This feels relatable... I'm sure I've misspelled something in API contracts over the years. I personally remember a URL that an intern created that it took us two years to fix because people started using it. (No shame on the intern, someone still approved the PR!)

Or your provider tells you not to do it but you do it anyways and DDoS them daily. “We need to stop cutting PRs today!”

I have yet to see a D&D game in a London pub. I would be looking forward to my London trips a lot more if I knew I’d stumble upon one. (Though always in more central London, so maybe my problem.)

Given the US population (per latest) is 50.5% female I’d say we have about 1% of the population who would not have a ball in their court if we started handing them out. 3m balls short! We can use alternatives though. Plenty of those.

It’s funny to me that AI tools converted us from using documents for tech approaches to markdown in repos so the tools could easier read and modify them. But absolutely here for it.

While I don’t really disagree with your sentiment, the story (MSQ) in 14 has some excellent riffs. I don’t regularly play, but I did great enjoy some parts of it.

Or you know, you need some time to disassociate.

Clearly didn’t play enough of World of Final Fantasy (absolutely not cannon in my head).

From the start of the season. They tried to make it fit about half way through episode one but still hasn’t felt right. Oh well. Wheel of Time looks better right now.

I’m holding up. Spring Break, so doing the important stuff, like Pokémon Go with my son. Hope you’re holding up my friend.

I’m not sure this season was a good for me. Leaned way too much into that.

The fact that we had a hegemony I think is questionable to start with. I don’t feel back it is cooked. But I do worry about what takes its place and how our leaders respond to throwing weight around not working.

They don’t actually use toilets anyways. Why would we waste time designing for a non-existent use case?

Wait. Congress won’t do shit. That’s just a fantasy.

You have my vote Eric. No policies would be an acceptable outcome and let Congress rebuild some stuff.

Seems like you have a great story idea there, because you write so many legal thrillers.

Neighbors who see being neighborly as food sharing are always the best.
