How the is the behaviour of #realestate agents acceptable?

Yeah...

I Dixtinctly feel that a number of tech billionaires who deeply love Star Trek primarily see "Big ship go boom boom"

Satirizing it feels impossible...

... but I'd still love to see it.

(please excise the mild brag of my copy - but I love it)

I forgot it was a good book. I remembered it as an important book, but last time I read it, I just forgot it's a good novel too.

(And I love the ambiguity from the New Speak appendix being in past tense)

Big feature is `swrite` allows you to modify cards without loading in an editor. Also - `scard` now has customizable Jinja 2 templates for output.

And colour output, because it made me happy.

I'd like some more of the MD template to be coloured now... tempted to start parsing other formatting.

Finally got the #SpaceEmpires4X expansions from #gmtgames!

The good is that they look great, and I finally have them. All Good Things has just been released, but the other two have just been hard to find.

But...

So close! Was trying to finish before the midnight boundary. Looked up the last answer afterwards and realised I should have got it, if I didn't get stuck on crook meaning J
I loved the ? clues.
Calcined was tough! Logicked it out, but then looked up to see if it was a word.

Is a parent playing with their child's toys how N64 platformers were designed?

I nerdsniped myself baaad. I've spent like 6 month in learning #Rust and implementing an MCTS in it to try to help me playtest my #boardgames. I could have collected a lot of actual playtests by now... but it's finally helping with #EmuBayRailwayCompany

We should start a partition to have a #DavidAttenborough reading of the literary masterpiece "Mopoke" by Philip Bunting

You can even do a scrum board on the console! Group by whatever you want!

Go `vim sbl sprint1 --bare --sort-by status` and run your entire standup from vim!

Save your cards in your git repo. Do whatever the heck analysis you want with them. Require fields, or certain values.

Hack away.

So - I made a thing. Gonna make a video about the thing later. It's still in pre-prod, but it's an open source tool written in Python for you to manage scrum cards from the command line.

The #EmuBayRailwayCompany board has picked up another level of complexity - but I think is going to enable it to move towards what I'm wanting, and at the same time, enable me to make the rules more parseable. Still going to be opaque as hell though.
