@rechelon this is absolutely a tangent, but there’s nothing innately irrational about supernatural worldviews nor innately rational about physicalist ones
@shriramk Justin made a nice little quiz on casting in C++. We’ve mostly been using it internally at Geopipe, but you might enjoy
@javavvitch @grumpasaurus we need a catchy hashtag - #IceCreamodon ?
@ricci Manhattan is south of Rome and London is east of Marrakech

So George Santos now admits he lied about, well, everything: He didn’t work on Wall Street or graduate from college. But he’s still planning to take the seat in Congress he won under false pretenses. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/26/nyregion/george-santos-interview.html

There are literally hundreds of millions of white folk that do want to hear about ways we can reduce all of those bad things. I work with them. We don't need everyone on every issue. It's cool.
But don't ask me "What do you mean Mastodon is not welcoming to Black folk?" And then in the very next breath, say, "Yeah, yeah, I'm sure Black folk are mistreated, but I don't want to hear about it! CW that garbage! It's making me sad!" Just be real, and only say the second part.

@javavvitch @grumpasaurus look up the sweet ice cream base from the old Ben & Jerry’s cookbook (floating around online). It’s a phenomenal template to riff on top of, just gotta try and stick close to the basic liquid / sugar / fat ratio.
@grumpasaurus @javavvitch no idea if Mastodon supports Live Photos but here we’ve got a Famous Grouse (scotch) and honey flavor that I just can’t make in the summer.
@grumpasaurus @javavvitch I actually make some of my more challenging ice creams in the winter because I can stick the ice cream maker out on the deck and it has an easier time getting the batter down to the freezing point before the ice cream maker warms up too much
@jazzhampton this is fantastic. @radleybalko have you seen this?

After George Floyd was killed miles from my house, I quit my corporate law job to build @TurnSignl—an app to instantly connect drivers to a lawyer on a video call 24/7. TurnSignal:
✅ Auto records the stop
✅ Is voice activated
✅ Free for low-income folks
Download @ link in the about tab!
@ct_bergstrom any concern of friendly crows getting possessive and antagonizing pets / visitors? We’ve got a small murder in our (rural) neighborhood

For the holiday, a thread on how to befriend crows.
--
Befriending crows is a wonderful thing.
I have many crow friends at home and at work. They bring joy at unexpected moments and can rescue a miserable day even without shaking down the dust of snow that Robert Frost described.
This thread is an updated version of one I posted at the bird site in July 2019.

@dev @ricci @regehr @lorisdanto This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

@jonobie not all quote tweets are intended to flag bigotry. #qt’s are critical to a certain kind of viral conversation that’s at the heart of #blacktwitter and other “yes, and…” social communities—where the ability to showcase your take on a growing meme or to add your reaction to a post is both an amplifying element and an act of participatory performance.
