I mostly do roleplaying-related things, but I can often pass as knowledgeable. I work for Google as an SRE. My opinions are my own, not those of my employer.

Given the total uncertainty around the ongoing nature of this site, this tweet will start a thread of other places you can find me. I'm not going to quit Twitter as a protest, but I may change my posting habits and site mix. I don't have a plan here, but I like a lot of you...

Goal for today. Choose a mastadon instance for my first intentional mastadon identity. Get set up. Find and follow people. Maybe post something.

I just had the weirdest idea. Running cream cheese through an airbrush-style device to get a thin, even coating of, well, cream cheese. On something. Maybe fresh whole wheat bread. 1/2

Air brushes do a really nice job of creating thin, clingy coats of a fluid evenly applied. Fresh whole wheat is very coarse, so spreading my cheese on it leaves a thick coating with lots of air underneath. A thin, clingy coat would be...odd. 2/2

Is there a name for the sequence of numbers generated by multiplying the growing set of all prime numbers? (I.e. 2*3, 2*3*5, 2*3*5*7, etc...)
It's time for a thread on why Twitter hasn't gone down yet 🧵

This may be as good of an explanation as you can get for a certain demographic. I happen to be in that demographic.

Sometimes I see teams using time picking between the best solution in an emergency when they don’t really need to. Do you have bandwidth to try both? Are they mutually exclusive? Does each solve a different piece of the problem better? Start both. First to finish or both go in.

Good. A few more years where my family will be as safe in PA as anywhere in the US.

Forget the ads, they don't matter. What matters is people who pay to have their voice amplified will come top of feed, top of replies. Paying for this won't stop it. Whichever demographic has more paying players will dominate all conversation. This is a global caste.
Does anybody else think that this feels like extortion?

D&D monster concept: Leper slug. CR0. If a character is contacted by it's slime, it gains the leper slug disease condition. DC20 con to avoid contraction. Effect: -1 CHA damage after every 4 long rests. Leper slug slime is harvested as a contact poison.
