#reintroduction : I use this site wrong. I mostly use Twidere on Android, which hides CW pretty deep, so I sometimes forget. I generally read everything in my feed, in order, but am often up-to three days behind. I may inexplicably boost or reply to something you've forgotten about, and I'm sorry.

As an #introduction, I live in the Bronx, and I manage some programmers in the financial data space. I'm married to a YA librarian with NY Public Libraries. I read a lot of books, some of them are not out yet. I have wide interests and lots of hobbies. If I'm following you, I probably noticed you talk about something I thought was interesting.

No, I didn't block you because I disagree with your point of view, I blocked you because it mentions that person that should have already gone to the bin of obscurity.

Oh my gods, the leftist Whataboutism I'm seeing to defend every complaint about Biden is driving me insane. Yes, there are other bad things the last president did, but aren't we supposed to push our representatives to more closely represent us? It's the worst defence.

HENRI rains have started at my home.

Back in 1998, I was the administrative owner of one of the most powerful machines on the market. Sun Enterprise 10000 "Starfire". This was impressive on my resume back then.

I've recently come to realize that a Raspberry Pi 4 running Docker is FAR more powerful than that was in every way.

The rolling coal of the restaurant world: cellophane wrapped plastic straws

WHELP, I officially have the "dreaded" CoViD vaccination passport from the state of New York. Painless processes that makes it obvious that the state was tracking this info anyway so I didn't actually give up anything new.

Discord connection issues in US East and I'm mostly disconnected with my circle of friends.

How is it that I didn't find out that Katy Perry had an album out called Smile until last weekend?

She's one of those artists that has been consistently good enough that I buy the CD without knowing any songs.

In three short years, the children's book by Mercer Mayer, One Monster After Another well turn 50 years old. I've loved this book my whole life, and so few have heard of it.

Oh, it's not safe in store, but surely is better in your home...?

Car travel, Yesterday: I found a "Beef Jerky Outlet Store" and I'm still traumatized that such a thing exists.

The PPI package is awe inspiring. I feel downright evil now.

Motherboards and BIOS prohibits such things, but it occurs to me that most new CPUs have more cache in them than my whole system did when I first ran Doom, Doom ][ and even the original Descent games.

Does anybody who follows me here do this? I might want to talk about exchanging some cash to get something created. ( I don't want to get overwhelmed though.)

Phone apps that do not respect mute. ... I don't know whether to blame the phone or the app, but /some/ apps respect mute. Sigh.
