@amy__mcfly Learned today that if you get the artist right the color for the block is yellow!

@amy__mcfly Mine was that the carpet was indoor grass that grew, and the vacuum cut it like a lawn mower.

[Paul Roach @roachmotel3]

@jasmichener @amy__mcfly Well done.

@amy__mcfly This looks like a before and after photo for super soldier serum in an alternate MCU…

[Paul Roach @roachmotel3]

@amy__mcfly @midwestern_ope Assembling the stash and charging up now. Not sure if I feel seen or attacked. 🤣

@jon_moore Seems like they need cheese and stationary too. I’d like to meet that baby. They seem like they’d be interesting.

[Paul Roach @roachmotel3]

We had the Tandy books with pages of basic that we’d copy by hand then save to tape. I remember saving a multi-hundred line long monster called “Timebomb” on a Chaka Khan tape.

@jon_moore Hahaha. I remember writing a lemonade stand program on a TRS80 Color Computer. Saving to the cassette drive was a bonus!!

[Paul Roach @roachmotel3]

@jon_moore The three of us are getting awkward with this. Mine was (also?) a TRS-80 but in a daycare facility. And my code was suspiciously similar, sub the name.

[Paul Roach @roachmotel3]

@IAmGregOtto @jon_moore Man, you even had a cordless phone!!?! 🤣

[Paul Roach @roachmotel3]

@IAmGregOtto @jon_moore BBSes, Prodigy, and CompuServe on a 300 baud modem card in an Apple ][e. The card was probably 18" long with a phone line that was coiled up and put in the case when not in use 🤣

@gigneil @MikeyNeverMike There aren’t enough to matter. Philly county has an estimated total of 2100 which is by far the largest number statewide.

@BBilbins @mjcabrerar @LuisvonAhn @duolingo @SenToomey @SenBobCasey @billpeduto Except it is hard. There were ~1.3M devs in 2018 with an expected increase of 21% through 2028 per the Bureau of Labor Stats. There were 3200 graduates in 2017 at a growth rate of 3%. Those don't line up. And when you consider MANY of those graduates are foreign students...

@mjcabrerar @LuisvonAhn @duolingo @SenToomey @SenBobCasey @billpeduto A friend who does hiring for a government contractor who can only hire citizens has had positions opened for over a year. Coding jobs are hard to fill.

Hey @elonmusk it’d be pretty awesome if the onboard charger set the amps dynamically so the car hits my target SOC right when I’m ready to go. Could use the calendar to know when my day ends, or let me set a target departure time in the mobile app.

@LakeAnneEs Unfortunately I was 6 or 7 at the time, and only have a vague recollection!
