  1. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Bought it as a lot to build a modern weekend home, but also to restore the cabin because I like history... Recent purchase / ongoing project
  2. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz The land is rocky mountainside slope with high water table & springs that runoff to a stream, was logged but still has some trees and is regrowing... Has old dry-stacked rock walls half covered by grass & brambles.. mountainside above is undeveloped, home of black bears and hawks
  3. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Sure... Still doing research on the ownership but goes back before the civil war; the foundation is large stacked rocks, the chimney and lean-to wall are built out of rock + clay, with lime plaster finish- no cement. Is useable but not comfy right now, want to restore it
  4. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@ionlazer @PrinceVogel How do they get it wrong and why? This is what I wonder about- it's as if no one cares about what's really going on or making the internet a better place for users 🤔
  5. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic I don't know of any actual crimes, in fact I think they're pretty careful to stay within the letter of poorly written statues... So violating an NDA would put me in the wrong... It's less of an instrumental problem, more an ethics question of whether I *should* be doing anything
  6. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · repostRT @FeWoessner: UAE 🇦🇪 Air Defence interceptions over Abu Dhabi. via @Alsakaniali. @jpg2t785 @jesusfroman https://t.co/OwoPRLmtim
  7. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · repostRT @DistractedAnna: Oh cool, the ID theft prevention company that was the source of the loud and incredibly flimsy story about YUGE amounts…
  8. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel I just.... Maybe I'm overinflating the role of the internet and nbd if governance is private corps haphazard decision making
  9. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel And net neutrality, journalists talk about all the wrong things, almost as if they're trying to mislead and upset people rather than build consensus around potential legislation
  10. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel I guess the heart of it is that there's a lot of personal data floating around... I read privacy advocates' examples and they're like far from what I consider most worrisome, which they don't even mention and I wonder why not?
  11. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel Idk, feel like I've tried to do that before and no one gets what's bothering me... Maybe that means it is nothing 🤷‍♀️
  12. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel Hmmm, tricky part is it's a patchwork of various clients, put them together and it isn't anon, do one at a time and hard to explain that it's the *pattern* that worries me, not clear that any single instance is necessarily wrong
  13. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@harrisonpartch @archillect Ah, yeah, the bot-run aesthetic account... A little empty / cold for my tastes
  14. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@harrisonpartch No, who should I follow?
  15. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · postWorking in tech I've slowly become aware of a lot of little things that make me uneasy... Not whistleblower wrongdoing, more like missing governance or regulation or even public discourse... Ofc it's all covered by NDAs so can't just write a blog about it... What to do?
  16. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · quoteChristian Dorsey? https://x.com/Baddiel/status/1485579724973871105
  17. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · quote😶 https://x.com/Noahpinion/status/1485561826553196544
  18. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@space_colonist @tszzl @andrejwagmi Aww you're one of my fave follows! Ofc I'm a classic schizo-poaster myself, so...
  19. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@growing_daniel 🤔 did your cat get hold of your phone?
  20. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@visakanv I've been thinking if there's an algorithmic way to identify & follow "thoughtful reply guys", and then auto-RT with "followers only" flag set, to move high quality discourse away from the fog of battle in the open thread? Even if I don't make the cut it'd be nice as a reader
  21. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl @chrisgardenuk @eurydicelives @Rididelduol 🤣 I love the profile view plus flurry of likes going well back into the archives, and yet no follow
  22. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@eurydicelives @Rididelduol @tszzl Nah I'm just in a mood because my taxes this year are absurd
  23. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@eurydicelives @Rididelduol @tszzl Sorry will go pout elsewhere
  24. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@Rididelduol @eurydicelives @tszzl I swear we should do a flat tax w all the complexities removed- left wing is convinced rich pay less so this would raise taxes on them as is desired, right wing is convinced rich pay more in tax so this would lower taxes on the rich in accordance w their goals... Win-win?
  25. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@eurydicelives @Rididelduol @tszzl 😬
  26. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@eurydicelives @Rididelduol @tszzl I remember Warren Buffett talking about how youth is a more valuable asset than all his billions.... Perhaps we should tax remaining life expectancy?
  27. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@shauseth Pyrson or personx? 😏
  28. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl @eurydicelives We should implement a Privilege Tax... So yeah, tax the beautiful women while their looks remain, but also tax by race, by gender, by IQ... 😏
  29. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@shauseth Persona 😜
  30. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · postUnable to sleep after working on my tax forms...... Did not realize that AMT would raise my cap gains rate to 27% (+ NIIT = 30.8% + VA = 36.55%) 🤬
  31. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@MegaBasedChad Huh, I thought those sort of ppl were the "spiritual but not religious" types... Public atheism is a commitment to condemnation from religious fam & friends
  32. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@eurydicelives Yes! Had never put into a conscious thought, but so true!
