In 2023 we're going to do a challenge.

There's a new letter every two weeks, starting with A on Jan 1. During that fortnight, we'll play at least one game that starts with that letter.

(Yes, we have all the letters covered in our collection. Digits are spelled out, so 7 Wonders is filed under S.)

Who's with us?

I couldn't find a good reference diagram of the relationships between types, so a while ago I made one.

First known symbolic gesture observed in birds; scientists recorded the Japanese tit using repetitive wing movements to signal "after you" to others.

Today's platelet donation viewing:

Damsel: A solid dragon movie, with the gravitasty Shohreh Aghdashloo as the voice of the dragon. Millie Bobby Brown is imperiled and plucky.

3 Body Problem S1E1: Well-done, but extremely grim. Also, why did they need 16 executive producers?

Note that each has one moment of mass bird death.

Does the film you peel back and replace on a microwave meal affect the cooking process, or is it just a splatter guard?

the middle schooler: then I installed linux on my [school] chromebook

me: um are you allowed to do that?

middle schooler: I asked our tech teacher and he doesn't know what linux is so I decided yes

Up and at 'em, people! These butts aren't going to dial themselves!

The problem with Test-Driven Development is that you have to think about what you want the code to do before you write it. And that ruins the surprise.

If Celine Dion just sang the vowels in her name, she'd be performing Old McDonald's Farm.

Here's an example where, when I click on it to find the context, I don't see the preceding toot, even though one of the people mention is a mutual follower with me.

I'm having a problem lately where, when I see a reply in my Home feed, then click on it to see the context, the thread sometimes doesn't include any previous messages. This is intermittent, but it includes cases where I am following the original poster.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

whats a side channel attack?

well, there was once a man who owned 43 Domino restaurants. he could predictably tell you when the next classified government operation was going to take place, and aboutish where, based on the surge of scheduled pizza orders for government locations

#GunVolence🔫 DECREASED, this program worked, funds were allocated to a community-based violence intervention to mediate conflict. LE didn't need additional funding -it's likely why it's not well known *saved lives & money in the LT.

Richmond, homicides:
2007: 47
2023: 8

Implemented Advance Peace in 2007, a program that treats urban gun violence as a PH crisis.

For every$ spent on the program -public received $47-$123 in return in Stockton & $18-$41 in Sacramento.

Does anyone know by any chance?

I tried my hand at the recognition problem and had some insight as to how to trivially solve it, as well as generate all knots. But being such an old and hard problem im skeptical if i might be missing something.

Who would know how to make a guess at the answer to this question: is internet traffic pretty much equal numbers of 1s and 0s, or is there noticeably more of one than the other?
