It is best for your mental health that you are not emotionally engaged with every single murder, yes. If you are in the first group, especially.

There's a group that's sad when anyone gets murdered
and there's a group that's sad only when someone they like gets murdered
and the second group says the first group is faking it

I have spent a lot of time working on software that automatically synchronizes audio events with visual events and I think we need an app that you give a collection of explosion videos and it sync-sequences them to the 1812 overture.

if they are spacex rockets exploding that's just a bonus

the first step to knowing about something is intuitively hating it so much that you have to figure out what your problem is

Model: a conceptual representation of almost anything
Context: the information that goes with something. Almost anything.
Protocol: rules about how data is transmitted.

These are the generic words you use to pad out your backronym. Using them all in one thing, it's like a guy with three last names

Maybe. Is the hypothesis that if you could reproduce today the features of golden-era twitter, then your app would be as popular as golden-era tw? Or close?

I think that time has passed, and tw development shifted towards attempted profitability some time ago, drawing down on inertial goodwill.

I wear one of these things so people don't run me over. When I do, everyone treats me as a kind of dorky but trustworthy crossing guard type. try it?

I have been trying, for 30 years, to come up with a universal system for organizing all my files. Every year I get more files and more ways to organize them. Sometimes I have to migrate the system. At this point I'm thinking of hiring a librarian.

I've always been a measure twice cut once kind of guy, but I think I overengineered this cat door project a little. Making jigs to hold the door still while I make one single cut in it.

Jigs: cut twice, cut once

I am not the Andr00d that made a watch project that got out of hand (5th place Revision 2025, Wild)

I do, however have a clock project that is in the process of getting out of hand.

tl;dr I thought a clock that was just a qrcode of the time would be funny and now I have a flip dot display WIP.

I don't want to be a type-of-guy type of guy but I spent a few years talking to people in a Seattle bar almost every day and thought the two types of guy were boat guy and startup guy
