When people try to tell me that Texas is the best place for personal freedom, I instinctively ask them if chili can have beans.

HEB Bunker Hill has @untitledartbev.bsky.social FLVR non alcoholic Mango Dragonfruit Sour. One of my favorites - I don’t often see it on shelves in Houston.

Yep that was us. The slow part of the group got separated right at the intersection for a couple minutes.

Houston cyclists protest Alex Pretti killing with 15-mile bike ride The event was one of more than 200 protest rides held nationwide on Saturday.

@houstonchronicle.com is reporting 100 riders, but I lost count at 200. I’d guess between 200-300 people.

Nice. Just thinking - you should be able to get local grown feijoa in Miyazaki.

Should add, spotfire is a good example where making a simple UX can make a lot of money.

Based on the stuff you post, I’d guess you’re not missing much by not having spotfire.

Back in 2007, its biggest trick was basically making pivot tables for people who didn’t know how to do it in excel. It had some nice graphics too. They’ve added a bunch of other analytics functionality.

Spotfire is pivot tables for managers. Always makes me laugh when senior execs say they can’t live without spotfire.

Where was the author’s compassion for the working class when they were a senator? The working class fell behind while she was a senator. One could argue she is complicit in the moral rot she writes about.
