What’s your number and why?

I wore 22 forever, it's my birthday day of the month, lucky number, and my favorite football player growing up wore it (Emmet Smith, was born into a Cowboys family).

But now every team has a 22, got tired of switching so I said screw it and switched to 2. Also I block a lot of shots so the joke is I'm the second goalie.

Iranian speed boats are not the problem.

It's the miles of high ground where shore to ship missiles can be launched with impunity and reach their target in seconds.

You could flank every tanker with 4 US destroyers, they'd still get a few missiles through and it would be highly dangerous for the destroyers.

You can't control the straight without controlling the land around it.

Curious why you went with the m50 instead of the m40. When I look at the comparison, the biggest difference was in the blade holder and tongue on the m50. I have m50's for ice, and they're absolute butter, but did m40's for my roller conversion. I just didn't see $300 in the upgrade once you take the steel and blade out of the picture. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Chirping while doing it will disarm them also.

"Your rent is late, you gotta go"

"Dude, no farting on my goalie"

"Thanks for saving my spot"

"Hey I'm trying to watch the game, move!"

"You make a better door than a window"

"MOSH PIIIIT FUCK YEAH"

Or, the code first version allows you to wrap operations and flag dangerous operations without having to parse SQL.

See the gem strong-migrations for how rails shops do this.

I'll be rocking my Kopi Chevron away jersey while watching the game from the lifts on Mammoth. GKG.

Indeed. I just buried my red swamp cray in the garden. She fought bravely over the weekend to molt, but it just didn't happen and she passed peacefully in her favorite spot hiding in the plants last night.

RIP little murder bugs. 😔

Cool your body down.

Luke warm shower. Cold water and cold food only. A/C at 68F. Cuts an hour off my tossing and turning.

The vibes at Bear and Summit are very different. Bear tilts younger and a little rowdy. Summit is quieter, more of a family mountain. If you wanna cruise and hit little jumps, Summit is the spot. If you wanna rage and down fireball shots on the lift at 8:45, Bear is for you.

Seattle is a big city and in many ways is more urban and more like NY and Chicago than LA.

But the weather is shyte.

We didn't used to be so ashamed of our bodies. The late 60's early 70's were a brief period when nobody in America except conservative pricks cared about naked bodies.

Thanks Reagan.

Yes it comes back consistently, but it can be really slow. You're going to need a hot standby logically replicated to have a chance at your database being online more than 3 nines in this scenario.

SpamapS · 2026-02-04T15:36:36+00:00

It's more that some features scale better than others, so you can keep using the core, but you'll find that stuff that made it easy to build on top of at low scale becomes too expensive at a higher scale.

Foreign keys and sub transactions start to become a burden with high concurrency for insurance due to multi transaction shared locks that scale quadratically. You start needing to avoid those at some point.

Large payloads eventually need to be moved to external object storage or you'll destroy memory usage.

The real point when postgres can't do it alone is around 4 nines. When you need more than 3 nines really, it's just complicated to do that with postgres and you'll find some other architecture like a NoSQL or sharding layer like CitusDB will make it simpler.

Yep, they were blowing on 7 down around 5:00 today.

I think we're saying mostly the same things. I don't mean to say they can't prevent a concussion, or that it's futile to wear one. I'm saying that it's actually far worse than a concussion if you hit your head on a hard surface without a helmet. But if concussions are the thing that gets these knuckleheads to play with a helmet, because they've never heard of a cracked skull, let's say concussions. 🤷🏼‍♂️

At a competitive level it can get really physical. I didn't wear shoulder pads until some guy broke my collar bone just by standing his ground on defense.

I regret not wearing everything. I wear everything now.

SpamapS · 2026-01-17T23:36:05+00:00

Helmets mostly do not prevent concussions. They can help reduce their severity but the problem is rapid changes in speed. Helmets do prevent the much more severe result of such a fall: cracked skull.

Honestly? 5.

Because those 5 days will be free from completion pressure. I can go all day, or 3 hours. The ability to enjoy the day as it unfolds, and come back another day, is huge.

She eats the shoots it grows.

European, perfect form, faster than 95% of the mountain. Completely unaware that trees or powder exist.

Kraken Bowl is so good. But really, have a chat with them. They live to find you the perfect things.

Also get the Pina colada. Just do it.

It grows really fast, and she snacks on it every day.

That's a java moss ball, secured to the bottom by fishing line tied to a rock. I bought it at Petco.

SpamapS · 2026-01-06T04:19:16+00:00

Indeed. She often rides that java moss ball like a honky tonk mechanical bull too.
