Mine’s a speech to text to the right people with one misinterpreted word. I was on my way to a party and tried to send, “I’m bringing Veuve.” As in the champagne. Nope…all 13 people in the group text got, “I’m bringing lube.” Needless to say, about half were disappointed when I showed up with champagne, and I still haven’t lived this down.

Yeah, I’ve been glued to their stream all day. This is absolutely insane.

They’ve turned me into a weather junkie.

Also, my parents live on Siesta Key, so I do have some personal interest. Thankfully they’ve evacuated to Savannah for this one.

These guys will go live around 3p ET today and have a great combined feed of many cameras and other authoritative weather sources. No commercials or corporate sponsors, just a bunch of passionate weather nerds:

Oh cool. That’s good to know. Thanks! I have no affiliation with these guys, but I’ll keep that in mind for my own purposes.

Do livecasts often have captions? I’ll bet if you commented on their feed they’d try to figure out how to make it happen.

These guys have amazing coverage and no commercials:

Last I heard water had flooded the first floor entirely. Their power went out about six hours ago. They’re in their 80s and stubborn as hell. Hopefully I’ll get an update from them tomorrow. Parents. sigh

No, no, no…Death is…not. Death isn't. You take my meaning. Death is the ultimate negative. Not being. You can't not-be on a boat.

(Apropos user name!)

I’m an extrovert. That’s not the problem. This is social bullying. Please don’t frame this as “extrovert” behavior. This is reprehensible social interaction. As an extrovert I would NEVER talk about personal experiences at work. I would NEVER ask anyone to participate in my conversations unless they clearly wanted to. Stop conflating extroversion with bullying.

I think it’s more of a mushroom, but point taken.

Same game here…with other added catch phrases. I was hating life this morning. But did you know they sell margaritas in a box with a spigot? Like box wine. I didn’t before last night. Dangerous…

That is the most reluctant upvote I’ve ever given.

Sheep intestine condoms ftw!

More of a spy novel series, but the Charlie Muffin books by Brian Freemantle.

Is this just fantasy…?

Vaguely reminiscent of The Stacks in Ready Player One.

It may encourage others to try it.
