I don't care about the "starter packs." I care about the teams themselves. And the companies. Which I followed or was able to engage with on exTwitter.

I don't care about the people talking about my teams. I wanna see my teams here, period.

Something to do with burritos, I'm sure.

But I also noticed she didn’t change her behavior and she didn’t pay her fare.

So I’m tapping my Watch on the Clipper reader at the @vta.org station at Gish, and this woman walks by and says β€œYou know you don’t have to do that. No one ever checks.”

I look at her and say β€œThat’s not relevant. I believe in paying for the services I use.”

She replied β€œThat’s fair.”

To be fair, supporters of the Tangerine Palpatine are the worst of the worst.

Oh goody, another tech rabbit hole to dive into. Haven’t used WP in years since it had so, so many security issues.

Is Will Campbell going to ever be the Matt Light/Nick Solder for the Patriots, or will they need to draft/sign someone to better protect Drake Maye?

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

Well I haven't run anything, and I've been in Silicon Valley for decades.

Who are you using? I switched from Comcast years ago, at best 100-125Mbps with the 600 Mbps service I paid for, to T-Mobile. I discovered that having a 5G tower nearby and line-of-sight from my window made a HUGE difference. Very happy. Reliable, fast, and I pay less.

You'll understand this even better once you realize that Libertarians are just failed Republicans.

You need to show ID to buy a beer. Why shouldn't you have to carry papers with you at all times to avoid being sent to ICE concentration camps?

Their headquarters were in Palo Alto.

I once considered applying for a job there, but thought better of it.

The reason they ship "an endless buffet of itty-bitty fixes" is because the metric that's tracked is closed Jira tickets. As Joel Spolsky pointed out, whatever metric you choose to track, devs will find a way to game them.

My first thought: next to/under the Search box. But the similarity might cause confusion.

Maybe move that Subscribe block right above the Whatarchives block? That could make it more prominent without being too intrusive.

Apologies for the solutionizing; I like solving content problems.
