Coworker/friend/loved one: "So why is XYZ happening?"
Brain: Aww yiss. I will anticipate all possible questions and forks in the conversation, say it all, thus saving everyone time.
Brain: Wait. Remember how you've been trying to keep it brief? Try that now.
Me: "Well, it was 8:30am after all."
Coworker/friend/loved one: "Er ... I'm sorry what now?"
Brain: They took the bait. THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE
Me, 5 mins later: "... yeah so anyway, what was the question again?"
Let's not be hasty.
Surely free-range, organic, gluten-free sand would be the bestest source material ever.
You just reminded me. My dad used to say "Don't take any wooden nickels!" Had to get him to explain this, the first time he said it to me.
You piqued my curiosity. Has to go check into these.

OT, but I die a little inside when I see some writing in a book. I'm sure in this case it was probably a student wanting to highlight, but still.
TBH for many years it's felt like most accounts (or at least the ones that bubbled up into my feed) were angry people venting about whatever. Like, the angrier they were, the more engagement they were hoping for. That was a surefire way for me to at least move on to someone else, or to just close the app. Don't need anyone harshing my mellow. The shouty people can go find a wall to yell at.
I barely get on these days. And I don't doubt that it's gotten worse.
Posting this from S4L right now :)
Just noticed the notification about 15 mins ago.
As someone who has had to grind through heaps of logs over the years, from systems in various timezones, from products that disagreed on the 'best' datetime format, I've become a fan of adopting ISO 8601 as much as possible. For personal systems such as a laptop, that's a different story. But if I'm spinning up an EC2 instance in us-west-2 or a VM in Central Europe, I avoid the whole "err, what TZ is this in, or should even be in?" decision-making process and just run with WHO CARES IT'S SET TO UTC NOW LET'S MOVE ON ALREADY 😀
And not that anyone here is likely to care, but here's a quick shout out to lnav - The Logfile Navigator for grinding on system logs (for systems where something like Prometheus or whatever hasn't been proactively set up).
I'm able to fall asleep during an MRI scan.
