@talk2GLOBE can i ask you something about my bill? Im out of country and cant call the helpline right now
Sometimes when I need to laugh, I think about the time my cousin’s son took over a group rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to sing the Imperial March
one of the nicest things you can do for someone, i think, is let them get unapologetically excited about something they’re passionate about, ask them engaging questions, show them that you’re listening, and let them go on for as long as they want

post: We should justify efforts to improve internal quality of software based on its ability to reduce costs of future enhancements. It’s a counter-intuitive view, but one that reflects our reality

Ang lakas po ng ulan sa qc. That’s it for the weather, back to you Simon
@MTGGoldfish @EvenMAmundsen … I need to dig out my old Mons Goblin Raiders to use as tokens
It’s great when I’m like “I’ll try a few more games of magic arena before going to bed, surely I can get back to Diamond 1 quickly” and the shuffler decides to smite me for my insolence
I envy people who, lying in bed at 3am, are able to avoid thinking about a work problem that they had all day. i need that level of compartmentalization apparently, my brain can only be satisfied by me getting up and typing out my thoughts and sending them out lol
I have two methods for estimating project size:
(a) break things down into subprojects, estimate them, add it up
(b) gut feeling estimate based on how nervous i feel about unexpected risks
So far (b) is vastly more accurate for any project more than a few weeks
Now I kinda wanna know how kraven would hunt the hulk
Quoted Dylan_Macri's tweet:Kraven: Yes, the Spider-Man. The ultimate prey!
Ana: What about the Hulk?
Kraven: Fuuuuuck that!
@webdevMason Too busy for this, though it sounds interesting. What kind of things were discussed the last time you did this?
I feel like the world was robbed because we don’t have Ben Wyatt’s reaction to the GoT final season
Quoted rachmeetsworld's tweet:Ben Wyatt is the prince that was promised
Really need to get better at not only recognizing when I’m on tilt (I’m pretty decent at that), but also stepping back and taking a breather when I do realize it
Ugh. Google requires Android apps to have 64 bit variants by Aug 1, but I’m out of the country for 5 weeks between then and now and a React Native app requires upgrading to RN 0.59 to do this, wc is nontrivial. Mobile app devt is so annoying
The climb from MTG Arena Diamond 2 to Mythic is so bloody grindy
What happens to your desktop PCs when they die?
@talk2GLOBE I have a globe postpaid plan. do i need to do anything to activate roaming?
Sounds like it would be an interesting place to work

If you had told me six years ago that Nancy Binay would be the best one among the incumbents in 2019, I’d have laughed your face off
Quoted roytang's tweet:How do senatoriables with stronger track records justify running in the same slate as Nancy? Can’t remember any rushing to defend her. #fb
After reading all of My Hero Academia I kind of want a shonen style X-men book
@MaoiArroyo *whore
Ball Blightning
Quoted SaffronOlive's tweet:Rakdos Ball Lightning (trample, haste, sac end of turn) that makes the defending player discard two when it hits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPQANAHBZ1w&feature=youtu.be #MTGMH1

I am whelmed
@rhymewithrachel yup!
@pronounced_ing its the same conditions for the night’s watch since the series began. i assume its not always followed perfectly
Whenever I hear “Eurovision” I assume it’s some kinda special power Europeans have
Say what you will about the Big Bang Theory, but that was a pretty good series finale
I may be playing too much quizup
Yo you like fighting games?
My guy….Just watch this

2019 elections silver linings thread
We keep thinking that we as a nation deserve better, but maybe until we are able find a way to reach and educate and liberate our fellow citizens from ignorance and/or patronage, who is to say that we really deserve better?
Reading this thread from @mlq3 made me feel a bit smarter and like I understand Philippine politics a bit better, but also quite a bit sadder

To the honest poll workers doing their jobs today,
To the independent candidates who still ran despite the odds,
To the millions of Filipinos who did NOT vote for the likes of Bato and Bong Go:
Thank you. You all give me hope that the Philippines will outlive its plunderers.
Salamat attorney. Sana hindi pa ito ang katapusan ng laban and madami pang ibang mainspire na lumaban
Quoted ChelDiokno's tweet:Muli, sa lahat ng kapwa ko Pilipino, salamat sa inyo. https://twitter.com/ChelDiokno/status/1127106664220381185
@DanSlott probably need to wait for the books for that Dan
Hey @COMELEC why aren’t the database schemas and PL/SQL packages being used here open source? Seems like a bad idea to just be updating them in prod?
