@amgreentweets @kwiens yeah, 640kb ram should be enough for everyone 😉

@ScooterComputer It is usb but I couldn’t get it to scan any barcodes

I was never much of a Nintendo fan but this new Game & Watch is super fun (and has a usb-c connector!) https://t.co/UoRx1UHKBm

@dahomes acceptable! https://t.co/YJuA6sNECn

@ironicsans what year was this? When were there still record stores?

@codinghorror
@stevesi well yeah, if Qualcomm is in charge of running the emulation https://t.co/ObBdmZrdNS

@codinghorror
@susanthesquark that's so weird. I'd just point blank tell them, "please don't approach me, or speak to me, again"

@codinghorror
@TitPetric definitely not waterproof, this one is indoor only

before and after. It's like STADIUM LIGHTING https://t.co/OzIzJw8U1r

@Carnage4Life "What we've seen in the past with some of these other fringe or alternative social media sites is, if there's no rules and if it's really siloed, then what happens is it gets more and more extreme." it will be *very* interesting to see how this plays out.. https://t.co/36YCAosFRL

@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza @jwz @sailoremo it's also global, so the vocal part is also coming from countries that are kinda.. super.. not-woke

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz @sailoremo I believe both of these things. HN isn't *that* bad, but it does have a vocal minority of .. well, this https://t.co/DY8N5ARFAC

@codinghorror
@jwz it's one of my favorite things -- performance art, I mean, not money

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@betsyphd 👎🙄 .. only acceptable on Daisy Dukes and even then, iffy!

@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life It's way too early to tell if this will stick. Could be another "Ello" https://t.co/ZFk5UOhFN5

@Carnage4Life wealthfront has kinda tended toward this over time as well, definitely lots of good examples of this trend out there

@DanielFahlgren I don't actually disagree with *everything* Sweden did, but stuff like "no mask mandate ever" is just.. bizarre.

@codinghorror
@ZachWeiner @FuSchmu I know where she'd like to put it

@codinghorror
@johnolilly truly one of the all time greats

@codinghorror
@wilshipley @ossoff I like it. I told 'em to send more. 💔

@codinghorror
@Justin_Halford_ No. *We* are awesome, together.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
And we begin this process again on Monday, every single Monday until the GA runoffs happen.... with some *very* fun stuff. So if you missed this one, or want to try again later, or every time... please do! 🙇♂️🍑

@codinghorror
Holy 💩 people we raised $10,402 for the GA runoff senate races! 🔥🙌 congrats to @sethweiner — and y’all for being so generous! 🍑 https://t.co/p0z4MhvDgb

@codinghorror
Apologies for the delay, we have an ongoing local total internet outage on our fancypants fiber .. and I am worried about remote school tomorrow so I rushed over to T-Mobile and slapped a sim into a spare Android device (Mi 9) to act as a mobile hotspot.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zeynep I liked the explainer here. Basically, there is no longer any correlation between "does not answer polls" and "is statistically average" https://t.co/R9AKkm5o95

@codinghorror
Closing this up now! Will post winner soon. Stay tuned, we'll be doing the same thing next Monday with the fancy new Apple Macbook Airs with 🔥 M1 CPU courtesy @BrentO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@oneunderscore__ @kpoulsen I was honestly wondering about this myself

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@patrickcentral No, it's indeed for the calibration hole on one of the sides, per the other pic I replied.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@muratsutunc @timurkuran that's the opposite of what the article says, and I agree with the article. I suggest a close read

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@GrantTotten fine, RUB IT IN WHY DON'T YOU

@ID_AA_Carmack try drumming in Rock Band 4. Seriously

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@patrickcentral 🤔 maybe you're right, it has the big red wheels as well. Perhaps that was just to screw the joystick port connector all the way in?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@patrickcentral oh yeah you had to calibrate the analog joystick, so the little screwdriver let you do that.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
This is the actual joystick I played X-Wing and Tie Fighter on. I had to play it after hours on a work PC because I couldn’t afford my own at the time. https://t.co/jQ1QoSb3by

@Nick_Craver @BrentO the current one is pinned on my twitter profile, they usually run 48 hours

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BrentO @Nick_Craver sweet! I have 4 weeks planned out. This adds 2 more weeks! 🙌

@mrsclark14 @MsSylviaSanders @adrianaclimbs @TracyZager Having a stammer isn't a choice. Behaving badly, is a choice. These are wildly different things.

@codinghorror
@mirza sure email me some pics of it -- jatwood at https://t.co/uwHP9VvdJI

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BrentO @Pinboard https://t.co/UXRFkdtZUY -- but rather than double prizes, let's double the length. I have 4 prizes, planning 4 weeks, you could make that 6 or 8.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@somehollis yes! In future rounds (I'm gonna do this for many weeks, one per week) I'll focus on them directly too.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
(and I'll close entries in 48 hours from now)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza I use Twitter on the web every day (well, unless I am taking a mental health break) and it's quite pleasant

@lynn314159 @tqbf I guess all we can count on is that Mitch can't live forever.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf @lynn314159 Where has putting money actually *worked* in the past? Where did it work in 2020? Seems to me the big wins have been outreach programs that get people to vote? And some candidate campaigns seem to do that, but others.. not so much?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf @lynn314159 this is very light on specifics .. "any kind of organizing and fundraising". Especially since in my area, in my state, not seeing any opportunities. It's the other states that need help, where I have the least visibility.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf @powerje yeah, but investing in @fairfightaction will probably pay dividends for years later, won't it? Where else would you put money right now?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@danathesane alaska always takes forever on the counts, not sure why, it's just been like that

@codinghorror
@tqbf @WatsonLadd ok so the argument is that supporting "medicare for all" is supposed to be a magical instant re-election button, which clearly isn't true?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kpoulsen I got you fam https://t.co/Ul0AKFOVAO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tqbf @WatsonLadd I've been trying to follow this conversational arc through a number of your tweets but I'm failing. What's the underlying argument you are making? (Not disagreeing at all, I just don't understand.)

@rmayemsinger @wilshipley I suspect Trump will live a pretty good life grifting off the QAnon and MAGAsphere until he drifts off into complete senility

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp @VanJones68 Zero chance of Trump giving a concession speech. In fact I give it a negative 100 percent chance of happening.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bijan I've had him blocked for years

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@andrewchen oh no question dating is SUPER weird in the smartphone era. Can't say I've dated myself in a long, long time.. but music concerts *specifically*? I'm sticking to my guns on this one. The whole point is in-person. Sex, Drugs, and.. Rock and Roll

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@andrewchen eh, except the goal in e-sports isn't to get laid ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@andrewchen I am personally very skeptical about the music one. Seems least plausible of the bunch -- more like licensing deals (which is fine). Others could be viable.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@andrewchen sort of, if you view it as a music licensing deal. My son went to that.. he plays Fortnite.. but it wasn't much of a "concert"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@andrewchen it.. doesn't seem likely to me. Not for that particular case. I think others could work (education, workouts, etc)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@andrewchen maybe, at least with music / bands, the only real way to make money was in-person concerts? https://t.co/iM4zNo2K4z

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stillgray I think you're seeing this through your own particular lens. We're happy for both of those things. Good to see the worst president in the last 100 years sent packing, and it's also good to see competent, caring politicians voted in as president and VP.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshmillard yeah so, TL;DR I asked my mom in NC not to vote for Trump. For many reasons. But she did anyway, and regurgitated Fox News talking points as to why she "had" to do that..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek it's Georgia runoff time, my friend. Putting lots of attention there starting next week.
