This. A scrum master's job should be first and foremost making sure that the dev team has what it needs to get real actual work done. Ideally, the scrum master should be face tanking status/ update meeting, coordinating with outside entities, and ensuring that as few distractions make it to the team as possible.

ASL can count as high as you need to, it gets kind of tedious after about a 999, because of all the place markers that need to be added in (like manual counting, or spelling out a number on a check), but one can sign up to 999 with a single hand. for numbers up to 99, it's more or less using the chart above. For everything after that you mark the hundreds place with the letter C and then go on the rest of the number (476, would be signed 4 C 76). Beyond that, it's just a matter of adding on the place value signs for "THOUSAND", "MILLION", etc. (which are two handed signs) so, 456,789 would be signed as 4 C THOUSAND 56 7 C 89.

The exception to this would be strings of numbers, like phone or room numbers, where you sign them much like how they'd be spoken. So when directing someone to room 235, you'd just sign 2 35 (the concept of hundreds isn't really important here, because in most cases, the leading 2 just means the room is on the second floor).

Edit: ASL is very visual so here's a link (with the caveat that there's variations in signs between signers/ regions, so online stuff may be different than what folks in your area are using)

Doesn't help that they're almost all owned by the same company...

Nice! Kurzgesagt teaches history instead of theoretical physics (and existential dread) was absolutely not on my bingo card for the day, but I will absolutely take it! Kind of digging the water color vide compared to their usual vector animation.

Speaking of Zheng Yi Sao, the band Bastille devoted a track to her on their Ampersand album last year and I'd highly recommend it (mostly because I'd highly recommend Bastille in general, and couldn't pass up an opportunity to plug them).

That sounds like a perfectly capable school machine (especially for $250). According to the service manual for that model, it looks like the storage can be upgraded (assuming that you can get your hands on an SSD). There's no mention of replacing the RAM, so I'd almost bet on that being soldered, but realistically 16gb should be plenty for the use cases you mentioned.

Correction: one does not walk a block in Texas, for there are no sidewalks. One drives a block, like god intended! That's why we were born with wheels instead of legs.

(I've only ever been to San Antonio for a work thing and I am very bitter about the fact that attempting to walk the half-block between my hotel and the nearest grocery store for some snacks was an absolutely miserable experience due to poorly maintained sidewalks that disappeared and reappeared at random. To say nothing to the fact that my hotel was less than a mile from where I needed to go, but couldn't walk to, due to the mega-highway with no pedestrian crossing between the two.)

Can I get in on that action?

Yeah! I put an order in for it back when it was announced and I think I saw that they're not far from shipping out (I'm excited!)

I'm also a Kickstarter backer for Olan's new project Godspeed whenever that gets off the ground. I'm just still bitter and very willing to hold a corporate grudge (it'd take purging the CEO and board before I'd even consider giving them money again).

From the deep Final Space shaped hole in my heart, fuck WB/ Discovery.

I'm of the opinion that claiming media for tax breaks should immediately forfeit IP/ copyright protections and require it to be made available to the public.

So... A Chromebook?

Yeah, watch faces can be switched at any time (I can't imagine it's changed, be you used to be able to switch faces from the watch itself as long as it was a face that you'd already installed). The landscape when Pebbel originally launched was vastly different and I'm not sure how vibrant the community still is, but it's crazy that it's endured this long. Plus now that new watches are being made, it can only grow from here, I'm super excited to be able to rock a pebble again (I still have my Time Steel and a sealed Time, but I think the batteries are well and truly shot (and one of the stand-out features of Pebble has always been their battery life)).

Hopefully it's a quick four months for you (and everyone else waiting)!
