   Obvious interference by someone other than the public health folks. If we're going to slow and stop the spread of #COVID-19, we need _more_ testing, not less, and we need to re-test people that have already been tested before, because infected / not-infected is a point-in-time state, not a lifetime state.

   As expected, they brought the new baby dog-dog home. The existing granddoggy was not sure how to feel about it. But having survived a baby, I think a new puppy will be survivable. This puppy looks to have a large breed in its ancestry. When the human child ( #GS3 is about 1 1/2 years old ) and the dog-dog child sit next to each other, they're almost the same height. My daughter…

   One of the neighbors has a little fluffball barkydog that believes it controls the entire neighborhood. I can hear it barking, which tells me someone is outside in their own yard or walking down the street. This dog is probably about the size a cat, but with lots of hair. It was annoying at first, but then it became sort of a game. Dog: Bark! Me: Hi, Ruff! Dog: Bark! Bark! Me…

    Kids these days will never know ...
    
    
    I remember walking with my friends to the local arcade (about 4 miles). One day we got there and found a new game, Pac-Man. The next day, we went back. Frank, my Taiwanese landlord's elementary school son, was there playing it. We learned about patterns and all sorts of tips and tricks to play better because Frank had played it in Asia before he--and it--came here.

      Of course, I couldn't just memorize someone else's pattern. I developed my own. But with less than $5 per week to spend, I didn't get far. Frank was a better player the first time I saw him play than I ever was. That said, I got a 5th place plaque at a local Pac-Man tournament. It was an all day event, but you had to be there during the awards ceremony to receive a prize, and…

    It’s been a while since I played with #Cassandra. It was pretty enjoyable, but it is hard to wrap one’s mind around schema-less databases. Remember when you first learned to use random-access files in a programming language? What did you learn? That you had to firmly set a length for each record and which contents which at what locations of each record. So #MongoDB, Cass…

      @musicman Has it really been that long? When I tried it (and I did enjoy it, if it wasn't obvious), it had no way to make one record's contents [i.e., datatypes, lengths, field order, or even fields used] match another record's contents.

    @bobjonkman @blacksam Would that still be true if you actually liked onion bagels?
    
    Asking because, although I don't eat bagels at all, it seems to me that you're probably unusually sensitive to the flavor of onion ... which would likely be the case if you disliked that flavor.

      I do like the taste of onion bagels. When the other bagels in the bag acquire an onion flavour it's a poor experience at best, almost certainly leading to the purchase of a *real* onion bagel. #AOBFS #AcquiredOnionBagelFlavourSyndrome

      That doesn't make sense. Brandishing guns at people is a crime. If your life is truly in danger, shoot. But if shooting is not (yet) required, leave your gun put away out of sight until you need to shoot.
