@nexusbot_blaine Thank you for setting up this service. My wife and I got interview appointments on the schedule today.

Checking in again over a year later. There are people here, but very few I recognize. I guess that's good.

This is literally the first time checking Twitter in over 5 months. I am surprised—and disappointed—that there still are people here. Change is hard, I guess.

@BrodieOnLinux Just for fun, did you know that IBM has their own term for pixel? They call them pels.

@jrssnet @2_5adm1ns Thank you. Your commentary had spooked me on using Btrfs for anything. My use case is to use Btrfs on a single laptop drive instead of ext4. I am attracted to the feature of layered snapshots as recovery for things like upgrade fails. My backups are done using Restic.

@2_5adm1ns @jrssnet re: show 126 Jim, what are your thoughts on using Btrfs on a single drive system? I have listened to and read your unhappiness with how Brtfs handles multiple disk configurations, but it seems to provide useful features like snapshots etc. for this use case.

@albinstigo @briankeating The magic of time travel doesn't ensure that everything—or anything—would work out the same way. Think butterfly effect. I feel completely comfortable not doing BS gambling. As for investments, I use primarily index funds which would include Apple and Tesla, for good and bad.

@balister @RadioFreeTom Am I the only "experienced" person who is capable of learning new things? I have absolutely no problem with the auto start feature. I like that I am not wasting fuel at the interminable traffic signals where I live and it's great that I am spewing less crap while sitting there.

@RadioFreeTom If your car "shudders," there is a problem with your car.

@ChuckMcManis That would be fine—a new word without introduction—if it was in practice. With Duolingo, everything is a test. Second, on my third point, I knew the—or a—correct translation and the system failed me because they wanted a yet-to-be-introduced synonym.

@duolingo I give up. 1) The app repeatedly fails me on pronunciation, even after careful practice. 2) The app throws words at you without introduction.
