To make your day more dramatic, post a random news story with the title, “It begins.“
something i find really cool about software development is the naming schemes that some projects use, instead of boring numbering. for example, android release codenames are named after sweet treats. debian (the linux distro) releases are named after toy story characters.

Contrail Shadow X
What created this giant X in the clouds? It was the shadow of contrails illuminated from below. When airplanes fly, humid engine exhaust may form water droplets that might freeze in Earth's cold upper atmosphere. These persistent streams of water and ice scatter light from the Sun above and so appear bright from below. On rare occasions, though, when the Sun is near the horizon, contrails can be lit from below. These contrails cast long shadows upwards, shadows that usually go unseen unless there is a high cloud deck. But that was just the case over Istanbul, Türkiye, earlier this month. Contrails occur all over planet Earth and, generally, warm the Earth when the trap infrared light but cool the Earth when they efficiently reflect sunlight. The image was taken by a surprised photographer in the morning on the way to work.

if you had $86,400 and someone stole $10 from you would you throw the rest of it away?
of course you wouldn't
we have 86,400 seconds in every day so if someone upsets you or annoys you for 10 seconds don't let them ruin the rest of it
i wonder when wasteof is going to get instagram-esque comment sections…
i find it funny how people say you need to be good at math for cs/programming. learning to program (functions & variables) actually helped me understand math better
Fly to a small town in Thailand, get accepted by their people, learn the language, train in Muay Thai for a year and a half, fight in a tournament, win the tournament, return to the USA and join the UFC, stay in shape and go undefeated in your weight class, retire and do an interview saying this comment was the reason you fought so hard
nyc photography attempts:
