R. Scott

Who’s “we”, Kemo-Sabe?

Again?
Looks like he did a keynote in 2023.

So are we going to start seeing people slapping stickers of Trump saying, “I did that!” on gas pumps, or nah?

What’s weird is that I have a full head of dark hair but when I get a haircut the hair on the floor is nearly all white.

Hitting refresh to find out if we’re at war yet or not.

I’ve just been fiddling with Typhoon’s knob’s and sliders with only the vaguest idea what they do and it still sounds great.

A 68HP X 6U Eurorack case filled with modules, in particular the CCTV Rings, Michigan Synthworks Typhoon, and the Befaco Muxlicer and Oneroi.

Today on Scott’s modular journey, I finally tried the whole Rings-into-Clouds thing (or rather, Rings clone into expanded Clouds variant, Typhoon) after receiving Typhoon from the fine folks at Detroit Modular earlier today, and yeah, I think I get why it’s a (very good) cliche.

Cool, and then once they get repaid they’ll repay me the tariffs they invoiced me for, right?

Right?

Anyone who doesn’t say durian is wrong or hasn’t tried (or smelt) it.

I live just a few miles from the cyber truck spawn point in Austin and see them all the time. It was refreshing when I visited Detroit and Ann Arbor last year and didn’t see any all week.

Until they start cc’ing my manager I don’t think they’re serious

I’m also on team, “I’ll get to it after my third or fourth warning,” and I especially love taking my annual workspace violence training even though I’m a fully remote employee.

Well, you were supposed to laugh at Wile E Coyote and Scrooge McDuck, not wish for them to be [REDACTED], so they had to have some sympathetic qualities.

Why is VSCode sure a huge PITA to work with? Am I just too used to other IDEs to get it or is it actually not very good?

I’m guessing that calorie counters and fitness trackers are disproportionately represented in the world of vibe coded apps.

I hear all about coding challenge to weed out unqualified candidates when asking them to resolve a git merge conflict or explain the difference between fetch and pull would work just as well.

A small Eurorack case (Stormnest, By Rides in the Storm) on a wooden table in a coffee shop. A wall covered with fake plants on the right; a paper coffee cup on the left.

I may have finally done the Austin thing and gone full hipster

I confused by the logic that decided they couldn’t assign both biblical names to twins.

Robert H Jackson. US Supreme Court Justice and Chief US Prosecutor at Nuremberg.

And totally off topic, but have you ever noticed how many of his songs mention food, eating, dieting, etc?

Lola, Out of the Wardrobe, and David Watts* are evidence that his brand of conservatism is markedly different from today’s interpretation.

*the story behind more so than the lyrics

This bridge was a case study for a Systems Engineering class I took a couple years back

Let me guess, the owner of the old bridge, which is going to lose a lot of revenue to this, is a Trump doner.

“No one ever said that ALL li”

Nananana whatever.

It’s like how all life eventually evolves into crabs but for newscasters

What determines if a uni job is tenure track or not? Likelihood of publishing journal articles and securing grant money?

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

There are probably at least 5% who deliberately f*** with the poll takers just to screw up the results.

You can dress for the cold. But the sunlight, that’s hard to replace.

There’s a reason why my congressional district, which carves out a slice of Austin and is barely a mile wide where I live, includes all of College Station.
