If you want someone who knows almost nothing about poker to see if you can teach them how to play, let me know :D

Just a separate post in case people found this helpful. Here are some APIs available so you can build your own apps:

- Python: https://github.com/captivus/bose-soundtouch - TypeScript: https://github.com/cssinate/bose-soundtouch

I've partied with Brenda on the weekends, and let me tell you... SOMETIMES Brenda hallucinates.

But never during work hours. The woman's a saint M-F.

Cool! It looks awesome. I did see some "ghost legs" on the bumblebee. How does that sort of artifact happen?

One of my favourite features of Nova is swiping up or down on an icon for alternative actions. Anyone know of another launcher that can do that?

README says `--tartget` - is that really the flag? Or is it supposed to say `target`?

cssinate — Fri, 09 May 2025 13:10:10 +0000

This looks great! If you're open to feedback, one thing I love is being able to edit the actual SVG properties right inside the app - the CSS, the path nodes, etc.

It's gotta be tough! When you've made that your entire personality, it's hard to drop it. You've made friends, and perhaps lost others, by being this person. To just admit "I was wrong" potentially means alienating all of their friends and family. I'd imagine it's why so many people are still so vehemently flat earthers.

They're saying the OP is one of the main contributors to the project.

I 100% disagree. I love threads in Slack. In fact, we actively encourage their use in our workplace. Not everyone in every channel needs to be involved in every discussion. If someone on my dev team says, "Hey, I'm having a problem with X", one person can respond in a thread and they can have a little discussion that doesn't ping everyone else all the time. However, other people have the option of contributing to the discussion if they wish. In addition, the thread can be found in a search at a later date if someone is having a similar problem.

New comment by cssinate in "Bottled water has 'up to 100 times' more bits of plastic than previously feared"

cssinate — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 14:49:32 +0000

I had a roommate like this. So I set up a blind taste test. I set up 10 tests with two glasses each, most of which had one of each type, but I think 3 had either both bottled or both tap. Regardless, it came out int he end, that he couldn't even tell them apart, let alone have a favorite. For some reason, even after the test, he continued to drink bottled water.

Came to say the exact same as the other replier to this comment. Jumped right in to demo it and couldn't figure out what to do so I gave up.
