For anyone on Mastodon, I’m over there at fosstodon.org/@jerryorr That’s mostly where I’ll be doing my social media-ing for the foreseeable future. Not enjoying this place anymore. Vibe on the instance I’m using (fosstodon.org) is a lot better

@PackingSmacky @jennuhfuremm @j_zimms Good point, though I know at least two people (different docs) who were tested for the flu that weren’t admitted to the hospital. They were in pretty rough shape, though, so it certainly isn’t something done routinely

@jennuhfuremm @j_zimms Absolutely, at least for the flu. If you go to the doctor with flu-like-symptoms, they can test for the flu and prescribe antivirals like Tamiflu. Not aware of tests for the common cold, though

My least favorite ice breaker is sharing “fun facts.” It inadvertently becomes a contest. Worse, it highlights privilege. I prefer sharing boring facts. People are delighted by the simplicity and it’s much easier to establish rapport. So… what’s a boring fact about you?

@amandanat When playing cards, I arrange them low-to-high, left-to-right. I was shocked to find out at least some people (my wife’s family) go right-to-left. That hurts my brain. (and no, they don’t speak a right-to-left lang, which is the only reason I can think of for doing such a thing)

@Judith_IP @BookCurious “The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boynton and “Mr Brown Can Moo, Can You?”, particularly the shorter board book version. I bet I can still recite those from memory all these years later.

@harrywinner @americanvenus @AstraStarr @majohmo @jamielynnlano @MrMyyx @lee_hedgepeth About 2% of people have red hair; can we agree that for the most part red hair doesn’t exist? Roughly 385,000 babies are born every day, meaning about 7,700 are born with intersex traits, according to your stat. A small % of a big number is a big number en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_hair

Let’s share tech stack horror stories: what’s the worst workflow or most absurd limitation you’ve hit with a codebase? I'll start: while working as a subcontractor, I wasn’t able to submit code directly for review. I had to attach the updated files to an email. 🥲 What's yours?
