I'm only gonna turn 50 once, so we're having rum and tequila slushies at the party tonight.

From the NYT obit: “After ‘The Elephant Man,’ Mr. Lynch was asked by Mr. Lucas to direct ‘Return of the Jedi.’”

Oh, what could have been.

Ewok fever dreams.

Just want to give a shout out to the typed-ffmpeg Python package. It's good at what it does, and the developer has been so responsive and a joy to work with. Definitely made my work easier.

This happened to us today...

To be fair, my fitbit reports only 7h39m of sleep.

Anyone have experience publishing with BPB Publishing that they can share?

@ovistoica.com I've added initial support for selecting playback rate. The main issue is that the selection is not "sticky", and you'll need to select it for each video you play (which may be the right thing anyway, but I haven't had time to think about it much). Let us know if this works for you!

Maybe take solace in the knowledge that they'd heat them anyway.

The refurbisher is going to fix it.

They were swapped left-to-right, so instead of directing snow to the impeller they were pushing it to the side.

In May I bought a refurbished snow blower, and I've been eagerly awaiting snow ever since. The snow arrived (and how!), and the machine worked...poorly.

On inspection, the auger blades are mounted in reverse 🤦

Transducers are a really interesting idea, and @robert.smallshire.no has put together a really nice course exploring them through the lens of #Python. It's free over on @tubetrain.io!

Just finished with that over here. Some days I enjoy moving snow, but today was not one of them.

Going out for my first skate of the year today. Hope my body remembers what to do!

Definitely read Pynchon, Dodge, and Wolfe, and I think a few others. I want to look at your list in more detail when I get home; I've never been hooked by Le Guin, but I want to be. I'll probably take up the challenge then, too.

Hey, Hudson Hawk is a terrific movie!

No passing 🤣

How's the ice? Am I missing the best skating of the winter?

Anyone have experience with OTC hearing aids? I'm apparently not clinically in need of hearing aids, but I definitely suffer in some situations (lots of background noise with multiple languages, in particular). Guidance or suggestions would be great!

I'm not about to let some street sign tell me how to do version control!

Oh wait...face down! I can still do it, but that's definitely not an aikido thing 🤣

Years of aikido have - if nothing else - taught me to fall down well, and to do what you describe. At this point, though, my knees have to cooperate as well.

Thanks!
