*cough* No, I’m not trying to get your attention. I just have green phlegm in my lungs, that’s all.

@lucidiot Hi, back!

@deepend We here in the twtxt universe are too Calm™ for the birdsite. Its dramas — which are neverending — do not concern us. Its madness is not our own. Isn’t it a great feeling to be separate from all that?

Still making Quake maps? Consider making one titled “feed your vore fetish”, where you fight only vores, the four-legged zero-eyed spider things that fling you-seeking purple exploding boogers

One day, I’ll find out when lunch will make me sleepy and when it won’t. Today is not that day.

TF2 had an achievement called “Ubi concordia, ibi victoria”. After hearing that Eris has a counterpart, I’m wondering what an achivement called “Ubi discordia, ibi victoria” would be like.

help I’m trying to get to sleep and I have hiccups

@niplav if he’s willing to be even more nerdy he could use https://lojban.org/publications/cll/cll_v1.1_xhtml-section-chunks/section-evidentials.html and possibly color-code them in some less important color than red

I seem to have way more ideas for things I want to write when I’m out and about than when I’ve got some time to write at the end of the day. I think this has been going on for months with multiple thoughts I’ve had.

Don’t you hate it when you try to get to Inbox Zero, make it to Inbox Three, and then by week’s end you’ve got even more messages that you can’t get out of your inbox permanently?

Briefly tempted to post here as a simple read-until-this-point marker.

@niplav Do you have a particular meaning in mind for “long site”, or do you mean all the possible meanings for “long site”?

@niplav and I thought evidentials were invented by the Lojban people or maybe North American amerinds, not Eastern Europeans

@niplav I have a favorite line of prose written around here somewhere but it’s only understandable by a tiny slice of gamers with literal-Boomer media sensibilities. Posting it would break the Internet.

Old: losing weight by playing Dance Dance Revolution. Bold: losing weight by dancing to the elevator music in The Stanley Parable.

It’s Earth Day today. Sure they’re not as important, but we should also have days for all the other planets, too.

I added pointlessArgument: 'is a taco a sandwich' to a pile-of-arguments object today

@niplav 3½ hours a week…closing your 30-minute Exercise ring right on the dot, with no extra time?

OK, I’m loosening up. Now I’m listening to tracks number 3–10, too.

It’s a “put Moon Safari’s ‘La Femme D’Argent’ on loop tape” kind of day

Trying to get down to Reading List Zero before I need to go back to work next year. The latest to be removed from the list because I read the thing: https://ngnghm.github.io/

I’m starting to think that calorie counting is more effective as a weight-loss tool if you count the calories before you put them in your mouth, especially when it comes to desserts you may not need.

Someone’s BBQing near me. It smells heavenly.

I haven’t had Taco Bell in years

My BO this morning smells like Taco Bell

Realization of the day: I had no idea CFAR was a pun.

Happy Petrov Day!

To a first approximation, emoji are Lojbanic attitudinals for normal people.

One step forward: skipping the extra quesadilla at lunch. Two steps back: supplementing lunch with the entirety of a milk-chocolate bar (960 calories) that was at the absolutely most perfect temperature, and washing it down with about a cup of milk, maybe more. One step forward: burning 800 calories by walking an hour on a treadmill.

This page I’m writing sure flowed and chunked a lot better when it was keeping me awake for an hour in the middle of the night BEFORE I got out of bed.

The last post notwithstanding, please don’t drink and drive. Or drink and vote. Or drive and vote.

Jokes about Starbucks’ drink-size names are old enough to drink, drive, and vote by now, but calling the 30-oz. size “trenta” is probably the least dumb name in the history of names for sizes

I typed in “trenta” (Starbucks for “XL”) into my iPhone and it didn’t recognize it as a real word. Does Apple not understand its primary audience?

The zoom lens is 3x? Good.

I could use the macro photography sometimes.

ProMotion: Handy, but I don’t need it.

…“with censorship OAS”? Did I hear that right?

More battery life? Always nice.

Cinematic Mode: not something I need, but super-neat.

Jiggle protection from iPhones Max now migrates down to normal iPhones and iPhones mini. Nice!

So what can we use with more space up top? Showing the “Syncing…” indicator instead of shoving it off to the other screen?

Workouts to get you ready to ski? That’s…interesting. Not something I need, but it’s definitely interesting.

Jeff Williams looks 15 years older than when I last saw him. What happened to the guy?

Nice to see the Touch ID home button isn’t dead in the iPad.
