@georgehotelling @arborwiki_changes This is an unexpectedly timely intersection of my interests 😀

Yeah, "move fast and break things" is a tenet of our industry that I really wish would die. But, I'm unclear how to kill it.
The market & investors reward the folks who get out there first & early and externalize as much risk & cost as possible to everyone but themselves. There's little profit & hype in holding back until you get it right.
(Well, I guess Apple can kind of get away with that for gadgets, but that's a different story)
@wntn don't put your own head in the machine
re: PH~
@thegibson Lots of sympathy for ya, for whatever it's worth. I had 6-8 weeks of surprising aches & pains & bruises after a bicycle encounter with a car where I went flying over the handlebars.
Like... wait, I thought that was a bone but it's a muscle? And it's weirdly unhappy when I blink?
@rodbegbie now that's thinking with portals!
Some days, I miss scroll bars.
@pamelafox @timbray Personally, I've come to really like cast iron for eggs
@thomasfuchs Not sure what OS that is, but yeah the option is usually available somewhere. Sometimes not. I mostly surrender to the default on my different devices
@thomasfuchs Most of the time (including on mobile) I don't even want to grab the scroll handle, I just want an at-a-glance idea of how much content is left on a page without having to futz with it
Feeling a bit beset by allergies today, so it's a good day for How It's Made on shuffle on Plex and doing very little otherwise
@pamelafox I haven't tried coconut oil, but have used a little olive oil or butter before.
I'd always make a total mess of eggs on our steel pans, but I think the seasoning and slight texture on the cast iron make eggs easier for me
Anyone else remember "Lazy Jones" on the C64?
I forgot about it for years, then saw someone play it on YouTube. Suddenly fell into a nostalgia vortex remembering how obsessed I was with this game when I was 9 years old.
It's like a weird ancestor to WarioWare from 1984, chock full of mini-games hidden away in hotel rooms with a soundtrack of tiny covers of 80s pop songs
Also, I remember feeling like I was getting away with something at the time, drinking cocktails in a bar in a video game
@marcus It's weird, too, like clearly has some speccy color artifact aspects on a C64, but they look intentional
@andybaio I just got this rewritten code inspired by that bookmarklet to work, fwiw

Here's a dumb trick, if you want to wean off Substack email subscriptions without entirely missing out on the content.
Go to your profile page, open the JS console, paste this code in and hit return.
If everything goes right, you should get an OPML file downloaded that can be imported into an RSS reader.
And then, when Substack disables RSS feeds, the weaning process will just take care of itself.

If this doesn't work for you, well, it worked for me in Firefox and that was good enough. 🤷♂️
If anyone feels like grabbing that code and turning that into something better, knock yourself out!
re: PH~
@thegibson Sounds about right. Try not to be agreeable or disagreeable for a few weeks
