Okay, maybe I have a problem and need an intervention.

Made new earrings out of old Twilio data SIMs.

As one does.

It's official.
MongoDB and I have decided it's time we started seeing other people.

Hit me up if you've got something cool going on: https://linkedin.com/in/pollita

@goatsarah @zoe It puts the words in its eyes or else it gets the JK Rowling again?

@goatsarah @zoe So... critique on societal expectations of conformity to an artificial and unequally applied psuedo-standard?

@goatsarah Have not. Not sure it looks like my cup either. You're recommending?

@goatsarah Might need you to narrow that down, but I'mma guess not, else I'd probably get the oblique reference.

@goatsarah Can't need age verification if you don't sell age restricted items.

@goatsarah I never realized (or connected enough to recall) that you and (redacting brother's name for privacy) didn't get on when you were younger. Seemed to agree well enough as adults that one Christmas I was visiting...

@goatsarah Humans? What on Earth do they have to do with checking out? You mean like back in the olden times?

@goatsarah Seriously though. There are stores in the US (one less than a mile from my home) where they've entirely done away with human checkout.

Just one bored security guard to check receipts.

@goatsarah Oh. That is >too< good.

My wife, a Star Wars fan, had airpods for years she called "Now that's what I call pod racing", and when she got new headphones a few months ago, I suggested the name "Jar Jar Beats", which she loved immediately.

She got me new headphones for xmas, and being a Star Trek person myself, I wanted something equally catchy. She suggested "Strange New Beats", which I'll admit is dope, but I'm willing to take suggestions to reach that next level.

Just bought this same glucose meter for the third time. Not because it breaks, all prior versions (probably) still work. The gorram phone keeps changing. Version 1 used the 3.5mm audio jack, Version 2 was Lightning. Now I'm finally on USB-C like a civilized person. It's a really nice little thing to keep in my travel bag for emergencies.

Me: I have an early meeting tomorrow.

My brain: Don't worry, I'll stay awake.

Me: What? No... That's...

Brain: No need to thank me, citizen.

Me: I hate you.

Me last week: Man, I can't believe I've run iut of electrical tape.

Me after a couple hours cleaning up my home office:

@goatsarah But he lived in a lighthouse?

@goatsarah I don't know if "Alf" (TV 1986-1990) made it into your zeitgeist, but the titular character is a masculine identifying alien who eats cats and... well, this...

I think this is what Donald is worrying about.

So I watch the debates, i live in the US where a felon stand 50/50 odds of being elected to the most powerful office in the world, and....

I know what my next DnD character is going to be.

Male Toll Bard. My father was a Warlock who convinced his patron to imbue me with the power to automatically win 40% of all Charisma rolls, but I'm categorically unable to tell the truth.

Ow.
