Have you been connected with @brimwats.com? They’re a fellow Psi U (Delta Nu chapter) who has been doing a bunch of work developing best practices for metadata in archives, research, etc. for faithfully representing trans and gender diverse people. Feels somewhat connected to your linguistics work!

Also worth noting: if I worked as a developer and through a bad call caused the company to lose three orders of magnitude less money than that, I’d be fired immediately. Instead here Zuck gets to keep his job and 1000 people who didn’t have a say in that decision lose their livelihoods.

They “fixed” the problem by moving two of the four from belt 7 to belt 14, not announcing the change until the bags were already dropping, announcing the wrong flights had moved, and only *then* updating the monitors

Maybe he threw the game so he wouldn’t have to face a postgame interview where he’d be asked about breakfast in front of a toaster-trophy that the hosts couldn’t get working properly

If you feel the need to get in a car and drive 5 hours to clear your head, I’m pretty sure we could figure out you joining my family’s Christmas in south GA. It won’t be drama-free, but it’ll be drama you’re not invested in.

Par-cooking fries, then freezing them, then deep frying them is a classic method to make excellent fries. I love it when restaurants buy frozen fries.

And while I’m at it, let me step up on my chimichurri soapbox!
It’s the perfect Thanksgiving sauce. The whole deal is rich and fatty and carby, and it just begs for something bright and herby to go with. Try it! You won’t be able to do Thanksgiving without it again.
