Big day for my #running progress. This evening’s run was a personal best mile and 5K time, and my shoes turned 100 miles!

I definitely need an additional d6 and two more d8s.

This is super interesting and not the conclusion I would have expected: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/04/22/716010599/meal-kits-have-smaller-carbon-footprint-than-grocery-shopping-study-says

I mean what nerds would have to disperse for vehemently agreeing about Eurovision while drunk and disorderly loitering outside a Barnes and Noble on a Tuesday night? I’m certainly way cooler than that. Nope, would definitely never find myself in that situation.

So I know I’m really late to this party, but hey Game of Thrones is actually pretty good.

Well, I'm trying out #Diaspora also... If you're on there, you can find me here: https://diaspora.koehn.com/people/831d7d70477c013749cc0242ac180004

Always a great sign when your initiative and turn order combine to make 666. While we’re in the Plain of Night surrounded by Night Demons. Not ominous at all, nope.

Thoughts on women using Snapchat photos with the “cute” filters on as the majority or totality of their #dating profile pics? I find it really annoying, but I suppose it’s the analog to the male “duckface” or the gratuitous gym/workout shot? Anyway, it’s basically a straight up elimination factor at this point.

Does instance (or Pod) seem to matter as much to experience as it does for Mastodon? How did you choose a Pod to make your initial account? They don’t seem to be organized around themes like instances.

How do peeps feel about Diaspora? Specifically, as a platform by itself, and also in conjunction with or in place of mastodon?

Me, picking up friend from Easter Mass: "Sooooo, how's Jeeeesus?"

Her: "Doing gooooood, he's back aliiiiiive now. Says hiiiiiiii...."

So I really enjoy the data from my Camry Hybrid’s energy computer. Interesting finding (though with not enough repeated trials to have error bars and therefore possibly suspect): more than any other factor (such as A/C, Eco Mode, tire pressure, etc) the single most effective way to increase efficiency is to simply slow down. Dropping my freeway cruise speed from 80 to 72 mph buys 5+ mpg. The other stuff helps of course, but smaller effect.

Kind of a shitty run today. I’ve got to remember while getting #RagnarReady that not every time will be better than the last, and sometimes what’s important is to keep grinding and make it to the next opportunity.

@TrailRunner_B Starting the season strong!: https://washingtonspirit.com/2019/04/13/spirit-open-2019-nwsl-season-with-sound-2-0-win-over-sky-blue-fc/ 😄

Suba Aluth Avurudu (Happy Sinhalese New Year) everyone! The sun has now crossed from Meena Rashiya (House of Pisces) to the Mesha Rashiya (House of Aries) in the celestial sphere. (No I don’t believe in astrology, but it’s a cultural marker of note that my family celebrates.) Enjoy and observe spring, renewal, and rebirth in the world.

I don’t know what is real anymore. https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/ned-flanders-metal-band-okilly-dokilly-the-simpsons-819321/

I really really would love to do a book release party for my sequel at next year's RavenCon. I think that is an extremely ambitious schedule though...
