A dog we saw at the vet, presumably there because he got into The Joker’s Smylex gas supply.

Jokes we tell.

@saramg still better than falling back to an empty string, as my washing machine does. I think “” means “time to run a disinfect cycle”.

@GeePawHill
Limiting myself to having read the book, seen the movie, and loved both:
Inherent Vice
The Princess Bride (and I don’t care if it is cliched)
The Fellowship of the Ring (ditto, and the first film only)
(I would have definitely said “A Room With a View” if you hadn’t included it already)

@saramg I understand! I’ll be around. With the rate of change these days, who knows what new tech will be around to help with this in a couple of months!

@saramg I’m winding down now, but for the past year, my primary hobby has been genealogy. There is some decent (but not great) software. You’ll want something that uses the GEDCOM standard, which is a bit archaic, but has support. I’d have killed for a binder like that. If you are serious about making this a database, happy to share more details.

When people say: "billionaires shouldn't exist" that isn't a call to violence. "Being a billionaire" isn't some inherent property in the way that say, skin color is.

Wealth taxation is a perfectly acceptable way of eliminating all billionaires. That doesn't mean billionaires stop being people, they just stop being billionaires.

@sebastian the token is not as private as the username/password. While we encourage using the token on a secure back end, some app developers ship the token with their apps. While you need an account to get a token, we don’t assume that the token user is the token owner.
