I’ve complained about NBC’s coverage a bit, but one small thing I like: they show the speed/gradient for different groups on the climbs.

Really glad I tested my water filter before an overnight: found the one I was going to bring has an abysmal flow rate even after trying to flush. I have a backup which works so it's getting promoted 😆

Is there a way in this new immunity situation where we could argue that, while official, it IS criminal? Thinking like really egregious things: assassination, war crimes, whatever. Is there no way to challenge the precedent now?

This particular problem seems to be: we want faster UI iterations. The solution they are discussing is a new component library. But a new component library just adds a new set of work on an already tall pile of work and doesn't actually address the problem

Always fun when C-level decisions are under consideration without consulting the people that are involved. And usually when it is, it is presented without explaining the problem that is trying to be solved.

/2 Motive being irrelevant means that the President can do a thing for expressly lawless reasons so long as the thing is within the extremely broad range of official acts. So question isn’t “can the President conspire to defraud,” it’s “can the President call a state official about an election.”

If you had said years ago one party will try to make our government an autocracy, I could believe that. What I can't believe is who they want to be their dictator.

SCOTUS is telling us that it has completely signed on to the project of a second Trump administration, which is establishing an elected autocracy.

Like why do I need a split screen of people talking? I don’t understand the NBC style of doing sports. I want to watch the athletes, not people talking.

At one point during a viewing of St. Elmo’s Fire, I realized I had zoned out. Maybe I had missed something? Then I read the plot online and learned I had missed nothing. The photography is quite interesting, but there it is just… nothing

Last night I needed to go into the crawlspace to turn on the sprinklers. While I was down there I was thinking of investigating running more ethernet ... but that portion of the floor is covered in cobwebs. So ... not sure if we'll be making headway on that project soon :D

I really cannot get used to trying to find things in the new NPR site/app. I've tried getting used to it, but it seems very oriented towards just giving you a little bit of content and then making you jump through hoops to get to things you want.

Was watching a lip sync of a Monty Python scene… then made the mistake of reading comments on the YouTube of the movie clip. It’s amazing to me that people can interpret the clip as both FOR and AGAINST what it is talking about.
