@lzg oh hi. Welcome to getting old. We should go to meetings but that sounds like soooo much work

Why is it you can only find out if you have jury duty by checking at 6pm the day before.

Justice is blind (hahahah bullshit) and also very inconsiderate too it seems.

Now I have to remember how to dress like a human.

Yay. Called in!

It better be sexy. I’m hoping for maybe piracy. Or jewel smuggling. Or kidnapping at least.

@RebeccaSlatkin wait is it still 2021?

Dude is still here. Been hanging out there for a good 20 minutes

Visitor.

My cornish pasty reviews:

* some place in San Luis Obespo that has since closed down: avocados are delicious but do not belong in a Cornish pasty

* that place by the pier in Seattle. Terrible. Confused empanadas.

* that pasty shop in Port Townsend, WA. Better than no pasty but far from authentic.

* cornish pasty shop in Flagstaff AZ, and reheated the next day, and eaten in a dusty highway rest area in mojave: amazing. Best Cornish pasties in the US

I’ve found a reason to see more of AZ

@skinnylatte French, German, Italian, Polish, Swedish speaking too alas…

I can't imagine how anyone in Ukraine is feeling right now.

@inthehands @harshil @steve @jrose @markmalstrom it has table and grid. You weren’t even trying.

@kangaroo5383 Livers grow back.

It seems clear that maybe people just don’t like Trump.

@inthehands will that fix the plot-holes, blatant disregard for all the lore, terrible costumes, and over the top CGI amongst other things?

Jesus christ Rings of Power S2 is shite.

I hate watched S1. Now it seems I have to do it for S2 too.

Got my van showings this weekend. But I’m home alone and the van is in its storage unit.

But this worked.

Those “what's new in ____" app splash screens that Apple now uses.

It would be great if they were accessible from the help menu…

We took online first aid classes with the red cross.

Both for humans and for pets :-)

If you've never taken first aid classes before, these online classes are very useful and very affordable (we only paid for one class that we did together).

It's a bit “corporate training" like - but unlike the stuff HR forces you to do - it's actually a useful topic.

@mmasnick Oh dear ;-)

Wrote an example for Compute that runs Conway's Game of Life and encodes it to video…

Here’s the Swift code: https://github.com/schwa/Compute/blob/main/Sources/Examples/GameOfLife.swift
And the Metal (not optimised): https://github.com/schwa/Compute/blob/main/Sources/Examples/GameOfLife.metal

It's able to generate 4K frames at several hundred fps. (The H264 encoding is much slower.
