Trying to hold a hybrid (in-person/Zoom) meeting while in an open-plan office where there are other conversations going on.

No, we tried headsets. The microphones pick up other people talking 10 feet away, so there's a hideous echo.

Once again caught by the unsearchability of Mastodon. I saw a toot about a week ago that just came up in conversation, but now I have no way to find it again.

Started teaching my almost-8-year-old twin nieces to spin practice fireknives.

Our last 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle had two extra pieces.

This one was missing a piece.

Based on this sample (n = 2), the average puzzle has 0.5 extra pieces.

Plugging it into an online calculator, I get a 95% confidence interval of 1997.560 – 2003.440.

Not sharing those chips is a crime against caninity. #Violet

Portland's brutal heatwave continues and lives are at stake. If you can, volunteer for a shift at a misting station -- no experience required.

Instead of preparing for a future disaster, perhaps we should be helping the people who are experiencing disaster right now.

During any British heat wave, I can only hope the National Health Service has Daleks hooning around London squirting water on people and shrieking, "HYDRATE! HYDRATE!"

It wouldn't be a theme month without a gratuitous coffee table book.

Plot twist: We don't have a coffee table. Or coffee.

If laziness is one of the virtues of the programmer...

Everybody talks about the soft underbelly but you never hear about the armored overbelly.

Setting up my new Monument photo storage device and also downloading Monument Valley. COINCIDENCE?
