Nerd, geek, long haired freak. Works in Meta's Reality Labs. Thinks too much... These posts are mine and mine alone.
Overheard near one of the many dice booths.
"I might need to buy something for my boss. His wife really likes..."
Wow, I get fear of being sued, but I don't see this adding any legal protection. What happened that they decided to add "beverage may be hot" to a shopping cart?
I just bought some UV protection sleeves. On the packaging it says "Avoid excessive heat or direct sunlight."
Overhead on my run this morning "I don't want to hear a 45 year old man using teen slang" 🤣
Kind sad that there was no reference to No Children or This Year... #BGGCon #TheMountainGoats

This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

Well, I think that just kicked me off Twitter completely. I had some lists I was using to try to keep down the noise. But apparently Twitter started added Tweets to that feed that I am not following nor on that list. 😒
Happy Pi Day!!
OK, here's the deal. This person is selling this batch of 251 issues of Computer Shopper for $3000, firm. $13/issue is a good price (even if some are rough). If we raise $3000, I will buy it and scan them all. (The CS issues will need to be split.) Venmo is @textfiles - Paypal is [email protected], will also be willing to discuss other methods of getting me cash for it. If this falls apart, I will refund everyone. $3000 is firm (I asked). Go for it if you want this to happen.
