If you self-identify as a "celebrity nutritionist", you've just obviated all credibility.

@Blue_Robin65 @EricIdle @PanCAN It has so far cost me one of my oldest and dearest friends, my brother whose guardian I was, and my wonderful wife. Seriously, fuck all cancer but fuck pancreatic cancer to death.

It’s not like “having existed” doesn’t matter since time is the ultimate filter, but when your first supporting premise is “something, something <X> years” your argument is…wrong-footed.

When you don't quite recognize a song, but "you know you know it" because it's either a down-tempo acoustic mix or an up-tempo dance mix. In this instance, an acoustic version of Spin Doctors "Two Princes". Nice.

The “For you” tab is NOT for you. It is against you. It is content you didn’t choose, selected to appeal to your base instincts, to optimize engagement metrics. Follow the people you choose to follow.

Summer camps for kids are expensive and hard to get into.. and if you are a friend (in Colorado for starters) and can't afford it please, please, please let me know and I'll gladly treat. Everyone wins. Sponsored a ninja camp and a soccer camp today.

Wondering why Zephyr doesn't use jettison-able hydrogen balloons to boost into the stratosphere. It would seem to simplify ascent through the troposphere by obviating lift concerns during weather turbulence.

As a kid, the magic of software was that I could sit down and make something with no license, degree, or ~money. Gotta say, publishing an iOS app from scratch today is a verrry diff vibe. I wonder how many young people's ideas we've lost at "and now register for a DUNs number."

Merely consuming JSON and emitting JSON is (even with schema validation) NOT a proper API. Please only do this for low duty-cycle “bridging” interfaces.
