I love the airplane taking off from the car though I'm not quite sure what the point is. Never seen that before!
Also didn't expect this video to be a period piece—I thought it as going to be something new but talking about the old.
I love how basic the explanation is (and needs to be, I guess). It's written like the audience knows nothing. Which makes sense considering 1937.
Last time I read this strip, I didn't know the song. Now I know the song.
10/10 would sing again.
There is a server on my home network called "trucky." I can ssh to it using my common "shit inside my home" credentials, it says it's connected via ethernet but I don't know which switch. It has 500G of disk space, 16GB of RAM, it's a bare bones Debian install, and my home directory just contains a copy of the GitHub cli. I do not know where this is. I cannot locate it.
This is the future I want. I mean less asbestos etc but bring back the dirigible.

I just read a Forbes article offering "eight tips to master the art of small talk" and it was horrid.
#1: use positive self-talk to reduce anxiety.
Yeah that doesn't help.
#2: don't forget there's a reason for small talk.
Yeah duh there's a reason but that doesn't mean it's not inefficient and often useless.
#3: show interest in the other person
#4: ask questions
#5: be verbose
#6: ask verbose questions
Could've just said "adhere to stereotypical politeness guidelines" and covered all four in one point but we needed padding, I guess?
#7: act like extroverts
There we go, finally saying it outright.
#8: do #1
Wow, great article. 10/10. My life has been greatly improved.

@ZachWeinersmith make kids use RSS!!!
@levisan We do! The Phonetic Alphabet is used by radio communicators like pilots for that very reason!
It's also pretty easy to learn, and anyone tends to understand it even if they don't know it themselves!
If you think I'm weird in cyberspace you should find me in meatspace.
