this task

@cpn_farrell Huh so they make me think of file transfer rather than “display on this nearby device”.. odd

@antoniomaiorano Should be a capital offense

@ryanbigg you know, ironically, they are bad there too. See https://t.co/EDpQc4uM81

@sarahjeong never underestimate the amount of male jealousy around how much attention women tend to get. Of course they also don't see the downside of that constant "attention" either

@Malkyne I support this hot take 🔥

@cwodtke That is an excellent octopus

@Carnage4Life 90% of user feedback is crap but that other 10% is pure gold. Ignoring it is bad product design.

aw snap, just got to the "I used to smoke too, once upon a time" line in this week's Handmaid's Tale episode. 👌

@anildash I literally LOLed

@cajacaliente note that my standard for "significant effort" is.. significant. Must be formatted correctly, readable english, shows multiple forms of basic research

@ReBeccaOrg @JohnONolan @maybekatz @ErisDS @npmjs Agreed, I feel this is 100% true and unavoidable. I don't actually believe in "let a million flowers bloom!" because that's kinda chaotic in practice, but "let dozens of flowers bloom!" is a philosophy I can get solidly on board with

@JohnONolan @maybekatz @ReBeccaOrg @ErisDS @npmjs <sidles up close, whispering> the other subtext is that mayyyybe it's not a healthy idea long term for github, or stack overflow, or facebook, or {whatever} to become the sole source of truth where everyone "must go"?

@JohnONolan @maybekatz @ReBeccaOrg @ErisDS @npmjs I view this as I view some of the complaints about Stack Overflow. It is unreasonable (and kind of dangerous in terms of product design) to expect one product to fit every single use case perfectly. Let many interwoven solutions bloom!

@maybekatz @JohnONolan @ReBeccaOrg @ErisDS @npmjs @discourse I am biased but it's working *REALLY* well for us. Kind of disturbingly well. Maybe.. too well. <runs away>

@maybekatz @JohnONolan @ReBeccaOrg @ErisDS @npmjs we have a priority system at @discourse which reads like this.. https://t.co/UCdFwynoiO

@Beschizza WELL-THAT-ESCALATED-QUICKLY.GIF https://t.co/CN3oABRWSc

@Beschizza dammit now I have to listen to this soundtrack

@DivZero_ Nope.

@NAlexWhite I'd love to see someone try, and get destroyed by Facebook

@Gryzor @betsyphd https://t.co/Y5nIN7ax4c

@alanb ohhhh there's plenty to hire. Just maybe not all the ones you would WANT to hire ;)

@textfiles I feel like Peak Tingle was a while ago

@ftrain this is the indelible mark of a truly excellent person

@textfiles I literally LOLed

@johnolilly I feel like all these noble speeches should be truncated to "Vote these morons out ASAP. Thank you, and goodnight!"
