  1. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@Virtual1nstinct At least 3 what, nannies?
  2. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@Noahpinion Lol, hope "tankies" doesn't become overloaded with the pro-womb-tank contingent, that could get confusing 😜
  3. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@_holyweather (my dad uses the basement fridge for his beer, hot dogs, and frozen fish sticks which would be thrown out from the upstairs fridges)
  4. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@_holyweather Oh, wait, no there's another fridge in the basement of their Virginia house, make that 4.5
  5. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@_holyweather Lol, tbf my parents winter home in FL only has one fridge, so they only own 3.5 in total... Though they've talked of putting a second fridge in the FL garage. TVs are another story though- my mom hangs flat panel TVs in every room & on the porch, even though they barely watch TV
  6. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@AlexGodofsky Thanks to Elon we can now win the satellite war of attrition...
  7. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@AlexGodofsky On the navy, but specifically on arming ships with directed energy weapons that can take out satellites and ICBMs.
  8. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@_holyweather (yes all of this is absurd, yes it is all 100% true)
  9. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@_holyweather My cousins, being more conservative, have deep freezers in their garages where they keep the venison from their hunts
  10. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@_djpn To test yourself just a little, as a treat
  11. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@_holyweather And in my parents house the drinks are in their own glass-fronted bar fridge in the TV room, the better to keep guests from poking through the show or prep fridges
  12. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@kahntra @alt1na1 Boys are named after animals- bear, tiger, leo
  13. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@_holyweather Because we have a second fridge in the pantry where real food prep is done by staff?
  14. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@edmundedgar @QuinnyPig @thegrugq Also gossip
  15. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@QuinnyPig Wallah is far more flexible ♥️
  16. Jan 20, 2022Twitter · reply@space_colonist There are alternatives, so you'd have a scramble to push out updates to use alternatives... And then more specialized hardware might be tougher to fix ... GPS alone isn't accurate enough for apps where exact location matters so they tend to supplement w other location data
  17. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@space_colonist Not collapse, but things would be a little uncozy for awhile
  18. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@deepfates Yes actually, sigh
  19. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · quote@tszzl as our fearless leader I hope you'll stamp out this divisive rhetoric and bring rooncult together again 💕 https://x.com/TheOnion/status/1483227668007038977
  20. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@Aella_Girl Teens raised to get a low wage job in high school / college are the ones who's parents are teaching them personal finance skills?
  21. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · quoteLol but also this is adorable and Vitalik is totally my type 💕 https://x.com/Cokedupoptions/status/1484015832791408640
  22. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl (tfw the Mexican wave continues looping around the stadium *for the entire second half*)

  27. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@vgr DARPA funded ofc https://www.tweaktown.com/news/83023/ai-has-designed-the-first-living-robot-makes-its-own-babies/index.html
  28. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · repostRT @alongthepike: I just keep gazing lovingly at this plan.
  29. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@ionlazer That's the discourse today... When it turns out that the first users are Elon and Jeff we'll be on to the unfairness of womb-billionaires
  30. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @cackenbools Yeah, it's not much, but like hopefully earns me a bit of credit in eyes of future-woke-crowd that at least I wasn't a slaveowner myself
  31. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@Whiskeypunk1 @tszzl Yeah... About that. I could do without an upkilt view of striding colossus each time I cross the Potomac... Washington monument is phallic enough
  32. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @cackenbools 🤷‍♀️ yep, it's a puzzle... I'm a vegan on similar principles wrt other animals, but that doesn't help the factory farmed animals consumed by everyone around me 🙁
  33. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@deepfates In retrospect, that early training may have toughened me up for Twitter discourse? Like, deeply knowing that a certain % of people are just unreasonable due to their own deep-seated issues and it's nothing personal
  34. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @cackenbools 💕💕💕 I'm not laughing, but wish you well
  35. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@doc_ochs @Noahpinion Also frankly I've *enjoyed* my tech consulting career and travel, makes more sense to do before kids than after
  36. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@doc_ochs @Noahpinion Personally my issue is that bipolar makes pregnancy high risk endeavor, and also that I haven't found the right partner and wouldn't want to be rushed to settle because fertility window
  37. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl (basically make the employer gamble that they'll be able to retain employee through being attractive employer, not because visa is tied to employer)
  38. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl to be clear, I want to massively increase immigration, esp get rid of the per-country green card caps, create auto greencard eligibility for STEM graduates, allow employers to pay a high fee for unlimited high skill visas but remove work restriction so employee can chg jobs
  39. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@deepfates I got berated for not having the ESPN channels memorized to change the channel fast enough 🙄 ... Also AC wars- menopausal women thought it was way too hot, skinny ppl thought it was freezing, I was scolded no matter what
  40. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl Does depend- US has far more family-based immigration than other big immigrant countries... Bringing granny over is less clearcut win for US, unless you consider long-term that ability to get visas for relatives would attract highest value immigrants who could go anywhere?
  41. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@deepfates 🤣 growing up working the front desk at my family's tennis club, it's even worse if they're all millionaires who have paid for memberships
  42. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@HephaistosF Wasn't this the premise of Squid Game?

