@AgreeableLandscape @cstross a A few months ago I went to a bank to get a cashier’s check. They texted a 2-factor authentication to my phone. While they were holding my photo ID and I was standing in front of them. “It’s just…quicker.”

@Uilebheist @cstross And that’s why your smart lightbulb is running a full `mongodb` instance. Except that the instance is 4 versions behind and there’s no upgrade path.

The good news is that if you have 3 or more lightbulbs, they actually run as a complete Mongo cluster (*), with eventual consistency guaranteed. You may observe some flickering while data changes propagate.

(*) If all 3 are turned on at the same time. If any are turned off, your home network fills up with warning messages.

@cbarbermd I would not say metformin has no side effects. When I started taking it, I interpreted the instruction to “take with a meal” as “swallow the pill while dinner finishes cooking, then eat.” I woke up 6 hours later with diarrhea and excruciating cramps. Finally realized that when I forgot and took the pills after dinner I could sleep through the night. After several years, I seemed to develop more tolerance and could take the pills on an empty stomach…

A friend just texted asking to borrow a black mask to cover her white N95 for a funeral. (I were black KN95s, so she knew I had something black.)

I made her a sampler pack of 2 styles of KN95, some black paper masks, and a black fabric mask with a corporate logo on one side, given away at work when masking was required on site.

@torvalds So the US Pi day is actually commemorating Linux 1.0?

Sort of like Christmas being slapped on top of Saturnalia.

We are planning a small bachelorette party Friday, in a private home,because the guest of honor is immunocompromised.
I was the nerd who said “we’re all testing on Friday, right? I have extra tests if anyone needs one.”

We’re all testing.
Because the bride is an extrovert, but she’s immunocompromised.

I thought I was having a bad day having to schedule euthanasia for a pet. When we got to the vet, we were one od 3 euthanasias scheduled at 2:30. I wonder if Mondays are always like that at vet offices that close on Sundays?
