@skinnylatte imo yes

@skinnylatte we can wave as we pass each other :) (I’m leaving London Friday)

@inthehands totally agreed on its value, and its seeming craziness to the modern eye.

The Ink and Switch studio is doing research and writing on kind of the grandchild of this topic:

It’s far from what Smalltalk actually was. But tries to get at some of the same goals, for similar reasons.

@skinnylatte I totally believe it, but I can’t imagine actually doing so. I am so used to cooking at such a lower temperature.

At the least it must take a lot more attention

@skinnylatte @thomasfuchs even worse, people in hot places don’t need to change the temps as much (on average) as people in cold places.

Arizona gets very hot — regularly 110F (35F delta from 75F).

But… my wife is from Bismarck, ND, where it is often 10F (65F delta), and regularly gets to -40F or even -80F.

These take way more energy to manage, obviously. (And if a place got as hot as these are cold… everything would die.)

@skinnylatte sure. I had just never heard anyone before associate those values you mentioned with Arsenal

@skinnylatte interesting.

I am a longtime fan, I did not know there was this kind of anti-arsenal sentiment. I have mostly seen decently behaved people, and it’s always been one of the more inclusive English clubs

@skinnylatte it is super awesome you have gotten to this point. I am very happy for you 🤗

@inthehands @Nonilex 100%

@skinnylatte I’m sorry for all of your suffering in Mexico City. As expected, it is a real struggle for you to find 50 of 100 tacos to suffer though each day 😞

@skinnylatte hopefully my strong “immigration is good, should be way easier, and we should do way more of it” absolves me.

It’s amazing how many clear correlations exist in America’s history that we just refuse to see, not least of which is how beneficial immigration is, especially when it’s a free for all

@skinnylatte @timrichards I used to. But I agree with the article— I often find managing overhead space more stressful than checking now.

Not always. But… often

@skinnylatte that aspect of Thai food is what convinced mei had to learn to eat spicy food (having grown up with zero hot stuff in my life). Spicy tom yum is a godsend. Mild tom yum is just hot water.

@inthehands yeah this was a stunning episode. I regularly think about it

@skinnylatte yeah I traveled to Japan with an aeropress, and once I needed to make four cups for each round (me, cindy, and her parents), its limitations became clear.

@skinnylatte it’s still relatively new, and still varies a lot. When I was running puppet, more people wore blazers than not at any venture event. And I basically had to for a ton of my work.

I never wore shirts with buttons as a kid, much less blazers or suits, so it was a huge shift and I never felt or looked comfortable.

I still think about clothes way more than I’d like as a result.

@inthehands @NNN god I hate to have fresh new green nature inflicted upon me, especially when I am already doing something I love. Too much!

@skinnylatte their durability and function are top notch. But I have never been able to see myself wearing one. I just can’t handle the looks.

Thankfully there are a bunch of other great bag brands these days. I love my 15yo Mission Works bag, for instance. And Peak makes some great bags.

@inthehands (I agree with all this. But the truth has always been that reputation is hugely important in OSS. Anything else has always been more myth than reality, except in extreme or trivial cases.)

@inthehands @wdlindsy right? First Vance kills the pope, now he’s defeated Orban
