# Ran the Fairfax Birthday Bash 5k in 27-ish minutes.
Challenges:
- HEAT.
- The kid's race started 5 minutes after my race, so I couldn't run with them and *everyone* in the family runs different paces/has different max distance they can comfortably run. Logistical mess.
Other challenge, how do I make that tweet valid yaml without the `#` symbol there.

Jan 6 defendant found not guilty. Not me, but at the next annual assembly of Matthew Martins, this case will be dealt with harshly, this reflects poorly on the namesake community.

Where did the idea that every namesake community knows everyone else with the same name? People have asked me to route messages to the correct Matthew Martin, as if everyone thinks their name is unique but everyone else has an annual assembly of namesakes to route mail

META: What of the free speech rights of people who just want to show up and throw horse $#!+ all the time, are these not a protected class? That conversations exist without horse$#!+ is that not de facto evidence of suppressed speech?
Sometimes it is mostly undigested oats, sometime mostly the ghost of hay-- it's an essential part of public discourse.

Uh-oh, @WhiteHouse, get well soon.
Scrum should have a day of something else between sprint close & planning. Scrum & SAFe are at their worst when they are ignoring human factors and want people to just pull 48 hours of straight work. ("But Matt that doesn't happen!" Yeah, human factors, which get imagined away) https://x.com/GergelyOrosz/status/1550111831187894274

I bought 3 more pepper plants. Just a few more and I'll be insufferable.

♡ 0 ↻ 0So I made ghost pepper salsa in the blender. We washed the blender and next day made fruit smoothie. No visible residue, the smoothie was a spicy as a restaurant curry. Next day, same story, still spicy. 3rd washing & 3rd smoothie, no longer spicy.
♡ 0 ↻ 0So the ghost in ghost pepper means you can still taste the heat even if it isn't visible or otherwise detectible.

Those charts that say people in their 20 want to work at the office-it's because they either live with their parents or live with 3 roommates & don't have a quiet place to work, not necessarily because they want to zoom from the office. Remember pre-pandemic, webex 4 hours a day?
(or stare at a screen 6 hours a day, depends on job type of course)

PLNT Burger at Whole Foods best burger I've ever had. Recommended. And the orange fries and the cardamon orange drink.

Bash functions
- can do `local` variables but global by default
- can return a 1-256 integer and no other types!
- only positional args reference by number, must re-assign manually to refer to by name
- behave more like external bash script
Should have called them `dysfunctions`
IDEA: remake of "I have no mouth and I must scream" except it is "Twitter is down and I must tell the world Twitter is down." The twitter feed algo will play the role of Allied Mastercomputer.
Per wikipedia a perfect fit for the role: "the supercomputer which brought about the near-extinction of humanity. It seeks revenge on humanity for its own tortured existence."