  44. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@sreekotay Actually think this pose is pretty flattering for him- reduces asymmetrical appearance of face
  45. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@HephaistosF Is there any way to have a complete reset- like move to another country or something?
  46. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz @Noahpinion Lol in the LBJ era, liquor flowed freely in the texans' offices
  47. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@Noahpinion Imo what's changed is information environment- media & social media howling any time someone makes a small move towards compromise... We should find a fix that restores smoky backroom illegibility necessary for compromise
  48. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@Noahpinion we lived with filibuster for so long and did well as a country... If the real problem is that politicians have lost the ability to compromise, then allowing the majority to impose their will may result in wild swings of legislation undoing prev senate each time majority changes

  52. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@UlissesPSampaio @money_illusion @robertwiblin Expensive, some level of risk for surrogate, there's legal weirdness / risk around whether it is really your child or theirs, and you're reliant on the surrogate making optimally healthy choices

  55. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@money_illusion @robertwiblin Hey, pregnancy for me would be a high risk situation because of my bipolar (high risk of postpartum suicide)... As it is I'm not gonna have a bio-kid; with a less risky way to gestate I might
  56. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@robertwiblin Womb-tanks, apparently 😏
  57. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@Kakapoian @Aella_Girl It's just a real world social meetup for people who've gotten to know each other on Twitter during the pandemic... Not the same artistic pretension
  58. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@Aella_Girl Have a strong pref for extended 1v1 interaction, assume that's unlikely at big event like Vibecamp. I'm sure it'll be great for extroverts!

  62. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@money_illusion @tszzl Pitying our sad little bids for attention, marveling at follower inequality, guiltily whispering blue-checks actually *are* superior and deserving of the social capital.
  63. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@sreekotay Lmao but I feel a little evil for laughing at ppl who are intellectually challenged
  64. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @vgr Lol, this is like all the telco backbone network engineers I know... Hope they do not become enlightened 🤞
  65. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl Is this what's going on in the big account GC where they're laughing at us lowbies?
  66. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@vgr Or, idk how you are with relationships and soft skills, but projecting emotions & getting better emotional engagement via remote work? Feel like the lack of nonverbal comms and social fluff of in person coffee breaks is contributing to sense of unreality / disengagement
  67. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@vgr Covid WFH + noise of virtual comms = scattered attention / loss of focus... Maybe flow-coaching to challenge clients back into deep single threaded work and tackling the big hard problems rather than just little low hanging tasks?

  72. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@visakanv What tools are you using for moderation? The one comments section I enjoy is http://ARLnow.com which is Disqus; they've turned on a feature to hold all first-time commenters for review- has eliminated drive-by nonsense.
  73. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · quotetwo of my idols 💕 https://x.com/vgcerf/status/1483704917558710273

  79. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@DanielleFong @deepfates @zetalyrae @elonmusk @lexfridman One thing I'd like to see is a taxation system that auto-adjusts according to spending so politicians have to vote for both the spending and the taxes together (with independent fed-like fiscal policy modifier that allows us to run deficits according to economic conditions)
  80. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@DanielleFong @deepfates @zetalyrae @elonmusk @lexfridman Agree with the sentiment, just not sure we've yet identified a legislative process that would tend towards simplicity
  81. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@thesravaka But deserve far greater blame for not building automation fast enough so we don't need 18 yr olds doing menial labor
  82. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@DanielleFong @deepfates @zetalyrae @elonmusk @lexfridman I'm not sure it's a panacea- reauthorization votes that may play out like current debt ceiling drama, or may invite tinkering and additional complexity at each renewal... Sometimes settled status quo is better than meddlesome churn
  83. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@bolekkerous @tszzl @alt1na1 @DinaRadenkovic @GametoGen Yeah quality of life as we age is important... My grandparents in their 90s are still living independently, but starting to become more frail, wish there was a way to keep them healthy indefinitely
  84. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@_djpn @tszzl @alt1na1 We need the biodiversity of entire ecosystems and normal animal behavior. Packing animals too densely causes stress and disease (which then infect humans). I'm hoping vat-meat + more appetizing plant-based foods can reduce acreage needed for our livestock & fields for their feed
  85. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@zetalyrae @tszzl @alt1na1 Adding more ppl to a project doesn't necessarily make it move faster, pronatalist model is an oversimplification. And I don't want to kill off that last 4% of wild mammal biodiversity before we figure out how to pack more humans into a small percent of currently populated land.
  86. Jan 19, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl @alt1na1 I am pro-tank, but also idk that shrinking population is necessarily a bad thing, at least till we've returned some habitat to nature... Currently humans are 34% of mammals and our domesticated animals are another 62%- only 4% of mammals are wild non-humans.

  94. Jan 18, 2022Twitter · quoteYes this! Todo UX would be better with historical view to feel good about what has already been accomplished. https://x.com/mold_time/status/1483647465190477825
  95. Jan 18, 2022Twitter · reply@Grimezsz @micsolana Also, so many chronic conditions don't mix well with pregnancy- for ex bipolar - the usual drugs can cause birth defects and the hormonal shifts tend to trigger episodes.

  99. Jan 18, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl So what's this axis? Schizo vs Autist?
  100. Jan 18, 2022Twitter · reply@digitalgnomead @alt1na1 Removing breastfeeding and physical recovery from giving birth removes the gender bias in newborn care and maternity leave; when you have several children in a row the "mommy track" makes sense- with artificial womb it could be more evenly divided
