I feel like there was a time in my life where I could just hang out for hours and not feel an inescapable need to be flat immediately afterwards, but I honestly can't remember when it was. It's definitely not now.

I voted. If you have that option, you should do that too.

Vote for more trains if you can.

Reminder, if you need to write code you need to listen to the uplink soundtrack.

Apparently I haven't been on my desktop since August 7th.

I forgot that screens could be this big. There's so much room to work here! No wonder my laptop has felt cramped.

I'm at a wedding where I know LITERALLY nobody except a waving acquaintance with the Groom, who is my partner's long time friend. My partner is off being on the wedding party and I am in a loud room in uncomfortable shoes with nobody familiar. I have never left less social in my life.

Set to give the same talk I gave a couple of weeks ago tonight. I'm sure that having woken up at 04:15 this morning will not affect this negatively at all.

In completely a unrelated question, anyone know what counts as a "dangerous" amount of caffeine in a single day?

I'm really realizing that I'm terrible at using "social media".

Which is ironic because I seem to keep hosting various versions of it for other people.

Does anyone remember the Reinhart-Rogoff affair? The paper that was widely used to justify austerity policies, but where the main result was only an artifact due to the researchers screwing up their Excel formulas?

So yeah, can't see how putting the random number generator called "AI" in Excel […]

There are only 3 topics that make up most conversations that you'll hear on Amateur radio: the weather, traffic, and amateur radio.

Joining an Amateur Radio Club is like suddenly acquiring a whole a room full of dads. And (at least) a few spare cranky grandpa's too.
