I was not into Grey's Anatomy and even I remember those ads.

Adopt A Drain Somerville <span class="translation_missing" title="translation missing: en.{:city=>"Somerville"}">{:City=>"Somerville"}</span>

Perhaps a good time to remind folks of the solemn oaths they once swore when adopting a drain: somerville.mysticdrains.org

Also: shoveling out fire hydrants is an underrated community service!

I haven't read it myself, but I've heard nothing but good things about the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and SPECIFICALLY in audiobook form!

"Well, this ought to be different" is perhaps my favorite line from the whole series.

I don't like having to be suspicious of anything with a release date in the past two years.

Business plan: start a combination dispensary and phone store named Higher Calling.

…and it looks like it's fixed! Thank you for looking into it!

I hear Maine is lovely at this time of year, though!

The Feedly "Auto-Mark As Read On Scroll" preferences section, showing the "Full Articles View Only" radio button selected and "All Views" and "No" deselected.

Heeeey @feedly.com, I think something is busted with "Auto-Mark As Read On Scroll" in the browser. No matter what I set the preference to, articles don't get marked as read when I scroll past. This seems to be a recent, spontaneous behavior change, and I wanted to call it to your attention. Thanks!

Trust me, you wouldn't like "no grapes."

If anything, I want them to make the phone thicker so the camera doesn't stick out, then fill in that expanded space with more battery.

…but it sounds like you're imagining a more active role on the "engine" side?

In a lot of ways, this sounds like how the checks-and-balances system is SUPPOSED to work, especially between the judicial (interpret the constitution) and legislative (make laws that have to "run" in the "engine" of the constitution), no?

I mean, this is certainly in keeping with a wider philosophy of "somebody told me something I didn't want to hear, so I fired them."

…but they weren't masking pre-COVID, were they? THAT'S the part that's especially bonkers to me.

It still blows my mind that (a) hospitals/doctors' offices aren't mask-mandatory 100% of the time and (b) basically never have been (right?).

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest! Killer soundtrack. Super reductionist gameplay/simple animations. Definitely on the short list of games that made me think "yeah, I'd like to try to make a game some time."

The title screen of ZZT, a DOS game from 1991. The title screen shows a small demo of elements of the game, a "legend" explaining what the various symbols in its ASCII-based world mean, and a list of keyboard commands for operating the game.

This is extremely ZZT.

I've really enjoyed Stella Parks' recipe from Bravetart if you're looking to do the whole thing from scratch!

…more directly, though, both past-tense forms of "troubleshoot" would sound at least a little strange to me as a reader in pretty much any resume-ish context, and the gerund is a lot more familiar. If "troubleshoot" is the right word, I'd aim for "responsible for troubleshooting" or similar!

Hello! We haven't met, but a mutual shared this. Is this a context where "debugged" would work? As a resume reader in the engineering world, that's what I'd expect to see for something the writer was involved in building, but not for operating a thing that already existed.

New career plan: open a drinking establishment near MIT called The Error Bar.
