I&#39;ve never heard wolves before.<br/><br/>One of my highlights was chipping ice chunks from the lip of a crevasse on one of the glaciers in the middle of Baranof Island, and listening to the sound of the ice chunks falling into the abyss of the crevasse. That sound was magical after drinking glacial runoff straight from the glacier surface. 2024-10-17T00:15:21Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz94an7pkywqvprtnnem70pg4n04xk8sujxj8gavt4upxkfpme2nqzypgpatz2gate5lh6nsm0ggpt7taqy2r8ztar0jhtkzyeqels2902kuaznhw I can&#39;t tell if I enjoy refactoring so much because I have a tendency to write messy exploratory code, or if I write messy exploratory code because I enjoy refactoring. :blobthinkingeyes: 2024-10-12T12:25:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszdp2mu8e29je9djv37yhs4mcw4dfstadc6nvvxsfh5gjnd74wh9czypgpatz2gate5lh6nsm0ggpt7taqy2r8ztar0jhtkzyeqels2902k40a9eg Kamala Harris was fantastic to watch last night.<br/><br/>But we also *finally* got to see members of the media refuse to just allow anything and everything Trump said to go unchallenged. Journalists could have been doing this all along, and we&#39;d probably be in a lot better place right now.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve appreciated the journalists who have stood up to Trump over the last 8(!)+ years, but they&#39;ve been too few and too far between. 2024-09-11T15:35:44Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs87m3x6uf5fsehw4a9vncqrc69xt8y3yl408wgz690jg356g7h2zgzypgpatz2gate5lh6nsm0ggpt7taqy2r8ztar0jhtkzyeqels2902kys4anj #SilentSunday<br/> <img src="https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/113/062/668/541/567/548/original/6e9a7b3a6673a9d4.png"> <br/> 2024-09-01T14:03:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdfrjmjmf7xhc2cdnjnku59vtd4c7t0vmp9weg0xf0peycag6j99czypgpatz2gate5lh6nsm0ggpt7taqy2r8ztar0jhtkzyeqels2902k2zxajg It&#39;s well-known that people are throwing AI at just about everything these days. Some of that is good, but a lot of it just makes things worse.<br/><br/>I think it&#39;s important to help people who make decisions understand that part of their job is to keep AI at arm&#39;s length.

I started with two heights set, one for sitting and one for standing. Then I realized I wanted an intermediate height for when I&#39;m annotating printed articles.<br/><br/>It&#39;s so nice to find the right height, hit a save button, and be able to hop between these different settings throughout the day.<br/> <img src="https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/113/034/351/032/497/115/original/7a346fc840c5c9c9.png"> <br/> 2024-08-27T14:03:49Z
