Don’t try this at home.

I’ve discovered an interesting new G+ behavior.

I’ve got a Jackasses circle – It’s full of people who I’ve encountered being crappy in comment threads.  Gamergaters, Second Amendment Fundamentalists, Racists, MRAs, etc.  Once in a while I find it therapeutic and interesting to check that circle and see what the worst people on the network are spewing at each other.

I just checked that circle, and after the purgative went back to my default ‘All’ view and found a lot of those people, and more interestingly a lot of people that I find a little distasteful but not full Jackasses featured prominently in my feed.

In the past, just checking a circle didn’t affect stream content if you didn’t interact.  It seems that “appeared on your screen” might now be considered “interaction”.

Someone I follow posted a picture of Trayvon Martin at Space Camp.  The comments were…  They were disheartening.

This is just fantastic, and now I have a go-to video to show people who ask me what games I suggest for couples to play.

Face to face, out in the heat! Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry!

And we cherish every moment.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

In our household, that’s the narrow window when our local grocery delivery service carries fresh Hatch green chile. Funny thing, though: Jennifer Jurney thought she was ordering 12, and ended up order 12 pounds. Turns out that it takes ~3 hours to roast, peel, and chop that much chile.

Best possible Sunday morning, as far as I’m concerned. Particularly because lunch is green chile burritos.

Regular expressions continually solve and generate problems.  Today, I’m wondering about the differences in spelling and pronunciation people see out there.

I’ve seen it spelled “regex” and “regexp”, and I’ve heard it pronounced “redge ecks” and “reg eckps”.

I think the “regex” people say “redge ecks” and the “regexp” people say “reg eckps”, but I’ve never tried to figure out if there’s a connection there.  So, let me know.  Where do you fall?

Facepalm.

“Dehumanizing sounds so extreme, but when you’re fighting for a football at the bottom of the pile, it is kind of dehumanizing,” he said during a series of conversations over the spring and summer. “It’s like a spectacle of violence, for entertainment, and you’re the actors in it. You’re complicit in that: You put on the uniform. And it’s a trivial thing at its core. It’s make-believe, really. That’s the truth about it.”
