I came across a posting of a #python coding lib for modeling data. I seem to recall it had a five letter name. I was looking at taking a series of numbers (account growth) and modeling ahead. But now I can't find where I saw it or what it was called. Anyone have any ideas?

My mother-in-law loves discussing politics with me, and I am not looking forward to her eventually asking me to explain the Vance + Couch thing.

So, apparently, Bimbo Bread is named for its parent company, the Mexican "Grupo Bimbo" which was founded in the 1940s.
In trying to figure out where 'Bimbo' in the name came from I found their corporate website. It states that the name is a combination of "Bingo" and "Bambi." That's... interesting.

"Why isn't new year's on the winter solstice?" - Romans sucked at calendars and we haven't abandoned it yet.
Here's a post on github which dives into just how bad they were at it

Wow. The Reign are going to be unrecognizable if both Lavelle and Sonnett go to Gotham.

I'm having a Shazam moment. I would have sworn Ron Howard directed Forrest Gump (it was Zemeckis.)

You ever sit home and think about how Firefox was Firebird was Phoenix after it forked from Netscape?

When you don't prep a combat session believing your D&D group is smart enough to not force it. 🤡

Does anyone else refuse to capitalize internet? I know it's supposed to be. But my brain just simply refuses to do it.

@npub1u4k…vxe4 Nope. I have a love for it as the movie that got me hooked on post apocalpytic stuff, but man is it just heavy handed and badly written tropes from *ahem* bow to stern.

Waterworld is a fascinating encapsulation of the era of 90s blockbusters.

Is there a writer's group Discord? I'm working on writing a book and would love a small group to share writing, updates, ask feedback, etc. #writing #novelist

@npub1u4k…vxe4 I wouldn't be surprised if WordPress had a plugin that does this.

One of the features I enjoy in my blog's backend is small but brings me joy. I can go through and merge tags in the admin panel as you'd expect. This is used for correcting typos (for example, I just merged 'astonomy' with 'astronomy') or just choosing between synonyms (ex: 'coding' v. 'programming'.)
The feature is that the system saves the merged tag as synonyms and if I ever use one again, it is automatically changed to the new one. So 'astonomy' automatically becomes 'astronomy.'

Doing something I haven't done in a while thanks to a gentle nudge from my friend Dave. Editing a book I wrote in hopes of it ever seeing the light of day. We'll see.

I just introduce my mother-in-law to mocha frappacino from Starbucks. She's addicted.

There is no good solution, but I hate when my RSS feed has no new entries. I just want an endless stream of content.

For the umpteenth time this season I am left feeling confident the #SoundersFC front office needs to make a notable signing in the upcoming window. We are great except for that whole scoring goals part.

The satisfying fulfillment I get when I code a personal project remains a major motivator for me.
I have felt this on various projects:
1. My MLS Pick'em league (RIP, I put it on hiatus this year.)
2. My personal blog engine
3. Behemoth - my current project for a flexible collection management tool for my wife and I.
