I made it a notable way into the Google interview pipeline, back when most of us still associated them with “don’t be evil.”
Some kind of cognitive dissonance hit my neurospicy brain hard and I dropped out of the process. No I didn’t know what or why — brain rarely explains these things to me. It just refuses to let me continue, and it usually turns out to be right.
Not sure, but with everything between Nymwars and “firing people for protesting is somehow just business,” I think what I saw 15+ years ago was that core of deliberately blinkered ego.

I’m gonna have to watch this one again later and take notes. It’s that good of an intro to the Farmer’s Delight family of mods.

@voidedmain @slicedlime that spawn chunk change sounds interesting. I follow the mods, so who knows when I’ll find out if it makes a difference :bloblaugh:

@ovid That’s why I love having at least one devotedly nontechnical person on my team.
It ensures that I translate any narrative into English, which requires additional thought and usually deepens my own understanding of the situation.

Revolutionary new #productivity hack where I start to feel like maybe I’ve added enough tasks for the day so I stop adding new ones.

@pdcawley I know my mom explained it to me at some point, but I don’t remember. She says I was six or seven, asked “what’s gay?” she gave her usual answer to word questions (“look it up”) and then we had a great discussion after.

Iris 1.7 means proper support for Distant Horizons 2.0.3 when that comes out of beta. Them #Minecraft videos gonna be a whole new world.
Like — regular playthroughs, not just the “I got shaders in Distant Horizons working after three days and my computer hates me a little but wow look at that view” crop you can find already.

I have delighted @IamMrsGeek with a most terrible joke and the most perfect timing.
Tommy Lee Jones has lit the bad man’s building on fire. As he rides away, the bad man or a henchman falls, burning, from the second floor and lies still.
Me, 0.5s later: “Now roll!”
