@DrewCommins nice pay-it-forward gesture!

#FountainPen people...

My wife recently got a new pen case so she said I could offer these to you. I have 3. One dark red 2-pen case from Montbanc, one purple 2-pen case from Taccia and one 24-pen black, no-name case.

All show signs of wear, mostly in the lining. The outside of the cases are in excellent condition.

If you are interested, I will send them free of charge (US addresses only please). First one to send me a DM with their address and choice of case gets them. (1/3)

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.
Saw an ad for a t-shirt with this graphic, and I wonder how many people are old enough to understand why it's funny.

Went to a cocktail bar last night fully intending to order a cocktail.

Bartender: "We don't have a physical menu. You have to check us out on #Instagram to get the cocktail list."

I find them on Instagram only to discover that it's impossible to see their menu there when not logged in.

I. Don't. Have. An. Instagram. Account.

Me: "Yeah, I'll have a small beer, thanks." (at less than quarter of the price of a cocktail)

🙄 FFS businesses, stop getting captured by #Meta. It hurts your business.

Thank you Jesus!

I had a recent conversation about LLMs and impromptu said something that has stuck with me.

Even if we granted that LLMs made you more productive at work...

Why should I care about being more productive? I'm already great at my job. I don't need to be more productive - that gains me nothing.
