@SongVsSongPod after hearing what @ShadowTodd and @AlinaIsYou liked about Happy Together in episode 127 I had only one thought: The Turtles II: The Secret of the Oohs

@hankgreen I'm left-handed and when you asked which way the mouse cursor tilts, I guessed wrong. But the tilt to the left doesn't bother me, it makes sense, because I still use a mouse with my right hand, which feels natural since I've always done it that way. #engelbarttilt

TODAY is #BostonMarathonGivingDay. The runners who raise the most money for their charities on this one day will get HUGE additional donations. I'd really appreciate your donations today. It really helps the Youth Advocacy Foundation whom I'm supporting. https://t.co/yINIKklxdH

I made a video supporting the Youth Advocacy Foundation (my marathon charity) in the Project for Awesome fundraiser. Videos that get the most votes get a share of the money raised. Help me out by going to https://t.co/QszGjvgwNO and clicking "Vote". No sign up needed.

@TiVoSupport I like to stream my recording to my laptop using TiVo Online, but I just learned that it will stop working in Chrome 92 (July 2021). Are your engineers aware of this and working on a fix? https://t.co/wKWY6SwHRB

@JoCoCruise Many have already said Unfamiliar Moon by Vance Gilbert, so I'll add a deep cut. When Paul and Storm performed The Auld Triangle by Brendan Behan.

@androidqueen I'm not on twitter much anymore, but I've been doing AoC the last 3 years and I'll be doing it again.

@bakemaster This. Why I hate the new algorithmic feed and auto refresh. I miss the old days of it telling me how many new tweets and having to click to show them and it putting a bold line to show where new tweets ends.

@LamplighterBrew @shybird @formaggio For the virtual cheese night, if there are 2+ people in a household that want to do it, is one order enough? The quantities of cheese are not listed. Might be good to mention the number of people that could share.

@catherinehavasi I was at the car dealership today, and they had an ad for an in-car entertainment system with the tag-line "stop screaming start streaming"

Can you believe the way Timothy Shea, the interim US attorney for DC, is interfering the Roger Stone and Michael Flynn cases? His handling of the Flynn/Stone cases violates the bedrock principles this nation was founded on.

@androidqueen Harder to come up with than I'd like and don't know if it counts. But when I started at Google, the senior engineer on the team taught me how to use our custom platform and a bunch of tools I hadn't used before, and I don't think my first project would have worked without her.

i just realized that "cell phone" and "self own" sound the same

[Ben Buchwald @sparkyb6]

@MsMinotaur In particular, the way she spoke about making the main character Southern because she realized she'd never heard a woman who sounded like her sound smart was really moving and now I think I didn't truly experience the book if I wasn't imaging the right accent.

[Ben Buchwald @sparkyb6]

@MsMinotaur I recommend The Calculating Stars (and its sequel and soon to be sequels). I only read it in print, but I've heard a reading by the author whose other job is audio book narrator and now I really want to go back and hear her read her own book.

@Slapworth @Alasindera @yaysheila Oh, you're right. Both of those were comparing unlike types. I spent most of my time in Python and its been so long since I've worked in a strongly-typed language that I forgot about types having to match to compare.

[Ben Buchwald @sparkyb6]

@Slapworth @Alasindera @yaysheila I'm not normally one to stand up for JavaScript, and I'm not saying it doesn't suck, but that's 2/2 issues that can occur in most languages. Now if you'd complained that you were surprised that "4" == 4 in JavaScript when it probably shouldn't...

@WestWingWeekly I love my new TWWW mug. Thanks for printing the seal on both sides making it ambidextrous for us lefties.
