I was reminded of what it's like to teach high school yesterday. It was a pleasant shock, but I think I'll keep my cushy professorship.

Also, why doesn't Firefox spellcheck this box for me???

I'm trying to watch snooker World Championship this year. Been a fan for over 15 years now, but could never find a good way of actually watching it beside YouTube clips. This time subscribed to matchroom.live, no idea if it's going to work out.

Are you excited yet?

For me, the first sign of spring is when I’m walking around and start seeing thin filaments everywhere — the little threads of silk left behind by traveling spiders. This year the first delicate threads spotted were on campus, draped over the metal signposts around the parking lots. They’re all webbed with criss-crossing strands!

I didn’t see the spiders there, not yet, just these traces. From past experience, those signs are often populated by Theridion, so I’ll keep my open for the first appearance of the little guys.

Airman Jack Teixeira is screwed:

"The leader of a small online gaming chat group where a trove of classified U.S. intelligence documents leaked over the last few months is a 21-year-old member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard... Jack Teixeira, oversaw a private online group called Thug Shaker Central, where about 20 to 30 people, mostly young men and teenagers, came together over a shared love of guns, racist online memes and video games"

Fun, even though `HashSet.Contains(T item)` has the `CanBeNull` attribute on the `item` parameter if you try and pass it something Rider thinks is T? instead of T it will complain at you.

Once again hating C# nullable annotations. What an awful hack. Just use a better language like F#
