Very proud of the team for building this feature, excited to see it ship. It's a great balance of privacy and safety and has been a lot of fun to engineer. Don't be toxic 😅

Son: How do you know my hip isn't broken?
Me: You'd be screaming and pain and couldn't walk.
Son: That's what you told me about my wrist, but it /was/ broken.

Okay, valid point, but his hip isn't broken...

@dpolehn I have to do the same, with the complication that I have two dogs and they don't run at the same speed.

I end up getting pulled by one and pulling the other, when I take them. 😅

I've been running in Altra shoes for years because I like the wider toebox, but ultimately just go somewhere that lets you try on a bunch and has a good return policy.

The shoes I love may not work for you and that's okay.

I've done a few 40 and 50 mile ultras, as well as regular marathons in them.

@BCarpenterBooks Is it possible to do both, or is there an exclusivity thing that prevents it?

[Joe Barrett @BarrettJ]

@BCarpenterBooks Nice job!

[Joe Barrett @BarrettJ]

@WeaponOutfitter Congratulations!

It only gets more fun as they get older, too.

I'm sure the Forza Horizon 6 team did a great job on the soundtrack, but if I'm racing around Japan, the ONLY thing I want to be blasting is the Initial D soundtrack.

@HackingLZ More or less miscounting and mislabeling than humans did?

Eh, agree to disagree. I do agree it's mentality, but not with the conclusion.

I met my wife on https://t.co/sP50mEJIge back in 2008 and we instantly clicked. Been together 18 years, married 16 this June.

We would never have crossed paths without it. We both went in the app with the goal of wanting a serious long term relationship, though. And I think that's the difference.

@ImposeCost I couldn't help but laugh at her absolute lack of a reference point. Ah well, good to be humble!

[Joe Barrett @BarrettJ]

Me: (benches 225 for the first time, insanely happy with myself)
Wife: "Neat. Is that something people who go to the gym regularly would think is a big deal?"

She's my biggest fan, but sometimes comes in out of nowhere with an incrediblely sick burn. 😅

@BiggestComeback In about six months at age 30, I went from no running to a 3:21 marathon.

In a year in my early 40s, I've gotten to a 225lb bench.

I'm saying the 300lb bench is much harder, at least for my personal biomechanics.

[Joe Barrett @BarrettJ]

@sam_gzstrength Pro parenting move right there.

[Joe Barrett @BarrettJ]

@sam_gzstrength I just told her to trust me, it was a big deal. 😁

I'm not saying we need to nuke it and start over with a fresh set of assumptions, but there's a lot of blind faith given to open source (npm, extension marketplaces, etc) that is built on very shaky foundations.

I think it's obvious that the risk calculus has changed since they were first built, but protections haven't.

@ryanpatrickauth Extra-extra-tall wheels?

@ryanpatrickauth Sounds like this is gonna be your day.

I endorse the book, provided you like darker fantasy.

Here's the pitch. A bride and her entire village are murdered on her wedding day by an evil noblewoman who comes to steal her family's heirloom sword. Bride comes back to life. She has seven days to cross the country and reclaim her sword or she dies forever.

If that pitch is at ALL appealing, you'll probably like this book.

Blake is a guy that SHOULD be trad published. He writes stuff the mass market for this kind of fantasy would love, but he won't get that chance because we live in a crazy world.

Which means YOU should give him a shot. He's putting some chapters of the first book up for free. Nothing to lose.
