@jon_bois You made the right choice.

@JAldrichPL I think you can do a lot when you drop literally everything else, spend the extra money to work crews 24/7, halve the number of lanes, and drop features like "has an underpass."

@aprotim @madebygoogle I have literally never used a phone case before. The Pixel 7 broke me. I slapped a leather skin on the back glass and it feels wrong, figuratively, but so much better, literally.

@durumcrustulum Cool Hand Link

@yourewrongabout I came for the pandering but stayed for the Showbiz Pizza references!

[Adam😮Brady @AdamMBrady]

@__apf__ So you've gone public?

[Adam😮Brady @AdamMBrady]

@davidthewid I agree the "avoid the area" language could be better, but having lived in Charlottesville, I don't think it's unreasonable to alert people to safety risks when there's a protest. I'm not going to take my kids to dinner at the Porch if there's a chance they might get tear-gassed.

[Adam😮Brady @AdamMBrady]

@durumcrustulum Oh no, someone's experiment must be getting a lot of alerts right now.

@pati_gallardo I've been at Google for 11 years and I've used a stapler 3 times :p I don't think moving staplers is a real problem. if you want to optimize every minute of walking, forget the stapler, they'd move the candy bowl to my desk because I certainly do walk to reception for that

I wrote “I am alive” on a piece of paper, and placed it into a photocopier. What I saw next has shocking implications

[Adam😮Brady @AdamMBrady]

@ddryan It comes from the phrase "to eat your own dog food" as in to do quality control on your own product. Most tech companies will turn on experimental features for employees or let them opt-in to early stuff as an easy way to get early feedback.

[Adam😮Brady @AdamMBrady]

@ddryan The term is used for internal testing, so it's a bug that you can see it.

[Adam😮Brady @AdamMBrady]

@__apf__ What's the R-value of that nest, and does it meet local code requirements?

[Adam😮Brady @AdamMBrady]

@JAldrichPL @jeanqasaur It was set at the PA-level before RTO started, so there was nothing to sync.

[Adam😮Brady @AdamMBrady]

@JAldrichPL I think this is a legacy term from when ads were Mad Men-esque bits of copy and hand drawn artwork: magazine spreads, newspaper pages, etc.

@__apf__ Residential water pressure is, like, 60psi or so. I'd rather do electrical than water any day.

[Adam😮Brady @AdamMBrady]

@durumcrustulum The game made this feel way more upsetting. They layered on ludonarrative dissonance by eschewing any "press X to make the moral choice" and just forced you to play out Joel's decision without any choice. I wasn't going to leave Ellie behind, but damn, it was rough.
