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

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

@sabbatical hahaha AHN RUTE

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 😆

@sabbatical that's a perfect name!

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

Happy birthday to my best friend

@sabbatical Oooh thanks for the tip!

Fired: sitting desks

Tired: standing desks

Wired: …whatever you call this type of setup

@progo indeed I do, but I don’t see why we need to have specially-certified people who can type 250 words per minute to transcribe things live, as opposed to transcription happening after the fact

@progo I guess what I really don’t get is why we need to have live transcription of things like court meetings in an era where we can record the audio

@sabbatical this is a great idea! Kind of sad how much of a challenge physical media can be now

How is stenography still a job?

For once, a "Dutch ____" idiom that isn't negative.

"Dutch roll" apparently comes from the way a Dutch skater going down a canal might look.
