I thought most people outside of the US already generally didn't like the US and Americans. Bowie wrote a song about it?

I’m always saying this
How to invent MST from first principles:

1. Start with a content-addressed data store i.e. a k/v store where values are immutable data and keys are hashes of the values.

2. Build a mutable k/v store on top of that.

3. Make it have nice sync properties (CRDT w/ structural {unicity, sharing})

finished Du Bois' biography of John Brown. really interesting. I hadn't known that many of the supporters of the free Kansas cause were motivated primarily by "we just don't want Black people around"... much like Oregon, and around the same time, too

I made a simple soup for dinner and it came out so good that my immediate mental reaction was that it must be a different soup than the one I did

Campbell Creek! it was right in our neighborhood so we could walk over and see (and then smell) the salmon spawning each year
My favorite Twitter prompt was "RT this with your home river," so reskeet this with your home river.

they don't want you to know this but the Diaspora Co. chai that's supposed to be made the real way (boiled on the stove with the water and the milk and such) is also solid if you make it the boring old way in a mug
