@freeschool since posting that I've ended up on the original proposal for the "nerd" emoji and I'll have to revise my original comments

@ZachWeinersmith As a practicing member of the Christian faith, I agree with you. If basic Christian doctrine is anti-semetic, then that's a terrifying standard (and maybe waters down how bad actual anti-semites have been)

Planed obselecense is a thing, sure, but my daily driver keyboard is 20 years old and, aside from missing two function keys, is working just fine

If you're a fan of space and science and history, today's a good day to watch "Hidden Figures".

The movie can get a bit preachy at times, but quite frankly, after what those women went though, they deserve to preach a bit.

@LouisIngenthron hmm, I definintely say thresh-old now that I think about it

@sabbatical To be fair, I have not done many double-blind drink comparisons to see if I preferred the alcoholic version

@sabbatical I… just learned fruit cakes traditionally have rum in them!

@volkris Haha I suppose that's true! I drink beer for the taste, so things like fruity drinks with a shot of vodka just don't really make sense

I don’t get the point of mixed alcoholic drinks that are tasty without the addition of alcohol

Considering "up" means nothing in space, you'd think NASA's logo would be less ambiguiously orentied—or should I say VSVN's logo?

@sabbatical Oh, I don't judge people (or at least I try not to) for using it… it was just an observation haha

@Meachamus_Prime You make a very good point. Needed some paper to start a fire anyway 😆

My "technology" abilities seem to have always "wowed" my parents but the current thing that seems to impress them the most is my use of Shortcuts on iOS.

Recent example: I have one that checks the weather at noon and tells me if conditions are favourable for a little lunch-hour bike ride.

The classic trope of…

1. Person keeps a physical journal of their deepest personal thoughts
2. Person has problem
3. Person's loved one finds the journal, learns what's going on, and helps to bring about a stronger relationship

…makes me want to start a journal

@sabbatical Oooh thanks for the tip!

Fired: sitting desks

Tired: standing desks

Wired: …whatever you call this type of setup
