also, is posting a closeup pic of your thumbprint the same risk as posting a closeup pic of your housekeys? 🤔

@jonobacon unsubscribe

@textfiles yeah my strategy is full payment for a while, then half depending on how long things go on

@jonathansampson it's just easier to make better screenshots if you do minimum reproducible size

aw yiss (final permanent removal day for us at Discourse is June 1st 2020 and yes I am counting the days until then, thanks for asking) https://t.co/RAPQqydwSO

@cinnamon_msft @jeffsand omggg awesome

@mathowie ugh. Bronners is original US folk art man. This is a disgrace!

@deanputney 🦾

@Beschizza I.. I.. dusted some led light bulbs yesterday

@arosas_zero @Pinboard @JoeBiden See https://t.co/jssF7YOGN0 https://t.co/K6HMTkbhQM

@mattisadev @lizchar No. You passed the test!

@Pinboard I.. I.. had never seen this Larsen strip!

@johnolilly Um, gotta say hard no on that one for me.

@atchambers @superwuster yeah this one seems rather straightforward, honestly

@deadprogrammer indeed!!

@Pinboard @FiveThirtyEight @NateSilver538 but the clicks

@psaffo didn't you say she had been sold? 🤔

@lizardbill SQL, JavaScript, and beyond that it really doesn't matter any more

@jzy reminds me of the bots in Portal 2 I guess?

@cjhc @AccidentalCISO @lizchar I was kind of trolling by retweeting this at all https://t.co/6NqHVgVqhj

@theSimplex I'm not sure that was the 90s my man. late 80s more like..

@jonobacon @Superhuman what's the detection rule?

@seesharp I used to love these as a kid. Not sure I could choke one down these days though .. I can also eat about one hot dog per month, maybe

@deadprogrammer it's weird that you say "chicken eggs" and not "eggs"

@jwz @migueldeicaza (they also handle recurring billing and retries and a bunch of other super annoying administrivia for that same percent, or whatever it is.)

@jwz @migueldeicaza The stripe purchase flows are <deleriously> good. Far far better than we could build ourselves. And they are ferociously competent developers, in my opinion, based on working wit htheir team and their API. They earn their percent. I'll say no more, but: worth it IMO.

@jwz @migueldeicaza won't know if you never try, though! If the experiment doesn't work, if the additional sales don't offset the percent overhead, pull the extra "pay with {x}" button. (disclosure: I filled out the form to donate to the bootie webcast and it was .. not optimal?)

@jwz @migueldeicaza also this is a "yes, and.." argument so your customers who don't want THE MAN™ tracing them can continue to pay via tedious, manual filling of forms. Nobody's saying "drop all that and do this other thing instead".

a reasonable and much deserved outcome https://t.co/eGFdXedlVf

@jwz @migueldeicaza @discourse That said, we definitely invoice our enterprise customers directly, but that is a whole other bag of pain.

@jwz @migueldeicaza The math has definitely worked for us at @discourse and we are not exactly an impulse buy product. I think the more impulse buy-ish your product is, the stronger the argument in favor of offering several frictionless payment methods.

@jwz @migueldeicaza Still worth it if it results in more sales than you would other have. So what’s more important? Staying alive as a functioning business, or (waves hands around) parasitic interpositions?

@migueldeicaza @jwz I highly recommend Stripe as a good starting point.

@Pinboard really? Seems like Lessig's lawsuit worked? https://t.co/Xqcudpobcb

@gsuberland no ADHD

@cwodtke oohhh noooo I am sooo sorry

@shog9 a thread killed my father, as you well know

@shog9 same reason using spaces as significant to code/layout (think YAML particularly) ends up backfiring

@Pinboard but is the mask rated for goal post protection? I have some concerns

@HitokiriEric YOU'RE WELCOME

@krmaher @kwiens but wait, how will the buyer update the DRM on it? 😉

@ronburk @mathowie remember the wine analogy!

@wingedpig cash register receipt rolls

@MrBobbyTables @castrojo @discourse Search https://t.co/xtRYvz7geU because it depends heavily what your intentions and goals are and I can’t capture that in a measly 280 characters

@lizardbill @JasonPunyon @StackOverflow Imagine working at Facebook. Or Twitter. At a certain scale this is inevitable, isn’t it, due to the laws of statistics?

@castrojo @discourse yeah, not used very much as I recall, then became a support burden 😢

@jesse_ops well, this is getting posted to the "funniest thing I've seen today" topic on our internal @discourse 🤣

@ipsa_duce I dare well. How dare you?

@hurricane_me_ @mathowie ouch

yeah yeah I know there should be a "both" option

@eviljordan @romero no thanks man. the part where he beats his wife? just no. fucking. thanks.

@ftrain https://t.co/9mnx12B7OX

@romero just avoid the sequel! I had (somehow) never seen it and wow. it's weird? and dark? and ugh.. the ascent of Biff who was based on Trump (even back then, confirmed via interviews)

@textfiles Sending 💖 also a ton of shit to upload to the archive, hopefully

@ciaby six of one, half dozen of the other

@Sir_Fowler if they do it'll be a cheap VR power grab like Alyx was 🤮

@sklivvz I hate *hate* smoking. Both of my parents were smokers and I hated it so much. This specific case was drops, sublingual

@BoingBoing good riddance. I don't want Trump's America back ever, ever again.

