Better late than never. Made a batch of @altonbrown.bsky.social ‘s aged egg nog for the holidays

@scalzi.com I saw recently that you wrote a summary of the Old Man’s War series. About to start The Shattering Peace, and now I can’t find it. Can you share a link, and maybe put it on whatever?

Cool blog about how the RecordScanner app uses Azure #CosmosDB's vector search capabilities: devblogs.microsoft.com/cosmosdb/rec...

#rustlang docs are live on Microsoft Learn: aka.ms/rust/docs These expand on #AzureSDK examples with more user scenarios and more to come. While we always want our crate READMEs to be helpful, we also want them to be concise. Of course, there's more information and many doc examples on docs.rs

I’ve been getting back into lifting a bit lately. I always take my Oura off when I do, but then I don’t get “credit” for it. Any other suggestions? @vicmsong.bsky.social ?

People who are good at photography stuff - I have very few pictures of my mom. One of the best is an iPhone shot from 2017, but it’s backlit. Any tips to help make it better to print?

OMG - almost 2 years after I bought them, I *finally* managed to get my Nanoleaf bulbs to connect to my Home Assistant Sky Connect with Open Thread Border Router. Getting thread credentials synced between iOS and HA has been a PITA.

OH while playing UNO at family game night: “What is the card with the backwards ‘E’?” “Uh, a three?”

Smash burgers can still be shitty burgers and we need to stop pretending they’re some type of elevated bullshit.

After hearing @vicmsong.bsky.social interview the Ladder app CEO on the @theverge.com Vergecast, I’ve been trying it for a week now. Great workouts - kicking things up a notch for me, though not running as much now. #TeamAlpha

New #NYTGames crossword streak. All five weekdays this week with no cheats.

Arrived in NYC as part of our Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal/Boston/NYC/DC road trip and the location based ads here in Manhattan are out of control! So many ads for things to do here it’s all I see.

Someone just liked a comment I left on a group photo on Facebook *FOURTEEN YEARS AGO*. 14! Who does that?

Interesting. Instagram now goes into a loop prompting me to allow targeting from ad partners. If I opt out and confirm, it just pops the modal prompt back up. No more insta for me I guess.

I updated to iOS 18.4 last night and now my phone vibrates at random times with no other sign of feedback. Help?

Can’t believe @rjcc.bsky.social, @davidpierce.xyz and @reckless.bsky.social didn’t put together that the $10,000 TV bundle from Samsung is there to populate the bar when you buy it. @theverge.com

Tonight's dinner includes** 2 pints* of Guinness. * Not including any that I consumed directly. ** Ok, they were short (aka US) pints. #StPatricksDay

Cooking a French recipe and I’m reminded why French food is so good. (It’s the butter and heavy cream)

I wish we could use AI productivity improvements to enable a 4 (or even 3) day work week, instead of the seemingly accepted plan of using it to eliminate jobs and continue to squeeze more out of those who remain: stocks.apple.com/AJbCSaR4rRJ-...

Hey @theverge.com - have you considered offering a way to buy someone a gift subscription? A lot of listeners might be the hard to buy for type and this could be an option.
