I’m a frickin genius.

Context: my kid is mildly allergic to citric acid and citric fruit. Brings out eczema. And citric acid is in SO many things. And it’s painful checking ingredients lists for it.

This morning I wondered: can my phone OCR the ingredients list and check it?

My first thought was to make a little web app. But there doesn’t seem to be a OCR in web browsers yet.

But I KNOW my phone can get text from images.

Then…

Apple Shortcuts!!!

CHECK THIS OUT!!!

asking for resources about using ttrpg in the classroom. :boost_requested:

Hey friends, does anybody has any posts/articles about using ttrpg on classroom with kids? A friend of mine is looking into that and I remember reading some cool stuff about it but I didn't save any so if anybody has anything to share it would be super.

If not if you could please boost it is be really glad 🥺

What you see on this photo is not from the Empire Strikes Back.

No, it is German police protecting a coal mine excavator in #Lützerath - a village planned to be demolished by the energy company RWE to extract coal that is not even needed for the energy security of Germany.

I can't quite get over this; my friends printed out every tweet I've made since 2016 and had them bound into a series of books.

A form of resilience we don't talk enough about: Building systems such that people want to stay at your company.

That means:
- Managing burnout before it becomes *burnout*
- Developing meaningful goals as part of their career growth
- Continually assessing compensation
- Understanding that efficiency is brittle. Not every day/week/month is going to be another personal best in productivity

have been informed that "tcp/ip transition day" was 40 years ago, on the 1st Jan 1983

if you're curious, the protocol used before was NCP, and it wasn't full duplex. that's why things like telnet et al are on odd numbered ports. the even numbers were used for the return path

anyway i guess that means it's the modern internet's 40th birthday, that, and a good way to make anyone born in 1983 feel old
