Damn. RIP to Bob Weir. #gratefuldead https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/bob-weir-grateful-dead-dead-obituary-1234810106/

What do we think fam... coming down to the wire, but I'm pretty confident I can pull this one out.

I love that #forkiverse went from non-existent to an actual, full-blown thing, literally overnight. I know it started somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but it really does show what's so great about the fediverse. Awesome job by @kevin @Casey @pj

Has "TikTok" become a generic term for a short video? My daughter told us she needs time to make a TikTok for her Instagram before her dance competition, and didn't understand why I found that funny.

The author of a viral Reddit thread alleging fraud at a food delivery company tried to back up his claim by sending me AI-generated documents. Today I'm publishing those documents in the hopes that it helps other reporter see what we're up against in the age […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Czechia has Canada's number yet again. Couple of wild games tonight, I hope the final is no different. 🇨🇦 🇨🇿 #worldjuniors #hnom

Ban shootouts in hockey. Using a shootout to decide an elimination game should be a felony. 🇸🇪 🇫🇮 #worldjuniors #hnom

My son and his high school hockey friends went skating on the pond around the corner from us today. The pond was technically closed for skating, not because it wasn't safe (it's been consistently below freezing here, and people had been skating on it for several days) but because the town […]

Pretty good crowd for an AHL game! #hnom

Welp. #worldjuniors #hnom

Total of four goals on 11 shots so far in the Habs/Canes game. Goalies forgot to show up to this one. #hnom

Still have not fully come to terms with the fact that Indiana is good at football.

Perfect drop pass at the blue line right to the Swedes on our power play. 🇺🇸 🇸🇪 #worldjuniors #hnom

Let's go USA 🇺🇸 🇸🇪 #worldjuniors #hnom

Well, that was an eventful second period. The Germans definitely have some skill, but USA needs to improve defensively. 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 #hnom #worldjuniors

They're really leaning into the "AI can make mistakes" thing, huh? At least the lawyers didn't write that in vain. (The game they are recapping is tomorrow)

My son made tiramisu for Christmas dessert. Totally from scratch, including pulling the several espresso shots. I have no idea why he decided to take on such a time consuming project, but I'm glad he did because it was truly excellent.

Perfect timing for family coming to visit.

Merry Christmas! We have lots of family coming into town over the next week, but today is the calm before the storm - just us, hanging out at home. Whatever your plans are, I hope everyone has a fun, relaxing day! #MerryChristmas

Kielbasa, bacon, and pierogies from the Polish deli. 'Tis the season for the meat sweats.

In case you missed it on SportsCenter, we had an instant classic in 7th grade rec league basketball last night. Tied 30-30 after regulation, and still tied after 3 tense overtimes. They decided to call it a draw. Boooo.

I was hoping my blood donation would be super quick today on account of the weather, but it's busier than ever. What's the point of making an appointment if I'll still have to wait for.... who knows how long?

Looking like the last school day of the year tomorrow might be a snow day instead. Stay tuned...

Yum.

Crazy wind today! I watched a couple (already dead) trees fall in the woods behind our house. The snack cart we put out for delivery drivers is on wheels and zoomed right off the front porch. Lights flickered a few times, but we managed to keep power.

Last night was the first of three consecutive (!!!) nights out for @MelRad and I. We went to a fundraiser for an animal shelter organized by someone at her office, so I got to meet all the lovely weirdos she works with. One of her co-workers took a really […] [Original post on techhub.social]

When it's Christmas time in an office full of nerds.

Well... this happened in my town yesterday. (The horse is reportedly fine after being rescued!)

Two hour delay, and 2/3 of the kids are sick (including the college one, who has exams today and tomorrow.) Not an ideal start to the week.

Woody Allen Is Not Sorry About His Friendship With Jeffrey Epstein Well, that certainly is a headline. Not sure I'd double down on that friendship at this particular point in time, but what do I know […]

My company splurged for our Christmas party this year. They combined the CT and NYC offices and booked the One World Observatory at the top of the One World Trade Center building. You can buy a ticket for one floor below where we were, but I can only imagine […] [Original post on techhub.social]

LOLOL... I would love to congratulate the World Cup organizers on some expert level trolling, although it appears to be nothing more than a happy coincidence. Seattle Plans Pride Match at Soccer World Cup, Infuriating Iran and Egypt […]

We've got ice!

Moved to a different Lemmy instance, one not run by the Lemmy developers. Although I haven't run into it myself, I've heard enough people talk about their shady moderation and politics to warrant a move.

High deductible health insurance plans are awesome, as long as you don't ever need to use them. #qt https://flipboard.com/@npr/shots-%E2%80%94-health-news-6634r18rz/-/a-xOygHxTpT9OaB_0lfH3iBw%3Aa%3A3195441-%2F0

Cleaned up a lot of leaves today. What a satisfying and rewarding use of my day off.

Still have not fully come to terms with the fact that Indiana is good at football.

Wasn't sure what the turnout would be like for the sip and stroll in our town tonight since it's quite cold and a bit windy. Turns out, all the stores we went in were super busy! I guess people are willing to put up with a lot for some free booze.

Our knives got picked up to be sharpened today. I've only reached for them 300 times since then.

Fresh pasta for dinner on a random Wednesday night... because why the hell not!?

My "listening age" was 32 this year, and @MelRad was 26. Our college kid's was 70. Lol. #SpotifyWrapped

Got our Christmas tree home and decorated yesterday while oldest kid is still here. He heads back to school today for the final push before the semester ends. It was even his turn to put the angel on the top of the tree. He used to need a lift or a chair for this... not so much these days.

Man, it's got to be tough being a Sabres fan. I think Chico Resch said it best at the end of the game: "There's barely enough fans left in the building to boo them. Devils with the 5-0 shutout win. #NJDevils #hnom

I haven't had a personal laptop in a while, and there are plenty of times I don't want to pull out my work laptop for personal stuff. Decided to splurge on myself for once and picked up a decent $500 Dell marked down to $300, which I'll run Linux on.

Making an emergency butter run, as one does. Anybody need anything?

Black Bear has bought up several rinks near me. They have all gotten worse under their ownership, without exception. Fuck these greedy vultures. #qt https://flipboard.com/@npr/sports-i9fjknotz/-/a-fQsCcSW9QLKiEk9Y6TXqvw%3Aa%3A3195441-%2F0

We are truly blessed.

Feels like perhaps I should choose not to be the 17th person to boost this particular article.

It's really strange that the Vegas #f1 race starts so late at night.
