I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of polenta. Polio was a French mathematician from the late 1800s.

Weird how often these boil down to a clever way to LD_PRELOAD…

Bret Stephens is a bed bug.

Ah. Like a back. Got it. Thanks for the context!

“beat the fuck off”?

“Bread that feels oily”?

(Genuinely asking) What did you intend btfo to mean?

• I don’t know what to do! Should I eat more butter?!
• This is the worst part: the calm before the battle…oh wait! I forgot about the battle!
• Some of you will be forced through a fine mesh screen for your planet. Those men are the bravest of all…
• Please, gentlemen, we’ve all seen too many body bags and ball sacks.
• That wasn’t cowardice!
• No, Scruffy, it’s me, Washbucket! I love you, Scruffy! I’ve always loved you!
• Now open your mouth…No not that one. Your other mouth.

THEY LOOK LIKE DORKS!

These are a bit of a stretch…

Joe Vs. the Volcano

16TB btrfs (+ECC RAM) on Debian 12.

Is a Wish logarithm like…the Wish version of an algorithm?

Judean People’s Front for life!

Those are two non-fiction books about American politics. Very different from Innworld…

Really enjoying this series, too. (wanderinginn.com) Amazing amount of output from the author, and while there’s no way you can enjoy every plot thread (I just don’t care for Flos), it’s amazing how often I get excited when a new chapter starts from a new perspective.

Personally, I’m also working on “When the Clock Broke” https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/195790601-when-the-clock-broke and “This America of Ours” https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58311951-this-america-of-ours

Both are interesting reads, but “America” is definitely largely lighter material …(wild, given it’s about McCarthy-era politics)

I’ve enjoyed uv so far. Definitely snappy. And I appreciate that they stuck with pyproject.toml for config. It pulled in some nice stuff from pipenv (sync and update are clear commands that do expected things).

Quick complaint: I wish the python ecosystem hadn’t landed on toml for package config. I’ve never liked toml config files; always found them confusing.

Say it!

Buckaroo Banzai will forever live near the top of my list…

Gibson may use oysters or other shellfish for fret inlays?

But that game already tought us that hell…has its flaws…

A weird nit for me…but isn’t that what ellipses are for? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis

Depending on context, ellipsis can indicate an unfinished thought, a leading statement, a slight pause, an echoing voice, or a nervous or awkward silence.

I think you’re thinking of Roy Cohen:
