       Pythonists are all "explicit is better than implicit" and Ruby is like "LOOK AT ME I MADE A BONG OUT OF THIS HAIR DRYER"(Repost from July 2015; original at https://twitter.com/geeksam/status/618828713308753921)

       @LordWoolamaloo @cstross the little pin in a Schrader valve can be quickly removed with a pair of needle nose pliers. Not permanently damaging as compared to slashing a tire, but just as inconvenient for the driver. One might also "donate" any number of stickers to such a vehicle.

       @foone this is the precise point in the story at which I thought, "damn, I should have popcorn for this"

       @foone @lurkjay saccades are one of my favorite examples for how human vision really doesn't work the way people think it does 😂

       Wasn't sure yesterday if I was going to have the spoons to attend today's #NoKings protest, or I'd have made a better sign. Next time.

       @futurebird @quixoticgeek if you can put a student's screen on the projector, maybe walk each one in turn through "read the error aloud, ask what it might mean, see which line it's complaining about, read that line aloud," and so on?Could help reinforce that these problems can be worked through. Also changes the social calculus from "I cast Summon Help From Authority Figure!" That part could go either way, but handled well, it could build camaraderie ("see, we all make mistakes")...
