Well, he did invade Minnesota first.

The president of the United States, when given a choice between attacking Iran...or Minnesota.

When the @seedgame.bsky.social team wakes up, the real hero will be the internal issue tracker ticket to make the seedling/game state return more gracefully and less painfully.

Why is the feed full of hotdogs and people talking about them? What the hell context did I miss?

If you're an iOS developer that has worked with an app that accesses the photo library, please shoot me a DM, I want to fact check some things I've been looking at. Thanks :)

Attention: The stain on Greg's shirt is of historical importance to the Department of Temporal Investigations, and will be studied with great interest.

#OnThisDay Jul 22 1938: Mayor Albert Flor of New Ulm, Minnesota (left), and Mayor Edgar Hyek of Albert Lea (right), pump furiously during the "Mayors Handcar Race" along the streetcar tracks in downtown Minneapolis. Spectacles like this were common in the 1930s to boost morale in the Depression.

I’ve been asked if I have received a reply from LTT/LMg, and I have not. I don’t really expect one directly though.

Last night I watched the latest WAN Show (Linus Tech Tips), and came across a spot in the VOD where the audio was muted. Turns out, Linus made a very poor taste “joke”/reference to Alex Pretti: “I think that’s a dead guy. Is that Alex Pretti?”. I found a recording. (Cont…).

Using a third-party tool I was only able to find one YouTube comment on the VOD that referenced it. It did get mentioned on the LinusTechTips subreddit in their new weekly WAN show megathread.

Hey that's not funny. All he needed to say was "Awh man, that wasn't funny. I dunno why I said that. I'm really sorry." and this would be over, but instead they muted the VOD and seemingly auto-filtered the word "Pretti," because I cannot find one comment about this on the stream which is unlikely.

Dear city of Woodbury, I have discovered an additional street that is still open for use, and is not undergoing construction. Please look into this, as you may have missed one that needs to be closed for our convenience. Would not want to miss Q3 closure goals. Sincerely, A concerned citizen.

The real question: is this a flat earther showing their beliefs, or someone who really wants us to stop flat earthers? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z!

So we’re back to this again huh

My advice for the week: Make sure to have a way to deal with lithium ion batteries. Especially if you use them with a hobby or have devices that allow you to swap them. My @steelseries.com headset batteries started to go big. The good news is, the replacement batteries arrived quickly.

This is all.

@steelseries.com GG has to be the one of the biggest hunks of shit pieces of peripheral software on the planet. Just. Remember. My. Headset. After. Updates. Please.

Stick drift on a razor seems like a recipe for disaster.

I rarely walk into stores these days, so when I do there tends to be something new of trending. This time it’s… gamer razors?

Scientists say the Earth may not be engulfed by the expanding fireball of the dying Sun, which has long been assumed to be our planet's ultimate fate

I see @bsky.app looked at 2014 Kik as an example of a relevant app and decided to give that a try. It's not relevant, by the way.

Around the world to get there I guess?

Luckily I’m Vegas it cooled down a bit to a nice chill 98 degrees for a bit… And I’m glad I’ll be gone before it hits 110°F (43.3°C).

Hi! You might notice my username has changed. [@]thethinkingsir.bsky.social → [@]basedpractice.com I've been working on transitioning my blog/technical write-ups/shitposts off from the platform I was using (remind me to cancel that...) to a new home. basedpractice.com Still the same ol' me. 🙂

Ahh yes, it’s 4:38am, and I’m finally worn out after a late period of late night productivity.

Any time an airline departs and arrives at terminals with different numbers (such as departing Terminal 1 in MSP and arriving at Terminal 2 in Vegas, it should be free. Checkmate airlines.

Chris Steller@chrissteller.bsky.social · 2mo ago

If Metro Transit doesn’t charge for light rail train trips between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at MSP, then Delta shouldn’t charge for air travel where you take transit at each end

Dear Reddit, Fuck off.

Today's decision paralysis: A new every day carry backpack in the 16L to 24L range. I currently have and like the LTT backpack but it's pretty damn bulky. The commuter bag seems to miss the mark a bit though.
