I'm reminded of a song I learned in kindergarten to learn the months of the year. I've always gone through it in my head when I needed to figure out the position of a month (despite already knowing the answer). I hadn't heard it since then, in *mumble*mumble* years, but I listened to it […]

OH: "We're in New England? I didn't know we left Connecticut."

What other things do people commonly shoot fish in?

#Monsterdon begins in one hour (9PM ET). We'll be watching Stephen King's #SilverBullet1985, which can be viewed for free at @internetarchive#monsterdon#silverbullet1985 https://archive.org/download/Popcornarchive-silverBullet1985/Popcornarchive-silverBullet1985.mp4 It has Gary Busey, so you know it's good.

At a large chain amusement park, saw this at the entrance to a ride. That's pretty awesome. #alttext4me #actuallyautistic

I just realized something. I'm pretty sure that you could send different poll text (probably not answers) to different instances. The answers from each would propogate.

If you choose to decline all cookies, how do they know that in the future? Also does localstorage count?

RE: https://social.tchncs.de/@cark/116459954767698913 #TIL You can copy or rename files without retyping the path: ❯ cp /your/long/path/config.toml{,.bak} This expands to: cp /your/long/path/config.toml /your/long/path/config.bak Works also with `echo` (nice for testing). Thanks to @irom#til[…]

BREAKING NEWS My standup was cancelled today.

It's no longer cold enough to make your ears hurt. How long am I allowed to keep the hoodie up? If I could get some very dark glasses to go with it, I'd be great. Both for robbing a bank and for walking outside where the people are.

Jim DeLaHunt (@jdlh) is thinking about running a #fediforum session on globally-inclusive fediverse handles, and wants to learn more about fediverse activity in languages other than western european, japanese, and korean, and scripts other than latin, japanese, and korean.

Hop on Bourgeoisie #revolutionabookorplay #hashtaggames

I follow about 1,000 people, which seems like too many, but I get to see so much cool and interesting stuff (and shitposts) scroll by. I'm definitely getting my money's worth. #whyiloveithere

New app idea with associated hardware: A way to transfer physical cash between people. You have hardware for the receiving end and hardware for the sending end. 1) On the receiving end is a special (because profit) printer. 2) On the sending end is a custom (again, profit) scanner / shredder […]

What ever happened to all those Kit Kats?

Is your company looking into starting to use #ai? I'd like to offer my services. I can be confidently wrong and I can type pretty quickly. Just send a DM and we can negotiate pricing.

What happens to all those deleted lines of code?

I went for a while earlier and discovered that my favorite quiet, little street is being made a two-way street. It's about to become a lot less quiet. I feel bad for the people living there -- they aren't going to be able to park on their side of the street anymore, unless they come from the […]

What if we had alt images? Text by default, image when you hover.

Advice needed: My kid has an email address that they use for everything, which starts with an S, but they no longer use an S themselves. My concern with changing it (and changing it everywhere that uses it) is that there are some places that don't let you change your email address. What is the […]

Dentists should pay you for their services.

Text from dentist at 6:15pm yesterday: "if you have new insurance information, we need to know 24 hours in advance" I have an appointment this morning...

I still don't know the difference between padding and margin.

Dark Leaky Basement #tvshowsaboutinterns #hashtaggames

Got a message that started: "If we have a breach for <application> data, ..." Turns out it was a hypothetical (for reasons). Don't fucking scare me like that.

You know how on some spreadsheet editors (I envy you if you don't), you can have multiple people viewing and editing it at the same time, and it like shows where they are in it by coloring a cell or something? Somebody should make a video game out of that. Hide and seek? Battle royale?

*calls kid's doctor* "What is your child's name"? *sigh* "...deadname"

PER DOCTOR'S ORDERS I made my 9 year old a latte before school this morning, because we had no other useful sources of caffeine. I am such a great parent. (feel free to reply and guess why I did that, or tell me how great of a parent I am)

DDoSs or DDoSes? 🤔

Any doctors willing to write me a note so I don't have to go to work today?

It's simple, but it's mine. (all the other ones are terrible)

I'm working on a Wii U ROM manager. It adds the region code with a little country flag. I added a little nod to the people who might have modified region codes in their ROMs for some reason. switch (region) { case 'USA': return '🇺🇸 USA'; case 'EUR': return '🇪🇺 EUR'; case 'JPN': return '🇯🇵 JPN' […]

How in the fuck? https://cybersecuritynews.com/windows-snipping-tool-vulnerability/

"I'll fix the A/C once it stops being 40F outside", I said. And then it went from 40F to 85F in 2 days.

Is alt text for ascii art a thing? It feels like it should be.

I only have 15 minutes to do my taxes. I should be fine, right? It's asking me for my W2. What is a W2 and where do I get?

With as many cuts as has been made this year, you could claim some really wild shit on your tax returns.

Why in the fuck is there a second R in paraphernalia?

You know the spoons theory? Good. What does it mean when my spoons are upside down?

From my cybersecurity training: "To minimize your risk, stay in tune with your emotions and be wary of attempts to manipulate you." Really, that's just good life advice.

They should have to disclose which application source code is used in those fake hacker segments on movies or TV.

Is it trademark infringement when a moving company buys an old U-Haul truck and they don't paint over it?

My brother, the smartest idiot I know, is something of a fuckup. He got in some trouble in AZ and has since moved out of state. Somebody from the county he had trouble in sent me a message on Facebook (which I never use) to try to get ahold of him. I checked them out and it turns out to be his […]

Idea: ActivityPub message that gets sent whenever a message is seen.

My boss just referred to 3:30 as the bottom of the hour. Is that a thing? I always thought it was X:00. Though top of the hour would also be X:00, so now I'm confused.

I have a spare 250GB nvme drive and a total of 16GB (8+4+4) of laptop RAM. Can I retire now, or nah?

If you vibe code Rust, it's impossible to break.

Time for another #monsterdon, Son of Dracula (1943)

Are people supposed to have a catchphrase?
