@lindsey i picked up a used copy on amazon for ten bucks or so, i tried it out on my kid when she was around five too, but it didn't quite land, but now that she's 8 i think we could probably dive into it together productively.

@plragde @lindsey @regehr @rainer sorry to barge in here but i have this 100% real book which i, as an adult, find delightful. i think the target audience is probably more like 10 though, and includes timely topics in cs like mechanical turk.

gritty reboot of family matters where steve is a teen with a haunted past who falls into flights of fancy, occasionally hallucinating himself as stefan to deal with his ptsd, relitigating his drunk driving hit and run that left a myposian immigrant dead in the cold streets of chicago. in a 3-season long attempt to turn himself in, he develops a crush on a neighbor whose father has been investigating the case but has been unable to connect steve’s catch phrase as both an admission of guilt and attempt to reconcile the past. “Did I do that?” audiences will discover that and more as carl winslow gets closer to discovering the circumstances that led to the murder of balki bartokomous—will he become the next target, or will steve apply pressure to stop an investigation by putting laura’s life in the balance? 3 seasons exclusively on Paramount+.

i personally find getz’s vamping a little obnoxious so i totally get it, but it also seems improbable that a collaboration never presented itself or manifested

why aren't there any popular stan getz recordings with vinicius or toquinho? it seems like getz might have at least played with toquinho instead of gilberto at least once, but i can't find any recordings easily (it doesn't help that i don't speak portuguese). am i missing something?

@orta sounds like a blast!! can’t wait, thanks for the insight

@orta how’s it compare to the first one, id pick it up but i hardly have time for the ~three other games i’m playing right now (maybe this summer 🥹💀)

@aphyr i’m listening to this album on youtube, intermittently breaking out into uncontrolled laughter. then reading the comments, sounds like it had a real… effect on lots of lads / lasses.

@pamelafox @timbray for fried eggs we’ve had good success with cast iron, for scrambled eggs i use either this 8 or 10” all clad which are heavy and a bit awkward around the handle but fine for what they are (the handle was really designed for a much lighter pan) https://a.co/d/25oCtRh

@stillmoms @siracusa renting an a6600 or an fuji x100v or what have you would go a long way especially if you only pack two lenses (can’t speak to the ricohs). i loved the rx100 but the biggest flaw is the “startup time.” if you’re mostly shooting wide a cheap pancake gets you pretty far when you’re in a dense area like tokyo or kyoto and makes it a lot easier to carry one-handed and then you only need to worry about recharging at night. when you get out of the city a longer lens can be nice but you’re basically only packing that, not really a whole lot more gear. i wouldn’t bring a full sized a7 unless you’re committed, i brought one to hawaii and it felt like too much most of the time (i still liked it, but i knew what i was getting into), but the a6000+16mm and 35mm that lived in my backpack i took to japan felt just right and never really got in my way. for context, here are my lightroom stats for that trip, almost entirely 16mm the whole time. https://flickr.com/photos/72809415@N00/sets/72157667936868875

@joeatwork are the nulls in the room with us right now, joe?

i am haunted by the phrase “one source for all things horse”

@quinn im sorry but for better or worse i read “ted nelson addresses this” like “bitcoin solves this” and i couldn’t stop giggling
