Feel free to ask me to explain anything I say.

You can ask me to explain other things, too. I might not know the answer, but you can if you want to.

If I were a superhero my weakness would be explaining things. Lex Luthor would be able to rob a bank by sending a few schoolkids to ask me basic physics questions while he got away.

Moving to @azure . Got curious and tried it out and I /really/ like the UX of the front end, mostly for the layout font selection and color themes working better with my accessibility needs. And keyboard scrolling not being…uh…bad.

"Well goodbye! Have fun on the other side of this door!" is the best way to throw people out.

I know the awfulness of mastodon search is intentional, but when I have a hard time finding the username of someone I actually follow because too many other people have the string I remember their name containing, it's a bit ridiculous.

Flesh is transitory, flesh is a prison, flesh is...an instrument. Flesh can be repla…

Well, maybe one day. Then it'll have to behave or be out of a job.

Pain (−) might seem redundant, but then again when you working on a muscle and finally push into the right spot and it relaxes and suddenly everything is better that's definitely a Pain (+).

Ooh. This isn't so bad. I feel a tiny bit stiff but I've moved around and loosened things up, I bet I'll be right as rain tomorrow.

*sleep ensues*

Fudge. I have to go to the bathroom but even rolling over to get out of bed hurts.

*Grrr-rar-rar-grab-onto-walls-and-haul-myself-up-by-the-headboard*

At least loosening up again is fairly easy and pays off quick once I get started.

Woo-hoo! WHERE THE TORRENTS FAIL SOULSEEK SUCCEEDS!

Also it's really annoying when you'd be happy to purchase something but it's out of print, yet it's also obscure enough no torrents seem to exist for it.

Having your configuration file just be a 'pickled' python object is some kinda' horrible.

I just found out David Warner took David McCallum's roll on the Big Finish Productions run of Sapphire and Steel.

OBVIOUSLY I SHOULD WATCH THIS.

Also since it's early Big Finish I expect it will be WEIRD compared to the show. And the show is already WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD.

There's something soul-sucking and immiserating about the form of technical debt that consists in unreliability and flakiness in testing apparatus. Either because code that break the test suite get merged anyway and allowed to stay forever, or because the test suite is just flakey and has nondeterministic bugs in it.

Well, this is annoying. I can move around and loosen my back up a bit, but it seems to tighten up again pretty soon whenever I settle into a position.

I am always rather disappointed and a bit surprised by people who think that various groups of people should 'get the bullet' in the same way I am by people who favor /TOUGH ON CRIME/ laws. It suggests strongly that they either believe things about goodness that I don't (that 'punishing' people has value in itself), or things about people that I don't (that there is a mystical, magical trap door of Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeviiiiiillllll that someone falls into and then can't ever stop doing Eeeeeeeeeviiiillll things.)

This doesn't mean I'm going to jump up and down and scream at them, make rude noises, or refuse to speak to them or any of that other nonsense. But it /does/ mean the first goal of conversation is going to be figuring out exactly what the basic disagreement is, how pronounced it is, and how consistent it is with their other beliefs.
