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.

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

@washingtonpost when am I going to get a Mastodon share icon?

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.

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.

Who is going to lobby all the embeddable social sharing solutions to add a Mastodon icon?

Tweeting the obligatory post-covid sans beard photo as I try to work this week cause my co-worker Joyce asked me to.

"When President Richard M. Nixon launched America’s first war on drugs 51 years ago, annual overdose deaths stood at 6,771. The agency continues to count the death toll for 2021 — in a provisional tally seven months ago, it calculated the overall number of drug overdoses at 107,622." https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2022/dea-fentanyl-failure/?itid=hp-top-table-main_p001_f001

I am submitting this post from the Mastodon API for my instance.

I shaved my beard while having covid fever this week. My wife and dog keep staring at me.
