  1. @samuelcotterall Oh yeah, I see what you mean, and agreed - I'd be just as happy with this stuff if it looked nothing like meat
  2. @samuelcotterall Vegetables are somewhat lacking in protein though, that's why I end up eating a lot of that kind of thing
  3. @halfheadhenry Have you seen this? youtube.com/watch?v=wnNVfs…
  4. Just spent 4 hours cleaning my bike... feels like a waste of time, but probably a good idea as I'll be riding ~400 miles in a week or two
  5. @MatttLloyd I would have to guess Rule 110, given it's Wolfram
  6. @goodworkson 25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3jnnwS…
  7. @goodworkson lift a weight youtube.com/watch?v=oE2BX0…
  8. @BQQuinn think you need to have a word with @mingchen37, he dropped your name from the latest Puck Nuts intro
  9. @raymosley we saw that down there the other week too. Pretty vile.
  10. “Manny Pacquiao” by Kool A.D. is my new jam. ♫ t.thisismyjam.com/gb/_1iiuswv
  11. @oliverdore You could use an animation instead of a transition to replicate the elastic/bounce - but probably would need to define 6 anims
  12. @MatttLloyd yeah, overloading is only possible by typeclass. Redefines aren't possible either, as all module members are constants.
  13. @samuelcotterall @raymosley especially silly because ID3v2 allows arbitrary tag fields. I use quite a few custom fields in mine - like label
  14. @MatttLloyd @samuelcotterall did you read this from Michael Abrash last week? blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/valve-h…
  15. @MatttLloyd well, I ended up writing a bunch of Haskell to work it out too, it was a "how do we deal with this?" problem. Will just copy .hs
  16. @MatttLloyd rubber duck strikes again. I just wrote you a huge email and didn't even have to send it by the end.
  17. @raymosley I've heard clearing your font cache fixes this problem, not sure where exactly you do that though.
