ESR @esr
Hacker, praxeologist, anthropologist, philosopher. Yeah, *that* guy.
Oh. Yummy. Not.
Seldom have I felt better about never eating crap like Subway.
The occasional trip to Five Guys is about as close as I ever get to fast food. Their beef is real..I think.
Er, did DNA analysis reveal what the other 50% was?
Or is this one of those Things Man Was Not Meant To Know questions to which, if I get an answer, I'll regret it forever?
Nah. I live near *Philladelphia*. The neighborhood sandwich shops in the Philly/South-Jersey catchment area are so good they could make a god weep with happiness. Subway is somebody *else's* problem.
"the CBC, (Canada's national broadcaster), revealed DNA test results which indicated the chicken used in Subway Restaurants' sandwiches only contained about 50% chicken. Now, Subway is suing the public broadcaster for $210 million, because "its reputation and brand have taken a hit as a result of the CBC reports." The suit claims that "false statements [...] were published and republished, maliciously and without just cause or excuse, to a global audience, which has resulted in pecuniary loss to the plaintiffs."

This is how you know the claims are true.

@John_D_Bell Eggs a la ESR is what I make when I need to feed my wife and/or other people.
Mastodon asks: What is on your mind?
At the moment, The Breakfast.
The Breakfast consists of: two eggs over hard with hot sauce, four strips of lean bacon, a slice of Tuscan garlic bread toasted golden brown, some diced fried onions, a half-ounce of dark chocolate, and a glass of limewater.
Daily morning ritual. Don't mind me, I'm getting hungry.
My statement in support of the Drupal developers protesting the attempted expulsion of Larry Garfield.
Google Translate couvre beaucoup de péchés.
Besides, some of us haven't forgotten our high-school French. Even if we don't still have generative competence, it's useful for spotting when Google Translate has screwed up.

I have discovered that I can - and must - protect my computer's power switch from cat paws. Using a refrigerator magnet.

@jason_azze I read enough of it to understand what a "praxeologist" is supposed to be, but didn't finish it.
That was a very long time ago and I have more sitzfleisch now - I shoukd try again.
Testing URL posting with the best thing I've seen on the Internets today,

I've always believed this, but never been able to articulate it as well.
@maiyannah Hey! Hey! Stop revealing my sinister master plans for world domination - I haven't got the deathray-equipped Zeppelin quite built yet, and have you ever tried stocking pet chow for an army of radioactive gorillas?
@KatamariChaos That is the sort of thing I would have been lookng for. Multiplicative growth or Poisson process? Your report hints at the latter.
But if there's an unknown largish undercount I don't see a lot of point in the exercise.
@KatamariChaos Well. Clearly the entire architecture is invalid if it doesn't support accurate egoscanning of your follower count.
More seriously, I was thinking of trying to make a followers vs. time graph to get a handle on the O function - one would expect it to be geometric but who knows?
Anybody know where in the UI I find my follower count? I want to compare it to my Tw*tter follower count occasionally.
@m0n5t3r @HedgeMage @hfaust Er, say what? What broken software do you believe me to be using?
