I live in Lebanon, #Indiana where I am a husband and father of 2. Loyal son of Wabash College (#WAF). VP, Solution Engineering and Technology at Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE). Hobbies include #pokemongo, #audiobooks, #podcasts, and #weightlifting (although it doesn’t quite outpace my love of #food).

@Brian

Not too bad. Workout this morning was rough but my doctors appointment went well. Got the yard mowed after work, even though it was a little swampy. How was your day?

I have a pair of earbuds that I bought for $20 in 2020 when we first all went remote. These things have been great but I fidget with the case, including the built in USB cable and now it is shorted or frayed or something and I have to finagle it to charge. I could replace them in a heartbeat, but that isn’t the point! It is now a mission to limp these cheap, low quality, broken things along and see how far we can go.

@brian@hoosier.social avatar

Update: they are dead. I messed with these bastards for an hour yesterday trying to get them to charge and everything I tried was a failure. Thank you for your service 🫡

@KrissyKat

I like the way you think. The batteries are ok and the battery life is still surprisingly good for how much I use them! The problem is the case. It won’t accept any incoming power to charge the buds.

In there are 4 dots in the ellipses after the crawl….

In fact all Star Wars movies but do…

Do any nerds know why?

@dragondaddy

Never noticed it before! Thanks for the interesting trivia. I googled around and I think I understand where the 4 come from but not why RotJ has 3.

Love running across a test that states one thing and asserts the complete opposite. Very cool.

Is the test wrong? Is the code wrong? 🤷🏻

Just watched Turtles All The Way Down on Max and liked it. I think the depiction of intrusive thought spirals was pretty legit.

I wonder if they used Hank Green's microscopy videos for the germ shots? 🙂

Living in #indianapolis ("a B- city") I find it funny that they used Miami University and #Cincinnati Ohio as stand in for #Indy. 🤣

Let's be honest. It is definitionally a C city.

If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the , what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

@Jonricha@hoosier.social avatar

Hey, , I’d like to get some solar panels installed on my roof, and I’m intimidated because I know there’s a lot of scammy companies out there. Anyone have any advice, on installers or literally anything else ?

@Jonricha

I think @jcrabapple recently got solar installed. He isn’t in Indiana, but might still have some advice.

Anyone have an (overpriced) Ridge wallet? They now have a MagSafe version and even given the price I'm seriously considering picking one up. I have an Apple MagSafe Wallet today but I want to carry more cards (plus I kinda hate this thing, getting cards out with 3 cards in it is a bitch). I'm a fan of the "idea" of a MagSafe wallet (just not Apple's implementation), which is why the new Ridge is tempting.

brian,
@brian@hoosier.social avatar

@NefariousAryq

I feel like it is suspicious how many replies I have saying “yeah, I own that!” But, ummm, yeah. I have a Ridge wallet! It is just a regular old model, not MagSafe. I’d say it is…fine. Absolutely overpriced. But, very durable. One of the biggest draws was the RFID blocking. I have about 6 or 7 cards in there at any given time and sometimes it is tricky to leaf through them to find the one you need. I tend to keep the most used in front or back to make it easier.

So, the REAL important question is:

Bears, Texans, or Falcons?

brian,

@Jaden3

I’m in Indiana and a Colts fan. We had a great run with Manning and Luck, and I’m hopeful with Richardson. But the AFC South is a whole lot different than it used to be. Stroud is legit.

I’ve heard this and still can’t make the switch happen. I still pronounce it with a hard G and can’t help myself.

A friend convinced me to start reading the Stormlight Archive book series.

I knew Brandon Sanderson also did some of the last Wheel of Time books and I had a real hard time sticking with that series. Something with the writing style didn't hook me. I was expecting these books to hit me the same way, but so far it's been a pretty easy read.

@weston

I’m not big on fantasy so I started with the Steelheart series. After that I hit all of the Mistborn stuff and thought most of it was pretty fun. How does Stormlight compare on the Fantasy scale?