@bioxeed shit man I don't think you should read this book until you're an adult TBH. It is *intense*.

@kaizenjegan oh alcohol sucks, it is a blunt force instrument, but I know exactly what I'm gonna get every time I drink it. Can't say that about THC 😬

@deadprogrammer https://t.co/LWoBDAD06V

@pbrooks100 https://t.co/BPG03WYmFX

@ciaby ah yes, the ol' "solution to drugs is more drugs!" 🤣

@craighead this is far from my first time.. more like 20th

@mullingitover in this case I had actually just eaten, so probably no go

@pekkagaiser dosage matters though, if you're taking too much it's real bad. This is with the "correct" dosage based on my prior experiments (slowly increasing dosage, then waiting many hours)

@SamuraiBeanDog these are both fascinating observations that I actually independently felt myself as well, but kinda kept quiet about, so thank you for sharing them 🤗 .. I described THC as "having to balancing a spinning plate" to someone a month ago

@intractvmedia @ebelliveau THC + CBD is even worse for me though. I've experimented a fair bit.

@GioeleS I can't take a week of that feeling 😣

@shar1z I think the reality is that a) it's a particularly complex set of compounds like a shotgun of "stuff" and b) diff people may have very diff reactions to the same drug (not just this one!)

@ashton @bikehugger I'm gonna have to stop listening to a loooooot of music from now on

@mathowie tend to agree. smarter people I have talked to on this say THC / cannabis is a shotgun of a whooole lotta rando stuff

@TomWinzig YA DONT SAY

@tqbf @anthonypants BCS is well below both of those on metacritic as well ;)

@tqbf @anthonypants that they are close together in critical acclaim? I already proved that: look at my metacritic screenshot

@bikehugger "In other words, the category, or type, of cannabis may not be the greatest indicator of the effects you’ll experience." I call bullshit, I think the problem is it's a shotgun of so many rando things that it's unpredictable https://t.co/6E5mmRebnb

@ebelliveau and all-CBD does *nothing* to me as far as I can tell

@ebelliveau CBD 1:1 is even worse for me, this is THC only

the primary lesson to take from this, I suppose, is that drugs can have very different effects on different people.

after 20 years of listening to songwriters wax poetic about how awesome weed is, I beg to differ

@anthonypants @tqbf and like I said, I'll go balls to the wall on this one. 'cuz I'm right 😤

@anthonypants @tqbf that it's very close. Shield is harmed by being older (2002-2008) so there are less metacritic live reviews and so forth. If you factor for that, it's real close.

@tqbf so.. yeah. I'll take that bet ;)

@tqbf also gonna just throw this out there https://t.co/U8sFJzIsO5

@tqbf I will accept this statement with one proviso: the 24 episode tinfoil hat brother story arc in BCS completely *sucked*.

@deadprogrammer let's ask @pinboard! I do agree that desperate times require desperate measures, but let's also be realistic about what that means.

@tqbf that's a tough call, but I would definitely give BB the edge. It's close. The depiction of personal hell at the end of the Shield was very powerful.

@tqbf @tomaszrykala If you enjoy slow paced boredom, BCS is your show. It’s such a slog. That said I will try latest season if more BB characters are coming back in. And if the tinfoil hat brother is gone. Twenty fucking four episodes of that utter horseshit. I’m still pissed.

@superwuster I hope CV-19 deaths of actual relatives and friends is enough to combat this effect.

@tqbf The Shield was indeed masterfully delivered (including the ending). And the Jane storyline was fine. Tinfoil hats for 24 episodes? Fuck ALLLLLL that so hard. SO HARD.

@tomaszrykala @tqbf @xenocryptsite They are very very very very very different shows. Liking one has zero relationship with whether or not you will like the other. I do get the desire to make them drastically different thematically and in approach.

@tqbf And the tinfoil hat brother. Jesus fucking Christ. 24 episodes of that utter fucking stupidity of a storyline.

@tqbf Sure, dry, boring law firm drama cons. Bring in the damn drugs and dealers already so we can have something that isn’t boring AF.

@charette @samsaffron It’s by design. Proxy if you need other ports.

@hisaac @discourse Topic originator is also the last poster .. prevents duplicating avatars

@IanLopshire Thanks you you and everyone else for dontaing to @Pinboard’s Great Slate!

@tqbf @xenocryptsite Wrong. All the law firm drama about who is in control of the law firm. Unbelievably fucking boring. I wanted to cut myself to alleviate the suffering, and I suffered through three seasons because this is supposed to be “good”

@tqbf @dweinberger @xenocryptsite The brother who wears tinfoil should have been executed in the second episode he appeared in. My god that whole storyline which went on for like 24 episodes, was one of the most excruciating nails-on-a-chalkboard thing I have seen in my entire life. Fucking HATED it. Despised.

@deadprogrammer Just ask your friend @Pinboard if you won’t believe me.

@tqbf @xenocryptsite I fucking hated this show *so* much in the first three seasons. Boring law procedural with incredibly annoying law drama backstories. If it gets more drug drama in latest season I might retry.
