@npub1g7j…7unj I kind of what that on a t-shirt for my spouse and then another for me that says “I'm with her" and an arrow pointing to the left (since I always tend to stand on her right).

After a nearly three and a half year rollercoaster ride with the City of Philadelphia, I've decided to head back to higher education. I'll be joining Virginia Tech as their new AVP for IT Governance, Planning, and Strategy.

First day of forced return to office five days a week. Welcome back food first thing, then five Teams meetings. Obviously in person is highly important.

@npub1sfl…gczt I am very curious about the algorithmic choices that got you targeted by big boob spam lady and not me.

@npub1sfl…gczt I feel like the answer to "what are the good parts of Independence Day” is either “the entire movie” or “these two 45 second clips.” There is no middle ground.

@npub1sfl…gczt I love chocolate covered espresso beans. I still hate coffee. Maybe I’m just resistant to its undefinable charm of tasting like burnt leather.

@npub1sfl…gczt also Kim would be a much better Senator. Because of the NJ area he represents, we get a fair amount of news about him here in Philly. I like him.

@npub1sfl…gczt yes, assuming there are only two samples. Otherwise that third sample is an exact match.
It’s always worth doing a larger sample in a place that gets all the light variation in a room so you can see what the color looks like in various lighting.

@npub1yks…rgk5 you might ask him how long it took him to create the original art and then base it on an hourly rate. Ultimately the art is worth whatever the two of you think it is, and it sounds like you two are just trying to do something reasonable.
A couple of maybe unhelpful data points from my life. I paid $120 for an artist to create a tattoo stencil for me that took him about an hour. I also paid $100 for a watercolor piece a friend of mine did that also took her about an hour.

@npub1sfl…gczt No judgement here. I literally solder micro-controllers as a hobby, but if I need my primary laptop battery replaced, you can 100% bet I will be having someone else do it. Keeping track of how to take the damn case apart is a high skill job, and I will always pay someone for that expertise.

@npub1sfl…gczt I will grudge root against the Lions with you. Fair warning, I am ultimately rooting for the Chiefs because I want to see all the incels' heads explode when Taylor Swift's boyfriend's team wins it all.
I don't really follow the sportsball much, but I am 100% here for grudge rooting.

@npub1sfl…gczt We are also celebrating the same anniversary digits. It's in June, but due to other plans, we're doing Italy in July. Which I feel like I might have mentioned before, but I'm kind of stoked about it, so I'll probably mention it like 18 more times.

@npub1ema…z20p @npub13rw…nfd8 I feel like you will, in fact, say no to adopting one - because you will adopt eight. That seems to be the way it works for me whenever I go to adopt a pet anyway.

@npub1sfl…gczt Please make sure to stretch properly before doing that. I know the other kids make it look easy, but you could really pull something if you do it wrong. And you need to be in your best shape when you get out of the aquarium to outrun security and the police. Especially when you have no shoes on.

@npub1sfl…gczt apparently I will also be able to laugh nervously every time someone says “nuts” today.

@npub1sfl…gczt The thing is, if the management company is the problem, the board is empowered to fire them and get someone else. If the condo board isn't willing to do that, I still see it as a problem with the condo board.

@npub1sfl…gczt You probably have about the right level of feelings. Many of the "block the fuck out of Threads” posts I see seem to imply that Mark Zuckerberg personally controls every person on Facebook and that blocking Threads is sticking it to the Zuck. Meanwhile I'm over here like “I have a dozen friends on Threads I’d love to connect with here in the Fediverse.”

@npub1sfl…gczt That's good. I've done some full day interviews where they didn't schedule any bio breaks. And lunch was an interview slot too, so you were trying to cram food in your mouth, chew, and swallow while someone was asking a question.

@npub1sfl…gczt ask for a glass of water (if not offered), and sip it when you need to gather your thoughts. Don't gather thoughts too much though. There is nothing worse than having to pee in the middle of an interview. Tip 1a is that if the interview runs more than 2 hours, ask at the beginning for a bio break at some point.
Right after:
