In the Philippines we have both people complaining that scientists didnt warn early enough about the volcano erupting and also people saying we shouldn’t listen to scientists’ “opinion” because they’re “not god”. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

RT if you’ve been making web things so long you remember the days that Firefox didn’t exist 😁😂🙈 Quoted bphogan’s tweet:
RT if you’ve been making web things so long you remember the days when you had to download Firebug so you could have a web console.
Wow. What a game changer that was.

I wrote about how as a kid I hid behind McDonald’s instead of embracing my Filipino heritage for @GENmag.
S/o to @NifMuhammad for letting me write about something that I have been afraid of talking about for a LONG time.

#CrisisOnInfiniteEarths spoiler free review: low budget, pacing and writing issues, but idc because all the dc comics fan service kept making me smile
-
I still dont understand why they needed Ryan Choi for #CrisisOnInfiniteEarths lol

Obviously it’s all scary and everyone should take care etc, and not to belittle the danger, but people have token some really good pictures of this eruption
Quoted ABSCBNNews’s tweet:
Streaks of lightning blazed through columns of ashes amid #TaalVolcano eruption as seen from Nasugbu, Batangas on Sunday evening. Photo from Domcar Lagto, ABS-CBN News
more pics of the eruption
Quoted itskyylliieee’s tweet:
This is the original picture tho guys: please don’t be frightened I just edited the pics at VSCO
Also the pics aren’t taken by me btw (credits to whoever person taken it) I just edited the pics and put an additional prayer.

I did my regular backup of my Google data, it was 38GB split into 2GB chunks and one of the chunks was just this 15-min video I shared from the PS4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf1JUqYd0ZA Maybe I should be glad I haven’t used the feature too much.

Witnessed the most amazing thing on the train to Edinburgh yesterday. A guy boarded in Wigan & sat opposite me. He went to sleep for an hour.
When he woke up he bought a sandwich, ate it & went back to sleep. (This isn’t a maths test, you don’t need to know the distance/speed).

Reply to momblogger's tweet:
@momblogger Does the administration even have any published, measurable objectives for this drug war, to be used as basis for measuring success? If they only measure success by approval rate, then it’s just a war of propaganda.
-
I reinstalled and logged in to MTGO after the longest time. The interface has changed but unsurprisingly is still pretty bad
-
Trying to justify poor performance with approval ratings is a tacit admission that your goal was window-dressing all along and not actually doing your job. Let the people approve because you did the thing, not because you tricked them into thinking you did. Quoted gideonlasco’s tweet:
The police and the government should stop using approval ratings to justify their failures.
Beyond legitimate questions about the valditity of some opinion surveys, popularity is a poor substitute for truth or justice.

One of my 2020 resolutions will be to reduce my reliance on Google services. First step is changing the primary email I use on most services. That first step is gonna take a while though!

Quick WITCHER S1 #spoiler-free-review:
-
great season, but what a tease
-
I like Henry Cavill in this role more than as Superman
-
although he plays the titular Witcher, the season’s plot largely involves Ciri and Yennefer’s origins as well
-
I wish I had watched this before playing the Witcher games, it’s the great backstory recap I never had
-
looking forward to S2!
-
-
I propose to name this decade “The Burning 20s” (Roaring was already taken)

This has been the best day of the 2020s so far

Posted on r/humblebundles: Is there any way to sort/filter the Humble Store by price?
I have a $5 coupon that’s expiring on the 3rd (from the BS region lock on Soul Calibur VI in the previous monthly) that I want to use, but I don’t want to spend more than that (I’d rather not buy anything on the Humble Store if possible - Steam always gives me better regional pricing). The sort/filter options on the store make it tedious to find all games $5 or below

I wonder if there are other developers who have written their own software for their own use with horrible ui and horrible code that never gets cleaned up because “I’m the only one who’ll ever use it”

I retweeted this thread back in 2017. It’s still ongoing! He’s managed to beat his dad twice since the thread started!
Quoted onlxn's tweet:Rematching my dad in Scrabble. Have never beaten him. He was once top 30 in the American dictionary, but he is old now, and I NEED this
