And they said all the Duolingo animal terms were useless.

I thought the ball had telemetry? Can’t hitting the cables be detected?

Always relevant.

I've been a 1Password user for years and I've accumulated a lot of cruft accounts online. I vibe coded a utility this morning that helps speed up deletion of some of these old accounts.

I've joined a call, I see that @blowdart.me is on it, and am immediately wondering if it would be a good idea to hang up on the call or not.

My first La Liga match day!

The billboard behind Bad Bunny during this halftime performance reads: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." #SuperBowl

awesome to listen in this morning to doing a quick session on Terminal, PowerShell, and text intefaces! @scott.hanselman.com

Turned on morning news to hear a local official somewhere say “our people can’t be out on the road to do what they need because of all the ice on the roads” and am not sure if this is a weather quote or a federal government overreach quote.

If the state can label a law-abiding citizen doing nothing but exercising their rights as a domestic terrorist – in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary – then no one (regardless of political persuasion) is safe.

Dear Bluesky: do we rewatch The West Wing, watch The Diplomat, or watch Tehran?

We started a sous vide pork leg roast yesterday. As we opened it up for dinner, I commented that this has been cooking all year. My new year's resolution to use fewer dad jokes has already collapsed.

Christmas decorations packed up. Canlis salad, brown butter scallops, and champagne consumed. On to 2026! May this upcoming year be interesting!

There is no more perfect representation of the relativity of time than hitting the snooze button

Would it be vandalism if I run around the neighborhood replacing outdoor light fixtures that have cold color temperature bulbs or CCF bulbs with warm temperature LEDs or incandescents?

Cat. 5 storms reach 157–192 mph, scientists propose a new Category 6 for speeds over 192mph, these are rare but as "climate change increases temperature and moisture, which are the sources of energy for hurricanes, the number of powerful storms is expected to increase" www.pbsnc.org/blogs/scienc....

A new category for hurricane intensity may be needed as storms become more fierce due to climate change.

Following up on my staking set restoration that went well, I decided I would clean the tarnish off my Jacot tool and it cleaned up nicely. A friend is currently doing some repairs to the box it lives in. Before and after shots. #horology #watchrepair

Cue the “it was DNS” meme

Inspired by a YouTube channel I follow (The Second Hand), I decided to spend a few hours today cathartically restoring a vintage K&D watchmaker staking set I own. #horology

This whole thread. I’m quoting the punchline because that’s where the meat is, but go back and read it all.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once: — Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — Against raising the minimum wage — Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

I’ve had worse views #reigntogether @reignfc.com

I think I’m officially old enough that there’s an inherent conflict to the tried and true “hydrate and sleep” strategy to getting over flu-like illnesses. I hydrated so much I had to get up 4 times overnight to pee, so my rest overnight was terrible.

This is, in a word, bullshit.

The largest wildfire burning in the state of Washington is still alive today thanks to brave federal U.S. Border Patrol and ICE agents who arrested firefighters caught in the act of attempting to kill it.

A chance elevator encounter with @flavorflav.bsky.social was not on my bingo card. Thanks for the chat and the 206 greetings!

I am today years old and just got my first pair of progressive lenses on glasses. 3 hours in and boy do I have a headache.

The internet is complete now. We can shut it down.

This is BlueSky,,, not a Coldplay concert

So good and a must watch. @scott.hanselman.com I know that having 800 friends but no one to call was a clever quip, but feel free to call anytime. Or ping me on Teams -- during your work hours. :D

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

Not every day you get to see birds like this up in the air. #avgeek #airshow
