@Trev Reasons to love summer: I've worn socks like 2x in the past couple months <3

Is there an achievement relating to the pool table? Don't tell me what it is, just curious if there's *something*

I'm not used to sleeping long hours, so an early bedtime sometimes means an early rise. I'm thankful for this moment of quiet with my coffee before the day begins.

@maloki @Loa That was glorious! 🎃

(awoo)

@evilchili Two thoughts: It's more fun as a stand-up game, not sure if I'd play it much on the train; I wish I had more control over the punches, feels like I'm swinging wildly most of the time.

I like hardcover books.

awoooo

Nice: Dr. Strange and Captain America: Civil War are on Netflix Streaming!

Wow, Digital Ocean is adding "Cloud Firewalls"! Simplifying secure communication between droplets is so necessary and should come standard from all hosting providers.

I pretty much switched MyTransHealth to AWS before launch because scaling on DO required too much netsec overhead. I'd absolutely reconsider DO for future work, now.

Weekend away, followed by four hour drive home at dawn on Monday, means too exhausted to do anything Monday night. Looking forward to some game time tonight, it's been a minute.

Confession: I have a really hard time watching people play Overwatch on console. The lack of mouse control hurts me in my bones, even when I'm not the one playing.

I don't give folks a hard time about it (if it's fun for you, give no fucks) but I don't think I could do it.

I just want to play Overwatch all day, please and thank you.

We've rented Rise of the Guardians 2x over a span of several years (Redbox DVD, then Netflix Blu-ray), and both times the disc has been scratched and unplayable in different parts. Parents, don't let your kids handle rented discs.

I want my computer but my wife is sleeping in the office/bedroom 😭

@acw Gerard was one of the only other engineers I knew that participated in #talkpay, sharing his salary on Twitter. Always had a lot of respect for him for doing that.

@acw Just as an acquaintance. I take it you know them? :)

@nick That was solid, thanks for the share
