In 2015, inspectors found that in six months, Manchester Airport’s sniffer dogs did not detect a single person carrying heroin or cocaine. They did, however, reliably find cheese and sausages hidden in passengers’ luggage.

Charlie Munger on remote work for Software Engineers:

"those people are never going back"

"If your job in life is to get on the telephone and talk to other engineers all over the world while you solve problems, why do you have to do it from an office?"

@drjenwolkin A little bit of alexithymia, a little bit of appetite suppression from meds?

Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop.

Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing.

His crime—asking police for help.

This DnD OGL video has taken some incredible turns. Can't wait to tell people.

Things were not always thus. Going to conventions in the 90s, D&D was pretty unpopular. I have personally experienced a broad ecology of publishers and players where D&D was considered a thing of the past.

And that era seemed a lot more dynamic and fun to me.

I've seen reports of #twitterArchive requests timing out without getting a verification code. My own experience is that SMS doesn't work at all, and that email is slow, but I did manage to request my archive. We'll see if it actually get's generated ...

@kitholliday @blackgirlinmain Although my experience of it was different, I understand why some people feel it's hard to sign up to. I don't understand the last two criticisms though.. how is content less connected to its creators? And why do you think there's no ability to form community?

[Matt Pounsett @MattPounsett]

An enlightening thread. @elonmusk has set up a situation where the only reason to stay at @twitter is blind faith, but has also done as much as he possibly can to undermine that faith in the past couple of weeks.

Why I left @twitter or rather why I did not sign up for “extremely hardcore” Twitter 2.0
