Yeah, what’s up with the music?

Perhaps an interesting analogy, but offers nothing in terms of how to improve estimation. The only thing I can take away from this is to always add contingency to an estimate.

Man, still funny

I don’t think this is a case of trying to make more money. From what I understood, it’s an unintended consequence of accessibility rules coming into place. Ironically, a law that is meant to promote inclusion, will ultimately make the books less accessible.

Que dijo un pes al otro pes? Nada!

What did one fish say to another fish? Nothing!

Nada means nothing, but it also means swim, coming from the verb “nadar”.

It also reminds of the Simpsons episode where Homer eats the candy that was stuck to the babysitter’s butt. He gets accused of sexual harassment, and his world is in chaos with news reporters outside. Marge tries to comfort him by saying that’ll blow over soon enough. Homer then says, “nothing ever blows over for me.” We then see the helicopter outside blow their car over.

Now, I watched the above episode probably 5 times or so, but in German. I never understood that part. It felt super random to just show his car flip over. Years later I finally saw it in English, and understood the joke. In the German version, I think he says, “Für mich ist nie etwas vorbei.” - > “Nothing is ever over for me.”

Can you not heat it up, and then pour out?

Make the dents everywhere, and no one will know

And utter the unlock phrase: “xig aisle”

I was working at a large company, and an external party that pretty much everyone in the industry was working with, sent out a regular blast email to all its users about the industry. Unfortunately, they CC’d everyone. What ensued was an infinite loop of out-of-office replies being sent to everyone. I came back from lunch and I had over 500 emails in my inbox, and they kept coming. IT had to step in to put an end to it. Pretty funny to watch in real time.

You’ve got ads. Eventually but full-blown ads.

That is true. See you later, Moss.

Daily journaling by default. Then you can create pages for other info. You write info in blocks, similar to notion, which also allows to link at a block level. There’s some plugins out there for todo lists. I basically add a todo in my daily journal, and then I can access a list of all open todo items.

For sync, I use syncthing to copy the markdown files between devices.

I think last time this came up someone posted this awesome video on landfills. Paying it forward.

The Hidden Engineering of Landfills

• Shrinking
• Sopranos
• Severance
• SAS Rogue Heroes

Season 2 of Shrinking has been a very emotional ride, but has a good mix of comedy & drama, while addressing some difficult topics.

Sopranos is a classic. Depends if you like long character development.

Severance is a great dystopian show about people essentially hating to work. Season 2 should be out shortly.

SAS is an expensive BBC production following the formation of the SAS during WWII. Has a Band of Brothers type feel to it, with a British twist. They’re all madmen. Cinematography is amazing, and the history, while dramatized, is still impressive. It’s based on the book of the same name by Ben McIntyre (non-fiction).
