I do keyboard things. I also really like CS, languages, software design and development.
Another great benefit to spatchcocking is that it’s really easy to apply a dry brine.

Does $50+ for a PS5 game truly qualify as a “Black Friday Deal?”

Triggering a file download in Blazor is a very strange experience to me. It reminds me of falling back on interop, back in the day.

Thanks for the response so far! Encouraged that we'll get there. Even the smallest donation helps us unlock the chance to send so many kids with cancer to @CampOneStep. On this (awesome) platform, remember that a repost has so much more value than a like.
Raising $15,000 before Giving Tuesday will unlock a $25K match from the Marks Family Foundation for @CampOneStep. Let’s do it for the kids! secure.qgiv.com/for/thescore

I've learned to log out of my work computer at the end of the day, rather than leaving it locked. I also make sure that the browser does not re-open all opened windows / tabs.

The result: a nice clean and uncluttered perspective at the start of the day.

The ICC is a curious thing. I suspect that my impression is borne out of being an American - it is an example of the world not revolving around my country.

International justice is an excellent ideal, but I can’t see the world agreeing on a formal definition of “right” and “wrong.”

This sort of thing is a marvel that I wouldn’t have thought possible 15 years ago. @scott.hanselman.com

Here is a symptom of a pretty bad disease in the world of tech. A user questions a superfluous feature and gets shamed for it.

There’s too much tribal prescription going around.

My great-great grandfather was friends with Jesse James, to the extent that my great grandfather was named after him.
Give me one interesting fact about your family history that you learned.

I like that external links open in Safari, not in some weird curated in-app browser.

What kind of logic leads to one tying NATO support to the whims and needs of an egomaniacal doofus?

I struggle with idealism - the ethical kind. I have these well formed notions and strong beliefs, but then I make the mistake of considering the long term ramifications.

Things like running for office to effect change - great ideal, but the thought of the work involved is absolutely exhausting.
