@CatherineFlick Wow, writing at 4!

Some Apple Park blossoms. I think these are stone fruit of some kind?

@mcc definitely the worst version control system, except for all the other ones.

I called 911 today for a welfare check on a guy who was lying on his back near a driveway on the main road from our house to town. I hope he was okay.

@Catfish_Man Probably a bit like a Schrödinger's Cat thing. It’s impossible to know if midnight exists or not unless you observe it, when the wave function collapses into a Dirac delta.

@Catfish_Man I think DST begins at midnight in Brazil? I believe I had to fix a bug dealing with that at some point.

@mcc Yes, but a time zone with a start and end date? Makes it really easy to mess up displaying or deriving objects from things that are tied to a specific point in time.

@mcc Now do DST.

I see a lot of shaming of people who get COVID on here for not being careful.

These people obviously don't have to send kids to daycare.

@lisamelton KN95 still only blocks 95% of particles. Sorry you're feeling rough. It’s a jungle out there.

@sommer Congrats! I'm in my 9th year (all on watch, no less) and really can't see anywhere else I'd rather work.

@evan I like “one more sleep ‘til Christmas” though.

Definitely not Williams’s best work. Emmet Otter is brilliant though.

Barbecue. It lifts my spirits, I swear it never fails. But the sauce mama makes just stays there forever if you dare to get it under your nails.

So get that frown off your face. We’re gonna replace it with a grin and a dream come true, with a purty girl dancin’ to jug band music and a mess of mama’s barbecue.

@drahardja Yeah, a preface would be nice. Something like, “Just ranting here, no advice necessary, but…”
