I read so many library books that I moved to Cleveland to be a software developer at OverDrive (all opinions are my own, as they say)

The full body shudder this just produced in me

YouTube is down for the first time in recent memory. I assume because they added more AI to it

Hot sauce packaging the color of Pepto Bismol is really throwing me for a loop

Not the most active night I've seen over Lake Erie, but I'm happy to have the excuse to spend a couple hours out in the cold

No northern lights yet. Cleveland's looking great across the frozen lake though.

It's 7 degrees out, but the skies are clear and there's supposed to be an aurora, time to put on all my clothes and head towards the lake

It works exactly the same way in my browser. Just moving a feed from the bottom to the top is very annoying, there doesn't seem to be a way to drag them.

Yep, though it can be slow, from the home screen press the "#" and then the gear icon

Looks like it really is a site wide search indexing issue: bsky.app/profile/bnew...

I don't think this is intentional, no searches for anything (including "food", "Renee Nicole Good", and "Jonathan Ross") give me results from the last 3 hours. @pfrazee.com is search indexing just slow?

I was wondering why your posts had a spam warning, that sucks.
Definitely going to double check that all of the bsky moderation tools hide instead of hiding

I hope so! The pier was my default leisure biking destination in past years, and I'll be happy to brave the come to get out there again

We won't be able to judge the quality of the research until the talk, or really until a paper is published, meanwhile my sleep is already impacted by anxiety over it.

The coverage of this is like watching reaction videos to a teaser for a trailer of a movie.
The only thing shared from the study so far is a press release about an abstract for a conference talk, and that's generating tons of coverage ranging from stop using melatonin immediately to ignore it

These games are both excellent with strong narratives and relatively short play times, I can't recommend them enough

Long-term use of melatonin supplements to support sleep may have negative health effects Research Highlights: A review of 5 years of health records for more than 130,000 adults with insomnia who had used melatonin for at least a year found they were more likely to be diagnosed with heart ...

As if the clock change wasn't bad enough, now I have to worry that the melatonin that's been keeping my sleep on schedule for the year and a half may be damaging my heart

That's what I get for listening at 1.8x speed. Well if you ever make it happen, you'll have at least one sale

@lukeplunkett.com Can you share any more about the X-Wing /TIE Fighter book you mentioned writing on the Aftermath Hours podcast? Like I can pre-order it?
Those games and books have been bouncing around my head nonstop for decades

I'm generally against constant surveillance and for profit policing, but I'm finding myself more and more in favor of putting up speed cameras everywhere
