    @aaronpk Gak, yeah, it's why I stopped doing gel because not only does it wreck your nails but is so time consuming

    Aaron Parecki
    I first thought I'd let them just grow out naturally but then a month later they were starting to look messy and only 1/3 grown out and didn't want two more months of this.

    So when I was a kid, we had HBO, and we had a VCR, and my dad diligently recorded what appeared to me to be every single movie playing on HBO until our entire hall closet was a movie library full of VHS tapes. It only occurs to me now to ask, was that normal?
    Aaron Parecki
    I knew someone who did this too! I remember the many bookshelves of VHS tapes in his home office, looked king of like library shelves

    Okay shiny black fingernails were fun but wow gel nail polish is really time consuming and messy to remove!

    At least soaking my fingers for 15 minutes per hand gives me an excuse to catch up on some videos

    Is anyone up for convincing me that the HTTP accept header is a good idea?

    I understand the theory: every resource should have the same URI, and should be able to deliver to clients in the format that they indicate they can best handle - eg an image served as WEBP to supporting clients but falling back to JPEG

    But we have 20+ years of real-world experience with it now, and I'm not at all convinced that those theoretical benefits outweigh the drawbacks: mainly its lack of discoverability

    It's not just you!

    And to this day I am glad you found that coffee and worked on Webmention - I'm enjoying it in so many ways. If only I'd have known you were doing this in 2016 - I'd have loved to have contributed - thanks for all the hard work!

    Yeah we tried actually 2 of them tried multiple times and we could not get any combination of name to work. None of them had ever seen it before either

    Note to self: find out why my TSA pre check didnโ€™t work on this flight. Taking ALL my camera gear out for inspection really slowed things down for everyoneโ€ฆ
    Aaron Parecki
    ugh ugh ugh. Yeah probably it was a full name vs partial name mixup. If you notice it's missing on your boarding pass sometimes you can get the ticket counter agent to fix it for you before security.

    Similar position with @Delta - in terms of miles, the rollover alone was enough to reach Diamond 3 times already๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž
    But their spend requirement, $20K, will be VERY hard to reach.
    Aaron Parecki
    Alaska was very nice to continue my 2019 status through 2020, 2021, and 2022 despite me flying less than would qualify for even the first tier, but alas I think my time as a top tier flyer has come to an end ๐Ÿฅฒ

    @aaronpk Ugh. I spent 45 wks/yr in hotels for 21 years until it came to a screeching halt in 2/20. I cannot for the life of me figure out how I lived like that.

    Aaron Parecki
    That is a long time. That's basically what I did in 2017-2019 reaching a ridiculous peak in 2019. I told myself I was going to plan smarter travel in 2020 and not do that again but that problem clearly took care of itself.

    @aaronpk Are you already aware of the promo they have going for picking back up last yearโ€™s status if you missed out? In case useful itโ€™s something like fly 10k through April to get Gold back (I only know because Iโ€™m in this bucket!)

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah, that's what kicked off this whole afternoon of planning. I don't have anything planned until March and no way to hit 20K by then unless I spend $1200 for a personal trip to Copenhagen. I'm already Gold status this year, so I'm just giving up 75K.

    I just made a list of all my expected flights in 2023 and I am just *barely* going to hit @AlaskaAir MVP Gold status (40K) by the very end of the year.

    How did I fly so much in 2019?? I hit Gold 75K status by April in 2019! ๐Ÿคฏ

    I own an Apple TV.

    I own not a single other Apple device. Not one.

    Every time I start the Apple TV I get this prompt now.

    @Apple what do you expect me to do about this?

    I just had a similar experience trying to make a new account to submit a podcast. Apple fully expects you to have an iPhone or Mac signed in to the same account that you can use to accept T
