@johnvoorhees @macstories @viticci hmm, maybe I should amend my statement to say Texas bbq then?


@macstories to add to the regional aspect of foods, hush puppies are almost never eaten with bbq in the south as @johnvoorhees mentioned to @viticci. They are definitely a seafood accompaniment, usually with fried seafood.


@FinchHaven@mastodon.sdf.org but you were still the one that first taught me!


@FinchHaven@mastodon.sdf.org I deal a lot in failure analysis at work and am going to liberally re-use this 😂


@alexcox there is nothing that compares to the greeting from a pet upon your return home. I know that feeling when it goes away, and my heart is with you Alex.


@allanjackson @marcoarment I think there has been a significant shift in quality of their recommendations post-acquisition. For example, I never tried a double-edged safety razor before WC said that was hands down THE way so shave (and I agree!). Now? No mention at all of such things on the site.


@dmoren @jsnell @dcseifert @matt ecobee has been great for me for many years now. Imagine, controlling the HVAC system from temperature sensors in the room you are occupying and not the thermostat in an empty hallway!


So sorry to hear this @alexcox. It's hard not having them around, but the joy you shared together can never be lost.


@jelly oh I know, it just surprises me that the upload speeds offered continue to lag so far behind download.


@jamesthomson instead of "mistakes", have you considering calling these "goals"? 🙃


@jelly that upload speed though 🤮


@johnaugust @cabel but I would imagine almost everyone with an Apple TV is a Netflix user?


@jamesthomson if only the iPhone had a crank ...


I can't believe that @jamesthomson wasn't first to release a talking calculator!


@drdrang I noticed the ones about fracture mechanics and went "ohhhh". Fractured metal (or the prevention of) is much of my work life!


@dobyfriday @marcoarment @overcastfm I felt uneasy, like the world no longer made sense when I first saw it ... what's next, RecDiffs?


@marcoarment, I think something is broken in @overcastfm. I'm seeing chapters in @dobyfriday ...


@atpfm @marcoarment the App Store may not make this possible, but it would be interesting if you could figure out how many of us with the one-time unlock are now also paying the annual subscription. I'm sure some number of people are doing it for the uploads feature, and others just do it because they want to support continued development. If there is a big overlap there, sunsetting the one-time benefits may not hurt that badly.


@alexcox I'm sure there are many people like me that have had pets go through similar things, are big fans of your work, and are happy to have some way of helping put some good into the world in a moment like this. I know your struggle, and hope this is something Nes can bounce back from quickly.


@redpandaclub Sounds great, and thank you for the speedy feedback!
