He is certainly one of the most likely to die in office. Just on a purely actuarial basis, I should think.

I was literally touching my penis when my eyes alit on this post.
My first thought was that this was an incredible coincidence, and worthy of remark, but now I’m starting to wonder if maybe I’m subconsciously handling this thing more than I realize.

- Comment on BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired 2 months ago:
I still have mine too, and really for the same reason. It is such a great design, and the aesthetic of a water-smoothed river stone was really cohesive. The Pre was all smooth lines and soft curves. Just gorgeous.
- Comment on BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired 2 months ago:
It was such an innovative Mobile UI for its time, and the physical slide-out keyboard of the Pre, was a really satisfying typing experience. These days, people take for granted that they can dismiss an app by simply “flicking” it up and off the screen on your mobile phone, but that whole visual metaphor and activity came from WebOS. It felt like the first true multi-tasking mobile phone. shucks I miss it.
- Comment on BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired 2 months ago:
Remembering the BlackBerry keyboard leads me to remembering the Palm Pre, which had so much potential. In many ways, still my favorite phone ever. It’s sad to see WebOS reduced to Smart TV shit.

If I infer from context clues, quote dunking is commenting disparagingly to frame the quoted tweet? I left Twitter in like 2011.

We prefer Speed tape. It’s a little stronger but just as ubiquitous.
- Comment on aww man here we goo... 2 months ago:
I’ve worked in commercial aviation for 20+ years. In that time I have flown on hundreds of trips, on aircraft of all sizes, ages and manufacturers. I have visited crash sites mid-cleanup and had the odd sensation of smelling familiar airplane smells perverted by burned Jet-A. I have provided logistical support to families grieving the loss of their loved ones due to the actions of the airline I worked for. In other words, I have spent a lot of time highly aware of how catastrophic a crash can be, but I never felt unsafe flying in all that time because the system itself still felt safe.
Last week my kid flew to Florida, and I have never been so nervous. I almost told them to cancel but that would have freaked them out even more and made me look crazy. But the system doesn’t feel safe now. It is not in safe hands.
- Comment on Apple, Microsoft Joining Google Using Gulf of America in Maps Programs 2 months ago:
Also meaningfully different, unless there is an executive order or it’s anglo-equivalent I’m unaware of. Many languages have a name for other countries that is different than the name those countries give themselves. Shall we use Germany itself as an example? How do you say South Africa in German? Südafrika, not Republic of South Africa, Republiek van Suid-Afrika, or any other the other 11 official languages from that country.
Okay, sure, but that’s just a translation of South and Africa and everyone knows Germans physically cannot resist compound words, so how about France?
It ain’t République française, or even Französische Republik. It’s Frankreich. This stuff generally happens organically and language develops slower than politics, as evidenced by Frankreich. That’s a lot different than this Executive Order. That’s an imperial move.

Is it no different, or is it different in a kind of huge obvious way? Denali is US property. The gulf ain’t.
