Ethan Math & Computer Science Stude... 1w • Edited • © • 3rd+ + Follow a few weeks ago i got stopped in my college dining hall with 9 hard boiled eggs. one of the staff pulled me aside and said, "there's a new rule: you can only take 3 eggs a day." i asked why. they said, "someone's been eating 15 a day." i just nodded. because that someone... was me. every morning of that month, i'd show up early, lift, and eat anywhere from 13-20 eggs. no butter, no salt, just protein and routine. it wasn't glamorous. it definitely wasn't tasty. i wasn't trying to make a statement. i wasn't trying to get noticed. i was just doing what worked. but here's what i learned: consistency - even when it's quiet, strange, or a little excessive - eventually makes noise

you don't need to broadcast your effort. you just need to show up enough times that the system around you starts to adjust. sometimes it's a new policy. sometimes it's a new opportunity. but people notice. and that can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you're building. i was just building muscle. they were building a rulebook. we both hit our goals.

My first act as president will be to ban LinkedIn Voice and send anyone afflicted with it to taxpayer-funded reeducation camps

Let’s add awful battery drain to the list. 47% at 10:30 am after regular usage since 7:30 am

A medieval artwork, in colour, which depicts a scaly, brown devil (who has chicken feet, a tail and visible vertebrae) carrying Jesus away into the hills. Jesus is a pale-skinned man with brown hair and beard, wearing an orangey robe. He has a strangely stiffened posture, as if paralysed.

R2D2 and C3PO on a poster that says "parents of earth, are your children fully immunized? Make sure, call your doctor or health department today. And may the force be with you.

From 1977, back when CDC would partner with Star Wars to promote immunization among kids... How did we go from this to Jr?

In my “I can only rock the party until a reasonable hour” era (stolen from fb friend)

It’s headlines like this that make the death of journalism just a little more bearable.

Summertime, am I right?

It’s 3:16 here. What is wrong with my Clock widget? Wrong answers only.

In my “I slept just fine, why is my shoulder all messed up?” Era

In my “where did this scrape on my shin come from and why isn’t it healing yet” era

I think I’m in my “grunt when I sit down for the senior discount at Denny’s” era.

I want a podcast app that works like radio in the car - hit a button and give me little previews of the latest episodes content, then scan to the next. I can hit a button to start any episode that intrigues me. Anything like that out there?

wat? no

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

If Gen Z really wants to dunk on millennials, they should learn about Foursquare and go around saying stuff like, "I hear you're the mayor of this Panera Bread."

I just grabbed a spool - be sure to get yours before it goes away

You'd think someone with a Master's in Special Education (me) would be able to spell accessibility correctly, right? Apparently not.

Yeah lemme see what I can do

Yep - it’s me! I loved sending that to your address.

The foxen army advances.

The “inside you there are two wolves” meme, with one wolf labeled “I have the most amazing idea for a new project“ and the other wolf labeled “I need to take a vacation soon or I will literally explode.“

Good morning, Bluesky.

For the record, changing strings on a Bigsby is a pain in the ass.

Sometimes you find Pere Ubu, sometimes you get John Fogerty’s Blue Ridge Rangers (not great)
