   One of my brothers works in PubHealth. The non-public #COVID-19 numbers he sees must be quite a bit higher than what the public sees, because he is really serious about not catching it himself and not passing it on unknowingly. I'm serious about it myself, but I did not ever disinfect vegetables after I bring them home.

   @geniusmusing The person who wrote that is over-eager with the term "depression". Even the (unmentioned) 1998-1999 recession, with after-effects that lasted a decade, doesn't even qualify. I'd say the 2008-2011 recession was borderline, it could easily have become something that we'd still be in today. And of course 1929 was a depression. But the others were not nearly severe e…

   I think someone is a little drunk. Claiming that everyone should abandon all other chat and messaging services and just use IRC. Then responding with the F-word to everyone who points out a reason why that will never happen (e.g., the need to create a "bouncer" to keep one logged in, so that messages posted during one's absence are not lost forever). Drew, get away from the key…

   I was just informed that #GS3 (almost 1.5 years old) learned to throw a ball this week. Prior to this, he played fetch the same way the granddoggy played. You would throw the ball, he would go and get it, then bring it back and put it in your hand.

   Think about it. “The Greatest Generation” and their parents lived through a pandemic. About a century later, so are we. They lived through two really big wars, an economic boom, and a depression. They saw communism and fascism, those twin evils, take over major parts of Europe and Asia. In a very short time period—under fifty years—they saw the whole world remade. They…

   @mangeurdenuage How tall are you? #Daddy_A is about 6 feet, 5 inches, or close to 2 meters. He won't share his weight, but 275 pounds (125 kg) would not surprise me.

    Definitely high school graduation. College (4 year) graduation was a long time afterward. A multiple of the standard 4 years. I grew taller until I was 22 years old, which is when I hit 10lb over graduation weight. But then it stayed mostly stable there. I found a place I'd marked my height on the wall at age 16, and it was only shoulder height. I'd run into someone I knew from…

    I wanted #ADN to succeed, because I felt that many of #Twitter’s user-hostile anti-features were meant as ways to increase advertising revenue (and often copied from #Facebook, where said user-hostile anti-features frequently did increase ad revenue). But, I thought, how many people will pay for App Dot Net, when they can grit their teeth and use Twitter without paying? My a…

    I haven’t read much about #Twitter’s new “subscription” thing (paid, like App Dot Net #ADN tried years back). But by comparing it to ADN, I think I have already stated my view on how likely it is to succeed. Can they find a way to make it succeed? I’d say yes: add extra “paid only” features. If people care enough about those features, they’ll pay. If paid users…

    My weight has been up for about two or three months, but in the last few days, it is slightly lower (in US pounds) than 1/10 of the number of the year I was born. Hoping it keeps going in that direction for a while. For the first twenty-five years after high school graduation, my weight mostly stayed within ten pounds of my graduation weight. Why this is important: 1—I fe…

    @geniusmusing Well, there was that girlfriend and my (at that time) best friend, her brother; we all moved away from that area to different places and I lost contact with them. I know it wasn't as perfect as I remember, so it would ruin my memories.

    If I had a time machine, what time period would I (re-)visit?
    
    I don't think I would want to see much of the past ... certainly not enough to risk accidentally changing something that could have cascading consequences into the present and future.
    
    But I think it would be interesting to observe the changes one or two hundred years from now.
