@somalley108 @RedHat Which felting technique did you use? I'm always afraid to try felting a project and then messing up all the work that went into crocheting it 😬

@kbsingh Kid asked "what's that tower for" recently. Told him it was a radio tower, got a blank stare back, and realized I had to explain radio. He lost interest when I got to the part about changing stations. I think I lost him at you don't get to pick the songs.

Happy Compiler Day!

Everyone needs a good mentor, especially young professionals. Check out the latest episode of #CompilerPodcast Producer Kim Huang gathered some great perspectives from mentors and mentees!

@AdamBKaplan I think they had enough buzzed haircuts the last two years. That was my backup plan for sure though.

[Jessica Forrester @jwforres]

On the list of things I wasn't expecting to do this evening: remove gum from my child's hair with vegetable oil

[Jessica Forrester @jwforres]

@AdamBKaplan Indeed. It worked though, no ✂️ were needed

We won't judge you! Trying to canvas the community since #kcp was looking at improving controllers to support very large scale problems, and resource version was opaque to allow high scale sharding (which we're poking around at) originally.

@hi_popal Did this exact thing. Family visiting this weekend, and earlier this week I started to go schedule PTO, realized we had picked this weekend because I was going to be off already 🤦‍♀️

@maria_fibonacci We got to watch one molting from its shell recently, it's pretty amazing how quickly they change as they emerge

We saw a cicada begin to molt and watched as it came out with its wings folded

[Jessica Forrester @jwforres]

@cheddarmint Yeah srsly considering it, backup pair is officially too old to be a tolerable backup. Bonus - 2 pairs means 2 color pallettes to match with clothes

[Jessica Forrester @jwforres]

@cheddarmint But Paul it's my week off, can't we pretend it is still Tuesday?

[Jessica Forrester @jwforres]

@serenamarie125 They did! Although they ran off and came back to check on it a bunch because it took longer than their attention span 😄

[Jessica Forrester @jwforres]

Eventually the wings elongated while it sat on the tree

[Jessica Forrester @jwforres]

After its wings unfolded they were initially rounded

Taking a week off work and going to celebrate by spending time with my family 👋🌲🏞

@Join_MalikAdnan I got started programming microcontrollers on educational robotics kits. They were designed to teach you both the breadboarding / electronics side and the functional programming to drive servos and read from sensors.

@jtheory It was released from 20th century fox. My DVD copy has a 2002 copyright but I originally watched it on VHS in the 90s

[Jessica Forrester @jwforres]

For my birthday my hubs found a copy of the original English dub of Totoro, before Disney re-did the translation with new voice actors.

The version I grew up watching 🥰
