@zmagg so i was but it seems like "thinking" is more akin to "wishing" given lottery

@Mccv @zmagg extremely this*

i'm building shit for our house so zero scale and it's so gd boring I almost can't do it...

* but you can have the farm, got plenty of that as a youth

every few months i'll remember andrew wk exists and it's great

@Mccv @zmagg okay y'all search is kinda cool, it's not _that_ bad is it?

@brook on the plus side your apartment didn't burn down.

it's likely that the switch itself also has a tiny protective fuse in it that went out when shit went sideways -- you may be able to replace that and try round 2 if you want to roll the dice again

@brook @mathowie _puts on monocle_ ahem.

If you're not dead or seriously injured then it's not electrocution it's just .. spark(l)ing electricity

(hope you're not hurt, plz be safe)

we're looking at trees to plant and I'm excited to report that deez nuts are going to be "exceptionally vigorous" "heavy producers" with "excellent flavor and aroma"

@brook @nuncamind come up with two truths and a lie.

then quit your job and just spend timing making that lie a truth instead

lmao.

Very few things suggest I picked a reasonable place to move like "vegan metal bar." Anyway, TIL about Black Water in Portland

@mttaggart That last bit is impressive because I didn't think it was actually possible to make it more confusing.

In that regard it's a laudable achievement.

looking for new therapist in PNW and remembering how much i fucking hate this process.

every bio and "my approach/modalities" is layered so thickly with bullshit that it's hard to take field seriously

@numist protip: nuts won't start on an out of focus shaft. try again with a macro lens

using #adventofcode as an excuse+mechanism to force myself to learn rust

it's... going

yesterday contempt level would be about a 12 (measured out of 10). I remembered how to define functions today and only briefly fought with borrow checker today so would have claimed improvement .. except now I'm fighting lifelines when going back and trying to restructure / learn how to use structs to organize data

Not sure how long it'll take to fall back to java/go/python or switch to learning goal to sml

@Roach "m'lady"

@numbertheory CW eye contact 🤣

@Popehat bar none the worst part* about you leaving this place is the retweets of angry scolds reminding me how shitty my neighbors are

have fun out there

* I follow you on bsky so the takes I still get otherwise I'd legit miss your read on things

@nuncamind 👏 ; as implausible as "police know how to read" is I think that's your best bet.

The other option is "that's where they teach police how to sit, stay, etc like training dogs" but that's even less believable.

@krans luckily there is some good writing adjacent to this!

https://erinkissane.com/mastodon-is-easy-and-fun-except-when-it-isnt is a solid read; I assume the linked https://erinkissane.com/the-affordance-loop also is.

BlueSky pretty much does most of the things folks complain about in the first post better. That would be an advantage of BlueSky. I assume you were jumping on thread in the hope of learning some of them, if not sorry to barge in 🙇

@zmagg i'm also deeply sorry for your friend/friend's person ❤️

@zmagg english writing about specifically xiao yue zi or ... culturally parallel/transposed(?) behavior/care?

targeting an audience of the mother or the care giver?

feel free to ping me on GFC, i don't have anything specific in mind but i've read a bunch of random stuff and will poke around
