@benbjurstrom @JakeDChampion @ryanchenkie Good to know. Does the mini split still heat/cool well enough with the windows open?

[Dave Cadwallader @geek_dave]

@benbjurstrom @JakeDChampion @ryanchenkie Considering something similar. Do you ever feel like the air gets stale from lack of ventilation? I wonder about the CO2 buildup specifically, leading to fatigue/headaches.

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video.

@chaseadams Timer: use it every day for cooking and games. Current date since I always forget (bonus preview of tomorrow's date!) Sunset/sunrise time is nice to plan my day. High/low/current temp. 4 things I used to check my phone to see and can now keep a passive awareness of.

@chaseignited @SlackHQ +1. One thing I wrestle with is whether it's OK to discuss things *in the feed channel* (in response to an automated msg) or whether those channels should be silent except for the bots.

insight that still holds: "A remote team may be less productive than that same team if it were co-located, but may still be more productive than the best co-located team you can form." by @martinfowler https://t.co/aawFPSasgp #agile #culture #devops

Early in my time managing the Data team at Stripe, @jeffbalogh built a tool called Hubble with massive impact. Here's what it did:

1/Welp, I spent last night continuing my research into the #blizzard2022 #hoax.

Thankfully, @Twitter and Facebook have helpful algorithms that pointed me in the direction of *real* experts who helped me round out my thinking.
