  I tweaked my back the other day simply by existing. I didn't lift anything, get up from a chair, lie down in an odd position. I was simply standing and then it hurt. I'll go to the chiropractor tomorrow to get them to crack my back in that one specific way they do for the SI pinch. I'll pay them $50 for the privilege of that 30 seconds. And then I'll need to do it about 4 more times before my back feels normal again.

  @mark this was an excellent read as an outsider and it feels quite natural to agree that embracing diverse approaches to analysis will be a net positive to the field. I struggled with some specific domain language in there, as expected, but I was able to follow the whole. I kept thinking about it in terms of biblical scholarship, since that's the closest thing I have any exposure to, and I think I found some familiar territory. How was this taken by your peers?

  The #Sony physical media firestorm going around is frustrating me so much. "Selling" licenses to #games they can take away again is literally the same thing #Steam does, but all these comment threads are full of people ranting about leaving Playstation to go to Steam. It's a bigger issue than Sony. It's a bigger issue than video games! Ebooks, audiobooks, any digital rights managed shit. What does good look like? GOG. (Are they on Fedi?) Give us the installers. Don't use...

  In my dream last night i was going to look at an apartment for sale inside Yankee stadium. The agent took us on this tour of the stadium, which was sort of like the mall of America in size and complexity (hidden movie theater, ice hockey on the second floor?). The place was ridiculous and I wasn't sure I really wanted to live inside a sports stadium (would it be loud?) but the price was really good and it could be an investment. Sadly, the agent never actually showed us the actual apartment,...

  Help me out. I'm trying to think of the quintessential films that demonstrate the different types of theoretical time travel. Back to the Future12 MonkeysBill & Ted's Excellent Adventure or Predestination What else? I'm thinking Primer is a 12 Monkeys type, but maybe it needs another category. And what about multiverse? What's the best choice there?

  One of my current happy things in life is lying in bed half awake in the morning listening to my wife grind coffee beans while my son is having breakfast. He'll be coming into the bedroom in a few minutes to say goodbye before he heads out to school and she will sit down with her avocado toast with everything bagel seasoning. It's all background sounds to me. A happy family routine of sounds.

  Do you want your computer to sound like an 80s #scifi device with lots of bleeps and bloops and swoops? Are you running #linux? https://github.com/jamestomasino/beep This is my recreation of an old program from nullsoft called 'beep' that does just that. The more stuff your computer is doing (cpu, mem, network, etc) the more it beeps and boops. Enjoy!
