Sweet mother of all that's unholy, the North Carolina Senate is poised to pass on to their House a bill that would forbid masking in public without even any exemption on the grounds of medical necessity.

I'm going to meditate to calm my mind.

Where in the f*** has my goddam meditation bench gotten to?

after a short trip down a rabbit hole imagining how I'd build a #FountainPen tray, I'm relieved to have found these and to take the road less complicated for once.

OH: "I hate hearing myself in recordings because it never sounds like any of the voices in my head."

@gvwilson I only have the one voice in my head, but I do feel this way about hearing recordings of my voice.

@dgerard I do have some anxiety here, though: I know plenty of managers who'd look at the possibility and decide that they're geniuses who have figured out a bold, brilliant plan to cut costs and have a great next quarter. Never mind every person with a technical clue saying it's a irresponsibly bad idea -- those naysayers are just focused on problems, not solutions.

It'll take enormous losses, outages, and data leaks to have a chance of getting through to them...

I was wondering if anyone had ever done a retroclone of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, and, hey! There are people working on a retroclone of SMAC.

I've heard it recommended before, but I'd never tried one until now...

The Platinum Preppy is a perfectly credible fountain pen that costs five or six dollars. If you've even been fountain pen curious, it's a cheap way to get a taste.

and if you do try one, this is rule 1:

This is not a ballpoint. You want to avoid pressing the nib into the paper. The paper is sucking the ink out of the pen by capillary action. The ideal is for the teensy drop of ink at the tip of the nib to be the thing that meets the paper while the nib just glides above. This is why it's such a pleasant writing experience: there's less force involved.

(In reality, the nib will touch the paper. Just know that you shouldn't be pressing.)

So after crypto, the metaverse, and now "AI", what overhyped technological house of cards do you think will be next?

Things I learned about the law from watching The Good Wife and Suits:

Lawyers are very attractive. They spend most of their time:

  • sleeping with each other
  • wishing they were sleeping with each other
  • engaging in internecine fights for control of the firm

There is a special kind of dysfunction in the administration of academia, and I say that as someone who worked for two separate automotive companies.

Seriously.

@craigmaloney I thought the phone company was pretty bad.

And then I took a job at a large university...

The latest COVID variants are FU.1 and FU.2 and I think the writer's room is getting just plain lazy.
