@enkiv2 hehehe. Dated bits and all, It's still good. Story is still solid today.

I might have to check out some of the 1987 series episodes. Thanks for the pointer there.

ugh. home sick today. about the only brain I have is to surf the federated timeline.

I made a flow chart of which Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!

So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.

@salmon_cannon Enjoy! Relax! It's been too long since my first time running a game, so I don't have good advice. But I can tell you it's a hoot!

@Fritillaria2 indeed. When we are in Ocean Shores, the plan is "Shilo Inn, Fourth floor. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em."

So many places that I love are deathtraps when the full-rip 9.0 hits.

@Corvusheart IDK where you are at... but a fave of mine is from these guys...

My Friday consists of winding down from work, and making time for my partner. I might get ambitious and watch something on my laptop.

I think the best lesson you can give to a computer programmer is to let them know that they're not alone in trying to figure this shit out.

Hell, it's a young field and already we've created so many different cultures and languages. Nobody could possibly know all of this all the time.

Be gentle with yourself, computer programmer. The task is hard enough without being hard on yourself.

Postdocs at U of Washington (of which I am one) have been trying to unionize since last fall, against opposition from UW. Yesterday, I participated in a bring-your-laptop "work-in" at the president's office, and today UW said they wouldn't stand in the way any more of a unionization vote. βœŠπŸ˜€

@MightyBigCar a nice pic of a nice locomotive :) they've grown on me as they replaced the F40s.
