There’s so many friggin nerds sailing that it’s ridiculous. Who else makes so much so as to indulge in such a wildly expensive hobby?
Never mind the ultra rich nerdy boat names (Bayseienne, Steve Job’s weird thing, the sensible and utilitarian Google barge with all the toys, and Oracle guy’s toys, and on and on), there’s soooooo many more minor nerd boats with names like “Dream SQL” and etc.
Happy. But skeptical. I like the people I work with, I have a ton of flexibility, and I’m so well paid that it’s a little weird. I like this stuff, and would do most of it for free. But the MegaCorp I work at has been tightening their screws with worker hostile stuff: removing benefits, changing pay structures, trying to force me to go to the office, and etc. All that changes how I look at what I’m doing. They are, of course, psychopaths. I always knew that but thought I found a comfortable little groove in the system to do things I like with people I like. Now… Less. There’s an undercurrent of coercion that makes me feel a little icky, and now I’m more ready to roll the dice on change and seeing what’s next.
This is a brand lift study. It’s almost worthless: Hulu is paid nearly zero for it. I can’t believe they’ve stooped this low to scrape so little incremental revenue with such a customer hostile tack. Their product and analytics people must truly suck and completely lack awareness of counter metrics.
What don’t you like about your Framework? I haven’t noticed anything wrong with mine, but haven’t had it long.
I really liked their electric XC40’s and tried to buy one last year, but … I just can’t figure out car dealerships. They had two on the lot, I had enough in my checking account, I go there on a Saturday morning, and … It was just a mess. The sales guy first said electric cars are dumb and I don’t want one, I actually want their biggest SUV, then he said he could only lease the electric cars (with horrible terms), not sell them. I gave up and went home to see if there is a way to buy a new Volvo online – no. So I bought my second choice (a Tesla Y), with an app, in about 30 minutes.
They lose in every timeline. The US would have nuked them.

OMG it’s so good to hear that this is changing. Twenty years ago, in college, I responded to flyers around campus about a support group forming. The therapist refused because obviously the support group was only for women. No mention on the flyers. She was surprised I tried to sign up and said I’d make everyone uncomfortable.
I know we have a ways to go but I’m glad there’s even a thought that maaaaaybe men need and can benefit from support, too?
The film data is way over ambitious. I don’t think blowing a 35mm negative up to 16x20 is “superb.”
How many different subs are you going to repost this to?
I have both. The way Bose handles bluetooth with multiple devices is so awful that I gave up on them and bought the Sony’s. They would probably be fine if you only intend to ever pair them to one device. However, for me, I just never figured out what they were trying to do. I’d turn them on and they’d wake up a sleeping iPad in another room, or closed laptop, and then refuse to connect to my phone (using the phone’s built in Bluetooth menu) until I opened the Bose App to reconfigure them. The last straw was on video calls for work-- they’d randomly re-connect with a random device.
The Sony’s just don’t do that. They don’t wake up random sleeping or idle devices, and if they do connect to the wrong device I can use the OS Bluetooth menus to manually connect them to a given device – rather than opening the app in my phone.
So cool, thanks. As a kid I spent so much time in DEBUG, stepping through DOS’s executables, and especially the Interrupt handlers. It’s so neat to see the actual source code-- way easier to read and follow. I didn’t know it was all written in assembly, from within Debug it sometimes seemed so messy and convoluted that I just assumed more was written in C.
Hedwig. I thought it was such a beautiful movie and about half the people in the theater left.
+1-- I’m so impressed by the "reasonably large admin team"s’ thoughtfulness and transparency.

Thank you It’s easy to say but not so easy to believe. You help.
It’s not your fault. Tell someone. You’ll survive.
Love mine, been using these for over 20 years and am on my 4th.
