EV charging station won't charge my VW. And won't let go of my car, charger plug is stuck in my charging port. On phone with support. Their nearest tech is in San Pedro. 650 miles away. Big yikes. 😭

I feel terrible asking this, but my debit card got stolen and I don’t currently have the funds in my account to cover some upcoming payments while I sort the dispute out with the bank. If anyone could help spot me, I would really appreciate that! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater

I absolutely loved Tanya Reynolds portrayal of and her #TedLasso character Coach Alice Chilton. Her humor especially. The final episode joke pay-off is top tier comedy in my book. A+, five stars, no notes. A perfect joke.

Spectre is my favorite vulnerability class because it’s inherent to the way the system is built, and the only real way to fix it for good is to burn it all down. As an anarchist, I can appreciate that

#Ruby idea: Array#join separator, last: nil words = %w[foo bar baz] words.join #=> 'foobarbaz' words.join ',' #=> 'foo,bar,baz' words.join ', ' #=> 'foo, bar, baz' # THIS words.join ', ', last: ', and ' #=> 'foo, bar, and baz'

I've been using Puma as my #ruby/#rails webserver for years. Over a decade probably? Today I landed a tiiiiiny little PR* to it. That felt nice. --- * - a missing `require` in a very specific uncommon use case :)

I hope to land a much bigger (but still reasonable) PR next. Making the HTTP parser a plugin-able option. So that one could BYO a HTTP parser written in Ruby (or Rust!). In addition to the built-in C and Java defaults.

40/40 club means that a player did both in one regular: - hit 40+ home runs - stole 40+ bases PCA (Pete Crow-Armstrong) hit 45, stole 40 (so far…) PCA is the 7th person to ever do this: Jose Canseco Barry Bonds Alex Rodriguez Alfonso Soriano Ronald Acuña Jr Shohei Ohtani (50/50!)

Why do video creators love their mic audio clipping in the red so much? You don't have to yell. You have a public adress system. Often in a controlled contained environment. Like, people are intentionally sounding a drive-thru speaker.
