I am adopting this superchonk next weekend!

need name ideas. He is Bear rn and I want to stick with a B-name. Biscuits and Bacchus are my first ideas. anyone got an idea? I like names that either refute the dog's obvious nature (like a chihuahua named Tank) or lean into it (like Bear does)

oh god I once spent a roadtrip listening to Big Country's greatest hits CD and that dude's voice is just unbearable to me. somehow both wooden and processed. he makes Hootie sound as broad and rich as a pipe organ.

Don't forget Nemik! Nemik wrote a whole manifesto.

obviously I'm not seeing the whole context here but it seems super weird to put this fig leaf of immutability on a mutable property. seems like a bountiful source of subtle timing bugs.

what's happening in val x = x?

it looks like it's redefining an already declared variable.

can you share the french toast bake recipe? @saucytoad.bsky.social and I have been experimenting with similar things.

the silver lining of light pollution is that the planets really pop out of the sky on a clear night.

Tonight in arctic-chilled Seattle, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn/Venus are dotting the ecliptic like rhinestones.

guesses: 2nd picture is a bread pudding of some kind, 3rd is some kind of yummy pasta, 4th is a fig-based pizza?
