I didn’t have those as often in my life back then - but these days for sure

I absolutely want to know the percentage of all my purchases that are tax, VAT, tarrifs, whatever. Give me the breakdown like the nutrition facts on a box of cereal

You know a really handy cognitive trick for being less wrong? Training yourself to ask not just "can x lead to y" but "how much of the time does x fail to lead to y"

Seems simple but will save you a world of grief I truly believe

Here's a Black History Month fun fact: Washington Square Park in Philly is named after George Washington, an inveterate slave owner. What if the enslaved people buried under that park came back as zombies and ate white people? Back our Kickstarter to find out. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

I’m still upset at Apple for dropping Dashboard from OSX. It’s been over five years and my muscle memory still tries to bring it up all the time.

That thing where I’m trying to stretch out this book I’m reading to last me through Friday so I can roll right in to Wind and Truth

My web development students don't even know what files they own are. We have to review file structure every assignment that requires JavaScript or CSS.

They live out of their downloads folder like it's a van by the river.

It’s crazy what a solid breakfast will do to my perception of a hotel. I could have to sleep on a damp sack of metal washers and still give a five star rating if you give me a decent omelette after.

Hot apple cider, metamucil, and a shot of caramel vanilla-flavored vodka. I call it the β€œlumpy scarecrow”

Do the children know who Mr Rogers was? I feel like it’s our duty to ensure they know who Mr Rogers was…

All these years as a non-smoker on team β€œlegalize it,” I never considered having to wonder whether I smelled like weed because I took the Broad Street Line to get to work

Maybe warn the person sitting next to you at the bar so there is less surprise-induced spillage

If Septa had been this bad when I first moved to Philly I probably wouldn’t have stayed.

National Portrait Gallery is pretty great, has a lovely covered courtyard for having a coffee/hot chocolate, and is in a neighborhood lousy with great places to eat. Also a short walk to the National Spy Museum.

Streaming services should have both β€œmark all watched” and β€œunmark all” for series

I need to get back in to the rigor of writing professionally so I stop half writing posts I wanna get out.

My knee jerk reaction was β€œyea of course - it’s…” then nothing…

Like how do I not know of a service for this? If you don’t find anything lemme know and I’ll build it :P
