There's a whole world out there...

One thing that always pissed me off is this.

$2100 can be said as twenty-one hundred but...

$2000 can't be said as twenty hundred.

English majors... WHY???

First Cinci, then Philly and now Milwaukee.

Watching the Dodgers make short broom work of the Brewers (so far anyway, looks like we're gonna sweep).

Was a rainy day yesterday so we decided to chill and watch a movie.

We watched Perfect Days on #Netflix. Japanese movie that has maybe 20 words the first hour. Seriously a beautiful movie and not many words are needed to tell this story.

Not gonna lie there was a bit of onion cutting going on at a few points in the movie. I kind of want to watch it again just because I enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend it!

Anyone actually enjoying House of Guinness? I'm 4 episodes deep and I think I'll jump ship. I just don't care to watch another episode. #netflix

Oh sweet, now I'm seeing all this #Sora slop in my IG feed. God what have we become?

A pretty cool thing about the Fediverse:

It will still be around in a decade. Even two decades.

Usenet still exists. IRC still exists. Email still exists. When you build platforms on open protocols and standards, it doesn't actually matter what corporations try and do to enshittify it. So long as there are people who are still willing to run instances, and users who still want to talk to one another without going through some corporation's platform, it'll still be here.

I've seen the news of a successful treatment of Huntington's described as "a miracle" and it really, really annoys me to see the work of years described as "a miracle". It's not a miracle. People busted their ass for ages, possibly overworked, possibly underpaid. Undergrads and grads toiled in labs at unholy hours on weekends. It's not a miracle. I don't even want to say "It's science" because it's not about the scientific method (ok, it is in this case, but), it's about the very hard work.

I feel like I've only been honking to throw shade lately but I've got some more shade to throw...

Anyone up on Black Rabbit yet? I watched 3 episodes so far and it's pretty meh. I had such high hopes, though not sure why.

Had to do this ID verification thing for Stripe now (twice) and it involves taking 3 selfies to verify my face matches that of my ID.

The selfies confirm. I'm old and ugly. Thanks for that #Stripe.

I heard a recent podcast where a developer was saying that AI apps today are like web apps from 10 years ago (yes, 2015), where you had to learn to not mix customers data or leak customers data. He claimed it was a new concept in 2015. And this is the state of the average developer today.

This new Stripe workbench environment is way slower than the old system. Kind of annoying honestly.

I should have read past the first few paragraphs before I got to honking. Later in the piece...

He managed to secure a job working for a different nonprofit, Aproquen, which provides health care for burn victims. Aproquen was founded and run by Vivian Pellas, a burn victim herself whose husband, Carlos, happened to be Nicaragua’s first billionaire.

Pietras was vague about how he had made his fortune. He told Andrew he’d earned his M.B.A. from NYU and once worked for a billionaire in Nicaragua.

Billionaire in Nicaragua?? First sign this story is going in the way of a scam artist...

There MAY be one here in Nicaragua, Carlos Pellas, but I doubt he's at that level.
