- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@SM_Kali1 @robertwiblin Hm, makes me wonder if there are effective "carrots" to encourage staying home- like a positive test gives you a code to get free (reimbursed) priority grocery / pharma deliveries so you stay home?
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@JohnAshcroft15 @QA_NJ @NPR @NoahCRothman I didn't write the article / initiate the topic, but if this is topic of the day, that's my opinion 🤷♀️
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@QA_NJ @JohnAshcroft15 @NPR @NoahCRothman And just the delay in figuring out which of 10 options got the most net positive sentiment... When it's standing between me and happy hour perhaps I'm a little impatient 😜
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@JohnAshcroft15 @QA_NJ @NPR @NoahCRothman It's annoying to go to the little picker inside the picker and find your skin tone for each vote, esp on mobile, much faster to tap +1. Also weird to have votes tallied by skin tone each time, except that half of us tap whatever shows up first so the counts are randomly lopsided.
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@QA_NJ @JohnAshcroft15 @NPR @NoahCRothman Yeah we had this convo once, esp if using thumbs up / down to vote on ideas (like where to go for drinks), the different colors disaggregate the counts which is kinda annoying and weird
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@Alphiloscorp @fakegeekguy @eigenrobot Also tbh I've been offended by lunch convos before, but my instinct is to stick around and argue back and/or make a joke out of the horribleness, not to flinch away from the conversation and demand a safe space... 🤔
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@Alphiloscorp @fakegeekguy @eigenrobot We've had some good little debates so far, but it's been various subsets of people at a time... Imo as the crowd grows it's easier to overhear something without context and get offended.
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@__frye Cheapest gas available or cheapest gas my car takes without check engine light (premium, and even then...)?
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@abettertake @fakegeekguy On second thought, also chose her because we do look pretty similar... So kinda yes, but not really?
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@fakegeekguy @eigenrobot IRL work chose the rainbow-BLM side of the culture war during covid, then hired a lot youngsters... Pre-covid, our lunchroom discussion was full of edgy-humor, political debate, and intentionally provocative hot takes... Wondering if us old-timers will offend the Zoomers🤔
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@fakegeekguy @eigenrobot Ha wow. I've just been thinking along those lines- that we have these subcultures with different norms, seems to go badly when they interact because each tramples on a tenet of public discourse of the other group.
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@abettertake @fakegeekguy Ha no everyone keeps saying that, pfp is an actress on new TV show I've been watching- The Gilded Age... Liked her character but didn't find a screen capture of her in costume so used this instead.
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz @sgodofsk All Kiki no Bouba?
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · quoteAmazon Basics, only better? I should really read the TOS- are they allowed to use / sell your usage metadata for marketing purposes? https://x.com/garybasin/status/1491507957527461888
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@fakegeekguy Poor Carlos... Pfp pouting because there's a dearth of horrible people to attack? 😘 I'm curious- prev time, was it the same group of people, or how did you find your mutuals last time vs this time?
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@Andr3jH If you want to accurately model this you gotta consider communication overhead is not linear?
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@Noahpinion Yes! Feel like this should be a Twitter media warning flag so I can filter out those awful images

- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@robertwiblin Thinking more... If you know it's flu, you maintain a 6+ ft distance and wipe down absolutely everything with antiseptic wipes when you leave, the odds of infection are not that bad because flu transmission is droplets and fomites...
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@NanoHydraulic @robertwiblin Deliberate at least in the sense of having been diagnosed with HIV and then had unprotected sex with unknowing partners.
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@NanoHydraulic @robertwiblin How do you feel about the "deliberately spread HIV" criminal cases?
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@robertwiblin Is the cafe in a hospital? Because imo that's significantly worse- high likelihood of infection spreading to immunocompromised patients.
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · repostRT @logic_denier: eye of saueron https://t.co/ZnpsfRmfEn
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@ahabs_migraines @cauchyfriend @eigenrobot Hm makes sense, I guess..? Idk, NoVA is relatively more YIMBY, and my fam's businesses profit from development so I don't hear that perspective IRL.
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@ahabs_migraines @cauchyfriend @eigenrobot It's a political choice 🤷♀️ you could reduce red tape, build higher, rent out hotels in the meantime.
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@ahabs_migraines @cauchyfriend @eigenrobot "housing" can mean hotel rooms or long term shelters or group homes or apartments... Point is stability and shelter.
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@ahabs_migraines @cauchyfriend @eigenrobot Homeless "housing first" policy just means put them in housing without conditions like work or rehab, and then work the other issues once they're off the street with less stress & chaos.
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@pmarca 💯 ... Sleep when power is out and battery dies?
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@eigenrobot @AlexGodofsky Looking it up I'm sure I've been exposed to the word more than once but didn't register, ig because I've never been interested in weapons or violence... Prob my biggest non-masc trait (other than genetic / physical)
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@eigenrobot @AlexGodofsky Idk, it seemed familiar but clear definition didn't come to mind. Do know katana at least.
- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · reply@AlexGodofsky Only one I didn't know was Bushido, sigh.

