Buckeyes, but with dark chocolate and almond butter

The magnets on the tip of the flag trigger the Hall effect sensor in the door alarm. Picked up the magnets and door alarms for $30 on Amazon.

Great way to demonstrate the concept to flag football coaches

[Mark Doyle @markdoylecto]

I created a VERY crude prototype of the @fastastech flag football device for emitting sound when the flag is pulled.

✅️ Shruumz flags
✅️ door alarm (super loud)
✅️ magnets
✅️ double-sided tape

@amasad Good Lord 😐

A lot of people are dunking on this, and it’s true, she should have paid the $60 per month for 20 years and let the forgiveness kick in. But what they’re missing is that she was loaned $65k for a terminal master’s in historic preservation.

That should never have happened.

Tuition has skyrocketed because the ability of students to pay it has completely decoupled from how much money they or their families can afford. Colleges charge infinity dollars because students have access to infinity student loans.

In many cases students hoping a credential will lead to a better life get duped into indenturing themselves permanently to get worthless terminal master’s degrees.

If the loans didn’t exist, then the master’s programs wouldn’t exist, and if the master’s programs didn’t exist then employers wouldn’t be looking for job applicants with master’s degrees which don’t even connote any real skills.

Burn this whole rotten system down.

@SethDillon I had a similar conversation with my daughters tonight about the resurrection.

If you ever doubt it, think about the disciples (apostles). Each one, save for John, died for their testimony about Christ and the joy set before them.

@elonmusk Grok is my go-to for Openclaw related questions. Just incredible.

@nikitabier Wait, Blockbuster has an app?

The Dave Campbell’s Girls Flag Football State Championship Showcase is coming to Arlington on March 21–22, 2026. Hosted by Dave Campbell's Texas Football in partnership with Guardian, this event will bring teams from across the state together to compete, showcase their talent, and help push the momentum toward sanctioning girls flag football in Texas high schools.

The future of girls flag football in Texas is here. FirstDown PlayBook & FlagFootball Source will be in attendance, will you?? 💪🏈

has anyone used Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini to create *legit* schematics for a PCB?

I'm not an EE so I can't tell if they actually make sense.

they look convincing though

[Mark Doyle @markdoylecto]

When the flag is pulled, we'll get lights and sounds - on all players. We'll have wireless signal, so flag pull indications can be sent to cochlear implants or headphones. We'll have telemetry, so we can see where players are lined up, where they break on their routes, and how fast they're running - real-time.

Interested? Follow @fastastech to see the journey.

Last year, I started @fastastech.

With the patent-pending FASTAssist flag system, I want to advance the game of flag football.

[Mark Doyle @markdoylecto]

This is interesting. Reminds me of how carriers used to cache static sites in the early days of mobile web, but now for better agentic consumption

[Quentin Feuillade--Montixi @LLMPsychologist]

1/7 I built a browser agent from scratch in Rust this weekend for the @browser_use YC hackathon. The core idea: what if we pre-compiled the web into semantic trees, like how game engines pre-bake shaders? Compress a 200k token webpage into a 50-token tree that any AI agent can navigate instantly.

This morning I watched the @FedEx delivery guy flip an American Standard toilet end-over-end through the yard to our front door. Then looked at me looking at him, ducked his head, and scurried back to the van.

Good job, dumbass.

@sama Codex for Windows? 😂

When you elevate anyone or anything to be God, you will be disappointed

[Michael Seibel @mwseibel]

The problem with public policy in America is the assumption that all problems are solvable. Government is a human institution and human institutions are imperfect. When you make the state into God, you will always be disappointed.

[Mark Doyle @markdoylecto]

@moseskagan It's actually highly encouraged

[Stewart Mandel @slmandel]

Usually officials get criticized for being too protective of the QB.

In this case, they missed 2 late hits on Mendoza that drive, and the second one was clearly targeting.

[Mark Doyle @markdoylecto]

This is exciting! I read this to my daughter and she screamed

[D3football.com @d3football]

At the NCAA convention, Division III's Proposal 15, to add women's flag football as an emerging sport for women and establish playing and practice seasons, etc., passing 447-1. It's happening! #d3fb
