I have released the monkeys that were in the shipment and which you were probably saving for research Forgive me they were devious so angry and so sick

not seeing any exceptions for rat kings at any of these protests and it's making me and the 6 other guys whose tails are knotted into mine really nervous

Faith in humanity restored! Big accessibility win!

I don't know why I thought this, but for a second I thought he was going to recite the litany of fear.

Every time I see a photo of Ezra Klein, a stupid part of my brain says "That's Jared Fogle!" before the smart part catches up and remembers that there's actually two guys who look like that.

My money's on it being Mauser or Gewehr and was interpreted as being pronouns (Mau/Ser) or (Gew/Her)

If I'm wrong, please correct me, but my understanding is that they're reducing the statistical value of children's lives by half. They used to count double, e.g., a trampoline that kills 10 kids is treated like a lawnmower that kills 20 adults.

New revolutionary idea for social media. We can already comment on posts, and we can comment on comments. Let's extend that to likes. When someone likes your post, you can then like that they liked it. Also, we can create a culture of insufferable people who get mad when you don't like back

my wife: have you written to your dad since your uncle passed? me: I'm typing it out now what I'm typing: gimme da beans boys/fill my bowl/ top it all off with some guacamole (said like whack a mole)

I had to check myself: newsroom.ap.org/editorial-ph...

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say hulk hogan died when he tried to do an atomic leg drop and missed and bonked his head and bounced out of the ring and his pants flew off and his dick got twisted off the top rope. don’t say stuff like that

I'm imagining a world where shopping is Black Friday every single day, a chaotic nightmare of deals and violence. And then one day a person from that world visits a normal busy store on our planet. "Where are the doorbusters? Why is it so calm and boring? How can you shop like this?"

It seems like a bad idea for people to get a ton of general education before they're 25, and almost nothing afterwards. We've all experienced re-watching an old movie and realizing that certain things went over our heads, so maybe it'd be a good idea to revisit history, literature, math or econ.

I'm excited about Grafana's Loki-Grafana-Tempo-Mimir observation stack too, but I wish coworkers would stop spamming "LGTM" on my Pull Requests before approving them :(

I want to get off MR TRUMPS TARIFF RIDE

before i got banned from this online poker site i used to tell people i was driving the whole time i was playing and they always lost their shit

This is tragic, does anyone know the name of the other man who died during the sasquatch hunt

This is my second year of getting all 50 stars! I definitely got some practice with network and set math! I just completed all 25 days of Advent of Code 2024! #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com

Unexpectedly, I ended up mostly doing part 2 in Google Sheets. There's a pretty clear pattern in the gates, and once it's all organized the oddballs pop out. I've completed "Crossed Wires" - Day 24 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/24

This one was great! I think if you've been messing with network math on previous days, this one's trivial. I just completed "LAN Party" - Day 23 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/23

Day 21 is pretty hard. I'll be honest, once I figured out the premise of the puzzle my first reaction was "screw this, 20 days is enough!" And I can guess what part 2 is going to be (the same thing but more, probably) But I've come this far... #AdventofCode

With all the people getting mad about follow-backs, I think Bluesky should add a feature that allows people to like likes, and then we can all get feisty about someone not having the courtesy to like when you like their post.

Part 2 ended up being pretty straightforward. I ended up just re-running part 1 but half-splitting until I found the answer. Pretty fun! I just completed "RAM Run" - Day 18 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/18

Big shout for @concretism.bsky.social's brilliant version www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdRA...

Can't believe I didn't know about this before, but I learned about the enumerate() function in Python. Really useful when you want an easy for loop that also tracks the index of each item. I just completed "Reindeer Maze" - Day 16 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/16

This puzzle was absolutely delightful! I knew the moment I had the right answer, and that's a good feeling. I just completed "Restroom Redoubt" - Day 14 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/14

I got a hint from a friend on this on how to speed it up, but most of my time was spent debugging a mistake where I had strings where there was supposed to be integers. They got BIG! I've completed "Plutonian Pebbles" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/11

This kind of thing makes me qualify my response when people talk about "fake news"

I did eventually get this one last night, but I went to bed instead of posting about it. This is the part where I start to feel very inadequate as a programmer. I've completed "Disk Fragmenter" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/9

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

This one came really fast and easy for me! Had to give part 2 a very careful read though! I just completed "Resonant Collinearity" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/8

The other day I tried to block Craig Brittain and found that he'd already blocked me. It really gave me a boost to my self-confidence, I really feel like I must be making good choices in my life if one of the worst shitheads on Earth wants to distance themselves from me.

Took me longer than I wanted, but I'm really happy with my solution. It was really fun! I just completed "Bridge Repair" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/7

I spent so much time stuck because of this stupid mistake: if next_symbol == '.' or 'X': I just completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/6

This one was actually pretty fun! I ended up in a little trouble with part 2 because I was using a notebook and didn't realize I was mutating my lists between attempts. I just completed "Print Queue" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/5

I've been trying to put a like on posts celebrating Advent of Code solutions, especially if nobody else has. I want everyone to get at least one little clap! Sometimes they're not in English, so hopefully I'm not liking stuff similar to "Got fired for doing AoC at work #AdventOfCode"

This one was pretty fun. Part 2 ended up being a lot easier for me, although I was able to reuse most of Part 1. Had to troubleshoot a bit but turns out I needed one more set of parenthesis! I've completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4

I am so bad at regular expressions, and I started late, and I was distracted... I finished but I feel like I should have done much better. Regular expressions kicked my butt last year too. I've completed "Mull It Over" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/3

My code was messy as heck, but it works, and that's what counts! I just completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2

I wonder if @aoc.bsky.social has a minute or two of confusion every December from all the people using the #aoc hashtag for #AdventOfCode "Uh oh, did something go viral... no wait it's just computer nerds again."

I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/1

there should be a startup that disrupts the school pickup industry. children who live nearby each other can all share a ride from school to a central point from which they can walk home. and it shouldn't have seat belts

I'm not saying the Elonia thing would be acceptable if it was funny, but it's not even funny. (If it turns out that it's actually a very funny Narnia reference, please forgive me for being bad at jokes.)

I kind of want to make a "Weird dipshit crypto spammers" starter pack for people who want their feed to be full of incomprehensible scams.

Concerning...
