@ramsey @lisamelton @danirabbit Horrible airport. Especially the terminal you have to wait in for flights to Canada.

Dear conference hotel - A Bose sound bar is not a "professional sound system".

Beautiful beautiful starry night out in these parts.

So glad we moved out of the city.

Just saw a shooting star, or something burning up in the atmosphere.

Go outside. Look up.

How do the comm badges on know where to transport their wearer to? Is the computer reading their minds, or do they tap it differently for various presets?

shawnhooper,
@shawnhooper@fosstodon.org avatar

@Cassandra That’s a good question…. Maybe preset by whoever is operating the transporters. The tap is just a Go button?

Question:

When was the last time your city, state, province, whatever, broke ground on a community center?

@mhoye I’m not sure when the last one was, but our town is building a new one starting this summer.

I just paid for a coffee using Apple Pay. Noticed afterwards that this alert popped up in Apple Wallet for the café’s rewards program.

Does anyone know how this works? I’ve never seen anything recommend a wallet integration like this.

Also, after years of working in live sound, this is the first time I’ve seen feedback referred to as the Larsen Effect. Learned something new!

I wonder if the Canadian Liberal party might now consider keeping their promise to abolish the first-past-the-post system of elections now that their numbers are in the shitter and a worse fascist is on deck

@z3r0fox @gemelliz This feels like the renovations at 24 Sussex. No sitting government wants to do anything about it.

Thermonator Robodog. What could possibly go wrong....

Although it would be handy to clear the driveway in the winter.

Late night walk. It’s midnight. Pass a car parked in a driveway with the interior lights on. House is darkened. They’ll likely have a dead battery in the morning.

Do you:

  1. Try opening the car door and turn off the light.

  2. Knock on the door and see if anyone answers.

  3. Do nothing.

I’m curious.

Do you use Carbon for your Date calculations? The diffIn* methods have changed in V3.

This is documented, but still caught me by surprise when testing updating to 11.

@killianblais great example of tests being useful!

I know Jason at Laravel Shift plans to (or maybe has already) automate this in the upgrade shift.
