@hotdogsladies I got this as a Christmas present from a gf after a midnight Christmas eve church service ended. I went home and listened to it a few times until around 3am. May be one of the best live album recordings I know of still.
@Luke I’ve been on a quiet search for Hostess pies the last few weeks. Not had anything Hostess in an insanely long time.
My high school sold Hostess pies in the quick pick-up window in the cafeteria and bookstore. In summer school driver's ed class with the gory driving death and mutilation movies, I would be sitting there eating my cherry Hostess pies. "What? This is a cherry pie! That is gross mayhem!”
@hotdogsladies@Moltz He plays so many different character types. When he pops up in some new series it takes me a bit to sort out what I know him from, as the roles are so different and his appearance and demeanor is as well.
Finally watching the @nilay_patel interview of Google / Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Sundar really gets challenged and does't come back with answers that work well.
I'm not always a fan of Nilay with his really hot takes, but this was well prepared and the questions were really good and got the the heart of a lot of pain points going happening now around generative AI.
@kepano Pretty solid and normal all up and down the West Coast. Seattle, Portland, and the Bay Area all had solid old-fashioned game when I was growing up. The crunchy edges (may be low humidity on the West Coast that provide the crunch and greatness) aren't an East Coast thing as much.
@alabut That was absolutely nuts FA Cup. I like Garnacho and it was good to see him do well.
I haven've followed F1 hardly at all this year. Years where I haven't paid much attention Monaco is the race I start sorting out what is going on that season. i realized today my son is about 2 hour drive from Monaco this weekend, he and friends are just kick'n back on the Med decompressing from school year.
After 9/11 my workmates would nearly forcibly stop me from saying my sandwich order name. "Just don’t!” "Don’t!” But, I wanted no confusion with the order, but never used it again (often after severe warnings).
Tomorrow’s the last day of Premier League action and we’re going to make a big breakfast to celebrate. I’m betting @vanderwal is going to be watching, anyone else getting up early in my Pacific time zone?
@Luke@beep Nova has a preview side window with split pane? I use this with non-dynamically generated pages, or take HTML output and point to the CSS I'm modding and it shows changes live (or perhaps with a save)
@Luke with Coda I had it connected to my online dev version of my “CMS”. I haven’t been able to get that working (online or locally) in Nova, mostly due to I have so much dev cruft from years of trying and using things. (I know, containers)
@Luke I have used that workflow with git with grabbing the CSS from git to work on it locally with a set of pages that point to it and refresh. When done I commit it back to git and do a pull request to bring the updated CSS back to where it should be. Then trigger a script to grab it and drop it into place on my site.
I don’t have git running on my hosting server. But, I also do this infrequently enough that I don't remember my workflow the next time and come up with a new way.
@Brilliantcrank This last weekend I stopped in my local indi bookshop and they had a small book called Shopkeeping: Stories, Advice, and Observations by Peter Miller (bookseller).
I picked it up as it seemed to cover how to design and run a shop really well. Just the thing for a newstand.
Have you run across the book?
Reading the first couple chapters it really hits the mark and more from what I was expecting.
@thomasfuchs I'm just starting to pay attention to the Eurovision happenings of the week.
I through the event had started, as I hadn't sorted out the time yet, but I know it is normally an 20h British start time and 21h European start. I always things are going to change and I'm going to miss it. I've watched / followed it for about 18 year now (after being in Amsterdam in 2006 and wondered why it was empty after a dinner with friends. I had it explained to me and shown.
Seeing Dune 2 in IMAX was stunning. I really wished I had seen Dune on the big screen.
The soundscapes and the physical immersion through sound in the theater was almost too loud, but everything audibly was pristine (except for a slap in the face that didn't sound right at all).
I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole around Dune 2 and wished I had gone with another / others to chat with after.
Dune 2 seemed better crafted than the first, but trying to separate IMAX out of that perception.
