A map of Pittsburgh with a house, some points of interest, and a green polygon denoting "places it's easy to walk to" and a larger blue one for "places it's easy to bike to"

considering moving? I made a thing:

input the potential home, input all the places you might go to, see where you'll want to walk and bike, see what that'll feel like and your average time traveling
(green: walk, blue: bike)

Imagine a 2x2 of "can do it / can't" and "say you can do it / don't say anything"

"Don't say anything + can do it" feels impressive, unassuming newbie surprisingly wins

But "say you can do it + do it" is actually way more impressive. You're so good, you can stake reputation on it

Thread of and about called shots

this made me google and I was like "wait ... that's a real guy!"
... but then, nevermind, I was thinking of Joe Shlabotnik
well that's cool anyway, idk

with an introduction by Joe Garagiola! amazing

I loved Peanuts as a kid, but I think this was the only Peanuts to actually make me laugh out loud. just such a good payoff.

@nedroid.com he loves it. His comments:
- he's wearing sunglasses!
- he doesn't have Beartato with him...
- (waving the paper around) it's so windy! It's gonna blow away the fridgerator!

ahhhh yayyyy thank you
I will show this to him tonight, I am sure he will love it

I saw this reposted and I was just gonna reply to say exactly this, except I did a year ago 😅

"Josh! Josh! Did I tell you my clever idea yet??"

I feel like Gwern Nicotine is its own category of info hazard

"Brilliant, trustworthy writer finds a narrow path to modest improvement with dropoff into great pain; audience thinks they can all walk that narrow path; many cannot"

@nedroid.com My wife and I love this comic so we printed it out. Now our 3yo loves it too. But he especially loves Mr. Caruthers. He always says "I wanna see Mr. Caruthers". We say "there's more Beartato and Reginald" but he is not satisfied, he wants the whole Mr. Caruthers extended universe

I don't know

but my favorite nugget about tennis scoring is that you can remove "23" and "32" and just say 22 is deuce; every two-transition path out of it is identical to deuce's (and you must play at least 2 more points)

I just like annoying tennis ppl by saying "deuce" instead of 30-all

oh yeah I got into it for a while! it was pretty fun! you could sometimes get something real degenerate going, which is imo the best part of roguelikes! and then sometimes you'd run into hexia and just get shut down

somewhere a monkey paw is curling

tubbs was one of the cats! if he showed up, he'd eat all your food
(then you'd have to ... buy more? I don't even remember)

heck yeah

I only remember trying to catch em all, and tubbs showing up and eating all your food

oh yeah no I am too! I have a bunch of them, always delightful

the original is near and dear to me tho

particularly this one comes up all the time

oh man I loved ebbits - is it back somewhere?

wait, that's a great idea. just food processor and then ice cube tray them?

prequel: The Ar and the Oyle (it is a popeye movie)

amen
much as I hate to admit it, the gameplay is by and large actively bad

the funny thing is, it's not even js js, it's ts js

... while I see what they're going for, "healthcare abolition" is a spectacularly bad name for it

sounds like you're bulking, not cutting

omg wait:

we detected a suspicious login. was this you?
🔘I'm all right
🔘Danger zone!

wait is myers briggs also just time cube?

did anyone make a login library/service called "kenny" yet

absolutely gave me enough to talk about with y'all before really knowing you, enabling me to get to the point where I'm part of it.
I think about that as an example for offline spaces too: any group I think about forming/joining, do they have an StS?

solomon: we'll cut the baby in half
dad 1: no, you can't do it!
dad 2, who happens to be michael jackson: 🎵 but the kid is not my son 🎵
solomon: why didn't you just say so? ok dad 1 he's all yours
