Maybe I’m just too much of a nerd but what the frick is a sump? Like the name “sump pump” means absolutely nothing to me, should just be called, “that thing that keeps your crawlspace dry and is a pain in the ass to fix” pump

Can confirm, eating rolled oats with water instead of milk (even skim milk) is way less enjoyable, health benefits be darned. Probably just gonna eat the extra 2ish weight watchers points

Observation of the day:
@drewbarrymore.bsky.social and her morning show is literally always on whenever I go to get my car serviced, no matter what time of day. Coincidence?

Urgh trying to get beach body ready for next year, and I got back on that Weight Watchers diet. Maintaining low points is actually not as hard as trying to keep the sodium content low 😅 man we love salt in America

Probably gonna be shouting into the wind w/ this one, but @github.com it would absolutely be a🔥 feature if when you are reviewing PRs to let you sort the files by the LOC changes. Basically rather than the standard alphabetized tree, lemme quickly review small changes first #Programmer

My wife once described our building’s mgmt company as the boss who see’s morale is low and decides to throw a pizza party instead of giving more pay or vacation time. Their latest move is by far the funniest yet 😂 #fridayfun #holidayseason

Wanna learn how to become a millionaire in #tech or #business? Easy! Just find a niche topic that applies to at least 2,000 ppl, start a conference and charge $1,200+ per ticket, host it somewhere random and cheap but with nice weather like Long Beach CA. Boom, easy $$$ even split with a partner