- Feb 9, 2022Twitter · repostRT @chefjoseandres: Food trucks are small business like any restaurant….they deserve the right and the support to be successful….
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@logic_denier Omg love this ... Schizo books are amazing
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@fakegeekguy @AlecStapp @sgodofsk 🤷♀️ I'm not too concerned about the alleged purity & holiness of the existing system, and shouldn't accreditation reqs prevent outright greencard-mills? But yeah do ensure this doesn't become a Trump U grift.
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@keenanarmstrong Announcing it seems to imply an ego resurrection, because otherwise why would you be advertising your W for adulation?
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@nullpointered Yeah, you want a good mix of "what if..." and "well, actually..."
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@fakegeekguy @tszzl @cpaik 💕 rooncult is Metaverse-native religion 💕
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl (I'm assuming it's by state, not MSA... Otherwise guilty as charged)
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl Matty alone 😏

- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@cosine_distance 👍 I have a friend who's mildly allergic, doesn't notice it at all if I vacuum thoroughly before he visits
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@vgr I write letters as prompted by PETA now and again... Like campaign for Dunkin Donuts to add a vegan creamer option or Chipotle to remove the pork from the pinto beans... PETA says to emphasize positive practical message and love for the brand. 🤷♀️
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@cosine_distance Cats are much easier / more independent than kittens... You'll probably be pushed to adopt a pair, so they have a playmate... Get a HEPA air filter & good vacuum to keep down the dander (esp for allergic guests)
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz @money_illusion Otoh for the crops that grow well indoors you see startups doing automated greenhouses, even shipping containers... What tech has enabled that? Cheaper sensors etc?
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz @money_illusion And perhaps not optimal to automate it all? In my area there are lots of "pick your own"- flowers, blueberries, apples, pumpkins...
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz @money_illusion Farming is also increasingly a data-driven optimization problem, w drones & sensors & robots that can be given location specific instructions
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz @money_illusion 💯 it's scale... Machines are so much faster... Means we have huge monocrop fields to justify the expense / make best use of the machines

- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Lol, idk about this... Sure it stops the physical interactions, but privacy of WFH enables exhibitionism and adorning your background with inappropriate items, also snooping into target's home and asking inappropriate questions
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@bagder I suspect some of us devs get into coding not by aptitude but by personalities so disagreeable that we're unfit for anything else. Put it out of your mind if you can, you're amazing! 💕
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@money_illusion 🔥🔥🔥 do it! Engineers are the real shape rotators.
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@robinhanson Oh, also, try to solve the opioid gateway- chronic pain... Esp fund non-pharma interventions which don't have the same profit motive for private funding- more effective & accessible physical therapy to correct small problems before they become chronic pain?
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@robinhanson Push community Narcan, X Prize for more effective treatment of addiction, free/cheap home tests for fentanyl concentration?
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@prerationalist @ctjlewis @QiaochuYuan Interesting question- if the median of a normal distro is halfway to Autist, then all the way Normie means exceptional (abnormal) social skills etc?
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@pmarca I like the ambiguous ones- "let's take this offline" can mean either "stop wasting everyone's time blathering about your pipe dream" or "this is too important to allow the larger audience a say".

- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@fakegeekguy Closing in on a million Americans lost to covid... Hard to comprehend the scale or impact.
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@ionlazer Yep! Half the day wasted on standup and sync up and check in and touchpoint... I've literally been booked for 4 hours of meetings and scolded in the fourth for having zero progress since the first.
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@gfodor Yeah we're all temporarily embarrassed near-blue-checks waiting to be discovered by our 100K adoring followers 😘
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@fakegeekguy @TheCaptain_Nemo Lol, so many years ago I barely remember... But assume the MargRev point of view remains a strong subconscious influence
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@gfodor Hard to be a roon*cel* when he showers likes on everyone. Need to give the narrative one more rotation to focus squarely on the source of toxicity- journalists.
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@prerationalist @growing_daniel Definitely- once married you become the prime target for sarcastic comments to friends and family. Ig it works if you're both happy with it? 🤷♀️
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@cwarzel Disappointing that a lighthearted meme was turned into culture wars / assumed bad intent when it leaked beyond TPOT. Makes me wonder what other good conversations are being suppressed by MSM toxicity, and wonder *why* journalists seek out the most negative possible take?
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@pmarca West Virginia- Manchin sounds open to nuclear, no reason you couldn't place one next to a ski slope.
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@vers_laLune Also, empty square footage is a form of conspicuous consumption... Working on a quilt with this theme- "whitespace"
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@vers_laLune Imo amount of crap in your home is a question of wealth and risk tolerance- if you don't have much of either it makes sense to stockpile when things come cheap / free and not be too quick to throw away things of possible future use.
- Feb 8, 2022Twitter · reply@ModeledBehavior Yeah ideally you'd have a few competing delivery platforms all selling all of the content a la carte.
