This will be the thing that gets me to listen to a podcast. Looking forward to it!

One other weird thing: When I asked the question in AI Mode, it gives the correct answer. The AI overview seems to be where the "fun" happens on this one.

I really enjoyed this book, even though I had the inauspicious timing of starting it in early March 2020.

I heard Tony La Russa last night and practically fell off my chair in surprise.

Couldn't they have recorded more than, like, three of them?

To be fair, NJ has better pizza too, although we call it tomato pie.

Perhaps this was a sign to go all in on wild fermentation. "If I don't know what hops are there, who cares about the microorganisms." (Note: I do not recommend this route.)

But I should state, I do not envy anyone trying to predict snowfall across New Jersey.

I'm a bit south in northern Mercer County, and will take whatever precipitation deigns to fall out of the sky at this point.

I suggest Woodford's, it's a lot smoother, unless punishing yourself in more than one way is the point. The polltical press really cannot learn a lesson.

C. diff is absolutely terrifying. My spouse had it, and it was one of the worst things we've gone through (obviously worse for her than me). This is very good news.

I'm getting tired of hearing the phrase "rapid intensification", but I feel like the ocean is trying to tell us something.

Been playing Fallout X again?

Our best cat (RIP Diego) would sit with me for about 5 minutes when I went to bed. I assume this is because I'd played with him by moving my hands under the blanket when he was a kitten. Then he went off and did his own thing. No muss, no fuss, just saying goodnight, and we all slept well.

Their wordlist is shittily arbitrary on many axes, yet every morning I delay working to play the game. It's better to be frustrated by arbitrary word games than arbitrary work objectives, I guess.

You were an author whose books I enjoyed before I found you on Twitter, then I followed you here. I may have been aware of your presence on MetaFilter before I followed you on Twitter. Details are hazy in that regard.

Don't get me started on the people who disturb roosting owls because they want a photo or good look. It's unbelievable how many people think their social media posts or eBird lists are more important than the birds' safety and comfort.

A robot that roams the aisles at Stop and Shop, Marty look like a tall, gray vaccuum cleaner gone wrong, and has googly eyes pasted to the top part of their chassis to make them look disturbingly unhumanlike.

Marty says hey.

Among the many awesome things my kid has done, they've introduced the rest of us to Centaurworld. You know what you need to do.

Well deserved!

Google changing their algorithm almost killed Metafilter, too. Was this the same thing?

I can't believe I used to run towards a ringing phone.
