Hey so I'm trying to watch #rentlive but the video has errored out twice. Each time, it forces me to start from the beginning. First time was only 15 minutes, in, not terrible. This time, though, was over an hour in.

I want to scream. @FOXTV
@FOXTV Like, I get not wanting people to skip the ads, but not allowing folks to jump forward? ESPECIALLY if they've already watched everything? Is complete horseshit, @FOXTV

#rentlive
Cool, it did it again. I'm logged in, have a profile, all that shit that promises I can RESUME if something goes wrong.

IT RESTARTS RANDOMLY AND FORCES ME BACK TO THE BEGINNING.

I just want to watch #rentlive, @FOXTV!
@FOXTV Anyway shoutout to @foxtv for fucking up something so simple and making me end up just quitting the website because the ONLY OPTION is "restart from the beginning" rather than "resume where we left off."

That's ad dollars lost, good job. #rentlive

I've had a couple of viral moments here. The first (the bride story, for those of you who've been here awhile) is apparently being pushed all over FB again by a couple of sites that shamelessly thieve screenshots rather than embedding tweets. They remove context and go for drama.
That thread is on mute and has been since they started allowing threads to be muted (which was *after* that went viral, IIRC). I don't see replies.

I will share the thread here. The thread includes a one-year-later update.

Honestly, I know it might surprise folks, but I really hated that it went viral. (The maps going viral thing just brought out pedants. The bride story had people calling me a liar while simultaneously attempting to doxx my friend.)

So, prepping your house or apartment for the cold (most folks in cold areas will know this, but good to remind folks.

1. Don't go in and out of the house any more than strictly necessary. If this means getting doggie pee pads, do it. Your dog won't thank you for frostbite.
2. Go ahead and crank your heat up a little warmer than you might normally otherwise. It simply cannot keep up with temps like this and you'll lose heat.

3. DRIP YOUR FAUCETS. Wrap any exposed pipes! Open cabinets! You don't want them to freeze and burst.
4. Got extra blankets or towels? They'll serve you better over windows and doors. That cling film stuff you can buy can help, too, especially with drafts.

5. You can use command hooks and clips to create temporary hangers for these barriers. Make sure to put one over the door!

The windchills settling across the upper half of North America are no joke. Please, protect yourselves, take care, and look after your neighbors.
Frostbite in 5-10 minutes is serious. Deadly serious.

PS: your car will have trouble starting when it gets below 20 out unless you have an engine block heater. (Or if your garage is suitably warm.)

Don't get caught out, though. People will die from this.
Dying of exposure is a really serious risk in these temperatures. Losing fingers, toes, a nose, are all very real possibilities.

If you're in the affected areas, do not go outside if you don't have to. Seriously.

It's been storming all day, and into the night. Thunder and everything. I've stayed inside all day. Nothing has happened yet. Maybe nothing will happen.
Still, I'm nervous. I've been freaked out all day. Maybe I shouldn't have stayed. I don't know what's wrong with me. I should leave tomorrow.
I'm not even really sure what I'm saying. I just need to occupy myself with something. Writing this makes me feel less alone. It's like I'm talking to someone.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

 Here’s a secret everyone knows:
this Trump/Russia/Treason thing is 100% Crap.

I know it.
You know it.
Media know it.
Democrats know it.

Liberals yelling that Trump’s press conference was Sept 11th, 2011, Part Deux.
No, it's not.

Been hoping to do the MKO Abiola/June 12 thread as promised before now but events are sometimes beyond one’s control. Seeing as tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of that date, I’m sure it is definitely a good time to do it.

And so, here goes: a Thread on MKO Abiola and June 12.
It is difficult to separate MKO Abiola from the story of June 12 and the June 12 struggle because as Gani pointed out back then, Abiola was the symbol of the mandate of Nigerians and his imprisonment became the rallying point of the struggle.

And MKO Abiola was a complicated man
Even more interesting, the June 12 story itself is a most complicated one with many sides but mainly two - the political and the ethnic; and two other ones - the activism around it and on a lesser scale, the family involvement.

The common thread though is Abiola himself.

Let’s talk about animals. Millions of Americans, myself included, routinely use the word animal to describe people who rape, torture or murder other people. It’s so commonplace that no one ever says a word about it. We all understand what it means.
When you call a human an animal, you’re calling that person a soulless creature who doesn’t deserve to live because of what they do and have done to others. People like Kenneth MacDuff, who was convicted of murder three separate times and paroled twice.
Each time MacDuff was paroled, he killed more women. What are we supposed to do with such people? They cannot function in society without harming other people. Is it fair to the innocent victims that we felt compassion for him because he’s a human?

This, by the way, is what ADHD looks like. Not that I haven't given you enough examples, but you can always use more.
I've been programming since I was 12. I have two or three completed projects, if that. gekk.info/code/ has everything I could think of sharing, and of those, really only SIP Ping is what I would call any kind of 'finished'
In recent years this has gotten maybe a little bit better? But mostly because making big leaps of functionality got easier as I slowly learned more, so it takes longer to hit the 'slog' part of programming
