How to get dog-piled on Nextdoor: Ask where you can get a hair cut.

@slightlyflightyone @Absolutely_Blakely @norikawa That's rich people. Most boomers aren't rich.

@brennen I'm like, why wouldn't you get injected? What makes you think it isn't what they say it is, or that they're incompetent enough to do more harm than good?

@gamehawk @christianbundy Nah, she's going to mail them to us as a joke.

@gamehawk Yeah, but that's how the article phrased it, which I thought odd.

Funniest thing I've run across this week... a serious article, on a respectable cooking site, about pepitas, where they spend quite a lot of space insisting that pepitas are not pumpkin seeds, but that they are the seeds of a hull-less variety of... pumpkin.

@gamehawk @fribbledom Too true.

@fribbledom You know, I think our politicians and celebrities are really doing us a favor here... they scoff at the infection, then they get the infection, and they act as an example of how easily it's transmitted.

It's kind of ironic that modern grassroots aid organizations can't get a new project off the ground if they can't find a web designer with time to build the website for it. "People are starving and we want to help them, but first we need someone to build the website."

@fribbledom This would make great swag for my company to hand out at conferences!
(Real talk, we've cancelled all conference attendance, in-person interviews, etc.)

Of all the lines from Babylon 5, Londo Mollari's has stuck with me the clearest... "My shoes are too tight, and I've forgotten how to dance."

I want to have words with any UI designer who has decided scroll bars need to be only 5 pixels wide. Tired of having to have 360 no-scope accuracy to grab a scroll bar with the mouse.

@art Don't I know it. There have been times I've wished I could leave this field and do something with my hands again, but I have never been so thankful to be working in IT. Our company's revenue is even up this month.

Commit message of the day:

> this really fixes it. i know. i tested in in prod.

@tdorey Also, stories. audible.com has free audiobooks, no login or personal info required.

@tdorey My favorite book to read out loud is The Take of Despereaux. The language is just so elegant and easy to read, once you get used to pronouncing Chiaroscuro's name, and it had such a fairy tale feel.

@gamehawk Stop ruining my joke. Also, I don't count oatmeal as breakfast cereal. Saving that for when we're out of milk.

Day 18 of quarantine. The apocalypse is truly upon us. My only breakfast cereal choices are Cheerios and Frosted Mini Wheats. I am reserving the strawberry Pop-Tarts for my last meal.
