@JennyList @spv @trans_rescue I see your ThinkPad remote keyboard and raise you a "stolen/repurposed kvm keyboard from a rack being decommed" ;)

My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing him.
Went out. Had a few drinks. Nice guy. He's a web designer.
Specialises in debugging.

The new Starbucks CEO, Brian Niccol, is going to commute to the office 3 days a week by private jet.
Don't forget to take your reusable cup to the coffee shop!

@MattMerk I have to admit it's a new word to me, but the concept made sense enough to be able to google-fu through it :)
My reading is more consume-consume-consume and analysing the contents rather than analyse the writer's methodology and structuring
@MattMerk multiperspectivity?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiperspectivity
maybe multivocal narration if different characters present their own perspectives?

I mean in some ways being up there is safer than the ground, where Boeing assassins live.

It surely can't be a coincidence that Alexander the Great and Kermit the Frog share the same middle name.
@fesshole especially if you do it the Joaquin Phoenix way in Gladiator.

Friend: What do you play games on?
Me: I play games on a switch!

Huh.
So, just now I learned that you can convert miles to kilometers with the Fibonacci sequence?
A mile is 1.609 kilometers.
The Golden Ratio, the ratio between Fibonacci numbers as they get large, is 1.618.
So, within about 1%. And large doesn't need to be that large, it's actually pretty accurate from about 8 onwards.
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 etc etc
5 miles is 8 km.
21 miles is 34 km.
89 miles is 144 km.
etc etc.
Kinda neat IMO.

I run a small tech startup. Was struggling to get second round investment, so we rebranded everything with AI this and AI that. Investors suddenly falling over themselves to give us money. We don't, and never will, use AI for anything in our company or products we sell.

They say big trucks are just a reality if you want to make deliveries in the city.
I say there's other ways to solve the "last-mile" problem...
There's your beer kegs—sorted.
