Went to lunch with my bosses to a restaurant nearby the office. Scanned the QR code to see the menu (ugh). Noticed that the chef is apparently having a good time naming his menu items.

@jay Another reason not to have qr link-to-web menu. Words like that need to be in print.

Dear business contact,

Thank you for the reply that did not address my concern and merely deflected and obfuscated the issue at hand. If it is agreeable to you, may I suggest you get bent in the near future?

Cheers!

@the_etrain I don't think we use the phrase "get bent" enough. Its one of my faves.

"Jackpot", I whispered. The underwear section of the Sears catalog had really come through this time.

@the_etrain the number of people who will get this joke is ever shrinking...

...but not me because I saved all those catalogs!

Great plan . Release your new track on the same day that Taylor Swift drops her new album. Brilliant. Oh, and The Wiggles dropped an album too? Great. That’s just great.

I have a playlist on Soundcloud of my own original rock music and I’d love for you to check it out, preferably on some good speakers, up loud. I’m really proud of this, and would love to hear what you think.

If you have “I like music” in your profile, you must listen. It’s the law!! 🫶

Boosts very much appreciated! 🤗

I don't go for top tier on anything. Ever see a wedding cake? That's the smallest tier.

@the_etrain And that's the part you are supposed to keep in the freezer and eat on your anniversary. Gross.

Just added jQuery to a project because it works, modern JS is an abomination and screw you

JimRockford,
@JimRockford@hachyderm.io avatar

@tomw I feel ya, that is why (at least for small projects) I'll write some extension methods for interacting with the dom. Its a constant struggle between my appreciation of concise code and my loathing of module creep. Good luck ;)

here's the screen ruler I use that folks were asking about https://github.com/andrijac/ruler

A ruler for your pixels

@shanselman thanks! I've had the use for such a tool, disappointed with wha i found, and considered writing one for plasma, but this one is good.

I created a mnemonic to remember my high school girlfriend's birthday and I cannot unfucking remember it 25+ years on.

@the_etrain I have this but with my x-wife's birthday.

So, if I'm reading this right, Mike Johnson's wife can tell me if my humors are balanced as they relate to Jesus? And people pay her actual money for this?

Funny, she married someone so humorless...
