Also, me this week:

@goatsarah Ow. Pass the aloe...

@ajlanes @goatsarah A short one. Out kayaking, mistimed the tides, wound up having to trudge through thick waist deep mud for 50 meters or so at the end. Coated in mud, but able to jump in a creek to rinse off. Just your average type 2 fun.

@ajlanes @goatsarah She can tell you. @thelocalecho was there, though ISTR she chose a better route than @zoe or I did.

@zoe @goatsarah @thelocalecho Ahem. Type. Two. Fun.

It's one of my favorite near-death experiences with you lot.

@ajlanes Yes, there are other near-death stories.

And they laughed when I joked about being left for dead in the desert...

@goatsarah Oh sure, when all goes to plan I'm sure it's fine, it's more the "in duress" part of your reply I was looking for and... yeah, sounds like about what I'd end up doing.

Could you imagine mistiming the tides though? One minute you're up to your keel in mud, the next you're trudging through it, waist deep, clawing towards the shore... how could that even happen? ;)

@goatsarah At 5kts, I'd doubt my engine's ability to get me home on its own. Did you ever have to sail+ motor up then drift down to your anchor bouy?

@goatsarah Most of my sailing is on Lake Michigan which, while a great lake, is still just a lake.

First time I dropped into the Florida current I had a real eye opener. Absolutely took off with me.

@goatsarah Oh! Nice. Same city? Or elsewhere? Nevermind, just remembered I can totes stalk you...

@goatsarah In PT? How many even is that now?

@womump @ajlanes @zoe @goatsarah Ooooh, you two are among today's lucky 10,000.

"The Orville" (2017-2022) is Seth MacFarlane's personal, non-canon love letter to Star Trek. Being a MacFarlane production it starts out with more low-humor than you'd associate with Star Trek, but by the second season it becomes a real spiritual sibling of the franchise, particularly TNG. It's every bit as "Trek" as "Galaxy Quest (1999)", but in TV series form.

@goatsarah Keep an eye out. It's super non-subtle, but it's good Trek.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds is delivering HARD on the Star Trek this week.

For those of you who aren't seeing it, allow me to translate: LEGISLATING BIGOTRY IS BAD.

Looking at you Florida and others.

@goatsarah Tell us what you really think.

Related to my prior shitpost, i actually am looking for a new USB-C docking station for my M2 MBP. Minimum 4 breakout USB ports. One must be A, others can be A or C.
Should support two displays, one of those can be shit rez/refresh (it'll just be background youtube). PD required.
SD reader, Gigabit network are nice to haves.
Must not require drivers.

Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:

Pros:
* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.

Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.

Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.

Oh good. The human trafficking governor of Florida has officially entered the 2024 presidential reality competition and he's.... polling second in the GOP race behind... the rapist.

Republicans, you have some soul searching to do. You need to find Jesus.

Having grown up around SF and recently lived in NYC, I can confirm the accuracy of this map.

Mother fucking bitch ass bitch texts me a fucking VIDEO asking me to take out a loan with him. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

@heiglandreas I mean, if we're gonna count emulation, I'm sure my watch could emulate an Apple ][e just fine. :p
