@mike asana’s not great, but it’s far from the worst! i speak as someone who has been on teams using everything from wrike to teamwork projects to jira to airtable

4 foot dosa @ rangoli for my sister’s birthday — pretty good!

how communists made unbreakable glass (and perhaps predictably, couldnt sell it in the west because it wasnt disposable enough): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEvBpjCOBu0

@ambihelical @levisan same here! some guy in central europe who is into gaming and online gambling often uses my main gmail as his address. it's even set as the fallback for if he cant get into his google account!

great lake swimmers @ farm league brewing

@levisan yeah, some places are worse than others i'm sure

@levisan yeah, though in reality it could go either way. i take it as a sign i shouldnt be offended if they dont accept my follow, but not that i should avoid even requesting it

@levisan i dunno, i kinda like it when you can see how the local greenery is. ideally you could swap between time of year though, but a lot of places are significantly uglier in winter

@levisan i think a lot of time it's just privacy orientation — someone who wants to feel free to post what they like on the account without mystery strangers following along. (esp if they or someone close to them has been burned by creeps/stalkers before)

@malcolm still find myself defaulting to nvalt if i am trying to make a random note a lot of the time

friends gave us tickets to the blue jays / royals game tonight at the skydome. ultra nosebleed sears (only two rows behind us) but still a surprisingly good view, and probably not as loud since we were above/behind the speaker arrays

so wild to me that *cancelling* the figma merger is gonna cost adobe $1B! https://www.techtarget.com/searchcontentmanagement/news/366564138/Abandoning-Figma-merger-will-cost-Adobe-1-billion#:~:text=It%20will%20still%20cost%20Adobe,payment%20clause%2C%20according%20to%20Adobe.

@levisan before watching, i was wondering how they'd make the series have any cohesiveness or character development since it spans centuries pretty quickly, but they did a decent job with that!

@levisan much of the time, it's just careless and disrespectful to the original. wheel of time series for example i just couldn't take. but the changes i'm noticing with this one seem well thought through mostly — the cloned emperors, robot lady, and cryo sleeps for salvor and gaal for example. clever mechanisms to allow characters/actors to continue through different parts of the story without it seeming forced.

@levisan started listening to foundation on audiobook now and am realizing they really did take a ton of liberties! but for the most part i think they made good choices. seems like they’re making the show a bit more raunchy as it goes on though, which is too bad.

the foundation appleTV series is surprisingly good! loved the books as a kid. it's been a while, so not sure how close it is to the source material, but it feels well-written, well-acted, and it's visually stunning.

@jbwharris i’m seeing widths of 1.65 for a 1995 150 dual cab model and 2m for this larger tricab. current F-150 is just a tad over 2m wide not including mirrors and F-250 is a couple feet wider than that. still a little hard to picture, but seems like these are about 25% narrower than comparable new NA pickups if that helps

@jbwharris oh no, "tri-cab"?? now this is getting ridiculous! though i'm sure it was actually practical for the ski resort that had it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GosQGXm2hE
