@lnxw48a1 the real estate contract here still specifies that the date and time of document reception is the date and time received by fax

@musicman do you have anything to say about the different locations?

My main thoughts about being closer to San Francisco is better weather and closer to the bigger tech scene. But would I limit promotion potential by being so far away from headquarters?

How about in addition to Public/Unlisted/Followers-only/Direct

there could be

Permanent/Expires in 3 months/3 days/3 hours?

And yes I know it can't be enforced. Neither can the other ones, but we still have them.

@lnxw48a1 they're gross but everyone I know loves them

@lnxw48a1 thoughtful piece: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/11/gallagher-congress/575689/

@lnxw48a1 after I realized that even the new PCI Express sound card had the same issues, I realized the problem was my mainboard, but I didn't want to return the PCI Express sound card because I know PCI is basically dead and I would be re-buying the PCI Express card eventually.

And I'm apparently too proud to have a refurbished Dell as my main machine.

Basically, my bonus paid for this. I'll call it a wash.

@lnxw48a1 it's more than a feeling…it's ISO 8601

Is there any software work that doesn't involve data mining unsuspecting people?

@lnxw48a1 and yet, you'd have to travel the world over to find so much stuff. So by that standard, it's a relatively small area ?

L.A. is slammed with record costs for legal payouts

"The places that are booming in size aren't the economic boomtowns — the regions with the greatest prosperity and highest productivity. In theory, we'd expect those metros, like the Bay Area, Boston and New York, to be rapidly expanding, as people move from regions with high unemployment and meager wages to those with high salaries and strong job markets. That we're not seeing such a pattern suggests that something is fundamentally amiss. The magnets aren't working."

@lnxw48a1 George died in 1932 at age 77, so he wasn't exactly around to lead the company to continued profitability. (He shot himself in the heart with a luger, leaving a note: "To my friends / My work is done / Why wait?")

A Kodak employee invented digital photography in 1975, and the DSLR in 1989. Kodak subsisted on patents until they expired in 2007 and filed for bankruptcy in 2012.

The money to found Kodak came from selling buggy whips.

Nothing lasts forever…

@hellojed this is why I don't feel bad about working full time.

It's easy to think, "if I only I didn't have this job, I could spend all day _____ (writing songs or whatever)."

But what actually happens is not serious productivity, in my experience.
