As a young tech professional about 1000 years ago, my employer's corporate counsel managed to impress on me that not only is it ok to say "I don't know" but it's actually great (as long as it's true.)

seems like quite a modest house for a gentleman such as Toad!

yes.

If it was 2010 I wouldn't even consider voting for Talarico but when my major goal for politicians is screwing with Trump's system as vigorously as possible he seems like a good choice.

Here's hoping he does a good enough job that next time I vote for him on his merits and not Trump's faults.

hey @ncglasgow.bsky.social I like ur senator. How do I get one like him?

Not the sunrise, but the Russian LNG tanker which was hit by suspected USVs (maritime surface drones) earlier this morning. Reporting only slowly coming out. Photos taken from another merchant vessel.

I grilled some chicken thighs last night with Penzey's Turkish seasoning and a little salt. We ate them with lentils and rice.

Well when they came out they were only 270HP so some combination of "they didn't have enough power to get you into real trouble" and "only people who weren't interested in neck-snapping acceleration bought them" probably helped :)

One of two cars this manufacturer has made that stands out in my mind.

tbh it sounds better than the last incel recipe I heard about.

Something like buy boneless chicken breasts, put them on a baking sheet and in the oven at 350 for half an hour. Pure healthy protein to get swole with no woke "techniques" or "flavors"

I'm not proud. A lot of respect for this manufacturer though. Boring cars in the best way.

Shout out to Colin Gillan if you're still out there somewhere!

There was something I always liked about that, so in my current project, there's a menu that appears when you click on an icon of our robot product. The menu didn't already have a name in the code, so in my automated tests I call it "wee_robot_menu" bc it shows up when you click on the wee robot!

For instance (this was before GUIs!) instead of typing the full name of a company, you could type an abbreviation referred to in the documentation as the "Wee name."

About 1000 years ago I got a summer-nerd-job working with software developers at a directional drilling company. One of the software managers there was Scottish, and he had snuck a bit of Scots into the user interface here and there.

About 1000 years ago I used to carpool with a radiation oncologist at a large HMO.

She had an infinite number of stories of patients who rejected "mainstream" cancer treatment, then turned back up in her office a year or 18 months later much much worse.

Time is of the essence. Make good decisions.
