Got all caught up on the news, and folks, things are very bad

Funniest language barrier coffee order of my life: I asked for a decaf espresso (I know I know) and they brought me a decaf americano with a shot of espresso??????? Amazing

I really, really enjoyed The Last Black Man in San Francisco. It's playing at the Academy Theatre in Portland all week, go see it.

Starting to worry the Jays might not make the playoffs this year.

WeWork's greatest success is fooling the investment community out of billions of dollars without using the word "Blockchain" even once.

to reiterate cause i just hit this super hard: the worst part of learning is thinking you understand something, and then having to solve a problem which absolutely trounces what you thought you understood. makes you realize you have to start over at square one. truly devastating.

Mini-ITX boards are cute and deserve attention, thank you.

Cars with “shooting brake” in the name should all be driven straight into the dump

This worked out well by the way. Turns out adding a HUGE heat sink to a 300W GPU is a good call. This plus new fans make it inaudible now. 👍🏻👍🏻

getting into some trouble

Dang I hate it when houses I like sell for [triple checks screenshot] $843M over asking.

An astute observation by one of my lab-mates: Every component used in basic electrical engineering feels designed to gatekeep – nothing is user friendly, everything requires deciphering some obtuse codes or interface. Kinda wild this is the norm after 50+ years of electronics.

me, as they're throwing my abused and near-lifeless body over a border wall: "gotta... hear..... both....... .... sides"

siri, show me the worst possible headline encapsulating the events of the last 48 hours

Just curious: if you have an iPhone XS and take pretty good care of it, is your screen also scratched to hell?
