people really just share their opinions when they're sober it's the craziest thing
Crashing out over public grocery stores is so fucking funny to me. It is my fervent wish that these are a net positive for NYC and other cities follow suit. (pssst there's an abandoned Safeway in the Fillmore)

Can't wait to see everyone's attempts at a Wicker costume this halloween

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.
Bummed I won't be seeing anyone at WWDC this year. On the other hand if any of you are in SF and want to meet a cool baby, I'm your guy.
Had some water ingress problems so I'm re-jacketing all my records. First four off the stack, really a microcosm of the collection.

Does anyone else in iOS dev… 1. Use GitHub + Fastlane for submitting to TestFlight 2. See massive multi-hour lags in upload/processing lately?
I’m so fucking happy TLOU2 is here, and the story is (still) only minimally altered for the screen. Abby looks a little thin but I digress.

I try not to get up everyone’s ass about pronunciation, for obvious reasons But absolutely EVERYONE is mispronouncing perineum
I’m glad LLMs work so well for Python programmers but I’m yet to see one that knows jack shit about SwiftUI