  33. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel @tszzl Lol, I just checked- only had 3 obv spam accounts blocked and just unblocked them
  34. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel @tszzl Ah that's fine then, don't stress about it... Funny though because I left for a break, wasn't kicked out
  35. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel @tszzl Thanks ♥️
  36. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel @tszzl Ahhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣
  37. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl 😅 subtweet?
  38. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@shauseth Or refinement of the echo chambers such that low-aggreableness ppl are seeing fewer tweets that trigger their wrath?
  39. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · repostRT @dorkweeb: @liminal_warmth the internal contradiction of the movie is that the core conflict of "humanity will become extinct (and this…
  40. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@liminal_warmth I watched it and felt like I'm not enough of a film buff to understand what they were doing- imo seemed like SNL skit not a serious movie.
  41. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@edavidds @tszzl @rbt_615 College bf was Nigerian, so I visited years ago... Great experience, learning how other people live and see the world 💕
  42. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@shauseth Must've tuned a filter in the latest code push...?
  43. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@_djpn @orthonormalist Imo it's recursion- some ppl are the base case of actually doing the good works ourselves rather than investing that energy in raising the next gen.
  44. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@Noahpinion @edavidds So roon isn't your anon alt? 😢
  45. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@Noahpinion @edavidds 🤣 thanks, good to know I'm not imagining things this time
  46. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@kphextwin @Noahpinion Sigh we need to supply more visas so they can come to the US and take the place of the gamer incels and imprisoned men
  47. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · quote@Noahpinion @edavidds Sometimes feels like you're roon's feed + 6 hrs https://x.com/tszzl/status/1485349691294322688?t=wp2trXQCVXCkfadDsTJtvg&s=19
  48. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@chaosprime @Aella_Girl 💯 good point. Aella wrote that blog on Frame Control- sometimes feel like she's still letting others set the terms of engagement and arguing within their frame.
  49. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@Aella_Girl (relevance being that some of us here are spoiling for a fight, so that vibe invites contrary responses)
  50. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · repostRT @SteveStuWill: Six years ago, scientists restored a paralyzed man's ability to move his arm – but he still had no sensation in the arm.…
  51. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@Jesper_G_Ostman @Aella_Girl 🤣 so true, poor roko
  52. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@ionlazer Feel like once we're uploaded we can classify NPCs quantitatively by how much they can be compressed
  53. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@Rididelduol @deepfates @Centeroak41 @BenRatkey @gnrtvty @Duderichy @AshtearLucca Imo men have been misled by all the content they consume featuring women in heavy makeup- normal clean-faced woman looks weird to them
  54. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@deepfates @Rididelduol @Centeroak41 @BenRatkey @gnrtvty @Duderichy @AshtearLucca So, normal for a hottie?
  55. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@joodaloop Yeah... I guess I come at this from the animal rights perspective where the specialness of a human soul is used to separate human suffering from that of other animals... If we admit no souls that's tearing down one barrier
  56. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@ionlazer Knowing oneself to be a NPC would be comforting... Not responsible for anything but living on a loop.
  57. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · quoteThis, but for everyone 🙂 https://x.com/twoscooters/status/1485375685250195458
  58. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · repostRT @lexfridman: End of a 10 mile run from earlier today. There are few things I enjoy in life more than a long run along the river, alone w…
  59. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · reply@joodaloop Right about enabling non-devs to implement worthwhile use cases with their tools. Like, the fact that copilot works as well as it does suggests we are making coding harder than it needs to be
  60. Jan 24, 2022Twitter · quoteMixed sentiments- 1) no-coders will be wrong till one day they're right... 2) the skill of accurately defining behavior of a system is irreducibly difficult no matter the tools... 3) better tools just give us devs more leverage to do what we do best? https://x.com/thesephist/status/1485479283778854914
  61. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@TheCaptain_Nemo I nominate @deepfates to make a play for cult leader status at vibecamp
  62. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@shauseth And the factory-roof fire pit... 💕
  63. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz 🤣 do you know the owner?
