  Do you know of Sabertooth’s tradition on Wolverine’s birthday?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Construction magic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I should have known.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great guy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In the show, he was a good doctor and was able to troubleshoot a kidney by hand (eye, actually, IIRC).

  You’re right, though … In real life a good doctor couldn’t and wouldn’t.

  But there has to be a twist!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great guy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve clearly never watched The Good Doctor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great guy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I believed you for the first sentence, then you betrayed me.

  I guess it’s cool that Windows finally has an official package manager.

  Noted, thanks!

  An abyssal panda using pandoc. Who could have seen it coming.

  Markdown is very useful, but I don’t think I’ve ever written enough to earn template files.

  My brother is one of the two smartest people I know and knows a lot of things I didn’t know I didn’t know. He’s earned a lot of respect from me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Word.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Last night, I was talking to my brother - who’s a mathematician by trade - and learned the following from him:

  LaTeX is Leslie Lamport’s (hence La) macro package on top of TeX.

  I’ve never used it, but for around fifteen years I’ve been working around people who do … And yet I never knew that.

  Also he created The Bean and hates it when people call it “The Bean.”

  You figured it out?

  That might even be, like, 500 miles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was looking for the word “beehive” and found myself throughout flummoxed. After re-reviewing I understand better. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never heard that association before.

  This looks like an … Interesting show.

  Sadly, a cursory image search does not return a picture of a turkey next to Kraken rum and I have only the latter immediately available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have YOU ever done this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When I moved to my current house, my wife and kid were at our previous house for a while. I deliberately chose this house for its isolation, so for a while the only people I really spoke to were local cashiers every few days. (Side note: my kid was three at the time and had left a toy triceratops on the back of one of the commodes the day we signed for the house. I never thought a toilet would make me miss someone so much.)

  Anyway, I work remotely and had a daily virtual meeting. Most days, that meeting was the first and last time I spoke. I also had some kind of long lived sinus infection going on, so not only did I speak pretty rarely, until I opened my mouth I wasn’t even sure if I’d have a voice that day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨inside joke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My dad grew up in Ohio, so when he was alive we would go there annually for a family reunion and, in the days surrounding the reunion, just kind of wander the surrounding areas.

  My introduction to Magic: The Gathering was stepping into a thrift shop in Akron and discovering the entire (at the time) collection of books in a box for … I don’t remember the exact price, but an eminently affordable cost. I don’t much care for the game, but I definitely enjoyed working my way through the book series.
