@nprofile…z589 @nprofile…zp6v @nprofile…69xy Ditto here in BC. Reminds me, I have to go do the annual broom purge along my ditch line.

@nprofile…npxa Thanks, that does align with what I've read so far. I'm only distantly semi-adjacent at work, where something else is used (where something is used).
My own nonsense rarely gets exposed enough to worry about, though I've love to hear more about them from an #OCaml POV. (Say, on a podcast or something)

@nprofile…npxa How are you liking the tool in general though? I've tinkered briefly, seems useful.

@nprofile…npxa Took me a minute to recall where the band name was familiar from, then remembered that they did "Red Right Hand", used as the theme song for Peaky Blinders. I swear I could leave that one on repeat by itself.

@nprofile…uv9k @nprofile…emr0 How do you find vocals while working? Sometimes they're too distracting to me, though fine if not in English. (Bloodywood has done well there for me lately!)
Edit: Example, "Gadaar"

@nprofile…de2h @nprofile…l9v9 Does this change with named arguments? I would think that you can do more, when you know which ones you are specifying. As opposed to, "which one is the third integer from the left?"

The Seek app has failed me in this nature identification task. It seems to be convinced that this could be broom forkmoss, when it is most clearly a Tribble.

@nprofile…npxa It's "pay *more*" or see ads, because you're already paying.
I do still have it, but not sure how long it'll be kept for.

@nprofile…npxa Yeah, it takes up little desk space, angle is adjustable to tuck out of the way.

@nprofile…npxa The desk-mounted, elevated cat bed I added has been something of a boon.
Our Luna loves to stand on keyboards for attention, but will spend tons of time happily curled up within reach. (and off keyboards)

@nprofile…2mzm If there is good ventilation, and everyone is masked, then one person at a time briefly removing theirs to receive a vaccination should be very low risk. Heck, that part could probably be outside.

@npub1djh…zatj Thanks for the update! Was thinking for a birthday in May in this case, so will check back in a couple months.

@npub1djh…zatj Hey, was totally down to order one, but the shipping to mail one to Canada is actually more than the pin. ($21 CAD vs $17 CAD). So... can't do that.

@npub1aka…zzz2 I tend to be a bit suspicious when I go to the local Indian places, and order something as "Indian hot". I'm pretty sure I'm not getting that.
I think what I get is, "pasty guy from Winnipeg who thinks he likes hot" hot. Maybe I need to get an Indian colleague to phone in my order for me.

@npub1yln…e2vv I'm a fan of the Dice-ware style; memorable, yet also secure.

When needed, I find that I can still sprinkle in some of the "magic characters" to satisfy the more arbitrary requirements.
