@kevinswiber You can't go through life with a smooth buttery exterior--sometimes a little crunch is what you need.

When I get the really good English Muffins I use the technique my dad taught me—poke all the way around with a fork because it achieves a split that toasts better and keeps crunch when butter applied.

@jbminn @washingtonpost I could, but I am lazy, and why else do we have this bullhorn if we can't use it to whine and complain?

Feel like news agencies are going to have a brand and trust issue if they aren't setting up their own domains?

I sit in the car with our dog every Thursday while my wife shops at Whole Foods — it is an interesting place to people watch. Quite a mix of folks in OAK.

Developer platforms are all about trust, and Twitter lost it tcrn.ch/3UZExH8 via @techcrunch

Still thinking about tinkering with a fediverse-flavored social bookmarking thing like ye olde delicious and pinboard. 

@lmorchard please build. ;-)

I am fascinated by people who follow people on here but have never added an image or profile -- seems like the low bar?

@Crell I wouldn't say I detest, but I have never gotten on the bandwagon. It is fascinating to see folks operate in this world and assume it is how everyone believes.

One moment while I change my IP address and user agent.

That changed at 1:03 a.m. on Dec. 5 when 192 giant lasers at the laboratory’s National Ignition Facility blasted a small cylinder about the size of a pencil eraser that contained a frozen nubbin of hydrogen encased in diamond.

This crossed the threshold that laser fusion scientists call ignition, the dividing line where the energy generated by fusion equals the energy of the incoming lasers that start the reaction.
