Make that cracked up TWICE
Dungeon Crawler Carl fans: If you're done reading book 7, Jeff Hayes is doing a cold read of the beginning of book 8 RIGHT NOW: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDZU...
(And he's already cracked up once)
Do they still overheat?
Pro-tip from @hypatia.bsky.social:when moving Signal messages from one phone to another, place both phones on an ice pack to avoid thermal throttling.
Seriously, it works -- tested with both iPhone to iPhone and Android to Android (Cloud xfer is still in beta)
The Love Boat is amazing. It was a pandemic watch for me and there are very few writers who could work in that format. (3 stories, cast regulars + guest stars, 3 tones, everything resolved in 45 minutes).
Once again I have had to learn that whenever I think the battery life of my Mac laptop is dwindling, I need to open up Activity Monitor only to discover that *multiple* programs are burning through CPU just for funsies.
And one of them is Slack. Always Slack.
You should read this essay. This quote. This quote.
I thought the same thing. Gratefully, the Mission's burrito game is world class.
This was just the best.
Buy once cry once and get the Briggs & Riley backpack! :)
Today's moment of ai zen
It's all ones and zeroes, Maaaaahty.

ARE YOU A SPY????? 😂
yup and yup!
But what about the *brands* Molly.
Ooooh I don't! Got any lying around? :)
Half of my collection "The Storage Media Boneyard" A History of Analog and Digital Storage Media This is a sampling of the thousands of types of media that humans have used to store information over the past several hundred years. From punch cards that stored a few dozen bytes to flash drives that store tens of billions of bytes, storage media have gotten smaller, lighter, cheaper, and faster to read and to write. The majority of this collection consists of paper, tape, spinning disks, solid state (cartridge), and film storage media, but you can find a few more unusual media types, such as wax cylinders, recording wire, and ferrite core memory. Today, the entire contents of this exhibit could fit onto a single hard drive that you could buy at the average computer store. Formerly part of the Google Chicago museum

The empty case that housed The Storage Media Boneyard for over a dozen years. I've packed it up and will be storing it until I find a new home for it.
End of an era. The Storage Media Boneyard is headed off to storage for a while.
What's the oldest piece of media in here that you have used?
(detailed photos here: photos.app.goo.gl/oPwSvGqyJhKu...)
Yep, there's one in there... like 1/4" thick!
If I had to guess, > 75%, but only because there are arcane machines squirreled away all over the world...
oh man ARCHON!!!
Did you play Star Raiders on the 800 too? I have that cart and put SO MANY hours into it... but not as many as I put into Atari Adventure on the 2600 :)
Correct. Tho there's at least one punchcard with a microfiche in it!
How much could they have really researched NeXT if they don't put the logo at 28 degrees?

My family gumbo recipe is an okra gumbo and it's THE BEST
😂
Not on my list of things to do today: open up an email and start sobbing. This is just beautiful.
Thank you Dan.
We made our goal, with about two weeks left to go! Please continue to support us, because that means I can hire more fabricator labor which means I will personally have time to build very small and indulgent pieces of furniture.
