@coffeegeek.com have you been able to try the Breville Oracle Dual Boiler yet? I saw your first look on the Jet.

I've had an Infuser for 10 years and it's been great, but it no longer pulls consistent volumes (despite repeated cleaning & descaling). Cost to fix = cost to replace, so looking...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

This morning, the local police just visited my house. They were doing a wellness check on me because there were reports of suicidal ideation. They claim to have found my Facebook account with pictures of my daughter, so they were concerned for her.

“California, the fourth largest economy on planet Earth, is this summer using 40 percent less natural gas than it did two years ago to generate electricity.

If you wanna know why the fossil fuel industry is freaking out and sponsoring every bad politician on Earth, that's why.”

@mbrozen.bsky.social on the recent Talking Headways podcast, you said something that sounded a lot like my current urbanism thesis:

Every housing problem is a transportation problem, and every transportation problem is a housing problem.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Maybe the goal is to make flying so dangerous that nobody does it, thus eliminating 2.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions.
"Minutes after takeoff Friday, a Southwest flight leaving Burbank, California, descended after two onboard alerts, injuring two flight attendants and frightening passengers, the airline and people on board said."
Passengers rattled, 2 crew injured after Southwest plane descends minutes into flight
A person on the flight said it “dove aggressively” and that people flew out of their seats. The flight landed safely at its destination, Las Vegas.

@katef.bsky.social over the next month or so, I want to build a bunch of little demos and explorations on my website. If you have any fun ideas or things that you’ve built but that don’t yet exist on the web, please LMK!

@syntax.fm @wesbos.com @tolin.ski in 922, you say as a person who works on the web, it’s your job to build great web experiences, not just the CSS part of the backend part.

But what about sites that require DB ops? LLM training? Compiler design? 3D modeling in WebGL?

Which specialization is OK?
