The object of this year's expedition is to see if we can find any trace of last year's expedition.

A 5/10 collapse? Amateurs.

@liebcricket Some of their tail actually scored runs. That's not how you have a collapse in 2024.

Be honest: do you actually finish each side project before starting a new one?

Or do you have a whole bunch of unfinished side projects? ๐Ÿค”

@GlenDownton@mastodon.au avatar

@nixCraft Commercial dev projects never end, having unfinished side projects is just realistic training.

Christian McAffrey is chatting to Roger Craig ...

CMC: So what was it like to run the ball for the back in the day?

Craig: Well I'd get in behind and the holes would just appear.

CMC: Mm-hmm, same.

So 8 out of the 11 batters collectively faced 18 deliveries and scored 5 runs.

Not ideal.

Not the first time I've said it and I have a feeling I'll be saying it every week ...

For All Mankind is the awesome The Expanse origin story.

It just seems to dovetail more and more each episode.

@troberts That's up there with the Rick Astley / Nirvana mashup.

@troberts I love the fact that Rollins and Shatner are good friends. It's not the most obvious pair of besties that would spring to mind!

If there's a better way of ending a day than with a good solid as the sun is going down then I don't know what it is.

I'm seeing people on here talking about blocking Threads, but as a software engineer I've made a career out of threading blocks.

GlenDownton,
@GlenDownton@mastodon.au avatar

Blocking Threads isn't an issue. Unless they're all blocking, in which case you'll probably have to cycle the server.

And spare a thought for the poor dev who's going to get that unreproducible bug report.

Why is every job app cover letter I write always exactly 1 page + 1 line long?

GlenDownton, to running
@GlenDownton@mastodon.au avatar

Went for my this evening. It was meant to be 10 laps around the local park, but I miscounted to the extent that I did 13(!) instead.

I'd like to claim it was because I was totally in the zone, eye of the tiger and all that, but the reality is I'm so distracted by various life stresses at the moment that I can't count to 10 and run at the same time.

At least I over-counted, not under-counted, and my fitness is enough that I didn't notice the difference. 'Spose that's something.

So sad to read of the passing of actor Andre Braugher. Really loved him as Captain Holt in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but also as the lead in Last Resort.

RIP Captain.

And now Tom Selleck is trending over on the ex-site. I genuinely can't bring myself to click the link.

Can someone tell me (gently)? Is he ... ??
