Important lessons:

1. NEED TO HAVE PLIERS to pull the nail/whatever that is in your tire. NO PLIERS? NO FIX. (no pliers are in the kit)

2. It's a LOT easier if there is some kind of lubricant available to insert the plug. This kit doesn't include lubricant, but the folks who had the flat's brother (who came to help, and knew how to use the kit) says it's a lot easier with lubricant to get the plug into the tire. (Edit: apparently the kits typically come with rubber cement as lubricant)

Some parents in Metro Vancouver say they are turning to private swimming instructors amid a growing demand for lessons at public pools this spring — with one municipality looking to fill the gap by offering swim lessons through schools.

Today I finished a mala using bodhi seeds a friend gave me when he came back from China. I've had it for at least six months would do a little and then stop and today I said "I'm going to finish!" And what did I notice right as I was tying the last knot? The tassel had fallen apart! I tried to no avail to put it back together and back on. Anyway, it's finished now, tassel or not, and I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere

Ah, the classic tale of a coder thinking #SIMD would make their code fly 🚀, only to discover it trips over its own feet 👟. Our hero's memory seems as patchy as their #benchmarks, but fear not, the valuable lesson here is clear: #optimization is just a synonym for #headache. 🤦‍♂️

genna.winPerformance optimization, and how to do it wrong | Just wing itOptimization is hard. And sometimes, the compiler makes it even harder.

This morning, the general “sick ugh gross” is feeling a bit less, though my stomach ache, headache, coughing and choking and sweats are all pretty awful disruptive. I’m watching news on … awful corporations and how America encourages the awful to get worse.

So, who remembers the movie OPM?
