@lilmikesf@c.im#SlyStone was a good lifelong pal of one of my late friends, and the stories I could tell... but we'll skip those for now :)
I was gifted a rare DVD archive of all the footage Sly had collected a couple decades ago... and I posted some excerpts online, like this performance at The Metromedia West broadcast facility in #Hollywood

@MamasPinkyToe@mastodon.worldIf you're planning to go someplace, plan to go some other place first. That way when you're late getting ready you can say, "Oh, we're late. Let's just skip the first place," and you arrive at the place you really want to go to right on time.

This is a great point and very much translates to so many other parts of life/work where people stop listening to their "body" (or to their org/product/offering), outsourcing/numbing/dumbing down their decision making based on dashboards of col…
@markhburton@mstdn.socialSkip the usual warmongering posturing from the various indentured 'experts', to
“Luck and misperception played a significant role in near misses in the Cold War conflict between the US & Soviet Union, especially the Cuban missile crisis in 1962,”
“What is claimed in this SDR, and has been the rhetoric under successive governments, is that the UK’s nuclear weapons are an ‘ultimate guarantee’ against attack. But… there is no basis for claiming this level of certainty.”…
@davidaugust@mastodon.onlineSo Builder . ai Mechanical Turked things and Microsoft (and others) were none the wiser.
Due diligence: boring stuff that when you skip it with catch up with you fast.
“Builder . ai’s platform relied on around 700 engineers based in India who manually wrote code based on customer requests. Despite the company marketing it as AI-generated, most of the work was done by humans behind the scenes.”
@aardrian@toot.cafeI am receiving an almost real-time transcript of a karaoke night which I opted to skip in favor of staying home and reading a book.
Hilarious but also impacting my reading.
@robpike@hachyderm.ioMission Impossible: Final Trainwreck. Need help here. Should I..
@luana@wetdry.worldI wonder if they’ll also skip their SoCs to keep synced to the iOS version, like the next iPhone having an A26 instead of A19 SoC
@ehud@scholar.socialFor an upcoming talk I want to show a series of videos, pause and restrart as needed, go back to previous clips, skip entire clips etc. I want this to be as smooth as possible. Seems LO Impress is not up to this. How can I do this on my ubuntu machine or do I need windows (shudder)?
@cheeaun@mastodon.socialRandom thought: if browsers are going to implement AI and all the agent stuff, might as well use it to block ads, skip video ads, cookie banners, pop-ups, trackers, and all those annoyances? 🤔
@christydena@zirk.usLOVED "Deaf President Now!" by Nyle DiMarco and Davis Guggenheim. It's on Apple TV, now! If you're like me and prefer to go in without knowing anything, skip the trailer. :)

@joe@toot.worksI'm eating lunch at a tiny neighborhood Chinese joint and I just heard a bunch of Chinese on a duo call with "skip school" and "study" in English. 🤨
@JSkier@social.linux.pizzaThe weather was too good to not run outside, and skip the treadmill last Thursday! First time running outside at my work running route this year after returning to the work FT this month, and it was spectacular!
Not expecting to hit a sub 8 minute mile, especially with my health issues, but if it happens, I'll be elated!

@gwendolyn@mastodon.cloudListen to victims.
Most people know the story of Polanski's crime. So they can just skip the first 15 minutes.
The last 20 minutes however are really important unfiltered views of the victim. It's a perspective rarely heard and extremely important.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.cafun fact: It's faster to drive to Ottawa from Vancouver than take the train (also alot cheaper for more than 1 person) 🙄 North America is so stoopid #stupid #NorthAmericaIsStupid #Trains
For fun if you're interested: Here's a rough breakdown of options to get one or two or 4 people across Canada and back from Port Alberni, BC on Vancouver Island to Ottawa Ontario in as quick and cheap as possible.
This is a 9900km round trip, so it's not like it's a hop skip jump :)

@Barbarian@social.linux.pizzaThis is so hilarious. Antena 3 CNN got pissed off that Simion decided to skip on the debate and run away to #Poland, so they're letting Dan answer questions normally, and digging out the worst clips of Simion to answer their questions. It's making him look so incredibly bad.
Does he show up and get bulldozed by clear concise policy positions while blabbering about covid conspira…
