Something I'm seeing: People so concerned about keeping a c3 from prioritizing other social causes over its actual mission that *they* are the ones prioritizing other social causes (fighting against the aforementioned social cause) over the actual mission.

Just found myself writing code that involves the term `absolute_relative_position`. I probably definitely need to rename this.

I'm pretty sure Mastodon is the first social network I've been on that didn't immediately ask me to betray all of the people in my address book.
Sailor Shikiori Yodaki is a great ink match for this Sailor 1911S Fried Egg Jellyfish. Yes I said those words and yes they are about a pen.
..which is ~15%. Low-priced items are 50% higher ($3 vs $2).
Is the delivery service inflated menu price problem getting worse? I'm staring at a Grubhub menu right now where the entrees are a full $2 more than they are on the restaurant's menu.

I’m searching for a role as a Principal Engineer at an early-ish (<150) startup, or on a small, empowered cross-functional team with direct customer impact. I’m looking for a connection to positive outcomes where I can solve the most ambiguous and challenging technical problems, regardless of where in the stack they are. I have extensive experience building and maintaining systems code. I’m passionate about contributing to foundational open source projects.

I plugged them into Puremaps and it led me straight there while I was also listening to a podcast.

The quote attributed to Rove (2/2):
And while you are studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors, and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.
The quote attributed to Rove (1/2):
People like you are still living in what we call the reality-based community. You believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality. That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality.
Fun story about Karl Rove and The National. And a great (alleged) quote. Not sure about the part where the journalist who reported the quote is getting a royalty cut from the song it's used in...

I really did not want to like this expensive Lo-Fi dry vermouth, but unfortunately it's delicious. Not such a fan of their "gentian amaro", which is shocking since I think my daily Blood Gentian Level is at least 12%.
What makes anyone think I want my glasses case to loudly snap shut?
I heard you like Ubuntu, so...
