@brettsky@mastodon.technology The final list of modules to be removed looks pretty uncontroversial to me.

Oh wow, the SC accepted the latest version of PEP 594, "Removing the dead batteries from the standard library" a few days ago!

Congratulations @ChristianHeimes@twitter.com and @brettsky@mastodon.technology, and everyone who worked hard on this!

Foods I wish I liked earlier: sushi, spicy food, onions, fake sugar, asparagus, avocado.

Foods I wish I liked more: mango, tomatoes, peppers, chocolate, less-sweet versions of food I already like.

What foods that you like now do you wish you had liked earlier in your life?

Are there any foods that you don't like but wish you did?

I doubt I was ever successful at this, and I probably slowly ate gummy bears out of a briefcase for several weeks or months until I had a briefcase.

I'm still kind of sad that I lost the briefcase. I'm glad I have some photographic evidence that this caper occurred.

Back when I was in college trying to be self-consciously weird, I went out and bought a briefcase and filled it with gummy bears.

My plan was to try to make someone curious enough to surreptitiously open the briefcase, only exacerbating their curiosity and driving them mad.

@gadgetbridge Bonus if I can wear it on my ankle or something so it doesn't have to also be a good replacement for my Pebble Time😅

Does anyone have recommendations for the best #fitness / sleep tracker compatible with @gadgetbridge, or even just a decent one?

I'm getting jealous of all the data my wife is getting from her Apple Watch, but I'm not enthusiastic about using some cloud walled-garden service.

We still sent them, of course.

Coincidentally, we also put in a little card for each of the parents with mine and my wife's contact info in case the other parents want to get in touch. 😅

Maybe these delicious cookies my wife & son made will minimize the flood of imputations…

Sent this "scratch art" kit out to all the kids at my son's school for Valentine's Day; I think you can tell that we have a bit of a "free range" parenting philosophy from how long it took us to think some might object to us arming a bunch of 3-4 year olds with sharpened sticks…

Laser eye surgery was a qualified success. The eye doctor says my vision is 20/20 already, but I still can't seem to resolve any of the features of the sun when I stare at it.

Maybe a few more hours of staring will help the recovery process?

Giving my glasses a valedictory tour of the house before they shoot me in the eye with a laser tomorrow, presumably changing my prescription.

Who wore it best?

Oh no, my muscles are all feeling sore after my booster shot! Almost like I've been doing a bunch of new exercises in the gym these past few days - oh wait nevermind that's exactly what happened. \*closes VAERS tab\*

This is the true spirit of the web - every article is a gateway to 10 other articles.

"Oh man I've got 40 tabs of stuff to read later open, I should read some so that I can close them."

10 minutes later: "Oh man I have 43 tabs of stuff to read later open!"