  64. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Hah fun! 🙂
  65. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Ah makes sense... And easier if your put in and take out are the same landing
  66. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Also, tbh, there's a local outfitter with a pretty cheap season pass, which is a lot simpler for river canoeing
  67. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Where would you canoe? My fam has an aluminum Grumman river canoe- indestructible on rocks in shallow water, but heavy... I guess modern canoes are probably better on lakes
  68. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Oh! Forgot I also have a water rower at home / sometimes row at the gym... Figure I need that movement for pulling invasive plants and moving rocks to build walls
  69. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Yep! Is a bit stressful in FL with all the idiot boaters, but other than that...
  70. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@_djpn Creative work that may outlive you? Connecting with and caring for others (elderly relatives, neighbors, nieces & nephews)? Working on projects to make your community a better place?
  71. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz When I visit family in Florida, can kayak and open water swim in the winter
  72. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Also paddling- love canoeing & kayaking; and hiking all the hilly trails around Harpers Ferry
  73. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Lol, for winter I'm indoors- swimming, climbmill, and treadmill... A bit of yoga... In warmer weather gardening and working on my cabin land
  74. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl @arapirilous Would love to see more scientific research into PT and functional fitness- what's the most effective workout plan for delaying aging? On the neurological side, if we solve Alzheimer's we can save a lot of years of expensive care
  75. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl @arapirilous Big underdiscussed factor is how to max out healthy independent years (when hypothetically could continue to work if there's demand for labor)
  76. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl @arapirilous I feel like this is exaggerated when you consider that children are also dependents and we now have less of them to care for... https://t.co/CYiC7Nh8g7
  77. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Ppl on here like metrics and the great indoors... It is what it is 😜
  78. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@ionlazer @tszzl 😢 feel more like long tail than goddessness...
  79. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@QiaochuYuan @prerationalist Omg this is alarming!
  80. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@clairlemon @RokoMijic This rings true to me- "is it any wonder that if we define the categories of “man” and “woman” using absurdly strict gender roles, most people who buy into those definitions won’t consider themselves men or women anymore?"
  81. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@1EpicPug @mattyglesias Anxious to debtmaxx before midterms
  82. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@TheCaptain_Nemo Lol, this is best-case scenario...
  83. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@SRtwofourfour @deutschbp Lol, can you repeat the answer for all of us who can't see it? 🙏
  84. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@micsolana Ohh, I always thought they were talking about the poverty of the victim... 🤦‍♀️
  85. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · quoteSo true! Do outdoorsy stuff- you'll become fit-enough and far less boring than the gym bros. https://x.com/redoatz/status/1485419672434618377
  86. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@cosine_distance https://t.co/pZ4KHnvW1E
  87. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic (I suppose in part because I've never met a stranger in a bar and gone home with him that night... Not my style, like conversation first)
  88. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic Yeah, I suppose they were bad attempts at a neg, but the guys doing it seemed to think it would cause me to swoon, were confused when I just gave them a repulsed look and walked away. As a woman this phenomenon is the most memorable part of pickup culture.
  89. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@deepfates @_djpn How I imagine fates, except with books instead of gold https://t.co/jXYPftxxJb
  90. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic I've been negged a few times, it's such a bizarre experience that yeah it sticks in your mind.
  91. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@0xstella Definitely depends on location... I have yet to be asked to show my vax card and masks feel more like a courtesy than a hard rule in most places- sometimes see retail employees without masks.
  92. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@deepfates @vgr Most likely by drone, with target selection by Palantir AI.
  93. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@deepfates @vgr Or eat more of the soybeans ourselves rather than via beef?
  94. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl Idk if it's a tragedy if it motivates Chinese to invest much more in robotics, if that motivates US to invest somewhat more ...?
  95. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@Aella_Girl Seriously though, make it 20 mph... everyone drives golf carts in Cape Charles and they're great- quiet, electric so no particulates, far less dangerous to pedestrians. Car-share for occasional highway driving, but otherwise.... https://t.co/Z73cOUgOc4
  96. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · quote@Aella_Girl @rplevy https://x.com/CarFreeDiet/status/1471185863740694539?t=Ap1MlxcW4dA3Q6oDKSAoFg&s=19
  97. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · postIf you're in need of GPUs... https://t.co/vZcr51eSo2
  98. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@DanielleFong @QiaochuYuan +1 for bubble baths with music & dimmed lights, with a big cozy robe to stay warm afterwards
  99. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@prahductguy @tszzl Oh hmmmm, would have to think... Tbh just watch Nollywood movies
  100. Jan 23, 2022Twitter · reply@varunramg @growing_daniel @tszzl US just needs to ramp up immigration and we'll be good
